Whether it was ahead of its time or not, the ''Sanitation and Safety Law'' of the New Holy Roman Empire had been enacted, mandating its enforcement nationwide through legal means.
Factories were the first to be targeted, as they had to improve their workers' living conditions to meet the minimum standards set by the ''Sanitation and Safety Law''.
The advantage of not locating factories in cities became apparent at this time, as it was very easy to acquire land from the surrounding areas.
With the development of the African Colony, a large influx of cheap timber entered the domestic market, making the cost of constructing wooden houses quite low, thus solving the problem in about ten to fifteen days.
Naturally, this was discordant for factories that remained in the urban areas, where acquiring land in such precious cities was much more expensive.
