The following will happen when selecting the focus:

Anarchists In The Government
Though the anarchists of CAN have so far been hesitant about joining the congress, they have now mostly come to an agreement that cooperation with a statist entity is necessary. With representation in the Congress, they can oppose any proposals from PON or IES that infringe too much on their liberty.
|
|
|
Advisors From Stalliongrad
Our comrades in Stalliongrad have had years of experience from both struggle against the bourgeoisie as well as running a communist country. We would be foolish to not ask for their help. Their sharpest minds and most cunning commanders will be a great boon to our war effort... That is, if they agree to send them here.
|
|
|
Workers' Self-Management
The means of production belong to the workers, so the workers themselves must be allowed to manage their own businesses freely with minimal interference. With increased autonomy in daily labour, morale will be boosted and exploitation by bosses and managers will be eliminated completely.
|
|
Factories and farms are being collectivized, with the former capitalists and managers being removed out of the picture. Control over production is exercised by democratic (and admittedly inefficient) assemblies of the workers themselves, and their surplus production benefits us as a whole instead of going into the deep, ravenous pockets of overseers.
|
Deciding The Mayor's Fate
The former mayor of Baltimare, Ash Moustache, proved to be no better than the despotic mare who set her police-hounds upon us during the general strike of 995. He openly welcomed the imperialist thestrals and happily cooperated with their short-lived tyrannical regime. Yet some among us speak of friendship and forgiveness. The Congress must convene to decide his fate.
|
| |
State Interventionism
The path to communism is not an easy one, and the recent economic chaos has proven that intervention by a central authority is necessary as a temporary measure, especially during conflict. As our government is a democratic and proletarian one, workers' control of the state-owned means of production is still possible.
|
|
State Interventionism
The Congress now directly intervenes in the economy by issuing directives, decrees and quotas. All economic plans must be approved by the government before they can be executed.
|
Loot Royal Armouries
The small garrison of the Equestrian army in Baltimare was apprehended by the lunarists when they occupied the city, but their equipment was left alone in their armouries. What are we waiting for? Let's crack them open and empty them and take what we need. We don't want the guns to end up in the filthy hooves of monarchists or lunarists, after all.
|
|
|
Form Industrial Committees
So far there has been a complete lack of planning and cooperation in our newly established socialist economy. We must rectify this by establishing democratic workers' committees in our production facilities and farms, which will then make decentralized economic plans together and execute them in collaboration with each other.
|
|
|
Mage Meadowbrook's Aid
In the Hayseed Swamps, one of the ancient Pillars of Equestria lives. She is known as Meadowbrook and her skills at healing are already famous in the region. While she has shown no interest in our revolutionary cause and might harbour monarchist sympathies, she is more than willing to heal our wounded and sick militiaponies, which helps their morale as well.
|
Mage Meadowbrook's Aid
Mage Meadowbrook of the Hayseed Swamps, one of the six Pillars of Equestria, has volunteered to heal our ailing soldiers.
| |
Weapons From Stalliongrad
Our comrades in the cold north have a thriving industry and vast stockpiles of armaments. Surely they will happily supply us with anything we ask for? This way we will leave the Equestrian armouries alone and avoid angering them or their supporters. Of course, we must first decide what exactly we want from Stalliongrad.
|
|
|
Establish The Supreme Economic Council
The Congress has decreed that a single council shall be established that will be responsible for formulating a single state-wide economic plan for the duration of the war. They will also supervise that all institutions below them will closely follow their plans for production, distribution and allocation. Divergence from this plan will not be tolerated.
|
|
Thanks to hasty economic reforms, some semblance of order has been introduced to the economy and production rates have increased. But many issues remain which hurt the efficiency of most facilities.
|
Armed Trade Unions
Our labour unions have already taken up arms and formed their own militias. Now Comrade Delicious proposes we enshrine their right to bear arms in law, further integrating the common workers into our military. Members of trade unions are eager to serve and defend their homes from reactionary aggression, though their skill is questionable at best.
|
|
Military Disarray
Several reforms have been implemented, which introduce some much needed order into the army. There are more officers, better equipment and more coordination among the ranks, and a rough command structure is being established.
Military Disarray
The army is in a much better shape, which capable officers spread evenly among the ranks in a well-planned command structure. Training regimens and experience on the field have both make the common soldiers better at doing their job. Not much more is needed for Baltimare to have a proper and organized modern army.

| |
Consolidate Production
It is becoming clear to us that small businesses are lacking in efficiency compared to larger ones. We must shut down the shops of the petit bourgeoisie and establish larger syndicates of production, capable of employing more workers and being easier to manage by our committees.
|
|
|
Anti-Monarchist Rally
Equestrian ponies have traditionally always looked up to Princess Celestia and other alicorns as some godlike beings who can do no wrong. The violent repression of the Winter Revolution proved otherwise, as has the recent civil war. Yet some still delude themselves. We must reveal the truth of these despicable monarchs to all, and hopefully turn them to our side.
|
| |
Create The MIS
Lavender Berry, leader of the IES, has proposed we establish a secret service comprised of his party members. They will investigate suspected traitors to the revolution and apprehend enemy spies, as well as decrypt the communications of our foes. Lavender is eager to make use of his talents as the head of such an organisation.

|
Military Commissars
To maintain high morale within our militia and to better endoctrinate them to our revolutionary cause, we need political commissars attached to every military unit. Not only will they act as inspiring leaders, but will also manage supplies and maintain strict war-time rationing among our ranks.

Protect The Middle Class
The anarcho-syndicalists are eager to collectivize the property of smallholders and traders, thinking that they are enemies of the revolution. They are mistaken. It is the bourgeoisie, the imperialists and the monarchists who stand against us. We do not want to antagonize the moderates; Instead, let us befriend them and gain a powerful ally.
|
|
|
Form The Delicious Column
As Golden Delicious marches across the countryside, more and more ponies flock to his red banner, eager to participate in the revolution. Many foreigners arrive from abroad too, eager to help our cause. We should welcome them openly and give them supplies so they can participate in the fighting and bring the revolution to our enemies.
|
|
|
Abolish The Bit
Money has no place in the socialist society we are creating as the war rages on. Distribution shall solely be based on need instead of personal wealth. We will repurpose native temples into communal warehouses and allow the ponies to take what they need from them. If shortages appear, rationing will take place so everyone gets their fair share.
|
|
|
Red Terror
The anti-monarchist rally has galvanized us. Let us now release this fury kindling in our hearts and aim it at the enemies among us, the bankers, the industrialists, the imperialists, the monarchists, the priests and the landowners. All who threaten the revolution of the proletariat, all who have oppressed us for decades and centuries, all must bleed.
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Devolve Government
While so far the Congress has been capable of making relatively wise decisions, the influence of the statists is too great and hinders our plans for a true socialist utopia. To remove these centrists, reformists and traitors to the revolution out of the picture, we must weaken the Congress and empower local, grassroots institutions.
|
|
|
Arrest Anarchists
Stalliongrad keeps threatening to withdraw support if we do not do something about the radical mobs endangering the integrity of our newborn communist state. We cannot allow them to roam around with their own armed patrols, illegally collectivizing what they want and disregarding the decisions of the Congress. Law and order must be restored by any means necessary.
|
|
|
To The Barricades!
Now that we are secure from within, we must secure ourselves from without. Reactionaries wishing to destroy our revolution need to be crushed, and the workers have to be rallied to defend their communal homes from the enemy who wishes to take everything away from us and reduce us back into slavery. Long live the revolution! They shall not pass!
|
|
|
Proclaim The SESR
Now that we have defeated the opposition to our revolution, it is time to integrate the lands which were previously under reactionary occupation. All proletariat are welcome to join our newborn South-Eastern Socialist Republic and embrace its socialist ideals. Workers of the south-east, unite!
|
| |
Hold Elections
The foundations for our republic are in place. Soon it will be time for the provisional government to step down and for new leaders, elected democratically, to take their place. Of course, reactionary parties will not be allowed to participate, but other than that all adult proletariat are free to vote or become candidates.
|
| |
CAN's Revolution
The militants of the Confederation of Anarchists have succeeded in their goal of dismantling the despicable state. Now the workers of the south-east can know true freedom and communism, instead of the propagandist lies that PON and IES wish to feed them. Power begets parasites. Long live Anarchy!
|
| |
Drive Out The Monarchists
Supporters of the old order have no place in our revolutionary society. Celestia is like an overbearing authoritative mother, and these fools are like foals who do not dare to speak against her. If they love her so much, then why don't they get the heck out of here and run back to their sweet princess?
|
| |
Erase All Traces Of Statism
The bloated, inefficient and heartless organism of state must not simply be slain, its remains must be burnt to ashes. All the bureaucrats will have to find new employment, but at least we are no longer oppressed by an artificial monster we had created to rule over us. The end result will be a patchwork of decentralized, autonomous communes which govern themselves.
|
Nothing is left of the old government of south-eastern Equestria and the short-lived SESR. All regional agencies, ministries, offices, commissions, departments and so on are gone for good.
| |
Freedom Of Faith
While many of us have low opinions on religion, it is ultimately each individual's private matter. As long as faith is not used as a tool of oppression, it will be allowed to be practiced freely. The natives will rejoice and be reassured that we have no intention to repress their unique and valuable culture.
|
| |
| ||
| ||
No Princesses, Nor State, Nor Boss
Despots and overlords, oppressors of all kind, do not exist in our free society. Voluntary cooperation, mutual aid and horizontalism form our core principles. No one is forced to do anything, yet everyone must understand the importance of the greater good. We have no need for anyone to guide or lead us, as long as we share a common goal. Freedom forever!
|
No Princesses, Nor State, Nor Boss
The South-East has fully embraced the core tenets of anarchism, which espouse a society without leaders and hierarchy.
| |
Participatory Democracy
The representative democracy of SESR was a joke. True democracy isn't about choosing who makes decisions for you. It is about being able to participate in decision-making personally. Every individual has the right to take part in the politics of their commune, and each commune can take part in the politics of the confederacy. Thus, we will have real, direct democracy.
|
||
Tear Down Taboos
The rules of our free society are not as restrictive and oppressive as the laws of the past. Almost everything that doesn't harm others is allowed, as individuals cannot impose their own morality upon others. Things which were previously forbidden and frowned upon are now seen as natural. Let us liberate ourselves from the shackles of society!
|
||
Abolish Compulsory Education
Forcing young foals to sit on a school bench eight hours a day and five days a week is nothing but capitalist oppression, an assembly line of skilled workers for their factories. This authoritarian education system must be torn down and replaced with democratic, voluntary education. Explaining the importance of studying to foals and including play and choice will make them eager to learn.
|
| |
Suffer No State To Live
A new state has been founded west of us, and like us they are a confederacy. But instead of consisting of anarchist communes, they consist of racist states, bent on protecting their "rights", such as the right to oppress native buffalo. We will not tolerate such a disgusting entity existing next door. No, we must tear it down and burn it to the ground!
|
|
|
Suppress The Middle Class
So far the traders and merchants have been unenthusiastic about our revolution and refuse to allow their businesses to be collectivized. They wish to keep their high wages and expensive bourgeois lifestyle at the expense of their workers. This cannot be tolerated, though we cannot use force. They must be driven out of the market so they eventually go bankrupt and join our collectives voluntarily.
|
||
Federal Charter
With a majority in the Ponies' Parliament, we can draft a new amendment to the constitution for SESR, establishing it as a federal nation consisting of member states with extensive rights. To avoid complete chaos, the central government will retain some legislative power, but most responsibility will be devolved to lower levels, to local communes, municipalities and provinces.
|
||
Persuade The Farmers
As an organization of urban trade unions, we have never enjoyed much popularity outside of cities. Rural collectives remain few in number and most of the land remains in the hooves of individual landowners and native tribes. The solution is sending rural revolutionaries to spread the word of the benefits of joining a collective and highlighting the flaws of the capitalist system.
|
More and more rural collectives are established each day, their inhabitants enjoying a rising standard of living and increased productivity.
Native Resistance
Some native tribes have ceased to resist us and have instead willingly joined our collectives. Others continue to fight back, but it is only a matter of time before they abandon their foolish resistance as well.
| |
Thestral Segregation
As our fight against the stubborn lunar resistance continues, we must begin to consider what we do with the thestral population of the south-east once the fighting ends. The most popular proposal is that of making thestrals second-class citizens and guaranteeing them some basic rights, yet keeping them separate from the main populace for safety reasons.
|
| |
Native Reservations
While many natives have voluntarily joined our communes, something must be done about those who cling on to their backwards ways. If they want to live their lives in poverty and misery, so be it. If they leave us alone, we will leave them alone too, in designated zones reserved for native inhabitation only.
|
| |
Disband Political Parties
Political parties are an obstacle to true democracy. They group individuals according to their political views, and are usually open to everyone regardless of class, which presents an opportunity for bourgeois influence. Trade unions are far better as organizations, for they are for the working class only, and are not divided politically. Therefore parties must be entirely supplanted by unions.
|
||
Our Anarchist Allies
TER does not exist on its own, but as an alliance with the anarchist organization of CAN. Together we are known as CAN-TER, and have cooperated for years, preparing for revolution and demanding more rights for the workers. Now that the revolution has been successful, our friendship can continue to flourish. Together, we will create a free socialist society, where the state has minimal power over the workers.
|
Anarchist Allies
The anarchists of CAN are proud members of the federation and promote decentralized, anti-statist policies and liberal values.
| |
Expand Union Membership
Labour unions exist to protect their members from abuse, to empower the common worker and to unite the working class together. Membership in unions is only a good thing, yet many workers in the south-east have not joined one yet. We must promote unions and encourage ponies to sign up and join them!
|
||
Workers' Assemblies
The structure of governance must be built from the bottom up. Therefore all decisions must be made in plenary assemblies, where all workers who are members of the unions in question seek to reach a consensus. This system, existing on every level of government from local to national, will enshrine direct democracy as the foundation of the SESR.
|
||
Industrial Unions
The building blocks of our federation shall be industrial unions. They unite workers across multiple crafts in the same industry under one banner, thus giving the members more power than they would have if they were divided into smaller craft unions. This way solidarity among workers of each industrial sector will also be promoted, and industrial unions can work together to advance our society and improve our lives.
|
| |
Support Unions Abroad
The cause of revolution is international, and it is our duty to aid our comrades who continue to suffer in wage-slavery beyond the borders of our federation. We, ponies of TER, must continue to maintain friendship with all unions of Equus, so one day all workers of the world will be free from their chains.
|
||
Propaganda Campaign
The most effective tool of the revolution is propaganda. It can be used to easily win the support of the working class and to inspire them to fight against reactionaries and class enemies. Propaganda must therefore be spread on the radio, in the newspapers, on posters and loudspeakers and more. If we also "persuade" the popular healer Meadowbrook to support us, the ponies will love us.
|
||
Democratic Centralism
One grave issue with the socialists of Baltimare is their lack of unity. To ensure fruitful cooperation, all decisions agreed upon via democratic vote will be binding for all party members and lower bodies of government. This will also speed up the decision-making process as a whole, with less time spent on arguing. Some say it is not truly democratic, but none can deny it is more efficient.
|
||
Ban Religion
The natives of the south-east have a worrying practice of worshipping a sun deity, the thestrals see the tyrant Nightmare Moon as a godly figure and among the Celestial State are similar religious fanatics. Their faith drove them to violent and repressive acts during the war, proving what a danger religion truly is. We must stop this nonsense at once and impose strict punishments for worshippers.
|
||
| ||
| ||
Unban Non-Socialist Parties
If the ponies want true democracy, let them have it. The ban on non-socialist parties will be lifted, for the most part, though most extreme and reactionary parties remain strictly forbidden. They are unlikely to challenge our power, but at least the more conservative proletariat will rejoice.
|
| |
Student Exchange With Stalliongrad
There are many highly educated ponies in Stalliongrad who have graduated from their communist institutes and academies. We should send some of our students there who could learn much from them, and in return welcome any curious pupils from Stalliongrad who wish to study in Stableside or Tenochtitlan.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Cultural Revolution
To preserve our frail and newborn communism, we must expunge remains of capitalism and traditionalism from our society. The cultural divisions in our country will be no more, and Severyanian will become the new official language of SESR. From the ashes, a proud socialist nation will rise!
|
Cultural Revolution
Under the wise guidance of Comrade Chafer, the remnants of the old and decadent society are being removed.
| |
All-Union Central Council Of Trade Unions
The syndicalists of TER have long requested more union representation in government to ensure true workers' control of the economy. To appease them, we shall establish the AUCCTU, an umbrella organization of the country's many labour unions. They will act as partners in management, promoting worker morale and productivity as well as providing them services and improving their standard of living.
|
||
University Towns
Scientists work best when they have peace, services and good salaries. All these are guaranteed in dedicated university towns, far from the bustle of big cities and equipped with a wide array of services. Such settlements must be established around SESR so scholars can move in them and innovate better than ever before.
|
| |
|
| |
IES In Power
The plans were successful. Traitors to the revolution have been sidelined. Our control of the SESR has been mostly secured. Yet traitors and reactionary filth remain. They must be eradicated with extreme prejudice. This is Comrade Berry's decree and it will be obeyed. Glory to the South-East. |
| |
Control The Press
The so-called "freedom of speech" presents a threat to our stability. It allows subversive and dangerous ideas to spread if left unchecked. The "Baltimare Times" and associated publications must undergo extensive scrutiny by editors. They will ultimately be cleansed of reactionary thought.
|
||
Weaken The Parliament
The Ponies' Parliament presents an obstruction for the functioning of state bureaucracy. Comrade Berry is displeased with remaining dissidents in it. They must not be allowed to interfere in the execution of his directives. Therefore the constitution must be amended. The yes-ponies of our party will guarantee this motion carries. The parliament will be defanged completely.
|
||
Purge Opposition
Some are displeased with the current situation. Their dissent presents a threat to our stability. They must be silenced before they gather more followers. Time is of the essence. We must act quickly. We must act ruthlessly. We must do all we can to ensure peace and order. No matter the cost.
|
||
Burn The Jungles
The thestral scum think they will prevail by hiding in the jungle. But what is a safe haven will quickly become a deadly trap. Copious amounts of napalm and other incendiaries are being prepared for the greatest fire-bombing campaign in known history. The lunar resistance will be completely eliminated.
|
| |
I Said Burn Them!
Comrade Berry is not pleased with the indigenous ponies who continue to endanger the safety of citizens and opposing government control. The most severe areas of resistance are to be destroyed. If the rest continue to fight they will be destroyed as well. We are ready to wipe out the entire dissident population if needed.
|
| |
Reactionary Labour Camps
Those imprisoned for conspiring against the State have unexploited potential. They should not be left to rot in their cells. Comrade Berry has a far better use for them. They shall toil in the mines. They shall toil in the jungles. They shall mine. They shall make roads. When they perish they will do so with a smile on their lips for they know they contributed for the greater good of the State.
|
||
Fortify The Border
The threats from within are being dealt with efficiently. Preparations must be made for facing the threats without. The prisoners must be put to work to construct bunkers and trenches across the border. We need to be prepared for tyrannical foreign states invading our own sovereign State.
|
||
| ||
A single checkpoint has been established which processes entrants from abroad. Every single individual is screened extensively and allowed to enter and work in the country, as long as they do not prove to be dangerous.
| ||
Glory To The South-East
The South-East State shall last a thousand years. It is the most stable country. It is the most prosperous country. It is the strongest country. Nothing can destroy that which is invincible. Not even Equestria or the Lunar Empire. We shall show them that we are indestructible.
|
| |
To Each According To Need
Increased collectivization results in increased productivity as workers are more eager to work for themselves and the community rather than for an oppressive, demanding boss. This means there is a surplus, and this surplus belongs to all who need it, no matter who they are. The cripples, the young, the ill and the elderly, all shall have their share.
|
The revolutionaries of [Root.GetName] are continuing the collectivization of all private property without any opposition from state socialists. They follow the principle espoused by Caramel Marks where everypony will receive according to their need.
| |
Mutual Aid
Every commune is reliant on other communes to sustain itself, as no commune can produce everything they need by themselves. Resources and services are exchanged freely for mutual benefit, with no one asking for payment or immediate reward. Selfishness and greed have no place in our society.
|

They follow the principle espoused by Caramel Marks where everypony will receive according to their need. As such, generous mutual aid is regarded as vital for the survival of society.
| |
A Haven Of Friendship And Freedom
In south-eastern Equestria, we have a created a society that slowly advances towards a utopia. There is no oppression, nothing compulsory or mandatory. A pony once said that nothing is certain except death and taxes. But here, only death is guaranteed, especially for bosses, reactionaries and monarchists!
|
||
Worker Cooperatives
Self-management of factories by workers isn't enough. They must always be owned by the workers too! Ownership will be shared between the workers and all of them will have a voice, either democratically making decisions or electing worker-managers who are still considered to be equals. Instead of primarily pursuing profit, cooperatives will seek to improve the lives of their own members.
|
Factories and farms are controlled and owned entirely by the workers, with the former capitalists and hired managers being removed out of the picture. Control over production is exercised by democratic (and admittedly inefficient) assemblies of the workers themselves.

| |
Incentives For Collectivization
Using the threat of violence to force ponies to collectivize their property goes against our principles of voluntary associations and freedom from oppression. Instead of the stick we must use the carrot, and compensate smallholders and businessponies for their loss. We must also present socialism as a viable alternative to the capitalist economy that has just collapsed.
|
| |
Moneyless Economy
There are no currencies or markets in the South-East. Instead, expendable vouchers are used by the populace to acquire goods.
| ||
Steel Mills Of Baltimare
Steel is by far the most useful material in modern industry. The steelworkers of Baltimare are planning to expand their production so the entire country can be supplied with it. Other communes should aid their efforts in the name of solidarity, knowing it will benefit the society as a whole in the future.
|
||
To Each According To Contribution
We wish to create a society of justice, which means no one will unfairly receive more than others for doing less. Work will be compensated with labour vouchers which can then be exchanged for goods. This way our Republic will have no parasites leeching on others. Those simply incapable of work will be granted enough to fulfill their basic needs. The lazy can go and starve!
|
The revolutionaries of [Root.GetName] are continuing the collectivization of all private property without any opposition from state socialists. It is becoming a true workers' state, where only those who work and those physically incapable of work receive their share of the society's surplus. The rest are given nothing.
| |
Connect The Cities
The rough and forested terrain of south-eastern Equestria is an impediment to economic development and trade between cities, especially inland. While ships are a fine method of transport, they have lower capacity than modern trains. By investing in proper railways between our cities, we will enable further urban development across the region.
|
|
|
Eradicate Bureaucracy
As unions grow, so does their bureaucracy -- exponentially. The bloated bureaucracy then acts as an obstacle for true democracy and diminishes the power of the working class. The sole purpose in life of bureaucrats seems to be apologising for and defending the capitalist system of exploitation. As such, we must have the smallest possible bureaucracy, as efficient as it can be.

In addition the bloated bureaucracy of state has been eliminated.
| |
Found New Unions
There remain many sectors of industry with minimal union membership, or no unions at all. We must address this by founding new unions to represent workers of all kinds of professions, such as gunsmiths and dockworkers. Only then can we guarantee the emancipation of the entire working class.
|
||
Urbanization Program
Despite our efforts some ponies on the countryside remain unconvinced of our cause, as we primarily focus on improving the lives of the urban workers. One solution is encouraging migration from farms and the plantations into the cities, where the quality of life and availability of services are higher. Investing in urban expansion is therefore important.
|
| |
The Ponies' Institute Of Science
After our revolution, the south-east has lacked a center of education. We will found a new one, the country-wide Ponies' Institute of Science. Anyone can participate and study, no matter where they live or what their background is. While everyone won't graduate, all ponies will learn something new to improve their lives. Those who do graduate will be able to greatly contribute to society.
|
| |
Continue Nationalization
While the civil war raged on, we did what we had to and nationalized private property as a temporary measure on the road to true communism. But the foolish libertarian socialists didn't realize that order was needed in the chaos and tried to sabotage us. Now that we are firmly in power, we can get back to assuming ownership of property in the name of the workers' state.
|
Continued Nationalization
The Ponies' Parliament has passed legislation which makes it the de jure owner of all property and means of production, making it legal to seize them from their unlawful owners who are often greedy capitalists. Without opposition from the revolutionaries of CAN-TER, the state is free to appropriate private property for the workers.
| |
A Limited Market Economy
Our country is devastated after the brutal war. For quick growth and recovery, some changes in policy are necessary. We need elements of free market and capitalism, though both must remain under state control. Socialized state enterprises will from now on operate on a profit basis. Chafer assures everyone that this is merely a temporary measure on the path to communism.
|
Limited Market Economy
Some elements of a free market and capitalism are mixed in with a planned state economy, enabling faster growth.
Markets and money exist, but without despicable bourgeoisie. Instead, the state has full control over both.
| |
Investment From Stalliongrad
Stalliongrad is an industrial powerhouse, and while their economy is not perfect they can still afford to invest in us, their reliable southern allies. We will guarantee them that their investments will be worthwhile, allowing us to grow and become strong. In return, we are willing to grant them a portion of our rubber production.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Workers' Councils
The formation of SESR has meant that government bureaucracy is too over-extended to manage the entire economy. Local workers' councils must be established, managing economies of individual administrative divisions and consisting of elected, revocable and temporary delegates elected in the workplaces of the area. They will, however, remain accountable to the Ponies' Parliament.

Without opposition from the revolutionaries of CAN-TER, the state is free to appropriate private property for the workers. The means of production are then controlled by workers' councils who are still obedient to the Parliament.
| |
Ponies' Commissariat Of Defence Industry
A decree by the Ponies' Parliament hereby establishes the PCDI, responsible for managing and planning our military production. It will oversee all manufacturing plants whose primary responsibility is the construction of arms, aircraft, ships and ammunition, as well as design offices and weapons development facilities.

Maize, The Miracle Crop
Maize, otherwise known as corn, is a truly wonderful crop. Chafer has been singing its praises for many moons now, saying that we must plant it wherever possible. Thousands of acres of new farmland will be cleared for new farmland and our agricultural sector will boom, he claims. Some in the parliament are sceptical, but the results of this experiment will speak for themselves.
|
Corn lord Chafer has convinced us of the greatness of maize.
The Ponies' Parliament has passed legislation which makes it the de jure owner of all property and means of production, making it legal to seize them from their unlawful owners who are often greedy capitalists. Without opposition from the revolutionaries of CAN-TER, the state is free to appropriate private property for the workers. The means of production are then controlled by workers' councils who are still obedient to the Parliament. In the state-owned farms, massive maize planting programs have begun.

Chaferyovka
To keep our cities growing, more housing is needed. However, it is costly and labour-intensive to build, meaning the process is too slow to respond to increasing demand. Comrade Chafer has proposed a solution: prefabricated and cheap apartment buildings made mostly our of concrete or bricks mass-produced near the construction site.

Twenty-Year Plan
With the state now owning most means of production, it is the responsibility of the state to prepare an extensive plan for economic development and growth of the near future. In twenty years, [Root.GetLeader] claims, we will have true communism, with poverty eradicated and our prosperity surpassing that of capitalist nations.

State Interventionism
The Congress now directly intervenes in the economy by issuing directives, decrees and quotas. All economic plans must be approved by the government before they can be executed.

Expand Rubber Plantations
Rubber is among the most valuable resources we have here in the south-eastern jungles. By clearing out forest and marshland for more state-owned tree plantations, we can increase its production even further. Soon enough we will be among the leading producers of rubber in the world, the envy of capitalists of other tropical nations.

The University Of Baltimare
The state has plans to officially open a new facility of education in the capital, under the patronage of [Root.GetLeader] himself. It will be the primary place of higher education in the nation, attracting students from every town and village, some of which will hopefully graduate and contribute to the greatness of our state.

We can only rely on ourselves.

Continued Nationalization
The Ponies' Parliament has passed legislation which makes it the de jure owner of all property and means of production, making it legal to seize them from their unlawful owners who are often greedy capitalists. Without opposition from the revolutionaries of CAN-TER, the state is free to appropriate private property for the workers. The economy is directly managed by the government.
| ||
Repurpose Factories
Too much of our industrial capacity is used for vanities. It is a remnant of capitalism under despicable Celestia. It will be cleansed. Citizens will only have what they truly need. No excess. No gluttony. The facilities will become forges of products needed for the survival of the State. Guns. Bullets. Bombs. And much more.
|
||
Efficient Job Assignment
Ponies have talent marks gained in youth which indicate their preferred duties. It is inefficient to have ponies following their passions. The State must assign necessary tasks to ponies capable of doing them. Ponies will work on what they need to work on, not on what they desire to work on.

Weather Micromanagement
Pegasi are able to control to weather to some extent. This ability is not utilized as much as it could be. Pegasus citizens must be drafted into weather-management battalions. They will ensure favourable weather for agriculture and military operations. The effect on the local fauna and flora will be disregarded.
|
Nothing is beyond the reach of the State. Not even the weather.
| |
Impose Strict Quotas
Overconsumption by our citizens is a waste of resources. We will not tolerate waste. Some citizens are prone to sloth. We will not tolerate indolence. The State is efficient. Its citizens must be equally efficient. Every pony will fulfill their quotas of labour. No pony will exceed their quotas of consumption. Glory to the South-East. |
||
A Decentralized Militia
A single united army would be a dangerous idea, for its leaders would be too powerful. Who can guarantee they would not abuse their power? Therefore we must have a true army of the common ponies, compromised of part-time militia who make up for their lack of skill with their dedication to defend their homeland.
|
||
Everypony Armed And Ready
Because every member of our society owns a weapon, everyone is able to participate in the defence of our communes from foreign reactionary aggression, and in offence, liberating others from their capitalist shackles. Together, we can crush our foes and safeguard liberty to the last.
|
| |
We Fight For Freedom!
The soldiers of other, despotic countries fight for money, or they fight because they are forced to do so. But we ponies of the south-east fight for liberty. We fight against oppression and hierarchy, against inequality and tyranny. Our cause is noble, and we must all remember this and be emboldened.
|
For Freedom!
We must never forget that we fight for our liberty, and if we lose we will be back in chains.
Discipline is not something that comes when you beat up a soldier, it comes when they understand what they are fighting for and why.
| |
Native Auxiliaries
The natives who we have befriended want to participate in the defence of our confederation. There is no reason to forbid them from doing so. In fact, we can provide them modern arms and equipment, and in return they can guide us through the jungles, showing us secret paths behind the lines of the invading enemy.

Jungle: Attack: +5% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Marines: Jungle: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Mountain Infantry: Jungle: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Paratroopers: Jungle: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Pegasi: Jungle: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10%

Labour Union Militia
Trade unions have organized their own military units eager to protect their families.
Armed Trade Unions
The common worker is allowed by law to take up arms to defend themselves against imperialists and reactionaries.

Reconnaissance: +1.0 Breakthrough: +1.0

The Workers' Cause
We are not alone in this world. We cannot forget about the workers of the world and their struggle for emancipation. No, we must aid them when we can, and defend our own revolution from reactionary aggression. Fighting side by side with our comrades, we may perhaps one day realize our dream of a free proletarian world.
|
In Defence of the Workers' Cause
Workers of the world, unite!
Discipline is not something that comes when you beat up a soldier, it comes when they understand what they are fighting for and why.

Integrate Coltjun Militia
The Coltjun ponies of Hayseed Swamps immigrated from Prance many years ago and have developed their own distinct culture. Part of this culture is their unique style of guerilla warfare which they used to defend their homes during the war against thestrals. We should integrate their militia into our main forces and learn their tactics.
|
| |
Gifts From Our Comrades
Other revolutionaries of the world are happy to see our revolution succeed and sent shipments of weapons. Now they have finally arrived in the port of Baltimare and we will gladly receive this generous gift. The arms will be distributed to our military and any excess will be safely stored in our stockpiles.
|
| |
| ||
Support Company Development
For our soldiers to fight effectively, they need various kinds of support from trained specialists, such as engineers, medics, scouts and mages. This way they can fight with increased effectiveness and take fewer losses in battle. We should focus on training such specialists for our military.
|
| |
Military Mechanization
Modern technology enables increasingly rapid warfare and improved logistics, made possible by self-moving vehicles which will replace pony-drawn wagons of old. While their usage in the jungles is questionable, with improved roads our forces could benefit from mechanization greatly.
|
| |
Armoured Warfare
Landships, also known as tanks, are another revolutionary weapon of our age. Covered in thick plating, they can withstand more punishment than regular vehicles, and with their all-terrain tracks they can overcome most obstacles. Their firepower is nothing to scoff at either. Clearly, our workers must build new tanks which we must put into active use.
|
| |
| ||
Discipline In The Ranks
We will not tolerate those who disregard orders. Who do not faithfully obey their commanders. Who are not ready to die for their State. Our officers will be granted the right to punish dissident filth most severely. Our army must be the zenith of order. They will march to battle and death as one.
|
We will suffer no dissent among the ranks of our army.
Discipline and loyalty to the revolution will be maintained by any means necessary.
| |
| ||
Empowered MIS
The Military Investigation Service has been granted even more extensive powers and better equipment, so they can fulfill their duty with higher efficiency.

MIS - Military Investigation Service
The survival of the revolution must be ensured, no matter the cost.

Heavy Aircraft Development
Only proper, dedicated military aircraft can be strong enough to secure air superiority even when outnumbered. Fighters with twin engines and metal frames will sustain more damage and be able to fly further. They will also be adaptable and capable of completing a variety of missions. Our airplane factories will get to work at once.
|
||
Death From Above
After we have wrested control of the airspace with our fighters, our bombers can get to work. They will be able to not only target enemy soldiers and supply lines, but more strategic targets as well, destroying factories and terror bombing civilian habitation. Such planes would greatly augment our airforce.
|
||
Air-Sea War
Increased use of airplanes has not only revolutionized warfare on ground, but on water as well. Aircraft are predicted to ultimately be more effective than ships themselves at sea, but have a more limited range. Therefore we should invest in constructing carrier vessels, capable of transporting and supplying aircraft over long distances.
|
| |
Stalliongradian Doctrine
Over the last decade Stalliongrad has focused heavily on developing its innovative doctrine of mobile warfare, utilizing motorized infantry and armoured tanks to break through enemy lines and perform rapid encirclements. We should learn from them and adopt similar stratagems for our military.
|
| |
Thestral Battalions
Now that the lunarist resistance has been pacified, Light Narrative has proposed we form dedicated battalions consisting entirely of thestrals, mostly veterans of the war. This way we can not only keep an eye on them, but benefit from their experience and use it as a propaganda tool to prove to everyone that bat ponies are proud citizens of the SESR.
|
Night: Attack: +10% Movement: +10% Defence: +5%
| |
Commissar Training
Many commissars among the ranks of our army are purely political ones who have received minimal proper military training. We must address this at once and turn them into more effective supporting officers, who not only maintain a revolutionary fervour in the ranks but also issue useful commands.
|
Political commissars in the army have now received actual military training.
Discipline and loyalty to the revolution will be maintained by any means necessary.
