|---|---|---|
Two Minutes To Midnight
For countless generations we have prepared to go to war for the glory of the Nightmare, and now the hour of destiny is nearly upon us. It's time to reorganize our forces so that when our Goddess returns, we will be ready.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 All Hooves On Deck
This National Spirit will be removed upon the end of the Equestrian Civil War or upon Equestria removing the Forgotten Tribe National Spirit peacefully -------------- The hour of Her Imperial Majesty's return shall soon be upon us! We must now more than ever intensify our preparations for the inevitable conflict with Equestria and its Celestial Tyrant!
|
Intensified Labourer Acquisition Efforts
To further our efforts for the cause, we'll need some extra bodies to throw at our war machine. Our advisors have compiled a list of able-bodied citizens. They will surely enjoy another opportunity to serve Nightmare Moon.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Increased Work Quotas
It's not enough! We need more guns, more equipment, more of everything! Work the labourers to exhaustion if we have to, and turn their homes into factories if they complain! We must be ready to aid our Goddess in the coming war!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 Increased Work Quotas
This National Spirit will be removed upon the end of the Equestrian Civil War or upon Equestria removing the Forgotten Tribe National Spirit peacefully -------------- By our command, the subjects of the Chiropterra work night after night to build and produce what our legions need for the coming conflict.
|
Medicine, Chocolate And Other Such Riff-Raff
As our labourers toil away, we have suddenly found ourselves with a surplus of food in our storehouses. Eternal Eclipse has proposed that when the fighting breaks out, we send shipments of our extra food to help keep the Nightmare's forces well-fed.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Rifle, The Revolver And The Bomb
As the labourers toil in our factories, we have gained a surplus of firearms. We will prepare to send our finest guns to the Nightmare's supporters in Equestria. With any luck, they will use our superior designs as templates for their own troops.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Operation: Moonshine
As servants of the night, we work best in the shadows. If our plan to free the Nightmare from the false goddess Luna is to work, then we'll need to ensure that our existence is kept secret by any means necessary.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 The Moonshine Project
This National Spirit will be removed upon the start of the Equestrian Civil War or upon Equestria removing the Forgotten Tribe National Spirit peacefully -------------- While we have been running covert operations abroad since the first days of our Empress' banishment, with her Imperial Majesty's return at hoof, we must now reinvigorate our efforts to prepare for her coming.
The Moonshine Project
This National Spirit will be removed upon the start of the Equestrian Civil War or upon Equestria removing the Forgotten Tribe National Spirit peacefully -------------- While we have been running covert operations abroad since the first days of our Empress' banishment, with her Imperial Majesty's return at hoof, we must now reinvigorate our efforts to prepare for her coming.
|
Poison The South-East
Some of our agents have informed us that the southeastern region of Equestria lacks true believers in Her Majesty, and would likely try to resist Her Will. However, we can easily mitigate their resolve. All it will take is a discreet supply of narcotics to hinder their ability to organize themselves.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Infiltrate The Cities
Being a very large country, Equestria has a lot of industrial power to call upon should they realize their potential. We will place some agents in key locations across the country. Then all we'll need to do is give them the word and Equestria's military might will crumble under their lack of supplies.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Sabotage The Academia
It is no secret that Equestria holds some of the finest minds in the world. Fortunately for us, we know where they live. We'll just need to make sure that several "accidents" occur once the war begins.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Drill The Legions
It has come to our attention that our Legionaries aren't as disciplined as we'd like them to be. We will hold a grand military exercise to remind them of their purpose. This should also show our population that supporting Her Imperial Majesty is a cause worth enlisting for!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Auxiliary Recruitment Drive
With our increased acquisition of labourers, one general has proposed the idea of an auxiliary branch of recruits composed entirely of these same individuals. Though some doubt their loyalty, we will give them an opportunity to prove their worth.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Tactical Superiority
A millennium of preparing for battle has given us an edge in tactical knowledge. We will establish a mandate that all our new recruits as well as our seasoned veterans be given extensive training in the latest strategies. They will know what it means to be a Chiropterran Legionary.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 Tactical Superiority
This National Spirit will be removed upon the end of the Equestrian Civil War or upon Equestria removing the Forgotten Tribe National Spirit peacefully -------------- Our legions learn of intricate stratagems to withstand, counter, and overcome the enemy. |
Terror Bombing Tactics
With all of our new recruits, Lunar Hail has proposed a radical idea to the Legionary Council: Bomb Equestria into oblivion. We will give these recruits flight training and access to every bomber we can find, then order them to destroy Equestria's morale. All will learn to fear and respect the Nightmare.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Manehattan Pipeline
Through a significant amount of effort, we have established control over a small section of Manehattan's industry. When the Nightmare arrives, She will have an ample number of arms manufacturers to answer Her call.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Legionaries Lead The Way!
An in-depth analysis of the Nightmare's supporters in Equestria has concluded that they are woefully prepared for the reality of an armed conflict. Should the fighting break out now, they will surely perish. This cannot be allowed to happen. We will send our finest advisors to teach them how to properly wage a war.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
Attack Skill: +1 Defense Skill: +1 Planning Skill: +1 Logistics Skill: +1
|
One Minute To Midnight
Rejoice! We have done much in preparation for the Nightmare's return. Now all that's left is to wait for the living prison that is Princess Luna to crack under the pressure we've exerted, and then our glorious Nightmare Moon will rise once again!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
All Hooves On Deck
This National Spirit will be removed upon the end of the Equestrian Civil War or upon Equestria removing the Forgotten Tribe National Spirit peacefully -------------- The hour of Her Imperial Majesty's return shall soon be upon us! We must now more than ever intensify our preparations for the inevitable conflict with Equestria and its Celestial Tyrant! |
|
The Equestrian Civil War
The time has finally come. All doubt is washed away, and all hesitation undone. Once more Her Imperial Majesty has risen, and once more we will rally to her side! Operation Moonshine has begun, and this time, the Night will last for a thousand years!
|
|
|
|
Bolster the Smuggling Operations
Wars are meat grinders that consume both bodies and guns, and the civil war tearing Equestria apart is a war unlike any we have faced before. To this end, we must acquire more weapons than ever before, and we must do it now.
|
|
|
FOB Summerfield
Nightmare Moon calls for us and we shall obey. To this end, a Forward Operating Base will be established in the areas she control, from which our finest soldiers can operate in the service of the night.
|
|
|
|
Take On the Burden
Many ponies in Her Imperial Majesty's territory have refused to see the truth, and the longer they rot, the more they consume resources our Queen needs in her war. We will offer to take on these prisoners: we know how to put them to good use.
|
|
|
Send Instructors
For a thousand years we have waited and prepared, and in that time we have learned much of war. Our numbers may pale in comparison to Her Imperial Majesty's Equestrian legions, but with our knowledge they can become even more deadly.
|
|
|
Drive Up Recruitment
There will be no discussion and no exceptions, not now when the fate of everything is on the line. The war demands blood, and we will provide as much as needed to secure victory.
|
|
|
For the Empire!
This is the day we've awaited for a thousand years, and we must steel ourselves for the task at hoof. All must be given for the cause, and war must be all that we can envision until the final body hits the ground.
|
|
|
|
Offer Redemption
Though some zealots would gladly give our prisoners a neck-shot and some shovels of dirt, that would be wasteful. Those who stood against us can still atone for their crimes in war, especially if they know what the alternative is.
|
|
|
Expand the Imperial Rifles
The Imperial Rifles have served well, and keeping their numbers down has helped us keep them as elite as they have been, but this war will demand more than the formations we currently have.
|
|
|
Forward Listening Posts
The world groans under the weight of the grand clash, and our enemies at home will gladly strike at us if we drop our guard. In order to counter this, we need to keep monitoring their every move, lest they catch us unaware.
|
|
|
The War At the Homefront
The luxuries of peace must become a distant memory for us, any waste or hesitation to commit would not only sabotage the war effort, but also be outright treasonous towards Her Imperial Majesty. We are not going to commit anything less than all we have to Her!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Standardise Rifle Manufacturing
The age of smuggling and scavenging is going to have to end: we have acquired enough different weapons to know which technologies and designs work the best. Now, we will implement them so that we can arm our forces truly uniformly.
|
|
|
Boost Wartime Production
"Set up new production lines, double the shifts, raise quotas, employ corporeal punishment for workers who slack off, I don't care how you boost productivity, but do it, and do it now. -Lord Commander Autumn Breeze" |
|
|
Support Gear Procurement
Our smuggling network is vast, and we can use it to procure more than just rifles. If we focus our efforts on acquiring more specialized tools, that will let our industry focus on the more easily-produced equipment.
|
|
|
Expand Vehicular Production
Unlike in Her Imperial Majesty's first war for dominance, this war will demand vehicles as well as bodies, and our engineers have thankfully produced designs that will serve both us and Her Imperial Majesty well, as long as we make sure to get the vehicle production up and running.
|
|
|
Artillery Procurements
Properly deployed, artillery can account for three-fourths of all the casualties inflicted upon the enemy. Our Imperial Rifles have always made good use of artillery since the advent of gunpowder, and in order to ensure that we can keep hammering our foes, we must make sure to acquire as many artillery pieces as possible.
|
|
|
The Jungle Corps
Southern Equestria is teeming with jungles, and our exile in Zebrica has given us plenty of experience fighting in them. Using this knowledge, we can ensure the Disciples of the Night can use the jungles to their greatest advantage.
|
|
|
Insurgent Training Camps
Equestria's southern regions are contested by the Disciples of the Night, a zealous army indeed. Yet, their zeal outpaces their skill, and if they are to be the weapons that Her Imperial Majesty truly needs, we must spare no expenses in helping to mould them into true soldiers of the Night.
|
|
|
|
Supply the Disciples
The Disciples are fighting a war on several fronts, and all the zeal in the world can't compensate for lack of equipment. We must ensure that they are given proper armaments, no matter what we must do to reach them.
|
|
|
Domestic Rubber Production
Chiropterra has the perfect climate to produce rubber, and with the realization of how important this material is for modern wars, the recourse is clear; start producing all the rubber we can. It is not glamorous, but necessary, and victory will demand the mundane as much as the heroic.
|
|
|
Transport the POWs
As Her Imperial Majesty's loyalists seize more and more prisoners, we have humbly offered to keep them in our lands. Of course, that is not to say we were planning to just let them sit around. If they won't serve the Night willingly, they can serve unwillingly.
|
|
|
Psychological Warfare
The soft ponies of Equestria might think they are ready to fight us, but they'll learn otherwise. Wars are won when your opponent is broken, whether physically or spiritually, and terror is as deadly a blade as any gun.
|
|
|
|
Yet Another Failure
Despite our best efforts, Operation Moonshine has failed. It is the second rebellion our bloodlines have lost and it will take the powers of the Nightmare herself to convince our nation that we should prepare for a third attempt. We must look to our current state of affairs and determine what needs to be changed so that we can last another thousand years.
|
|
|
|
A Failure On the Homefront
We have failed in our efforts, but we cannot hold only the Legionnaire responsible. Our homefront was just as critical to Moonshine as our soldiers were. We must prepare for our next crusade and build an economy that is able to support it, even if it takes another thousand years to prepare.
|
|
|
Tighten the Grip
The treatment of our native Labourers has been too relaxed. The restraints on the Commission allowed for silent protest and 'protections' among the few dissidents there were. We must tighten our hold over this critical part of the economy and not allow even one soul to think of anything beyond service.
|
|
|
|
Calibrated Acquisition Operations
Our raiding parties will be equipped with our most modern equipment and soldiers. We cannot afford to limit ourselves in these missions anymore, by diverting more resources to each raid we should be able to enjoy greater returns on the labourers acquired.
|
|
|
LMRD Test Subject Procurement Standardisation
The LMRD is an invaluable asset to Chiropterra and we cannot throttle their need for test subjects anymore. We shall finally grant them free reign to take whichever labourers they require for experiments without the need for approval from the Native Affairs Commission.
|
|
|
Behavioral Correction Collars
Behavioral Correction collars have a simple, but deadly design. A small explosive charge is encased in five pounds of durable steel. A microphone and a radio wave receiver and transmitter allow for the location of labourers to be monitored along with their conversations. Need be, the collars can be detonated remotely.
|
|
|
|
Food Ration Standardisation
One of our founders a thousand years ago wrote a simple directive as we established ourselves; if one works, one eats. We shall apply this straightforward directive to our labourers who will only be given their rations after they have performed their allotted duties for the day. Those who do not work, do not eat.
|
|
|
Special Access Zones
The LMRD and Native Affairs Commission have presented a bold new research strategy, aimed at collecting large units of data at once from an enclosed population. By combining a labourer barracks and worksite into one 'Special Access Zone', we can completely restrict their movement and allow the LMRD to observe them as they work.
|
|
 Special Access Zones
Nothing enters and nothing leaves. Whatever happens inside, no pony knows for certains and, in all likelihood, it's better to not ask. Especially when the LMRD is involved.
|
The Velvet Glove
To even deny one part of our population the benevolence of the Nightmare's sacred reign is sowing the seeds of our own destruction. We cannot allow the Native Affairs Commission to continue in its current state and we must examine our treatment of the labourers. We must follow our Empress' example, we must improve.
|
|
|
Mandatory Moonday Attendance
The Labourers had always been given the option to attend services at our temples, for faith is something that cannot be forced. By making temple attendance mandatory, we aim to provide them with a spiritual outlet and provide a dedicated day of rest in their week of labour. It is our hope that in time the exposure to the temple and holy word will passively convert many.
|
|
|
Limit Physical Punishment
The whip is a tool of weaker ponies, we will be smarter and stronger than that. The overseers of our Labourers must be held to the same standard as any other citizen of Chiropterra. By limiting their legal ability to inflict physical punishment, we predict a sharp decline in cases of Labourers perishing in hostile working conditions.
|
|
|
Labourer Lodgings Improvement
Home is where the heart is and if one's home is two sheets of tin without running water, one's heart is not going to be its work. It is only logical that we provide basic living conditions to our labourers, for they are not slaves; only wayward souls we are attempting to save.
|
|
|
Loyalty Shall Be Rewarded
For those that work without incident and are faithful to Nightmare Moon, why not allow them luxuries? There is no reason to deny a labourer access to books or a permit to reward hard labour? Why not even grant those that push past their quotas a chance to keep what they earn for profit? There are many reforms we will make and all will reward the loyal.
|
|
|
The One Generation Rule
A child shall not be punished for the sins of their father, is that not what the Moonspeakers say? We will adapt our laws and allow the children of Labourers who convert to the true word of the goddess to be equal citizens in one generation, instead of two. If their parents are truly faithful, so too will their children be!
|
|
 The One Generation Rule
The implementation of benefits allows us to push the locals to embrace our faith at a quicker pace.
The One Generation Rule
As established by the new laws, we have accelerated our efforts to integrate the local population, granting Citizenships after one single generation after conversion.
|
|
Additional Labourer Procurement
Raids are violent and prone to failure, but they are not the only way to procure labourers. Our agents will begin operations to direct refugee ships towards our waters or even find those desperate enough to volunteer for a new life in the mythical Chiropterra for the Nightmare.
|
|
|
No Place For Cruelty
Cruelty is inefficient. It is an emotional and wasteful expression of weaker ponies and their false ideologies. We must embrace this fact. We shall enable those who enforce our law better means to control our population through more benevolent means under the philosophy of the carrot and the stick.
|
|
|
Harsh Yet Fair
We will look to reform our justice system, but in doing this our laws will be harsher. All the same, they will be much more fair. No pony is above the laws of the Nightmare, no one sentient creature will stand above others. Justice is blind, but the Nightmare is not!
|
|
|
Freedom Through Service
Service guarantees citizenship! Labourers of Chiropterra rejoice! All who serve for their committed time in the Legions of Nightmare Moon will be granted their freedom at the end of their term. Those who are wounded or medically discharged with honors will be placed in auxiliary battalions, but are still eligible. Are you doing your part for a better future?
|
|
|
The Underground Economy
Let us not pretend that there is an economy in the world that runs beneath the shadows of every state. As children of the darkness, we will thrive in it. Our agents shall expand our connections into these illegal markets and shell corporations to greatly increase our assets.
|
|
|
Gray Market Contacts
As we press into the underground economy, we shall enjoy the fruits of our labours. Several shipping companies from Haukland and Skyfall shall begin to loose shipments in international waters along the coast of Saddle Arabia, but their shared insurance conglomerate Lunar Protections will always reimburse them handsomely.
|
|
|
Luxuries For the Masses
As our economy becomes more and more efficient, our experts have found startling accounts of surplus and excess. We are out producing our projections for the next century, meaning that we can afford to shower our ponies with commercial goods and luxuries.
|
|
|
|
The Poppies Of Love
Praise be to Nightmare Moon and the bounties of her harvest. Chiropterra is a harsh environment, even by Zebrican standards. This however does not stop the cultivation of our crops, including that of the poppy plant. We can extract valuable medicine from the poppy plant such as morphine, but we also must acknowledge its volatile recreational purposes...
|
|
|
Drown Their Markets
While our own ponies will benefit from the sale and cultivation of the poppy plant, we shall drown our enemies in cheap, dangerous opioids. Our goal is not profit, but proliferation. We shall sink the claws of addiction and strife deep into our enemy's most vulnerable and spread like a disease from them.
|
|
|
|
Shell Company Procurements
Our contacts in the grey markets have solidified different sectors of control. Sanctioning a few small squads of infiltrators, we shall secure the last few signatures' we need to gain full control of several different companies. Through these our reach will be greater and even more hidden.
|
|
|
Equestrian Academic Extraction
Several Equestrian academics are researching different projects that interest us. By staging several honeypot operations and the occasional disappearance we can siphon off the best and brightest of our heretical enemies with them being none the wiser.
|
|
|
The Colossus
Through the use of vacuum tubes and other electronic marvels, we can develop an electronic machine that can compute certain equations and ciphers for us! Our leading electronics experts predict massive leaps and bounds in processing ability and power with newer models of the Colossus as well!
|
|
|
|
Bolster Military Production
More factories means more guns. More guns means more soldiers. The math here is rather simple, but we will have to commit time to consolidate our national assets to refocus on military production. Once we pool our resources, we will be able to enjoy the benefit of more factories, which means more guns...et cetera, et cetera.
|
|
|
Coal Liquefaction
CTL or Coal to Liquid Fuels is a process in which coal is, rather obviously, converted into fuel. Although this method of synthesis has been around for several years, we have yet to fully invest in the ingenuity of the idea. By embracing this new method of accessing critical fuels, we can bolster our reserves.
|
|
|
Mining Mechanisation
A machine can two twice the work of an average pony, save for a few anomalous earth ponies among our miners. Be that as it may, by mechanizing our mines we can extract more, dig deeper, and enjoy a much larger return from them.
|
|
|
Coconut Crab Ranching
The Coconut Crab is the largest land animal with an exoskeleton that does not use magical means for its survival. These large creatures were common in Chiropterra and have been hunted for centuries for their meat, nearly to the point of extinction. By expanding our protection of the crabs and allocating many more to sanctioned ranches, we can cultivate them safely.
|
|
|
Improve Inter-District Infrastructure
It is time we examine the state of our roads between districts, meaning that we must take drastic steps to improve infrastructure throughout our country. By building onto existing railroads and roads, we can create a comprehensive Inter-District travel network that enables mobility of our citizens but also critical logistics.
|
|
|
Academic Modernisation
The universities of Yale or the School of Magic in Equestria will have nothing on our academies, once we finish modernizing them of course. It is no secret that our isolation forces us to be creative, but it also hobbles our ability to stay ahead of the curve academically. By granting more funding to our institutions of higher learning, we can benefit from their knowledge.
|
|
|
Inter-District Medical Network
By expanding state control of hospitals and other medical facilities, we can ensure they are staffed by properly trained doctors with the most modern equipment possible. Any citizen or labourer in need of medical attention will receive it in new, start of the art facilities. The health of our ponies is the health of our nation.
|
|
 Inter-District Medical Network
Strengthening our medical services will make sure that every Citizen receives proper treatment as required.
|
|
Diversify and Specialize
Diversification is the process of allocating capital in a way that reduces the exposure to any one particular asset or risk. Or while specialization is the allocation of capital into one particular asset for the greatest reward. We will find the balance between both with our new Industrial Fund, dedicated to allocating grants to different parts of our economy.
|
|
 Industrial Development Fund
Considerable funds are now being shifted to our industrial sector, providing much-needed liquidity for the expansion of our industrial capacity.
|
Turn Back the Clock
Although our efforts in Equus have failed, we are still a minute from midnight! While the heretical sun may have driven us back into the shadows, around us are a great many rich and fertile lands. It is time, for the future of Chiropterra, that we look to the world that is immediately around us; Zebrica.
|
|
|
Prepare the Second Great Conquest
As we pivot away from reclaiming Equestria for our goddess, we must lay the seeds of our success on Zebrica. We cannot forget why we are taking the steps in this great crusade, not for greed or gold; but for our goddess alone! The Nightmare needs us to secure these lands from the profligates and heretics, for only we can use its bounty for her righteous cause!
|
|
|
Strike Down the Savages
The time has come for our strength to be shown to these heretics! Tobuck and Zarantia are lands without order and without faith, ruled by petty despots and barely worthy to be considered nations. We shall not underestimate the conniving warlords and their armies however. We shall treat them as if they were our greatest enemies, we shall pour our hearts and souls into this war! For the Legion! For the Nightmare!
|
|
|
Form the Imperial Frontier Forces
Our Legions dominate our enemies on the field of battle, but when a war ends; what then? When our first ancestors carved out modern day Chiropterra from the natives that sullied her soil, they formed dedicated units to keep the peace. We shall follow the lessons of this history and form our own Frontier Corps to serve, protect, and ensure the loyalty of our new territories.
|
|
 Imperial Frontier Forces
Inspired by venerable tradition, the IFF secures our newly conquered territories with skill and aplomb.
|
Woe To the Vanquished
The rogue warlords of the desert have been captured by our forces, now all that matters is to decide what to do with them. While there have been talks of simply executing the lot of them, the Legionary Council has met to decide their fate. The debate is expected to take several sessions and require many interrogations, but the Nightmare is a just mistress; so we shall follow her example.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
Reorganise the Eastern Territories
With the warlords dealt with, the resistance crushed, and the civilians pacified; we have done what none of the petty despots of the natives could...secured Tobuck. Now that our invasion is over we must no longer be conquerors; but rather protectors. Tobuck is our territory now, it is the territory of Nightmare Moon, and a valued part of her empire. We will not let it fall into disarray again.
|
|
|
The Enemy Of My Enemy...
Whoever rules over Colthage matters little to us at this time. Despite their status as heretics with a maddening polytheistic pantheon, they have use to us as potential allies. The Hippogriffs are an imposing force and a danger to our great expansion. Much like how our ancestors fought in the Legions of old, we need somepony alongside us against the enemy.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Assist the Colthaginians
The Colthaginians are fighting with equipment captured from the Yetis and antiques carried by their fathers, it is time we enlighten them to the true power of the modern age; machine guns, rifles, and whatever else we can spare will be given to our fair weather friends in the hopes of granting them a fighting chance in the struggle ahead.
|
|
|
Cast the Die
Warzena lies just to our east and barely stands on a single leg. The Zebra nation will be enlightened to our righteous cause and we shall join them in our pact, but this cannot be done with the Hippogriffs hanging over their shoulder; whispering false notions of 'harmony' to them. We shall make our demands known and if the Hippogriffs dare stand against us? So be it.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Operation Spit Roast
War! The Hippogriffs have made their intentions clear and justified our operations! While the battles rage across Zebrica, we must coordinate with our ally to the East! Coordinated offensives from both sides will disorient and weaken our foe. Peace will only come when Chiropterrans and Colthaginians stand shoulder to shoulder against the great, harmonic menace! Forward, to victory!
|
|
 Operation Spit Roast
Simultaneous offensives are been coordinated with our allies. With some luck, they will push the Hippogriff lines to the absolute breaking point.
|
Push the Hippogriffs Back Into the Sea
Stand firm! The Hippogriffs once thought that their strength would drive us into the sea? The Nightmare laughs at their insolence, for now we turn to face them with all our might! Greater enemies have died by our hooves and greater enemies shall fall in our future! These Hippogriffs shall be driven back into the sea!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Sway The Old Guard
The conquest of new lands does not mend the failures of Operation Moonshine. The old families speak of the Legionary Council simply trying to mend their failure with smaller gains. Their impudence needs to change. Lord Commander Autumn Breeze will host a gala at his plantation, the Council hopes the patriarch of Clan Reed can sway his fellow aristocracy back in line.
|
|
|
Embrace State Capitalism
The competition that capitalism breeds weeds out the weak and unsustainable businesses, but sometimes a guiding hoof is needed to ensure that the country's economy charges forward without the meddling of businessponies. Our economy shall sustain itself, we shall not hide it any longer! While we may not offer the same stock options, we can certainly guarantee that the state's businesses are too big to fail.
|
|
|
Reorganise the Agricultural Sector
Our agricultural sector has been weakened by the strain of war. Each success and each failure consumes valuable ponypower and supplies, hemorrhaging our food supplies over time. By mechanizing our farms the same way we have some of our military divisions, we can not only free up more bodies for the industrial sector or front; but also increase our available food supply!
|
|
Local Ponypower: +5% Monthly Population: +10%
|
The Chiropterran Development Fund
By expanding our allocations to the industrial sector with a larger development fund, we are investing in our future success! Although it may harm us financially now, by pouring money into greater industrial research and companies we can improve the compliance and effectiveness of industry at all levels.
|
|
|
The Military Industrial Complex
The industry required to sustain our massive military build-up can only be met by greater government subsidies. To keep our military top of the line, we embrace this wedding of assets against the critics who warn of tying our commercial sector even more to the military. The contracts we grant though will diversify the research opportunities before us.
|
|
|
Labourer Leasing
Although Labourers belong to the state, sometimes there are simply too many for the state to use on all projects. Because we have an overflow of labourers, it only makes sense that we allow what few foreign companies on our soil and local businesses to lease this free labour from us...at a reasonable tax of course.
|
|
 The Native Affairs Commission
While this National Spirit is active we will be able to Raid our neighbours for  Labourers which can then be used for various Projects-------------- The truth of the matter is not all ponies can be persuaded to abandon their gods, their cultures or their beliefs; unfortunately for them they are soon taken in by the Native Affairs Commission, which in turn is tasked with finding an appropriate role for them - In the vain hopes that their pitiful existence will in some manner assist in the betterment of Chiropterra.
|
|
Hearts and Minds
Operation Moonshine failed, but Chiropterra hasn't! Recent battles have given our propaganda machine all the film, features, and pictures needed to drum up its messaging for the first time in centuries. We do not have to look to our ancestors alone for heroes any more, as there are living legends among us now! Crowds line up at recruiting offices after newsreels show our brave Legionnaires on the front.
|
|
Hearts And Minds Campaign
A massive propaganda campaign is underway, its sole purpose the strengthening the state by highlighting the most recent successes against our enemies. Soon, our Citizens will have much to be proud of.
Our people long for the moment when they will finally return home, to restore the Nightmare to Her rightful place. Until that time comes, however, they will direct every ounce of their energy to achieve that goal.
|
Expand Local Civilian Governments
The Legionary Council might act as our supreme authority, but it would be foolish to have them weigh in on local district disputes and the laws of small towns. By expanding the power of our local government officials, we can encourage greater participation in government while expanding our power simultaneously!
|
|
Hearts And Minds Campaign
A massive propaganda campaign is underway, its sole purpose the strengthening the state by highlighting the most recent successes against our enemies. Soon, our Citizens will have much to be proud of.
Our people long for the moment when they will finally return home, to restore the Nightmare to Her rightful place. Until that time comes, however, they will direct every ounce of their energy to achieve that goal.
|
The Thousand Year Struggle
It has taken time and effort to remind our people of our duty. One cannot blame them for losing faith, for they struggled for a thousand years preparing for their triumph. As one generation passes onto the next though, we have rekindled the flames of patriotism within them all. The first great steps on another thousand year struggle have been made and they all take pride in being at its forefront.
|
|
The Nightmare Bless Chiropterra
Our soldiers march proud into battle, knowing that the Nightmare watches over them as they deliver retribution against Her enemies. Chiropterra as a whole stand behind the Nightmare, now and forever.
|
New Settlement Initiative
As we expand our territory east, we also must consider the uncultivated land already within our territory. With increased automation and infrastructure, its feasible to settle even the most desolate parts of Chiropterra. This new initiative will encourage our people to settle in these new townships and enjoy the comforts of modernity there.
|
|
|
Expand the Hoof's Operations
The Hoof of the Nightmare must grow as we have. While our traditional intelligence agency has been with us since our first landings, there have been few innovations in their conduct of operations on domestic soil. While they remained on the bleeding edge of foreign espionage, by granting them greater power in Chiropterra itself we can expand their support of the state here.
|
|
 The Invisible State
Hidden in the shadows, the eyes of night are vigilant against the enemies of our state, especially the wretched pawns of the false light. The lives of our subjects are open to us; we know their affairs, their loves, their frustrations with us. Conversely, we remain watchful of the affairs of our adversaries, who are blind and helpless without the effete machinations of their precious daytime. We are silent, but we know, for we are everywhere.
|
Form the Youth Service Corps
The Nightmare does not need to inspire the loyalty of the faithful, for they are already in her embrace. She must enkindle the love of the foals to ensure that the future is in her name. The establishment of the Youth Service Corps will lead to the betterment of our young ponies and inspire future generations of loyal, dependable, and honest Chiropterrans.
|
|
 Youth Service Corps
Efforts are now directed to inspire the next generations of Chiropterran Citizens, especially from a very young age. All must do their part.
|
The War At Sea
The largest border Chiropterra has is with the ocean, meaning that we must have a capable navy to defend ourselves with. By reviewing our current doctrine and comparing it with other developments from our own experiences and that of others, we can expand our naval knowledge far beyond our current capabilities. What took others years will only take us months, for the Nightmare guides us with her shadow!
|
|
|
Shipyard Expansion Scheme
While we are guided by the Nightmare, we also must be aware of our capabilities. The shipyards of Chiropterra will be modernized to not only rival that of our enemies, but surpass them! Our ships shall be remembered for centuries and their legacy will rule the waves! In due time, the weight of our naval power shall crash against our true enemy! For now we will sharpen our fangs on the prey we find around us.
|
|
|
The Seawind MKII
Effective, hard to detect, and dangerous; it is easy to see why the Legionary Council has favored the development of the submarine. Our current hulls are out of date and if we wish to have our wolfpacks be the most dangerous in the sea, we will have to give them the tools to be successful!
|
|
|
The Moonfire MKII
Cheap, maneuverable, and swift; it is also easy to see why the Council favors this surface ship. Although not as effective at raiding as our submarines, our destroyers are ancient in comparison to that of our enemies. New hulls and new guns mounted on them will make our surface fleet stronger. It is wiser to start at the ground up for retrofits with the support ships rather than starting with the battleships after all.
|
|
|
Fuel Conservation Initiative
As we improve our naval capabilities, we will also need to allocate a greater stockpile of fuel to the surface and submarine fleets. Although this is a daunting task, it has a simple solution; expand the reserves. By constructing additional fuel silos, we can increase our total storage capacity ensuring an availability of fuel during long term operations.
|
|
 Naval Fuel Conservation
New fuel silos have been established to guarantee a constant supply of fuel for our vessels.
|
Form the Imperial Marine Corps
Our enemies shall be placed under siege! Under lockdown! The Nightmare's Imperial Marines will storm their ranches, homes, and liberate them from the heels of their masters! Our marines are merciless, dangerous, well-oiled machines that will land on their shores without warning.
|
|
|
Supply Line Disruption Tactics
We cannot match the operation range of our surface fleet with that of our enemies, therefore we shall dedicate most of our efforts to our reliable raiding groups. While the waters around Chiropterra shall be secured, we shall cause havoc upon the enemy wherever their ships sail in the ocean! Their will be no escape from our hunt!
|
|
 Supply Line Disruption Tactics
We are shifting our focus away from direct engagement of enemy fleets, aiming to strike their vulnerable maritime supply and trade routes instead.
|
Long Distance Operations
Our surface fleet needs to go past our shores, to be able to meet the enemy anywhere they are found. While we cannot simply take over every island between here and Equestria to build up a series of naval bases, we can instead focus on improving our doctrine with the capabilities we have to greater expand the flexibility of our operations.
|
|
 Long Distance Operations
Our fleets can now operate well beyond their previously established range. The efficacy of our amphibious operations has certainly improved.
|
Examine What Went Wrong
We have failed to bring the Eternal Night and Nightmare Moon remains lost to us, but we cannot give up hope! We must think back to our ancestors when they first arrived on these shores, we must follow in their example and lay the groundwork for the next war. Even if it must be in another thousand years.
|
|
|
|
Welcome the New Exiles
With the failure of Operation Moonshine, we must arrange for a withdrawal of significant assets from Equestria. There is a silver lining in that the officers we embedded into the Equestrian military can now return to us with their experiences and sympathizers.
|
|
|
Auxiliary Combat Role Training
Our Auxiliaries cannot be wasted on menial tasks anymore! Some of our most loyal units comprise of Auxiliary forces, therefore we must integrate them wholly into the Legions. Separate support companies mixed in with regular troops will give our frontline units greater flexibility.
|
|
|
Adapt the Luna Nova
Magical rifles are a novelty. Unreliable perhaps, but their efficacy cannot be denied. Gone are the times when only unicorns could launch devastating spells against their enemies. Through a more widespread adoption of such weapons, our forces will be capable of punching well above their weight.
|
|
|
Her Imperial Majesty's Legionary Ranger Corps
We must develop a dedicated light infantry corps to better improve the lethality of our divisions. It is with this course of action that we open our first 'Ranger' school in the Howling Mountains region. We shall test candidates' mental, physical, and martial prowess in order to form a specialized ranger corps that can be integrated with our main infantry units.
|
|
Hills: Attack: +5% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Marines: Hills: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Mountaineers: Hills: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Paratroopers: Hills: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10%
|
|
Equipment Modernisation
The world around us is rapidly evolving with major technological advancements made in a matter of months rather than years. We cannot afford to fall behind. It is too costly and time consuming to consistently rely on espionage to acquire new equipment for us to copy, so we must subsidize our own researchers to improve upon our own equipment.
|
|
|
Legacy of the Shadowbolts
The Shadowbolts were a dedicated flying formation from the first coming of Nightmare Moon known for their ferocity in the skies! Their night flying is legendary and their accomplishments in the skies even greater! We shall look to their memory as we develop our flying corps capabilities, our new planes and doctrine will echo their legacy!
|
|
|
Combined Arms Tactics
The use of combined arms represents the future of warfare. Coordinated assaults of infantry, artillery, and armor to destroy the enemy in quick, decisive attacks will win us our next war. Gone are the days of wasteful tactics and mass infantry attacks without proper support, this new doctrine will pave the way to victory with overwhelming firepower.
|
|
|
Strategic Destruction
In war we are not just fighting military forces anymore, we are fighting nations. Every city is an asset, every civilian in it a labourer for their war effort. Some on the Council might not approve of this new approach to warfare, but we must strike at all assets of the enemy in order to end a war as quickly as possible by bombing the enemy into absolute submission.
|
|
|
The Imperial Strategic Petroleum Reserve
We are a small nation and our resources can easily be stretched thin in a prolonged conflict, why even our economy now is reliant upon fuel. Our limited contact with the world at large means that we cannot so easily acquire it either. By opening a series of synthetic plants and establishing a means to store vast quantities of oil for long periods of time, we can prepare a vast reserve for military use.
|
|
 Imperial Strategic Petroleum Reserve
A new initiative has started to assure that, even in the harshest times of war, our nation can count on a substantial fuel reserve for our armed forces.
|
|
Legionary Mechanisation
There is a tribe of warriors on Zebrica that can march fifty miles a day and still fight, but they are only carrying spears and shields. A modern soldier carries much more and his support unit's wagons. We must fully motorize our military so that we can move a hundred and fifty miles a day and fight with the full force of our modern Legions!
|
|
|
Armoured Trains
Railways are the backbone of our logistics no matter the amount of trucks we may have. It is important that we provide this critical asset of military infrastructure with the means to defend itself. By implementing the use of armored trains, we cannot only improve the defense of our logistics but also some units dedicated to protecting railways to be used elsewhere.
|
|
Global Stats: Org. Loss when Moving: -5% Reinforce Rate: +5%
|
|
Strategy in Depth
Tactics are the plans at the smallest unit level and strategy is at the highest, but their overall goals must align for success. Our strategic mission in any military campaign or operation must be clear so that commanders on all levels understand its intent.
|
|
|
|
Legionary Logistics Corp
An army marches on its stomach, or so the saying goes. With the adoption of vehicles, modern weapons, and other tools of warfare; an army marches on its stomach and fights with whatever the motor pool can provide. Our improved Logistics Corps shall ensure that our army has whatever it needs wherever it needs it.
|
|
 Legionary Logistics Corp
A new focus is being directed on the gathering and management of supplies, especially in preparation of new campaigns. Our troops will receive their equipment without delay.
|
|
Joint Chiefs of Staff
Only a fool would have different branches of our military compete with one another for supplies or resources, but we are limited in who we can provide with what. By adopting a Joint Chiefs of Staff to inform the Legionary Council of the different branches' needs, we can better organize and coordinate their efforts with the goal of the state.
|
|
 Joint Chiefs of Staff
Our forces can now better coordinate during large scale operations. Superior planning will make up for our fewer numbers.
|
Psychological Warfare
All soldiers are susceptible to manipulation, even our own. While our propaganda will remind the Legions what they are fighting for, we shall invest heavily into our own efforts to undermine our enemy's will to fight. It is useless to resist the will of Nightmare Moon and we are her chosen ponies. If the pamphlets do not convince them, the speaker systems will.
|
|
|
The LMRD Chemical Department
A detachment of LMRD scientists will oversee the training of the first and all future members of the Legion's Chemical Corps. These soldiers will be specialized in utilizing advances in 'tactical use' chemicals such as gas, white phosphorus, and herbicides across all branches of our military while also acting to counter any use of chemical weapons by our enemy.
|
|
Command Power Cost: - Base cost: 0.25 (each for 1 battalion) Duration: 7 days Cooldown: 20 days Division Attrition: +25.0% Unit Upkeep: +25% Add following effects to the armies for 4 days - Offense: 50.0% - Defense: 75.0% - Breakthrough: 5.0% - Organization Damage Taken: 100.0% - Strength Damage Taken: 60.0%
|
|
Destruction From Afar
Every life of a Legionnaire is sacred in the eyes of our great goddess. We cannot afford to spend them in her honor with wasteful assaults or risky maneuver tactics taken from heretical bugs. We instead will embrace a doctrine over overwhelming and superior firepower. It is our hope that once our artillery is done with a position that the infantry will simply have to sweep the enemy out of the crater.
|
|
|
Operational Integrity
Gone are the days when generals commanded nearly every aspect of a battle. Instead, our commanders will now pass on their plans and intent to subordinates. Those subordinates will do the same down the chain of command. At each level the officers will be able to pursue their own means to completing their respective objectives with disciplined initiative.
|
|
 Legionary Operational Integrity
The Legions' commanders can now count on considerable autonomy regarding how to conduct their forces in the field.
|
Concentrated Fire
The harder the fighting and the longer the war, the more the Legions lean on its gunners. Our artillery is the King of battle fit for our Holy Empress. We must ensure that the tools of our gunners are reliable as they are on the field of battle. Our Moonspeakers shall bless their shells and our ordnance shall rain the Nightmare's righteous fury from them.
|
|
 Concentrated Firepower Doctrine
Artillery can only be truly effective once the fire is focused on specific targets, rather than the entire line. Our crews have been trained to perform in conjunction with other batteries so to maximize destruction.
|
The Batton Plan
General Batton's insistence on a flexible, mobile army has lead to his personal development of a new doctrine for the Legions. Hoofcrafted, the 'Batton Plan' copies much from the Changeling school of warfare, but makes modifications that focus on the sustainability of maneuver warfare. If we were to fully commit to this plan, Batton insists our force could be entirely motorized in a matter of years.
|
|
|
Adapt Stalliongradian Blueprints
The godless heathens in Stalliongrad do not make the best tanks, but they are easy to manufacture and replace. They are also receptive to bribes and are more then willing to lose a few...examples. By adopting the Stalliongrad designs and doctrine, we will gain from the benefit their tanks offer; ease of manufacturing, utility, and numerical superiority.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
The Stanchion
The Stanchion is a modern anti-tank rifle that gives its user the power of an anti-tank gun in the power of their hooves. Early trials are promising with live fire demonstrations coming in a matter of months. The ammunition the tank weapon uses can be altered as well depending on the range, target, or environment; all around a promising and unique weapon for our Legions' arsenals.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
Material Standardisation
We adopted Stalliongradian tanks because of their easily replaceable parts, why not extend this idea to all of our military? By ensuring that reliability and ease of repair is uniform for all our materials, it will become easier to maintain our Legion's lethality during protracted conflicts.
|
|
 Calibrated Tank Part Production
Focusing on reliability for our vehicles, we can now field even greater numbers of them. This will grant us an edge in protracted conflicts.
|
Breakthrough Tactics
Our lighter tanks exceed our expectations with maneuverability, but they do not meet our needs to overcome deeply entrenched enemy positions. Sometimes one cannot simply drive around the enemy, therefore we must invest in developing a heavier model of tank that can drive through the enemy.
|
|
 Breakthrough Tactics
Our tanks must act as a battering ram, driving through and past our foes with merciless efficiency, opening corridor of attack that our mobile columns can fully exploits.
|
|
All the Little Ponies
The average machine gun fires hundreds of rounds per minute, but every enemy machine gun has a finite amount of ammo and a limited field of fire. With the blessings of the Nightmare, we cannot fail in overcoming this mortal obstacle. If it fires hundreds of rounds, we shall send thousands of ponies! We will crash upon our enemy like a wave in concentrated assaults!
|
|
|
|
Stormtrooper Tactics
The Griffonian heretics and their meagre empire have developed an interesting infantry doctrine around 'Infiltration Tactics' and 'Stormtroopers'. By allowing small detachments of our soldiers to survey and attack weak points in the enemy line, we can breakthrough where the enemy least expects us; just like the Stormtroopers of the Griffon Empire.
|
|
 Stormpony Tactics
Taking inspiration from the griffons' methods of warfare, special assault sections have been created to punch through enemy lines and cut off stubborn strongpoints.
|
|
Redemptionary Brigades
Deserters, traitors, labourers, and any other dissidents who are willing to repent their sins shall be given the chance to find redemption through service in these special brigades. It might be cruel, but it is far more efficient to use them as a moving, fighting shield for our other units rather than simply execute them for their crimes.
|
|
 Redemptionary Brigades
It does not matter what their crimes were; if they are willing to fight and die for the Nightmare, there can still be forgiveness for them.
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
The LMRD Alchemical Department
Methamphetamine hydrochloride when mixed with shamanistic positions creates a potent combat enhancement that keeps soldiers alert without the risk of a crash after. We shall encourage our soldiers to consume these enhancements and monitor their effects. These enhancements will be distributed to units in laced gum, chocolates, and tablets for consumption.
|
|
Allows the use of the Last Stand and Force Attack Command Abilities at a greatly reduced cost.
|
The Bits Gun
Although the Bits gun might look strange and according to reports nearly impossible to carry comfortably, our wayward enemies in Equestria have created a reliable weapon suited for all types of environments. An internal compartment inside the receiver prevents the submachine gun from jamming even after dipped in mud or sand. Even its odd placement of the magazine holds a pragmatic purpose; we must have it for ourselves.
|
|
 Calibrated Rifle Production
Through some careful regulations and guidelines, we can now produce weapons for our infantry in even greater numbers.
|
Her Imperial Majesty's Sappers
With the integration of Auxiliary units into combat roles, we can train our engineers to serve a greater purpose in combat. Taken from the Aquileian tradition, our sappers will act as our frontline combat engineers. No matter the danger, the obstacle, or the mission; our sappers will clear a path for our Empress' blessed Legions!
|
|
Reconnaissance: +1.0 Breakthrough: +1.0
|
The Chiropterran Commonwealth
To the victor, the spoils! We have achieved our goals! Our Second Great Conquest has crushed the armies of our enemies. No organized military, no singular nation that we opposed remains standing to fight us. We shall declare our Commonwealth of nations under the Chiropterran banner, for together we shall achieve the ultimate victory in the generations to come!
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
| |
The LeHay Reforms
General LeHay has plans to reform the Air Force into its own independent branch of the military that would be able to win wars on its own. His plans, among other ideas, call for the introduction of large bombers that can devastate cities and an expanded R & D department to ensure the Chiropterran Air Force is the most advanced in the world.
|
|
|
Aerial Logistics Department
As the military expands its capabilities certain challenges have arisen. Among them is the Army's inability to effectively supply their faster moving offensive units and troops stationed outside of the existing supply lines. A new department has been created within the Air Force, composed of purpose-built transport planes, that will supply our far-off troops from the air at a relatively fast pace.
|
|
Aerial Logistics Department
LeHay has begun implementing his reform program, granting our forces much needed flexibility and some autonomy from rigid and vulnerable supply lines.
|
Intercontinental Operations
Thanks to recently increased funds the first batch of our newly designed strategic bombers have been produced. These planes have the potential to win wars on their own if used efficiently and in large numbers. Now it is up to our pilots to develop new tactics for these war machines.
|
|
Imperial Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Vast quantities of fuel have been set aside for emergency use. They will grant us some autonomy in case of conflict.
|
Nuclear Capabilities
The R & D department, together with some of our nation's top scientists and engineers, has made a momentous discovery. A bomb that is capable of vanquishing cities with a single use. With this device in our inventory the might of Chiropterra will be known to all. Some time and funds are required to finalise the plans to build our first atomic bomb.
|
|
|
North Zebrican Resource Allocation Department
As our borders have been greatly expanded in the wake of our victory, we must look to the just redistribution of North Zebrica's vast resources across the Commonwealth. The shambles of nation states that once held this territory were unable to use the bounty beneath them. It is our holy duty to the Nightmare, to allocate these new assets for the betterment of the Commonwealth as a whole.
|
|
|
|
Veteran Land Grants
The lands to the East can hardly be considered loyal territory yet. While we continue to debate what to do with its denizens, we can guarantee a perfectly loyal group by allocating significant portions of the territories to veteran plantations. Not only will this prove to be a boon to our economy, it will reward our former soldiers and plant true citizens of Chiropterra across the Commonwealth.
|
|
|
|
Legionary Settlement Defence Force
While our pacification brigades are an excellent tool in our arsenal for dealing with stubborn resistance, even our military cannot be everywhere at once. Among loyalists and veterans across the Commonwealth's new territories, we shall empower them to form defensive militias in their towns to combat insurgent forces. This will put much needed pressure onto rebel groups with little cost.
|
|
Imperial Frontier Forces
As our conquests continue, the IFF expands accordingly to meet ever increasing demands through the integration of local collaborators and settler militias.
|
Industrial Relocation Office
The once...'prosperous' centers of industry in in Tobuck and Warzena were suited for their needs, not that of the Commonwealth. While many locals have protested the decision, it is only logical we relocate these assets where we see fit. These are no longer the factories of corrupt businessponies and warlords, but the means to a greater purpose under Nightmare Moon.
|
|
While this occupation law is active on a state you may use the Relocate Industry State Modifier:
Local Resources: -50%
Resistance Target: +50%
Required Garrisons: +50%
Daily Compliance Gain: -0.025%
No Compliance Gain: Yes
|
|
Economic Cartelisation
Our economy, while made to support our war efforts, must be adapted to allow us to accomplish our goals over a greater period of time. To do this, we will embrace the concept of 'Cartelisation' where state owned industries shall dominate their sector of specialization. This will let small businesses prosper while we bend the markets completely to us.
|
|
|
Counter-Terrorism Operations
Fighting a uniformed enemy is far easier than fighting a scattered insurgency, but there are many avenues open to us in this regard. The road ahead is dangerous though, failures in containing these threats do not only mean losses today; but losses for decades to come. An insurgency must be dealt with effectively and expediently.
|
|
 Commonwealth Security Office
Dealing with the resistance might necessitate a decentralized approach, but a central authority is required to identify which targets to strike and which of our assets are more vulnerable to enemy actions.
|
Search And Destroy
The obscene cost of building a network of overlapping fortifications is maddening! Therefore, we shall engage the enemy where we find them. While the enemy will retain much of their freedom of movement, anytime they congregate in meaningful numbers they will be crushed with overwhelming firepower.
|
|
|
The Flying Arrow Doctrine
Although far more costly than looking for a fight, the Flying Arrow Doctrine requires a great network of blockhouses and outposts to restrict movement in designated areas. By denying the enemy the freedom of movement from these fixed positions, a mobile quick reaction force will engage any insurgents within these areas once they are spotted.
|
|
|
|
Interservice Cooperation
While fighting an insurgency is much more layered than a conventional war, it does share its similarities. Clear lines of communication and integrated chains of command in areas of operation will enable a singular, shared approach as opposed to multiple disconnected efforts from different agencies and branches.
|
|
|
Civilian Outreach Programs
An insurgency will continue indefinitely if the civilian population does not want you there. While we cannot change hearts and minds overnight, nor cause further harm by isolating civilians in camps...we can reach out to them. By building roads, schools, and integrating ourselves into their lives peacefully we can turn them against the insurgency.
|
|
|
The WLA Question
The Warzenan Liberation Army failed its purpose as a military unit and as a propaganda piece. The collaborators have proven time and time again to be a failure in the eyes of the Commonwealth. As we finalize our efforts in eliminating organized resistance, the WLA is our final decision; what do we do with them?
|
|
|
|
Internment Camps
In an insurgency it is impossible to tell a civilian from an insurgent, so we will no longer attempt to. By rounding up the locals into patrolled and regulated camps, we can let them go about their lives under our watchful eye as we eliminate anyone outside these camps. For if they're outside the camps, clearly they are the enemy.
|
|
|
|
Local Legionary Commissariats
A series of joint civilian-military commissariats shall be established in these zones of occupation to deepen our connection to these new territories with our government in Chiropterra. Overtime these shall be dismantled in favor of more conventional governmental structures once the insurgency is pacified down to a local level.
|
|
For every state with this occupation law we will gain 0.05% File:Counter intelligence.png Intel per day on the North Zebrican Liberation Front, the Anzarawdie or the True Moon Society State Modifier:
Local Ponypower: +5%
Resistance Target: -40%
Required Garrisons: +15%
Daily Compliance Gain: -0.050%
|
|
Fresh Blood
Much of our high command trained for years to prepare for the great war that never came, they trained to storm Canterlot...to fight through the streets of Manehattan. A new generation has arisen in this conflict, one that trained and succeeded in their liberation of North Zebrica. It is time to recognize their achievements!

|
Integration Woes
Our success has come at a less obvious cost. While we have won the war and are dealing with the insurgents, it is clear now that we face another issue entirely; what to do with the civilians in our new territory. Some voices demand immediate enslavement, others suggest that this new influx is an opportunity for change.
|
|
|
A Time Of Change
The Commonwealth is without equal, its ponies shall thrive under the Nightmare's guiding hoof. It is foolish to think that our past could guide us into the future however, for we must change in the face of our victory! Our new population, although misguided, can be brought into the fold as opposed to just being exploited.
|
|
The One Generation Rule
The implementation of benefits allows us to push the locals to embrace our faith at a quicker pace.
|
Trustbuilding Campaign
Our more overzealous soldiers might take it upon themselves to personally limit local villages and towns in the name of the Nightmare following an insurgent attack, but this initiative often leads to numerous dead civilians. We must limit this foolish tendency and replace it with a more unified trust building effort.
|
|
 Trustbuilding Campaign
In order to further cooperation with the natives, and avoiding pushing them into the resistance's embrace, we have instructed our local commanders to avoid unjustified reprisals on the civilians.
|
The Native Homeland Act
We will make no friends nor enlighten anypony if we go around kicking the natives off their land. The Native Homeland Act will ensure that law-abiding ponies of the Commonwealth will be able to enjoy the lands their ancestors have lived on for centuries. It is their land, but it now rests under our law.
|
|
State Modifier:
Damage to Garrisons: -25.00%
Required Garrisons: -60%
Daily Compliance Gain: +0.020%
|
|
The Protected Ponies Initiative
The state is obligated to protect the life of the individual, their property, and their choice of faith...provided of course their loyalty and the acceptance of a higher tax rate. It is an equal exchange that will quell most religious dissidents while also swaying those more susceptible to convert.
|
|
Protected Persons Initiative
Not everybody might embrace the Nightmare but, in order to pacify the native population, we will grant them equal legal status in exchange for their loyalty.
|
Improve Quality Of Life
The lands of Tobuck and Warzena were savage places without even the most basic of modern luxuries. We shall bring electricity, roads, and railways to the ponies of these territories and they shall praise the Nightmare for it! An increase in the quality of life improves anypony's feelings towards us.
|
|
 Quality Of Life Improvements
Violence will only get us so far in dealing with the resistance. We must therefore strive to grant the natives a better alternative, so that they may come to see us in a new light.
|
The Separate And Harmonious Policy
Those who do not worship the Nightmare cannot be forced to under the Protected Ponies Initiative...but that does not mean they can be in the same schools or buildings as the faithful. As long as each facility is equal to its faithful counterpart, there is no reason not to segregate; right?
|
|
Protected Persons Initiative
Our approach is starting to bear fruit. Our Moonspeakers confirm an uptick in conversions, even if many do so just to avoid extra taxation.
|
Support Legionary Brotherhoods
Our veterans, especially those that settle in North Zebrica, deserve a connection to their brothers and sisters in arms. By encouraging the organization of Legionary Brotherhoods across the Commonwealth, we can help foster continue unity in our communities.
|
|
Civilian Service Corps
The presence of Legionary Brotherhood has spread quickly throughout our society. They will carry their martial spirit back into civilian life.
Civilian Service Corps
In times of peace, veterans will help train and organize reserves and auxiliary units, so that they may be integrated quickly into the proper army.
|
Permit Legal Opposition
It has taken many years and many crushed protests for us to finally understand that patriotism is also critique of the Nightmare, not just blind loyalty to her. Legalizing opposition will separate extremists who wish to destroy us and the patriotic who wish to voice complaints peacefully.
|
|
|
A Haven For the Faithful
The failures of Operation Moonshine and the subsequent withdrawal of our assets from Equestria and New Mareland meant that we also had to leave many of the faithful behind. However, with our newly acquired territories we now have more than enough room to welcome them to our shores and make a stronger effort to bring them here!
|
|
|
|
One Nation Under the Nightmare
One nation under the Nightmare, one will, and one people! Our faith and our way are the only way forward into the future. If newly liberated ponies of North Zebrica cannot accept that? Then their children's children will!
|
|
|
Model Lunarist Communities
Our people need living space, a place to call their own in the hostile lands of the East. While we have vanquished their armies and burned their fields, it is time to lay the roots of our future there. By funding expeditions of the faithful to establish settlements in our new lands, we can lay a model of expansion for the future.
|
|
|
Freedom Is A Luxury
The new population of heretics in our Commonwealth must learn that freedom is a luxury bought with faith, family, and service. If they work hard and diligently in our new factories, their grandchildren might have a chance to enjoy proper citizenship.
|

The Native Affairs Commission
While this National Spirit is active we will be able to Raid our neighbours for Labourers which can then be used for various Projects-------------- The truth of the matter is not all ponies can be persuaded to abandon their gods, their cultures or their beliefs; unfortunately for them they are soon taken in by the Native Affairs Commission, which in turn is tasked with finding an appropriate role for them - In the vain hopes that their pitiful existence will in some manner assist in the betterment of Chiropterra.
|
No Foal Left Behind
A child's mind is easy to mold to see the truth of the world. No matter their faith or background, no foal shall go uneducated. They must learn of the Commonwealth's history and the tyrant in Canterlot, they must learn of their supremacy in this world!
|
|
 No Foal Left Behind
Conversion efforts are being directed to foals and fillies as well, through the implementation of an extensive school program.
|
A Society Of Warriors
The purpose of the Commonwealth is to not build a new nation for Nightmare Moon, its purpose is to wage war for her to reclaim her rightful throne! Our purpose in North Zebrica is but a stepping stone in a far greater effort. Our society is made for war, it will always be made of warriors!
|
|
|
|
The Slave States
Some areas will never be fully pacified or enlightened, we must accept this. Therefore certain regions across the Commonwealth will be designated for their purpose as a source of Labourers and centralized areas to utilize their...unique circumstances.
|
|
State Modifier:
Local Resources: +5%
Resistance Target: -50%
Damage to Garrisons: -50.00%
Required Garrisons: -80%
Daily Compliance Gain: 0.250%
|
Respect the Chain Of Command
It never hurts to remind even the loyal citizen of their place in the Commonwealth, there is only one Empress and the Council is her word in this world until she returns again. The Council's decisions cannot be questioned and must not be ignored; for Nightmare Moon!
|
|
|
|
Victory At Last
The time has come! Nightmare Moon has returned to us, and it is time to take up the task of being her vanguard, to reinforce her rule, and make her will known across Zebrica!
|
|
|
Orders From Above
Praise be to the nightmare! Thanks to our loyal service in facilitating the return of Nightmare Moon, we can finally carry out her will properly. She has sent us orders from Equestria on how to go about serving her. All on the Legionary Council eagerly await her words.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
|
Civilian Government Empowerment
The Empress' directive to us specified building up civilian rule in Chiropterra, so we shall abide. Military governors will be removed and replaced with civilian officials, separating the responsibilities of the army and the state from one another.
|
|
Lunar Dominion
With the Nightmare's return, Chiropterra now stand by the Empress's side as Her most faithful servants. Her enemies are our enemies, and the Legions shall fall upon them without mercy.
|
The One Generation Law
At the behest of our Empress, we shall make efforts to expedite the integration of natives into our state. Our new laws shall be this: the children of non-citizens born in Chiropterra, shall become citizens if they can prove that they are sufficiently loyal to the Nightmare.
|
|
The One Generation Rule
The implementation of benefits allows us to push the locals to embrace our faith at a quicker pace.
|
|
Encourage Legionary Brotherhoods
For most of our history, small Brotherhoods of Legionnaires have existed, promoting military service and even charity in some cases. In the past, we often believed these to be breeding grounds for heresy and subversion. But now that the Empress has returned, we can begin to support these organizations without fear, boosting their message of service and loyalty.
|
|
Civilian Service Corps
Not all veterans may be fit for duty any more due to their injuries, but that doesn't mean they cannot serve the state in other less direct ways.
|
Parallel Power Structure
For every province within our nation, there shall be two officials in charge. A civilian leader responsible for civilian matters, and a Legionary officer accountable for the areas defense and the managing of Legionary personal in the area. This shall hopefully make our land both stable and defendable.
|
|
Lunar Dominion
With the Nightmare's return, Chiropterra now stand by the Empress's side as Her most faithful servants. Her enemies are our enemies, and the Legions shall fall upon them without mercy.
|
|
The Chiropterran Development Fund
As we begin strengthening our industrial sector, it is fundamental to concentrate our resources where they'll yield the most results. The projects and blueprints piling on our desk might be limitless, but our resources are not. We must choose wisely what to prioritize.
|
|
|
|
The Military Industrial Complex
The industry required to sustain our massive military build-up can only be met by government subsidies into industry itself. To keep our military top of the line, we embrace this unique balance between industry, research, and government against the critics who warn of tying our commercial assets even deeper with out military forces. With this change, we will be able to research more and choose which projects best suit our force.
|
|
|
|
They Who Speeek For The Nightmare
One of the Empress' more interesting directives was that the office of Chief Moonspeaker should become a civilian post. Lunar Hail, the current holder of this position has agreed to this, but has become conflicted over how to carry it out. She presents the council with two options she is content with: she shall either retire as Legion Commander, or as Chief Moonspeaker.
|
|
|
|
Modernise the Hoof
The Nightmare's Hoof has been instrumental in returning the Empress to her rightful place, but now it's purpose is outdated. It is time to reform it to our new aims while building on its traditions of espionage and subversion. None shall stop the Nightmare's most secretive!
|
|
The Invisible State
Hidden in the shadows, the eyes of night are vigilant against the enemies of our state, especially the wretched pawns of the false light. The lives of our subjects are open to us; we know their affairs, their loves, their frustrations with us. Conversely, we remain watchful of the affairs of our adversaries, who are blind and helpless without the effete machinations of their precious daytime. We are silent, but we know, for we are everywhere.
|
|
A Barrack Beneath the Night Sky
The Continental Imperial army is still a new institution, and other Imperial forces are being reorganized in the name of loyalty and efficiency. That leaves our Legions as the principal military force of the Empress. Therefore it is our duty to export our talents to the entire Lunar world, to ensure The Nightmare has capable defenders.
|
|
Chiropterran Military Advisors
Military advisors have arrived from Chiropterra and are ready to lend their expertise. Our troops will surely much to gain from their experience.
|
|
Form the Imperial Frontier Forces
As we prepare to carry out our sovereign's mission in Zebrica, we must be prepared to keep control of the land we seize in her name. For this, we shall establish the IFF, drawn from all of the Legions, who shall act to quash all resistance to the Nightmare in land taken from the natives and their false rulers.
|
|
Imperial Frontier Forces
Inspired by venerable tradition, the IFF secures our newly conquered territories with skill and aplomb.
|
|
Strike Down the Savages
It is time to begin our conquest in the name of our Empress. She has laid before us two targets to secure valuable resources and population centers. We shall first strike at Tobuck, the state of gun runners, followed by Zarantia, the land of golden deserts. May our goddess bless our mission!
|
|
|
|
Woe To The Vanquished
The victory on our neighbours has been quick and decisive, the Legions routing all opposition with ruthless efficiency. Now, it is time to settle the matter of deciding the fate of both their leaders and their people.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
|
Reorganise the Eastern Territories
The Council has established that our most recent conquests shall be incorporated into Chiropterra proper. As we speak, bureaucratic departments are being marshaled to guarantee a smooth transition, while conversion efforts of the local populace are already well underway. Though resistance is expected, complete integration is a mere matter of time.
|
|
|
The Colthaginian Issue
In another time, the great power of Colthage might have been a worthy ally against the Hippogriffs. The Empress however has other plans. Their lands are plagued by unrest and corruption, so let us strike quickly and mercilessly. Their resources shall be a boon to our war efforts, and we'll establish another front for our inevitable conflict against Aris.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Cast the Dice
It never hurts to test your enemy before the proper fight. The Hippogriffs client state of Warzena lies to our direct north, and conquering it is paramount to open a direct way to assault Aris overseeas territories. If we manage to overwhelm local resistance without too much trouble, the Hippogriffs won't have time to react.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
The Colthaginian Volunteer Army
Colthaginians have long standing grievances against Mount Aris and their so called 'Zumidian Mandate', seeing it for the naked act of imperialism that it is. With some careful propaganda efforts, we've managed to convert to our cause many volunteers, eager to push the Hippogriffs back into the sea. Though it's highly unorthodox, the additional ponypower from those new formations won't hurt.
|
|
The One Generation Rule
Integration efforts are working at full regime, and soon countless new citizens will join our society.
|
|
End Hippogriffia's Dominion
The hour is upon us, the time to finally lay siege to Mount Aris. The Hippogriffs stand against the Nightmare's will, and complete subjugation is the only fate awaiting them. Though they're a formidable opponent, they shall be powerless before our iron discipline and unshakable zeal. Onward! For Chiropterra! For the Nightmare!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
The Chiropterran Admiralty
Power projection through the sea has long been a second thought for Chiropterra, focused as we were in consolidating our control inland. As such, our forces on sea have long suffered due to mismanagement and neglect. No longer. We are Her Majesty bastion in Zebrica, and as such we must reorganize our admiralty and strengthen the chain of command.
|
|
|
|
The Moonfire MKII
Cheap, maneuverable, and swift; it is also easy to see why the Council favors this surface ship. Although not as effective at raiding as our submarines, our destroyers are ancient in comparison to that of our enemies. New hulls and new guns mounted on them will make our surface fleet stronger. It is wiser to start at the ground up for retrofits with the support ships rather than starting with the battleships after all.
|
|
|
The Starchaser MKII
Swift, powerful, and versatile; the Legionary Council has authorized a thorough upgrade of our cruiser fleet, adding a capable and multi-purpose ship to our arsenal. Considerably larger and better armed than a destroyer, the cruiser can fulfill a large specter of roles, making it a core component of our fleet.
|
|
|
|
Form the Imperial Marine Corps
Our enemies shall be placed under siege! Under lockdown! The Nightmare's Imperial Marines will storm their ranches, homes, and liberate them from the heels of their masters! Our marines are merciless, dangerous, well-oiled machines that will land on their shores without warning.
|
|
|
The Nightmare
Slow yet immensely powerful, the Legionary Council has finally authorized the laying of the first battleship hulls. The investment is doubtlessly massive, yet now our fleet can muster a firepower beyond imagination. The Hippogriffs will soon discover with horror that their dominion of the waves is no longer undisputed.
|
|
|
Form The Naval Aviation Department
The Storm King fell in battle when Aris assailed his forces from both the air and the sea. As such, it is clear we cannot allow our fleets to operate alone, but always deploys squadroons of fighters and bombers in combination with our surface vessels, so to deliver a crippling blow well before the enemy comes into range of our guns.
|
|
|
|
The Seawind MKII
Effective, hard to detect, and dangerous; it is easy to see why the Legionary Council has favored the development of the submarine. Our current hulls are out of date and if we wish to have our wolfpacks be the most dangerous in the sea, we will have to give them the tools to be successful!
|
|
|
|
The Empire's Southern Port
We are the Empress's iron bastion in Northern Zebrica. To assure that Her fleets can sail undisturbed and thus guarantee the safety of the Empire, we shall embark on a extensive effort of modernization and expansion of our naval bases and dry docks. These new facilities will maintain the Empire's fleets in perfect condition, ready to fight at any moment.
|
|
|
|
Fuel Conservation Initiative
As we improve our naval capabilities, we will also need to allocate a greater stockpile of fuel to the surface and submarine fleets. Although this is a daunting task, it has a simple solution; expand the reserves. By constructing additional fuel silos, we can increase our total storage capacity ensuring an availability of fuel during long term operations.
|
|
Naval Fuel Conservation
New fuel silos have been established to guarantee a constant supply of fuel for our vessels.
|
|
Supply Line Disruption Tactics
We cannot match the operation range of our surface fleet with that of our enemies, therefore we shall dedicate most of our efforts to our reliable raiding groups. While the waters around Chiropterra shall be secured, we shall cause havoc upon the enemy wherever their ships sail in the ocean! Their will be no escape from our hunt!
|
|
Supply Line Disruption Tactics
We are shifting our focus away from direct engagement of enemy fleets, aiming to strike their vulnerable maritime supply and trade routes instead.
|
|
Long Distance Operations
Our surface fleet needs to go past our shores, to be able to meet the enemy anywhere they are found. While we cannot simply take over every island between here and Equestria to build up a series of naval bases, we can instead focus on improving our doctrine with the capabilities we have to greatly expand the flexibility of our operations.
|
|
Long Distance Operations
Our fleets can now operate well beyond their previously established range. The efficacy of our amphibious operations has certainly improved.
|
|
Open the Markets
Now that our Empress has returned, it is time to once again open up to the world. It will take time and effort to push Chiropterra's economy into the modern age, but this is something we must undergo. No longer will our markets be hidden from sight, we shall emerge as a strong and loyal ally of the Empire!
|
|
|
|
Imperial Experts
With Chiropterra's isolation from the world, we have had to steal industrial secrets from Equestria for years. But now that our Empress rules, she has sent industrial experts to assist in continuing our development and bringing our economy into the future.
|
|
|
|
Imperial-Chiropterran Industrial Cooperation
Through careful negotiation, we've managed to draw the interest of a few Equestrian industrial consortia. They've shown considerable eagerness to establish themselves in New Ayacachtli. This will certainly be a great boost to our industrial capabilities, and all they're asking for in exchange is a cheap workforce. Fortunately, we know exactly where to find it.
|
|
|
|
The Nightmare Express
Admittedly, our railway infrastructure has seen better days and it's in dire need of an overhaul. With the benign conclusion of Moonshine though, we can now allocate resources to such projects, restoring the speedy movement of goods and, most importantly, troops across the whole of Chiropterra.
|
|
|
|
Coal Liquefaction
CTL or Coal to Liquid Fuels is a process in which coal is, rather obviously, converted into fuel. Although this method of synthesis has been around for several years, we have yet to fully invest in the ingenuity of the idea. By embracing this new method of accessing critical fuels, we can bolster our reserves.
|
|
|
|
Mining Mechanisation
A machine can two twice the work of an average pony, save for a few anomalous earth ponies among our miners. Be that as it may, by mechanizing our mines we can extract more, dig deeper, and enjoy a much larger return from them.
|
|
|
|
Subsidise Silver Moon Electronics
The Silver Moon Electronics has been a long-standing firm within Chiropterra and, despite its rather small size, has proven its products' quality again and again. As our industrial apparatus grows, it is only natural to make sure that such company can expand its production capacity through substantial financing from the state.
|
|
|
|
Form The NHS
Up to now, our healthcare services followed a confused and decentralized model, ranging from private doctors and clinics, to village healers. The proposal for a unified entity in this field, the Nightmare Healthcare Service, has reached the Legionary Council for approval. After all, with the task ahead of us, it is fundamental for our Legionnaries and Auxiliaries to be in top shape.
|
|
NHS
Nightmare Healthcare Service has been established. It should provide a reasonable coverage to our population in the matters of public health.
|
|
The New Economic Direction
We don't know what challenges awaits Chiropterra in the future; to better face them, some tweaks and changes in our economic apparatus will need to be implemented. Apparently a few consumers good do wonders in improving civilian morale and there's no reason to remain strict on the subject. We did win, after all.
|
|
|
|
Economic Diversification
The more of resources flowing from the Empire core at the current time allows us to focus our attention on multiple economic projects. Despite the initial temptation of direct them entirely on our military apparatus, the foremost priority is to make sure Chiropterra can stand on its own in the economic field.
|
|
Industrial Development Fund
Considerable funds are now being shifted to our industrial sector, providing much-needed liquidity for the expansion of our industrial capacity.
|
|
Rubber Autarky Initiative
It has come to the Council attention that Chiropterra possesses the necessary elements to give birth to a lucrative rubber extraction industry. As rubber is quickly becoming a necessary material for our growing armed forces, it would be wise to make sure that, when war finally comes, we won't be dependent on an unreliable foreign supply.
|
|
|
|
The Academic Golden Age
Our victory in operation Moonshine has brought some unexpected benefits, as we can now enjoy a flux of fresh and exuberant minds from the Empire's intelligentsia. Soon, branches of renowned Equestrian universities will be opened in New Ayacachtli as per the Nightmare's Will. This will surely be a boom to our R&D departments.
|
|
|
The Single Pegasus Project
Weather manipulation is nothing new for our pegasi, yet an interesting project has made its way from the Manehattan's academia. Through an experimental network of control towers and powerful magic, we can extend our control of the weather to an extent never seen before. The Legionary Council is intrigued, especially for the potential military applications.
|
|
|
Synthetic Crystal Experimentation
Crystals are excellent magical conduits, but our deposits are few and scattered. However, thanks to close collaboration with our Imperial colleagues, we have finally achieved a breakthrough in this field of research. The new crystals will function as an excellent replacement and, in due time and with enough funding, as the cornerstone for further development.
|
|
|
The Power Of the Atom
So much power in such a small particle; and now it is in our hooves. Our enemies will tremble before us, their cities will burn in scorching fire, for we now wield the power of the Nightmare made manifest!
|
|
|
End the Native Affairs Commission
The time has come to disband the NAC. For centuries, it has gifted us with ample laborers for development projects and, after time, new converts to the faith and proud citizens. But the Empress has decreed it shall come to an end, and so it shall. But we shall be eternally thankful for all its officials, and especially its head, Eternal Eclipse.
|
|
|
|
Compromise With the LMRD
We cannot deny the great and countless contributions done by the LMRD to our cause, yet the Nightmare has spoken. Some of its more 'radical' projects will have to be suppressed, though surely there's still much the organization as a whole can offer, away from prying eyes. A meeting with their representatives is in order.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
|
Coconut Crab Ranching
The Coconut Crab is the largest land animal with an exoskeleton that does not use magical means for its survival. These large creatures were common in Chiropterra and have been hunted for centuries for their meat, nearly to the point of extinction. By expanding our protection of the crabs and allocating many more to sanctioned ranches, we can cultivate them safely.
|
|
|
|
The Blood And Soil Movement
Following our victory, a new movement seems to be taking root within the Chiropterran society. Its representatives spout about a rejection of modern society as deviancy from the will of the Nightmare, and an immediate return to the ancient farming traditions as a rejuvenation of faith and moral fiber through hard work. Eccentric perhaps, though there is certainly something to gain in indulging them.
|
|
Local Ponypower: +5% Monthly Population: +10%
|
|
Utilise Chain Gangs
As our armies sweep through Northern Zebrica, we found ourselves with an abundance of prisoners. Rather than letting them being a mere hindrance on our resources, we shall organize them into labour teams, dedicated to extending the required infrastructure necessary to sustain our armed forces.
|
|
 Chain Gangs
Prisoners have been put to use, granting an useful boast to our construction efforts across the nation. Just keep an eye on them.
|
|
Veterans Of The Long War
We have returned victorious from Equestria with our heads held high! Our Legions have proven themselves to be the most well trained and disciplined fighting force in Equestria or Zebrica. This war has also proven our doctrine of a small, elite, force to be valuable, and we shall continue to pursue it as a result.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
Legionary Mechanisation
There is a tribe of warriors on Zebrica that can march fifty miles a day and still fight, but they are only carrying spears and shields. A modern soldier carries much more and his support unit's wagons. We must fully motorize our military so that we can move a hundred fifty miles a day and fight with the full force of our modern Legions!
|
|
|
|
Develop the Tank Fleet
Originally an invention from the accursed and godless communists from Stalliongrad, we must recognize that the tank has its potential as the perfect meeting point between armour, speed and firepower. Despite the initial reservations, it's time for Chiropterra to add such mighty vehicles to its arsenal and crush the enemy of the Nightmare under our threads.
|
|
|
Heavier Plating
The recent experiences on the battlefield proved that our light tanks have their limits when facing a determined opponent. The solution to such problem is a complete overhaul of our armoured forces. Our new tanks must be larger, heavily armoured, and their new armament should allow them to deal with anything the enemy might throw at them. Especially other tanks.
|
|
|
|
Armoured Trains
Railways are the backbone of our logistics no matter the amount of trucks we may have. It is important that we provide this critical asset of military infrastructure with the means to defend itself. By implementing the use of armored trains, we cannot only improve the defense of our logistics but also some units dedicated to protecting railways to be used elsewhere.
|
|
Global Stats: Org. Loss when Moving: -5% Reinforce Rate: +5%
|
|
Infantry Kit Modernisation
The Chiropterran infantrymare is the pride of our armed forces, serving with the same zeal and dedication of his forefathers. To accomplish such task, he must be given the best equipment available. Modern equipment and a ferocious training regime will allow him to prevail over any opponent.
|
|
|
|
Auxiliary Combat Role Training
Our Auxiliaries cannot be wasted on menial tasks anymore! Some of our most loyal units comprise of Auxiliary forces, therefore we must integrate them wholly into the Legions. Separate support companies mixed in with regular troops will give our frontline units greater flexibility.
|
|
|
|
The Stanchion
The Stanchion is a modern anti-tank rifle that gives its user the power of an anti-tank gun in the power of their hooves. Early trials are promising with live fire demonstrations coming in a matter of months. The ammunition the tank weapon uses can be altered as well depending on the range, target, or environment; all around a promising and unique weapon for our Legions' arsenals.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
|
Calibrate Equipment Manufacturing
The wars of the future will be, first of all, industrial in nature. Though individual courage has still its place, it is pointless if the soldier's magazine is dry. We must make sure that our industrial sector is capable of sustaining our military effort. A set of guidelines to streamline production are exactly what's needed.
|
|
|
|
Adapt The Luna Nova
Magical rifles are a novelty. Unreliable perhaps, but their efficacy cannot be denied. Gone are the times when only unicorns could launch devastating spell against their enemies. Through a more widespread adoption of such weapons, our forces will be capable of punching well above their weight.
|
|
|
|
Field Artillery Development
Larger calibres; longer barrels; heavier munitions. Artillery is and will remain king of the battlefield, and our army must keep up with the advancements in such field of warfare. Furthermore, through closer cooperation between our batteries and forward observers, we can easily identify where to deliver such devastating payloads.
|
|
|
|
The Legionary Chemical Warfare Corps
The Empress of the Night has given us a task, and as Her most faithful servants we will carry it out, no matter the cost or the means required. The newly established Chemical Warfare Corps will ravage Her enemies in both body and mind, showing them that resistance against our righful cause is foolish. Keep your gasmask close, and take a deep breath!
|
|
Command Power Cost: - Base cost: 0.25 (each for 1 battalion) Duration: 7 days Cooldown: 20 days Division Attrition: +25.0% Unit Upkeep: +25% Add following effects to the armies for 4 days - Offense: 50.0% - Defense: 75.0% - Breakthrough: 5.0% - Organization Damage Taken: 100.0% - Strength Damage Taken: 60.0%
|
|
Legacy of the Shadowbolts
The Shadowbolts were a dedicated flying formation from the first coming of Nightmare moon known for their ferocity in the skies! Their night flying is legendary and their accomplishments in the skies even greater! We shall look to their memory as we develop our flying corps capabilities, our new planes and doctrine will echo their legacy!
|
|
|
|
Combined Arms Tactics
The use of combined arms represents the future of warfare. Coordinated assaults of infantry, artillery, and armor to destroy the enemy in quick, decisive attacks will win us our next war. Gone are the days of wasteful tactics and mass infantry attacks without proper support, this new doctrine will pave the way to victory with overwhelming firepower.
|
|
|
|
Strategic Destruction
In war we are not just fighting military forces anymore, we are fighting nations. Every city is an asset, every civilian in it a labourer for their war effort. Some on the Council might not approve of this new approach to warfare, but we must strike at all assets of the enemy in order to end a war as quickly as possible by bombing the enemy into absolute submission.
|
|
|
|
The Imperial Strategic Petroleum Reserve
We are a small nation and our resources can easily be stretched thin in a prolonged conflict, why even our economy now is reliant upon fuel. Our limited contact with the world at large means that we cannot so easily acquire it either. By opening a series of synthetic plants and establishing a means to store vast quantities of oil for long periods of time, we can prepare a vast reserve for military use.
|
|
Imperial Strategic Petroleum Reserve
A new initiative has started to assure that, even in the harshest times of war, our nation can count on a substantial fuel reserve for our armed forces.
|
Jet Engine Technology Experimentation
Recent advancements in jet engines have introduced a new fighter model to our arsenal. Its speed is unmatched compared to our current models, and it heralds the beginning of a new generation of aircrafts. It would be wise to invest in such new technology so to assure our uncontested control of the skies.
|
|
|
|
Joint Chiefs of Staff
Only a fool would have different branches of our military compete with one another for supplies or resources, but we are limited in who we can provide with what. By adopting a Joint Chiefs of Staff to inform the Legionary Council of the different branches' needs, we can better organize and coordinate their efforts with the goal of the state.
|
|
Joint Chiefs of Staff
Our forces can now better coordinate during large scale operations. Superior planning will make up for our fewer numbers.
|
|
Operational Integrity
Gone are the days when generals commanded nearly every aspect of a battle. Instead, our commanders will now pass on their plans and intent to subordinates. Those subordinates will do the same down the chain of command. At each level the officers will be able to pursue their own means to completing their respective objectives with disciplined initiative.
|
|
Legionary Operational Integrity
The Legions' commanders can now count on considerable autonomy regarding how to conduct their forces in the field.
|
|
Refining Our Tactics
Our tactics have proven themselves valuable and effective on the battlefield, but there is always room for improvement. Our generals will come together and learn from one another and develop new doctrine on how we can perform even better in the next conflict in service of the Empress.
|
|
|
The Special Air Service
While thestrals and pegasi are blessed with the gift of flight, we can't say the same for our other subjects. But because of our population capable of flight, we haven't been quick to adopt paratroopers into our military. But now, an enterprising young officer has "convinced" us of the value of an elite unit capable of aerial operations regardless of the race of its soldiers.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
|
Her Imperial Majesty's Legionary Ranger Corps
We must develop a dedicated light infantry corps to better improve the lethality of our divisions. It is with this course of action that we open our first 'Ranger' school in the Howling Mountains region. We shall test candidates' mental, physical, and martial prowess in order to form a specialized ranger corps that can be integrated with our main infantry units.
|
|
Hills: Attack: +5% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Marines: Hills: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Mountaineers: Hills: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Paratroopers: Hills: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10%
|
|
Stormtrooper Tactics
The Griffonian heretics and their meagre empire have developed an interesting infantry doctrine around 'Infiltration Tactics' and 'Stormtroopers'. By allowing small detachments of our soldiers to survey and attack weak points in the enemy line, we can breakthrough where the enemy least expects us; just like the Stormtroopers of the Griffon Empire.
|
|
Stormpony Tactics
Taking inspiration from the griffons' methods of warfare, special assault sections have been created to punch through enemy lines and cut off stubborn strongpoints.
|
|
Her Imperial Majesty's Sappers
With the integration of Auxiliary units into combat roles, we can train our engineers to serve a greater purpose in combat. Taken from the Aquileian tradition, our sappers will act as our frontline combat engineers. No matter the danger, the obstacle, or the mission; our sappers will clear a path for our Empress' blessed Legions!
|
|
Reconnaissance: +1.0 Breakthrough: +1.0
|
|
Psychological Warfare
All soldiers are susceptible to manipulation, even our own. While our propaganda will remind the Legions what they are fighting for, we shall invest heavily into our own efforts to undermine our enemy's will to fight. It is useless to resist the will of Nightmare Moon and we are her chosen ponies. If the pamphlets do not convince them, the speaker systems will.
|
|
|
|
Refine the Tools
The Nightmare's eyes and ears are everywhere, and our enemies cannot hope to hide their forces, not on land, sea, or air. Widespread adoption of new radar systems grants us the ability to intercept enemy incursions and communication in equal measure.
|
|
|
|
The Chiropterran Commonwealth
Victory is ours, and our enemies stand humbled before the Nightmare's might! Still, our work is not yet finished. Conquering territory is relatively easy; holding it for good is another matter entirely. The Empress has granted us dominion over these new territories and declared the establishment of a Commonwealth of Nations in North Zebrica. This is where the real work shall soon begin.
|
|
|

The LeHay Reforms
A new proposal has arrived before the Council, bearing LeHay's own signature. After a thorough analysis on the conduct of our forces during the North Zebrica War, he argues, the role of our air force was crucial in may occasions to beat back the Hippogriffs. His plan proposes a robust set of reforms to keep our flyers in top shape for the wars of the future.
|
|
|
|
Aerial Logistics Department
Supplies are a core elements of any combat operation, and our focus should always be on denying them to the enemy and protecting our own. By developing appropriate procedures to resupply our forces in a substantial manner from the air, we'll no longer have to worry about our troops outrunning their supply lines.
|
|
Aerial Logistics Department
LeHay has begun implementing his reform program, granting our forces much needed flexibility and some autonomy from rigid and vulnerable supply lines.
|
|
Intercontinental Operations
As we expand the scope of our operations, we'll need to start taking into serious consideration the possibility that we'll be operating far from our borders for extended period of times. We must make sure that the distance won't be an impediment to our bomber fleets.
|
|
Imperial Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Vast quantities of fuel have been set aside for emergency use. They will grant us some autonomy in case of conflict.
|
|
Nuclear Capabilities
It is a well established truth that peace can be mantained only through the threat of violence. Now that we've begun the development of our own nuclear arsenal, we require the means to deliver it against our enemies, and regular bombers won't do. New models shall be developed, and deployed should the situation require them.
|
|
|
|
The Meadow Plan
Now that the economy is free from the stifling grasp of the Legionary regime Governor Meadow can enact her reforms, such as the removal of unwanted economic regulations. The planned changes will promote competition and industriousness among private companies which will create a fair and sustainable free-market economy.
|
|
|
|
The New Ayacachtli Business Center
The current industrial zone in the capital is too small to accommodate the new industries that have sprung up thanks to Governor Meadow's reforms. Thus, a new industrial district will be zoned out in the city where new factories can be built, increasing national production.
|
|
Palisade Street
Palisade Street has officially become the beating heart of Chiropterran finance. In time, it will grow to challenge the others economics centres in importance.
|
Rapid Urban Modernisation
As the nation's industry grows, so does the urbanisation rate. To ensure that cities can provide work and housing to these new migrants, more land will be given to industries and residences close to them.
|
|
|
|
Cybersin
While the Meadow Plan is mostly focused on expanding the commercial and industrial capabilities of the Commonwealth, funds should also be allocated to the scientific areas of these fields. This will ensure that all businesses use the latest technologies and methods to get their profits.
|
|
 Cybersin
With the introduction of the first computers, there are already speculations on how to properly integrate them in various fields, especially the economic one. They will surely help coordinate production and administration between different productive branches.
|
|
Private Military Design Contractors
In the spirit of the free market private military designers will be allowed to compete in the economy. They will be free to design and produce weapons to their heart's content. Any innovations they make will, in the end, strengthen Chiropterra as well.
|
|
 Private Military Designers
We have begun integrating private firms into our defence industry. It will easy the burden on our bureaucratic apparatus but without concession made to the quality of our armaments.
|
|
North Zebrican Resource Allocation Department
As our borders have been greatly expanded in the wake of our victory, we must look to the just redistribution of North Zebrica's vast resources across the Commonwealth. The shambles of nation states that once held this territory were unable to use the bounty beneath them. It is our holy duty to the Nightmare, to allocate these new assets for the betterment of the Commonwealth as a whole.
|
|
|
|
Veteran Land Grants
The lands to the East can hardly be considered loyal territory yet. While we continue to debate what to do with its denizens, we can guarantee a perfectly loyal group by allocating significant portions of the territories to veteran plantations. Not only will this prove to be a boon to our economy, it will reward our former soldiers and plant true citizens of Chiropterra across the Commonwealth.
|
|
|
|
Legionary Settlement Defence Force
While our pacification brigades are an excellent tool in our arsenal for dealing with stubborn resistance, even our military cannot be everywhere at once. Among loyalists and veterans across the Commonwealth's new territories, we shall empower them to form defensive militias in their towns to combat insurgent forces. This will put much needed pressure onto rebel groups with little cost.
|
|
Imperial Frontier Forces
As our conquests continue, the IFF expands accordingly to meet ever increasing demands through the integration of local collaborators and settler militias.
|
|
Industrial Relocation Office
The once...'prosperous' centers of industry in in Tobuck and Warzena were suited for their needs, not that of the Commonwealth. While many locals have protested the decision, it is only logical we relocate these assets where we see fit. These are no longer the factories of corrupt businessponies and warlords, but the means to a greater purpose under Nightmare Moon.
|
|
While this occupation law is active on a state you may use the Relocate Industry State Modifier:
Local Resources: -50%
Resistance Target: +50%
Required Garrisons: +50%
Daily Compliance Gain: -0.025%
No Compliance Gain: Yes
|
|
Private Military Design Contractors
With our recent victory, it is time to relinquish our centralized approach to weapons production. We will allow instead private businessponies to compete in a free market environment, so that only the best products will have the honour of being employed by our forces. Ah, the beauty of the military-industrial complex!
|
|
Private Military Designers
We have begun integrating private firms into our defence industry. It will easy the burden on our bureaucratic apparatus but without concession made to the quality of our armaments.
|
|
Counter-Terrorism Operations
Fighting a uniformed enemy is far easier than fighting a scattered insurgency, but there are many avenues open to us in this regard. The road ahead is dangerous though, failures in containing these threats do not only mean losses today; but losses for decades to come. An insurgency must be dealt with effectively and expediently.
|
|
Commonwealth Security Office
Dealing with the resistance might necessitate a decentralized approach, but a central authority is required to identify which targets to strike and which of our assets are more vulnerable to enemy actions.
|
|
Search And Destroy
The obscene cost of building a network of overlapping fortifications is maddening! Therefore, we shall engage the enemy where we find them. While the enemy will retain much of their freedom of movement, anytime they congregate in meaningful numbers they will be crushed with overwhelming firepower.
|
|
|
|
The Flying Arrow Doctrine
Although far more costly than looking for a fight, the Flying Arrow Doctrine requires a great network of blockhouses and outposts to restrict movement in designated areas. By denying the enemy the freedom of movement from these fixed positions, a mobile quick reaction force will engage any insurgents within these areas once they are spotted.
|
|
|
|
Interservice Cooperation
While fighting an insurgency is much more layered than a conventional war, it does share its similarities. Clear lines of communication and integrated chains of command in areas of operation will enable a singular, shared approach as opposed to multiple disconnected efforts from different agencies and branches.
|
|
|
|
Civilian Outreach Programs
An insurgency will continue indefinitely if the civilian population does not want you there. While we cannot change hearts and minds overnight, nor cause further harm by isolating civilians in camps... we can reach out to them. By building roads, schools, and integrating ourselves into their lives peacefully we can turn them against the insurgency.
|
|
|
|
The WLA Question
The Warzenan Liberation Army failed its purpose as a military unit and as a propaganda piece. The collaborators have proven time and time again to be a failure in the eyes of the Commonwealth. As we finalize our efforts in eliminating organized resistance, the WLA is our final decision; what do we do with them?
|
|
|
|
Internment Camps
In an insurgency it is impossible to tell a civilian from an insurgent, so we will no longer attempt to. By rounding up the locals into patrolled and regulated camps, we can let them go about their lives under our watchful eye as we eliminate anyone outside these camps. For if they're outside the camps, clearly they are the enemy.
|
|
|
|
Local Legionary Commissariats
A series of joint civilian-military commissariats shall be established in these zones of occupation to deepen our connection to these new territories with our government in Chiropterra. Overtime these shall be dismantled in favor of more conventional governmental structures once the insurgency is pacified down to a local level.
|

Fresh Blood
Our officer corps has acquired tremendous experience on the field, and they are the envy of all the militaries of the world. Still, many of them are aging by now; a substantial shakeup is required to avoid crystallization of acquired doctrines and to introduce younger minds into our higher ranks. At the very least, they ought to learn a trick or two from their more seasoned colleagues.

The Carrot-Crescent Government
The Governors' Pact has outmaneuvered the Council. Progress and liberty have defeated outdated tradition and oppression. The government, military and industry will be reformed to serve the people, unlike the current situation. With the guidance of the triumvirate the Commonwealth will become a modern nation.
|
|
|
|
Trustbuilding Campaign
Our more overzealous soldiers might take it upon themselves to personally limit local villages and towns in the name of the Nightmare following an insurgent attack, but this initiative often leads to numerous dead civilians. We must limit this foolish tendency and replace it with a more unified trust building effort.
|
|
Trustbuilding Campaign
Simply avoiding reprisals will only get us so far in gaining the local's sympathies. We have instructed Legionnaire personnel to provide limited assistance to the local population when necessary.
|
|
The Native Homeland Act
We will make no friends nor enlighten anypony if we go around kicking the natives off their land. The Native Homeland Act will ensure that law-abiding ponies of the Commonwealth will be able to enjoy the lands their ancestors have lived on for centuries. It is their land, but it now rests under our law.

Damage to Garrisons: -25.00%

Improve Quality Of Life
The old regime was more concerned with military matters than caring for the nation's people. Resources will be diverted to civilian goods and services, improving the quality of life for our people from their current spartan conditions. This will allow our people to enjoy the hard-earned fruits of their labours.
|
|
Quality Of Life Improvements
Thorough plans have been laid out to bring the natives' standard of livings up to the Chiropterrans' level. Or close enough, anyway.
|
|
Encourage Religious Syncretism
One of the glaring divisions in Chiropterran society is the exclusionary view followers of Nightmare Moon have towards foreign religions. To heal this divide restrictions on other religions will be removed and an effort will be made to amalgamate the most prominent religious views of our people. This will promote integration and understanding among the population.
|
|
Religious Syncretism Act
In order to achieve further integration with the native populations, we have visibly relaxed our conversion efforts and encouraged numerous forms of religious syncretism. Some might be branded as heresy, but the results cannot be denied.
|
|
The Responsible Government Act
With an accountable government ruling the Commonwealth laws must be introduced to ensure that subsequent governments will be just as responsible. This statute will introduce various checks and balances in state institutions to ensure transparency in their dealings. This Act will also ensure that only officials with integrity will be allowed to work towards improving the nation.
|
|
Lunar Dominion
With the Nightmare's return, Chiropterra now stand by the Empress's side as Her most faithful servants. Her enemies are our enemies, and the Legions shall fall upon them without mercy.
|
|
The Civil Liberties Act
Under the previous regime all non-thestral creatures were legally discriminated against. Although much has been done to purge this crime a law will be enacted to erase any doubt regarding the rights of sentient beings in our borders. This new statute will proclaim that all sentient beings in the Commonwealth are equal and any form of unfair discrimination will not be tolerated.
|
|
|
|
The National Brotherhood Administration
Because of the various conflicts that have taken place in North Zebrica the Commonwealth boasts a large number of veterans, our own soldiers and former enemies alike. To guarantee their integration back to civilian life is as smooth as possible soldiers' fraternities will be created and supported under a larger national department, ensuring they'll receive efficient care.
|
|
National Brotherhood Administration
The NBA is the largest association of former servicestallions and mare. The organization will provide a gathering point for all those veteran Legionnaire that return back to the civilian life.
|
|
Reform The Hoof
The Hoof has had various assignments to perform in our nation's history. Such as torturers, inquisitors, and informants to name a few of the unsavory jobs. In light of political changes, however, the Hoof is in dire need of reform. It will be changed into an intelligence agency that will inspire trust and cooperation in our people, not fear and submissiveness as in the past.
|
|
The Central Intelligence Bureau
The Nightmare's Hoof has been thoroughly restructured and reformed into a new intelligence agency. Though some of their despicable methods of information-gathering have been discarded, the agency and its agents remains as sharp and dangerous as ever.
|
|
The Military Oversight Committee
Under the previous regime the military was free to do whatever they deemed was necessary to support the war effort. This, at times, involved the indefinite acquisition of private property and the curbing of individual rights. A committee will be established to ensure that the military does not go beyond the scope of its power when carrying out its activities.
|
|
Military Oversight Committee
We cannot continue with our current military approach, not if we wish to build a new image in front of the locals. Therefore, indiscriminate violence and reprisals will be no longer be accepted as proper military conduct.
|
|
An End To The Hierarchy
To create a truly egalitarian society the practice of promoting and hiring individuals based on their social standing and political loyalty must be ended. From this point forward all creatures will be judged based on merit and their achievements and will have equal opportunities to compete for power. This will ensure that those who are in positions of power have earned it.
|
|
|
The Council Consolidation Act
The crisis has passed and the Legionnary Council has endured. Now what remains to be done is to assure that such events won't occur again, by crystallizing the role of the Council in the new system of governance. Though a few concession will have to be made, it is worthy to guarantee future stability.
|
|
|
|
The Native Homeland Act
We will make no friends nor enlighten anypony if we go around kicking the natives off their land. The Native Homeland Act will ensure that law-abiding ponies of the Commonwealth will be able to enjoy the lands their ancestors have lived on for centuries. It is their land, but it now rests under our law.

|
The Protected Ponies Initiative
The state is obligated to protect the life of the individual, their property, and their choice of faith...provided of course their loyalty and the acceptance of a higher tax rate. It is an equal exchange that will quell most religious dissidents while also swaying those more susceptible to convert.
|
|
Protected Persons Initiative
Not everybody might embrace the Nightmare but, in order to pacify the native population, we will grant them equal legal status in exchange for their loyalty.
|
|
The Separate And Harmonious Policy
Those who do not worship the Nightmare cannot be forced to under the Protected Ponies Initiative...but that does not mean they can be in the same schools or buildings as the faithful. As long as each facility is equal to its faithful counterpart, there is no reason not to segregate; right?
|
|
Protected Persons Initiative
There is no doubt that, in but a couple of decades or so, the Nightmare shall gain an unbreakable hold on these lands.
|
|
Calibrated Charity Drives
The consequences of our conquest still linger in the recently acquired territories; many of those ponies and zebras had yet to fully recover from the Storm King's incursion of a decade ago! Therefore, we see no reason why we shouldn't make active efforts to improve their situation, especially if that helps divert their minds away from rebellion.
|
|
The Wonders Of Charity
Well-calibrated charity drives will help us sway the local population away from the resistance.
|
|
A Society Of Warriors
The Six Legions are Chiropterra, and Chiropterra is the Six Legions. Through sweat and blood they kept their faith alive for a thousand years, and in the end led us to victory. Their example of discipline, selflessness, and courage should be followed by all. Every Citizen should aspire to be a Legionnaire.
|
|
|
|
Aristocratic Heritage
Chiropterra can vaunt a long ancestry, dating back to Equestria's very foundation and then to the brave noble houses that stood by the Nightmare in the time of need. Unlike their griffon counterpart, the Chiropterran aristocrat cannot simply enjoy the wealth brought by hereditament, but has to strive so that the glory earned in the service of the state equals, or surpass, the achievements of his ancestors.
|
|
|
|
The National Brotherhood Administration
As veterans head home, it is only natural that they desire to remain in contact with their former comrades. As long as Legionnary Brotherhoods are overseen by specific organs, we see no reason why we shouldn't encourage such practise. They will carry their martial spirit back into civilian life, and it will allow us to maintain a core of veterans for extraordinary circumstances.
|
|
National Brotherhood Administration
Though no longer under arms, the Legionnaires still feel strong bonds of fraternity and loyalty amongst each other. The NBA regularly organizes charity drives to help struggling veterans and their families, as well commemorative ceremonies for those who fell in service of the Nightmare.
|
|
No Foal Left Behind
A child's mind is easy to mold to see the truth of the world. No matter their faith or background, no foal shall go uneducated. They must learn of the Commonwealth's history and our vanquishment of the tyrant in Canterlot, they must learn of their supremacy in this world!
|
|
No Foal Left Behind
Conversion efforts are being directed to foals and fillies as well, through the implementation of an extensive school program.
|
|
Civil 'Liberties' Act
It is no secret that the Council's victory was not liked by everypony, especially those that would hope to tow a more progressive line. Still, a few concessions can be made on the subject, especially if we aim to keep the opposition under control. It's time to assure the Governor's Pact collaboration for the foreseeable future. For the betterment of Chiropterra, of course.
|
|
|
|
The Commonwealth Secured
The council is secured and the rebels have been exterminated. We have finally assured the continuation of the Chiropterran Commonwealth for years to come, so that we may carry out the Nightmare's Will. Now, a toast! To a thousand years and more!
|
|
|
Victory In Zebrica Day
A new national, public holiday will be instituted to mark the end of the North Zebrica War. Not only will festive celebrations be held but respectful commemorations will also be held to remember those who sacrificed so much so that we may live in peace and prosperity.
|
|
|
|
Railway Blues
During the NZW the POW's that were taken by the Chiropterran military were used as physical laborers, most notably to construct railways for their ever-advancing enemies. With the recent regime change, however, there is an ongoing debate on what the future status of this draconian punishment should be.
|
|
|
|
The Agricultural Reform Act
Our old agricultural laws contain numerous relics of an aristocratic age, when plantation-owning families owned much of the land and war with Equestria was top-of-mind. We will pass an act dispensing of such archaisms.
|

| |
|
Fiscal Stabilisation
The Chiropterran bit has been unstable ever since we lost the war, with the threat of runaway inflation ever-present. Fortunately the Nightmare's Hoof kept a great deal of Equestrian currency stashed away for use on operations, and we can use that to keep our government afloat long enough to stabilise our own monetary system.
|
 Economic Devastation
Our economy has been utterly devastated following the war. We must take efforts to rebuild, or we will fail to recover.

The Industrial Coordination Office
Whether they be aristocratic family businesses, publicly-traded enterprises or worker cooperatives, we should invite prominent firms to a planning table to coordinate resource allocation and subsidies to promote economic recovery.
|
| |
|
Executive Order No. 15
We will issue an order that the tens of thousands of freed labourers in Chiropterra be given supplies and economic assistance to get back on their hooves and find a place in our country. It is both the smart thing to do and the right thing to do.
|
|
Executive Order No. 15
|
|
Shake Hooves With The Old Money
Everypony in Chiropterra works hard, labourer or no, so why should we give them special assistance out of the public purse? A few aristocratic families have offered to take care of those recently-freed labourers, offering them room and board in exchange for work, and promising that this will greatly help us rebuild our economy.
|

Chiropterran Arcadianism
Chiropterra is a beautiful country, with a huge variety of crops we can grow. We will use this natural fertility to build a strong agricultural sector now that ceaseless drilling and the war economy are no longer the order of the day.

Subsidise Coconut Crab Ranching
The coconut crab is a fine piece of livestock, but unfortunately the war left their ranches abandoned and the creatures to run wild. We should subsidize rebuilding these ranches and expanding them so we can tap into this resource once more.
|
|
|
|
Infrastructural Reconstruction Effort
The war left large sections of our infrastructure destroyed, leaving many towns isolated which were not deemed crucial to the war effort. We should mobilise work brigades to repair these roads, bridges and railways, and make them better than they were before.
|
|
|
|
Support Northern Coal Mining
We will never have a strong industrial sector without a steady supply of coal to fuel the furnaces. While this work was once done by expendable labourers working in poor conditions, we believe we can do it better with free workers who have decent standards of safety and wages.
|
|
|
|
The Just In Time System
Traditional manufacturing had each factory keep vast warehouses of raw materials in reserve. This is inefficient. It leads to wastage and spoilage in the event of slowdowns and frequently results in producing more product than customers buy. A better method is to transport materials as and when needed, arriving just in time to make into finished products.

Restart Cash Crop Exportation
In the old system, if we wanted to export anything it would have to be through shell companies and the black market, and the Nightmare's Hoof would have to inspect every shipment to the outside world to ensure it could not be traced back to us. Without all that extra overhead, we can start selling our cash crops on the open market.
|
|

Break Into The Food Processing Industry
We have a large and highly skilled industrial workforce, and bountiful land for agriculture. Combining those and the simple machinery we have left, we can become industry leaders in canned goods and other forms of food processing.

Our economy has been utterly devastated following the war. We must take efforts to rebuild, or we will fail to recover.

Rebuild The Petrochemical Industry
Feeding all these industries requires fuel, and as we are no longer in a position to pillage North Zebrica for oil we shall have to make do with imported petroleum or what we can synthesize on our own. We shall rise to that challenge, and become all the more prosperous for it.
|
|
|
The Fast Food Industry
A new industry is growing in Chiropterra: fast food. As the name suggests, the idea is for new chains of restaurants to serve cheap, appetising food within minutes of the customer ordering it. "Moonburger" may be a tasteless name, but the burgers are tasty!

Rekindle Chiropterran Entrepreneurship
Chiropterra has always had an innovative, flexible culture that rewards creation and ingenuity. This culture has begun to truly flourish in our republic, where all that creative energy is not solely directed towards finding new ways to kill and exploit.

The Vocational Education Act
Basic literacy is not enough for our citizens. Every Chiropterran citizen should, in addition to primary schooling, have access to free vocational training to go into the skilled trades, or in the case of students who demonstrate intellectual talent, into the sciences.
|
|
|
|
Silver Moon Telecommunications
Chiropterra has always been at the forefront of cryptology. The vast operations of the Nightmare's Hoof required it. We should turn this expertise in mathematics and electronic engineering to more peaceful applications, becoming leaders in telecom and computers.
|
|
|
|
Manufacturing Optimisation
Our manufacturing system is growing increasingly sophisticated. We should spread best practices learned in the most innovative firms to promote synergistic efficiency across sectors!
|
|
|
|
The Chiropterran Economic Miracle
After our defeat, our people feared a total economic collapse: gangs battling on the streets for scraps as thousands starved and the Chiropterran bit became worthless, leaving us destitute for generations to come. Instead, we have weathered the storm and emerged stronger for it, becoming one of the world's most innovative and competitive economies.

Chiropterran Remilitarisation
Our enemies may have disarmed us, shattered our military, killed or driven off our high command, but they have little way of enforcing our demilitarisation without starting another war. We will immediately begin reintroducing conscription and rebuild our army as quickly as possible, stronger than before.
|
|
|
|
Back To The Drawing Board
Evidently, the old system of six legions had major flaws. We can no longer afford to be bound by ancient traditions and religious dogmatism: we must look abroad, perhaps far abroad, to redesign our military from the ground up.
|
|
|
Subsidise Selenic Motors
Selenic motors is a civilian automotive company, but they have excellent production methods which could be put to use for military purposes. However, with our economy in shambles few of our citizens are looking to buy cars or tractors. We should bail them out in exchange for putting their expertise to work in our military industrial complex.
|
|
|
|
Rapid Rearmament
Our enemies could return at any time to crush what we are building. We have to make guns, and fast. Break out the backyard welders, scavenge the old armouries, scrounge whatever we can to rearm as quickly as possible!
|
|
|
Kickstart The Automobile Industry
We have a surprisingly good automotive industry, but until recently very few buyers apart from the military. With our economy on the road to recovery and foreign markets opening up to us, we can issue a set of government-backed loans to get our automotive industry up and running.
|
|
 The Selenic Automation Method
|
Support The Stirling Clique
Stirling Silver was among the boldest officers in the old legions. He and his friends have intriguing ideas for integrating the elite of the old legions into the structure of our modern military, using them for surgical strikes and behind-enemy-lines operations rather than frontline combat.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
The Reformed Legions
|
|
Militia Structural Integration
During the brief but bloody period of occupation following our defeat, a number of mixed civilian-military militias emerged to fight our occupiers. We should reach out to these semi-defunct organizations, and integrate those willing to serve into our new army.
|
|
|
|
Asymmetric Warfare Training
The fact is, the legions can be beaten in the open field. It has happened once, and it can happen again. When that day comes, we must be ready to fight delaying actions, guerilla wars, insurgencies, and generally do whatever it takes to ensure that an operational defeat of the legions does not turn into an overall defeat of our nation, as we may not be able to throw off the next batch of occupiers.
|
|
The Civil Defence Force
The Civil Defence Force
|
Legionary Mechanisation Initiative
An undisciplined bandit can kill the most elite legionnaire with a piece of stray shrapnel from a mortar. We should roll out shrapnel- and small-arms-proof transport vehicles for our soldiers, so that when they die it will at least be on the battlefield proper and not to some ambush or stray shell.
|
|
|
|
The Chiropterran National Guard
We shall organize our former legionnaires and civilians into a national guard, who will help with second-line tasks such as refurbishing captured gear and, if necessary, put these scrounged weapons to use launching guerilla attacks on occupying forces.
|

The Special Air Service
Stirling's efforts have borne fruit, and soon a new generation of special forces will join our army, blending the old legionnaire elan with the precision of modern mission-based tactics.
|
|
|
|
The Blue Star Contract
It is time to develop a new series of tanks, larger and more heavily-armoured than previous generations and able to withstand modern anti-tank weapons. These will serve as an armoured spearhead, punching through enemy lines and allowing our forces to sweep up the disordered foe.
|
|
|
|
Revitalise The Legions
The legion system of old is reborn, more robust and strong enough to face the challenges of modern warfare. While wars may be fought with weapons, they are won by soldiers, and we will win the next war because we have the best soldiers!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
The Reformed Legions
|
|
Modern Day Legionarism
The legion system will never be reborn, and this is a good thing. Modern wars are won with vast forces, logistics, and technology, not individual prowess and the expertise of a few elite officers. However, this does not mean we have to forget the past entirely: the fighting spirit of the old legions still pervades our army, and there will always be a place for heroism among our ranks.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
The Reformed Legions
|
|
Officialise The Civilian Defence League
The Civilian Defence League was always in an ambiguous position in the old system, as civilians were not meant to do legionnaires' jobs, but they have more than proven their worth during the period of occupation following the legion's defeat. We should formally integrate them into our armed forces.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Integrate The National Legionary Brotherhood
The National Legionary Brotherhood consists of legionnaires from legions which were too devastated in the aftermath of our defeat to reconstitute, and who refused to join the three remaining legions. We should mobilise these disaffected veterans, recruiting them into a reconstituted legion with their own officers and uniforms.

The True Moon Society was a thorn in the side of the legions, refusing to worship the Nightmare and instead worshipping the moon directly, denouncing the entire Chiropterran system as based on lies. Much to our surprise, they have offered to aid our new republic in exchange for an official edict of religious tolerance.

We All Lift Together
The time has come. Our armies our ready, our industry is geared up for war, all they need is the order. All together now: socialist, liberal, nationalist, we will all fight as one to reclaim our lands from the invaders! For Chiropterra!

Chiropterran Revanchism
|
The LeHay Reform Plan
The old legions never could quite get the hang of how to integrate the airforce into their doctrine, but with their defeat and the establishment of the new republic, we can integrate the airforce into our doctrine from the ground up. Leaf LeHay has some great ideas on how to do just that.
|
|
|
|
Airstrip Modernisation
We should expand and modernise our airports to accommodate larger more modern aircraft, as well as improving the efficiency of our aluminum refinement to construct a state-of-the-art airforce.
|
|
|
|
Air To Land Integration
We should build specialised aircraft for ground support, optimised for quick takeoff and landing and for agile dive-bombing to deliver precision fire support to our ground forces.
|
|
|
|
Air to Sea Integration
Torpedo bombers will be the new terror of the seas, whether launched from an aircraft carrier or a conventional airbase. We will commission new torpedo bomber designs so that our enemies will never rule the seas while we rule the skies.
|
|
|
|
Rebuild The Fighter Fleet
The fighter plane is the backbone of any airforce. While most of our legion-era fighters were lost, we still have the machinery required to build them, and can improve on their designs to create a new generation of fighter craft.
|
|
|
|
Combined Aerial Operations Doctrine
Aircraft must work in close coordination with on-the-ground spotters, much as artillery has for many years now. By closely coordinating between the branches, we can minimize friendly fire incidents and ensure our payloads are delivered exactly where and when our ground forces need them most.
|
|
 Combined Aerial Operations
|
The Strategic Destruction Theorem
By targetting enemy infrastructure and war industry, we can chip away at their ability to keep their army in the field and at their fundamental will to fight. While we cannot muster a fleet of the "flying fortresses" Equestria can field, we can use heavier models of tactical bomber to strike enemy industry.
|
|
|
|
Bomb Them Back To The Stone Age
By carefully planning our bombing raids of enemy cities and installations, we can exploit architectural and planning weaknesses to ensure that fires spread and maximise devastation. Hitting water mains, targetting key intersections, and so on will cause the greatest amount of destruction per ton of ordnance we drop.
|
|
 The LeHay Doctrine
|
|
Jet Technology Experiments
Jet engines will revolutionise aviation, that much is obvious. What is less obvious is whether we will be able to capitalise on that revolution, or get left in the dust by it. We've assembled the brightest minds in Chiropterra to ensure that it's the former.
|
|
|
|
Refurbish The Ursagrad Shipyards
The Ursagrad shipyards are large, but outdated. We should outfit them with the newest machinery to rebuild our once-grand fleet.
|
|
|
|
Urbanise Moonspeaker Hollow
Moonspeaker Hollow was heavily damaged during the liberation. We can rebuild this town better than it was before, and make it the proper city it was always meant to be.
|
|
|
|
Reorganise The Marine Corps
As our navy revitalises, we ought not to forget the naval infantry. It is only through their elan and grit that naval victories translate to real beachheads stormed and ground taken.
|
|
|
|
Modernise The Territorial Fleet
The territorial fleet consists of a force of destroyers and other escorts designed to protect our commerce and coastlines from enemy raids. We should not let these vessels fall behind the technology curve.
|
|
|
|
A Modern Submarine Fleet
The submarine is the most efficient way to cut our enemies off from supplies and resources, turning their trade relations from strengths into weaknesses. We should modernise our submarine fleet to evade modern sonar and keep the pressure on our foes.
|
|
|
|
The Chiropterran Naval Aviation Department
Naval aviation is the way of the future. Soon battleships will be all but obsolete, kept in port for fear of naval bombers. We should embrace this change, as it will allow us to level the naval playing field with our foes.
|
|
|
|
Fuel Conservation Initiative
We lack the luxury of having oilfields within our borders. Therefore, we must retrofit our engines to get as many kilometers out of our limited fuel supply as they can.
|
|
Naval Fuel Conservation
|
|
Supply Line Disruption Tactics
We should focus our efforts on disrupting enemy shipping lanes. We may never match the naval forces of naval powers like Wingbardy and Hippogriffia, but we can still prove a mighty inconvenience to them with the right tactics.
|
|
Supply Line Disruption Tactics
We are shifting our focus away from direct engagement of enemy fleets, aiming to strike their vulnerable maritime supply and trade routes instead.
|
|
Long Distance Operations
We should focus our efforts on projecting power far afield, striking enemies who thought they were out of our range. Chiropterra will rule the waves!
|
|
Long Distance Operations
Our fleets can now operate well beyond their previously established range. The efficacy of our amphibious operations has certainly improved.

Keep The Scarlet Banner Flying

Our economy may have collapsed, but it is not "the economy" which works the factories: it is the workers. If we get Dusk Wane to talk to them, to listen to them, to promise them a better future, then they will work for that future even if we have to pay them in barter.

Religious values of charity and the belief in a higher power compel us to be kind to one another, particularly to the less fortunate, and not to greedily grasp for as much as we can take. On the other hoof, we acknowledge labour as the source of all good things in life. It should be gladly undertaken by all those able to work, rather than treated as a drudgery to be foisted off to slaves and the desperate.

Denounce The Crescent Moon Society
There is not a labourer in Chiropterra who hasn't lost a friend or been scarred by the horrific experiments of the LMRD.

The Long Road To Forgiveness
The war was over and the old regime of Chiropterran has been toppled. In its place, Dusk Wane stepped onto the pedestal to lead the country toward a brighter future.
|
|
|
Denounce The Past
From forceful assimilation to the oppression of the workers, and the pressure exerted on Princess Luna: Our proud nation has committed acts of terrorism and extortion in the name of Nightmare Moon, and to continue on the new path we must recognize our crimes.
|
|
|
The Convocation Of Moonspeakers
There will have to be a council of moral and religious guidance to steer Chiropterran in the right direction to keep order. Dusk Wane will send out a call for Moonspeakers all across the land, so the most experienced advisors can guide the Republic.
|
|
|
The Principle Of Cultural Solidarity
Every culture is built atop a foundation of key values. Honour, loyalty, faith, or duty. From here, the foundation of Chiropterra should be one of mutual aid. Helping a starving neighbor, struggling friend, or bankrupt family member.
|
|
|
Open Up The Archives
The average pony only has a loose idea of what the past regime did for Nightmare Moon. Our claims of atrocities will ring hollow unless we open up the vaults and make classified information public.
|
|

Labourist Confederalism
The old system was corrupt and rewarded those at the top. We have to reform the hierarchy of society and give power to the unions to ensure that the fruits of our land are distributed equally.
|

Deradicalisation And Rehabilitation Programs
A significant margin of Chiropterran criminals are militant followers of Nightmare Moon and will continue to threaten our new government unless we act. However, most of these ponies have only been exposed to extremist propaganda. It would be beneficial to give them a chance to unlearn this fanatical doctrine before taking any severe actions.
|
|
|
Encourage The Under The Moon Movement
Across the country, Moonspeakers from all walks of life and sects have come to preach forgiveness, healing, and peace. Increasingly more and more they have begun to preach over radio channels to spread their words far and wide. If we can spread their voice farther it should help more ponies recover.

It is crucial that production continues to be divested away from the lingering remnants of capital.

The Republican Dream
After surviving the oppression and ruthlessness of the previous regime our subjects yearn to live in a free nation that will listen and tend to their gripes. Fascists would only try to quash dissent and the anarchy that comes with the communists could throw Chiropterra over the edge. Only democracy can lead us to prosperity and harmony.

State Secularisation
The Lunarist regime was a theocracy, running the government with inefficient and regressive rituals, laws and procedures. This only turned the bureaucracy into a feudal-like system and alienated large numbers of our population who practise other religions. The state must be secularised in order to become efficient and inclusive to all.

The Panedha Labourer Clause
The blight of slavery must be removed if we wish to call ourselves a democratic nation. Every creature who is currently a member of the Labourer caste will be given full citizenship, regardless of race or religion, giving them all the benefits that citizens enjoy. A long overdue emancipation from their enslavement.
|
|
|
The Land Of Opportunity
Chiropterra got a second chance to right the wrongs of the previous regime. It is only fitting that our nation should become a land of second chances for all who want to change their lives for the better. Thus, immigration will be encouraged for those who wish to live their lives freely and are willing to work for a Chiropterra that is for everyone.
|
|
 The Land Of Opportunity
We should no longer be insular, but welcoming those who would come to the country. Immigration leads to innovation and improvement.

Deradicalisation And Rehabilitation Programs
The previous regime affected everyone. Victims are still recovering from their scars. Collaborators struggle with the shame and disillusionment born from their actions. Some of our citizens are still loyal to the fascists... All must be helped and guided on the path to recovery and understanding. Only together can we move forward.
|
|
|
Nurture The People
The previous regime left our people to fend for themselves by using all our nation's resources to prepare for war. We are not as callous. A social security net will be put in place to assist any creature who is in dire straits. By helping the vulnerable we will all become stronger.

Our citizens should no longer fear a visit from the Nightmare's Hoof for having different beliefs than the majority of the population. All creatures should be free to think and do whatever they want behind closed doors as long as they do not harm anyone.

State Secularism
State sponsored secularism is the way to go, allowing all creatures to worship as their hearts mandate.

The Chiropterran Civic Religion
Officially the Republic will be a secular nation. We will, however, encourage our citizens to participate in their local communities with religious-like resolve, whether it is through doing their jobs dutifully or by helping those in need. This new culture of steadfastness will foster a stronger sense of unity among our people.

The Land Of Opportunity
We should no longer be insular, but welcoming those who would come to the country. Immigration leads to innovation and improvement.
|

The Law Of Welcome
While one cannot force everypony to be welcoming towards others, we can subtly transform Chiropterra's culture by adjusting current practices and rhetoric. In due time, to welcome others and be welcomed in return will be but a simple common courtesy in our lands.

Nurture Immigrant Pluralism
Each of us are different in many ways and nopony's personal experiences exactly mirrors each other's, but it is in this entropic discourse that gives Chiropterra life and allows the nation to grow. Newcomers wishing to live in Chiropterra shouldn't be forced to discard their past, and our immigration laws should reflect this.

Not all of Chiropterra's lands are beautiful coastlines with cool sea breezes and temperate climates.

Fire up that Chiropterran frontier spirit because it is time to officially tame these lands as ours!

The Mistakes Of The Past Redeemed
Everyday Chiropterran must answer for the atrocities of its past, but we must not allow guilt to consume the way forward nor let arrogance lead us astray. These are but the first of many steps towards redemption.

Reforge The Intelligence Community
As a stallion with a keen mind, Carrot Stick knows how vital the intelligence field can be. Though unlike the cutthroat and terroristic prerogative of the past regime, Carrot Stick sees the opportunity to create a new intelligence organization for Chiropterra - a more persuasive, efficient, and, above all, more effective one.
|

The Illuminati
Retooling the intelligence service to be more nuanced whilst maintaining efficiency is where we need to take things.

Expand The Vocational Education Act
Sign-on bonuses, pension enrollment programs, free dental, a benefits tier system... There are plenty of ways Chiropterra can make its most needed jobs more rewarding for specialized workers who put in the extra hoof.
|

|
Ensure Free School Lunches
No filly or young creature should not worry about not eating, nor should parents struggle over providing food for their little ones. With proper funding, Chiropterra's schools can offer students free lunch meals (which actually taste good). A healthy mind starts with a healthy stomach!
|
|
|
The Rehabilitative Penal Code
If these last few years have taught Chiropterra anything, it's that the right to redemption knows no bounds. We should instill laws and programs to help the criminal remodel themselves into proper, law-abiding citizens again. The process itself will be hard, but unlike in times past, it will be achievable. We must not give up on fellow Chiropterrans, even if they have given up on themselves.

The Legions Of Democracy
A legion is comprised of a vast many, not a specific few. If Chiropterra is to be a nation for all, it military should represent such. Creatures who wish to fight for us should be allowed to join our armed forces to defend all who call themselves Chiropterrans.

Pluralise The Military Chaplain System
With the influx of new species joining the ranks of Chiropterra's Legions, we will accommodate those who hold different religious beliefs while serving our nation. Soldiers can be of any creature and hold whatever viewpoints and beliefs, but they are the ones who shoulder the responsibility of defending Chiropterra. Obliging their religious beliefs is the least we can do.

For a more effective and morally functional military, Chiropterra's Legions must be held accountable for their own actions, inactions, and discrepancies. Unlike regular laws, however, special codes and regulations that are specifically tailored to the realities of military life must be implemented. No creature is above the law, regardless of rank.

Adjust The LeHay Doctrine
There is no deniability that the LeHay doctrine's principles for air forces are sound, but whereas the past regime encouraged indiscriminate destruction, our forces today should instead adopt a more targeted approach.

Organise The National Guard
If everypony joins the Legions, there won't be any citizen left to run the civilian side of our nation. A compromise can be reached. Unlike fulltime Legions, the members of the National Guard can hold civilian jobs while also being ready to mobilize for both foreign and domestic emergencies.

Dirt roads and worn paths may have all the razor charm of the wilderness, but they offer no benefits for personal vehicle owners, whose numbers grow by the day.

Like the Good Old Days
Now that Gorge Z. Batton is at the helm of Chiropterra, it's finally time for a return to the old times of the nation, back when we could look at each other and our soldiers with pride and glory. There is no going back to the system of before, but our new Republic will be the face of who we are as a people: strong, proud and united.
|
|
|
The National Address
With the onset of renewed violence within Chiropterra, many civilians are worried for the future under our new government. We need to calm them down and reassure them that we can deal with the situation, and the best way to do that is to be direct. President Batton will personally go on the air to give a national address via radio, to inspire our proud people once more.

The Batsby Convention
The faith of Chiropterra, despite its age, was rarely put into text or solid foundations to be followed. Instead, the exact specifications were left to individual moonspeakers to make up on their own. If we are to help tie together Chiropterrans once more, we need to have some semblance of unity in faith, and so a convention will be called among moonspeakers in Batsby to sort things out.

Strike Against Political Radicalism
There are two devils in the nation that threaten us more than anything else, that being the socialism of Dusk Wane and the fundamentalism of Ocean Spray. Both are equally dangerous, and both must be stamped out in every way. A large propaganda campaign will be started, as to inform the people of the truth about these lying traitors of Chiropterra.
|
|
|
Strengthen Separation Of Powers
Gorge Z. Batton is a president and a general, not an autocrat. He does not want to govern every part of Chiropterra, nor does he wish to hold full control over the nation. The Senate must have its powers and independence assured with a new constitution, and authority must be spread to the state level to better manage affairs.
|
|
|
Reorganise The Administration
The old administration of Chiropterra is now unacceptably outdated for the new Republic, stifling us in our pursuits more than aiding us. The whole thing must be rebuilt from the ground up, from counties to states and all the way to the federal government, so we can tear down the old and put something better in its place.

The Servicepony's Readjustment Act
When the soldier's service to the nation is finished, many have trouble reintegrating back into civilian life, primarily from unemployment.

Denounce Radical Nightmare Worship
We may be tolerate towards many brands of the Lunarist faith, but we must draw the line somewhere.

Nuclear weaponry is shaping up more and more to be a devastating new weapon of warfare in the future, and as such we can not allow ourselves to be left without it.

Stirling's SAS has proven time and time again to be an elite, competition and most importantly successful group of special forces.

The Civil Defense Force was a good start in mobilizing civilians should the need ever come again, but it has no direction or real chain of command established, being separate from the army and legions.

Our size as a nation is small, and due to our devastating loss in war before we have had to build our economy once again from the ground up.

Incentivise Private Military Contractors
Private military contractors, or PMCs for short, are a new frontier of armed soldiers created in part by our own Stirling Silver, who in essence run war as a business for profit.

Land for far too long has been held by the select elite few, which only hampers the nation's economic growth and potential as well as giving undue influence to the landowners.

The duty of the soldier is harsh and unforgiving, and as such we must ensure that our brave troops remain honored and supported well past their retirement or end of service, and especially should they fall in battle for their families.

If Chiropterra is to survive now, it must be under the guiding hoof of Ocean Spray and his vision. There is still hope yet, so long as a new plan for success can be drafted and put into action.
|
|
|
|
The Batsby Reformation
With many moonspeakers disillusioned or dead, there is a power vacuum in the faith that must be filled. Ocean Spray has divised a solution to this problem: Fringe and extreme cults that still support our cause must be officially accepted into the political and religious structure of the new Chiropterra, lest we risk further damage at the hooves of the reactionary remnants.
|
|
Nightmareist Revivalism
If our new state is to be truly worthy of the Nightmare, the faith that reveres her must reflect her perfect majesty and authority. No more shall the proceedings of worship fall to local imbeciles that falsely proselytise socialism or harmony. All matters religious shall be managed centrally, with the approval of Ocean Spray.
|
Social Engineering
Acclimatization to a new environment is never easy, particularly for the masses who are currently trying to keep up with the reactionary reforms and Ocean Spray's personal efforts to centralise power around himself. It is only logical that we take steps to ensure that the transition towards such authoritarianism is as smooth as possible.
|
|
|
Stratocratic Constituents
Stratocracy has always been an inherent part of Chiropterra, but that does not mean the system was perfect; indeed it created a balance of power between many parts of and individuals within the state. The constituencies established during the period of coalition shall provide an excellent basis for a new stratocratic system that makes it impossible to ignore or challenge the will of Ocean Spray.
|
|
|
Administrative Centralism
So far our policies regarding the centralisation of the administration around Ocean Spray have proven immensely effective, both as a guarantor of stability and in maintaining political efficiency. Continuing this process to eliminate any possibility of internal reaction to the regime's current and future policies is a logical next step.
|
|
|
Restructure The LMRD
As one of the most pure and loyal elements of the new Chiropterran state, it is only natural that the LMRD receive more funding and an elevation of status within the new regime. So important is the institution that Ocean Spray has ordered a high level of cooperation with the wider intelligence network in to further the reach of the hidden state.
|
|
|
The Hierocratic Model
This mess of decentralised religious groups is precisely why such 'extreme' methods were required for Ocean Spray to rise and revive the true spirit of Chiropterra. With a top-down approach to religious authority and a firm hoof in guiding the faith through the state, there will never again be such apostates as Dusk Wane in our midst.
|
|
Nightmareist Revivalism
If our new state is to be truly worthy of the Nightmare, the faith that reveres her must reflect her perfect majesty and authority. No more shall the proceedings of worship fall to local imbeciles that falsely proselytise socialism or harmony. All matters religious shall be managed centrally, with the approval of Ocean Spray.
|
Temporal Authority
To vest responsibility for the faith in one thestral is a change that has long been necessary and there is no better time than the present to codify temporal authority in Ocean Spray himself. He shall have final say on all matters of faith and of purpose in service of the Nightmare, never again to be sullied by the voices of decadent moonspeakers.
|
|

No more shall the proceedings of worship fall to local imbeciles that falsely proselytise socialism or harmony. All matters religious shall be managed centrally, with the approval of Ocean Spray.
|
Redefine Scriptural Orthodoxy
Whilst the faith is now stable and centralised under proper guidance, it is certainly not uniform. Regionalist apostates have irreversibly tainted our once pure faith with their heretical sects. The time has come to codify the one and only form of Nightmare worship, free from such deplorable things as 'harmony' and 'socialism'.

The Lost Cause Myth
There was never a possibility for success under the republic or its predecessors. Both had imperfect dreams of an utterly ridiculous victory over their enemies, one without the wisdom of Ocean Spray to guide it towards success. With their passing it will be easy to propagate this notion to all loyal servants of the Nightmare and her chosen.

 Societal Engineering
After the collapse of two entirely disparate administrations, our vision for Chiropterra requires more than mere participation and mobilisation to be truly united in purpose and identity. We will make every effort to ensure the continuation of our ideals through the state and its many supporting institutions.

Charismatic Nightmareism
Unique abilities granted by the Nightmare are seldom spoken of in circles of worship, another of many gross evils that can be attributed to Ocean Spray's foolish predecessors. The truly faithful are made more than themselves by the Goddess with gifts that they must use to bring our true creed to all creatures! All hail her benevolent and generous majesty!

The One Quarter Law
There is much that differentiates a loyal Chiropterran from their rightfully acquired thralls. Our Warmaster recognises this and shall reform the Labourer system to reflect these truly separate species by allowing the freedom of Labourers only if they are of three quarters citizen blood, thus significantly expanding the pool of indentured workers over time.

Delegalise Miscegenation
In addendum to our laws regarding the potential freedom of Labourers, it is high time that we finally criminalised relations between true Chiropterrans and state property. The debauchery that takes place in quiet spaces between master and servant produces only unneeded workers, not true and loyal servants of the Nightmare.

Restructure The National Legionary Brotherhood
Our veterans have been very comfortable and well looked after following the mess that was made in our Warmaster's ascent into leadership. Though their debts are paid and we appreciate their service immensely, it would be remiss of the state not to remind them of who provides that comfort in exchange for a chorus of praise and some willing volunteers.

The Fidelii
Loyalty to the state is quantifiable via mass participation and enlistment in the armed forces, as well as general troop morale. With loyalty comes ruthless efficiency and incredible capacity in the face of foes, be they great or small. Rise, subjects of the Nightmare! Rise and fight!
|
The Prison Labourer System
For the duration of any individual's stay in prison, even if a citizen by blood, they shall have the rights of a Labourer and be treated as such. All shall work off the debt incurred by their crimes in service to the state, Ocean Spray and the Nightmare herself.

The Foal Scouts Of Chiropterra
It is the foals who will perforate Chiropterra's future society and politics and as such their lives too will be graced by the wisdom of our Warmaster. For them he shall create an organisation in which they may learn the undisputed truths of the world and their place within it, in addition to spending time with the National Legionary Brotherhood.

The Warmaster Of Chiropterra
Ocean Spray is now the unopposed master of Chiropterra and the guiding hoof to all internal affairs. All that remains is for his word to reach beyond our borders, to our enemies and any that oppose his regime. Warmaster is no longer an appropriate title, in his eyes. No, instead he shall create the title of Warmaster Supreme as the Nightmare's chosen.

Reorganise The Hoof
The LMRD remains a separate institution despite its close cooperation with the Hoof. There is a simple way to solve this obvious inefficiency: Creating a new organisation - the Chiropterran Intelligence Agency - with the knowledge, ponypower and resources vested in it from both establishments.
|
|
 The CIA
The CIA - Chiropterran Intelligence Agency - is an organisation founded by the greatest minds that many institutions of the state have to offer. Their skill, reach and ability is unparalleled in the world of espionage and their incredible list of connections would make any enemy of the state shudder.

International Nightmareism
Using groups of fanatics on an international scale to extend our reach has long been in the interest of Chiropterra, but previously the establishment lacked the ponypower and funding to achieve such. Now however, with the CIA and its immense resources from the coalescence of two infallible institutions, we may finally achieve our previously unreachable dream.

Integrate The Cults
As the very existence of the current regime proves, those pushed to the fringes of political importance can be immensely influential all the same. We must shake hooves with even the most outlandish and inexplicable sects of our brethren abroad and at home in our service to the Nightmare; the conversation on orthodoxy can come after we establish control.

Aristocratic Evolutionism
What is the responsibility of nobility and land if those that claim both sit and stay decadent when surrounded by change? Confidence in one's position begets the very idiocy that allowed Chiropterra to fall into the hooves of imbeciles and 'reformists'. Henceforth all nobles may have their holdings and position challenged in duels to the death!

Curtail The Privileges
Though the nobility are no longer so disgustingly idle, their responsibilities and subsequent influence in the governance of Chiropterra still make them a threat to Ocean Spray and his regime. It is necessary for them to relinquish some of their egregious powers in service of the Nightmare and her chosen Warmaster.
|
|
 Aristocratic Obligations
The aristocracy have long sat idle, letting the politics of our great state pass them by. Ocean Spray has dictated that this decadence shall not be tolerated. All nobles shall contribute to the state and all shall provide for its ponies. Never again shall any facet of Chiropterran society simply gaze as others build successes for them.
|
The Zuwena Legionary Reforms
Following the unfortunate passing of Silver Stirling, many necessary reforms intended for the legionnaires have been left to collect dust. Instead, a talented and loyal Chiropterran Zebra by the name of Zuwena shall conduct the necessary reforms in close cooperation with the Warmaster to whom he is the most faithful of friends.
|
|
The Reforged Legions
Zuwena's military reforms shall carry our great state to victory after victory. There was never a foreign force that could earnestly proclaim superiority over the legionnaires in war and now we can be sure that none will ever come close again.
|
Entrench Siege Mentality
Chiropterra is constantly under threat of hostile takeover at the hooves of foreign scoundrels and apostates; it is imperative that we always remain ready for a defensive war should our sovereignty, faith and way of life be threatened once more. We must be vigilant, lest our enemies manage to create for themselves even one advantage.
|
|
The Civil Defence Force
|
The Blue Moon Express System
Logistics has always been one of Ocean Spray's personal passions as a thestral who has spent the majority of his career in bureaucracy. Encouraging the mass motorisation of the armed forces should greatly improve the efficiency of the military's supply lines and will prove to be more than sufficient for modern warfare.
|
|
The Reforged Legions
Zuwena's military reforms shall carry our great state to victory after victory. There was never a foreign force that could earnestly proclaim superiority over the legionnaires in war and now we can be sure that none will ever come close again.
|
The ABC Fireteam System
Dividing infantry squads further into unique roles as part of a dispersed fireteam that functions over greater distances is a logical next step as the range of engagement continually increases. These teams will be able to provide one another with specialised fire support or cover, increasing their effectiveness to no end.

Airborne Strategic Coordination
Combined arms warfare is the natural evolution of the current three branch system through which to conduct warfare. Cooperation between these branches has already become commonplace and now it is time to develop proper strategies in order to maximise the effectiveness of that very cooperation.
|
|
|
Airlift Tactics
Though transporting materiel through the air has proven somewhat expensive and generally temperamental even at the best of times, it is nevertheless a strategy that is capable of supplying our troops both behind enemy lines and further afield. With design improvements and proper integration with ground forces, it will be an immensely useful tactic.
|
|
Airlift Tactics
From carts to trains to trucks and now to planes, the development of technology in the field of supply will always continue to advance. Airborne transportation of war materiel and resources for our troops is a natural advancement of current support strategy.
|
Anti-Tank Coconut Crabs
They are perhaps the most ridiculous yet effective anti-tank devices ever designed. As the name of the project would suggest, we have weaponised the famous coconut crabs by turning them into semi-mobile and - most importantly - inconspicuous land mines. All shall fear the terrible omen that the coconut crab will soon come to represent.

Venomous Agent X Implementation
There are few chemical weapons more potent than nerve agents and there are fewer still that can compare to Venomous Agent X. It is a subtle chemical upon deployment, but a very effective one on contact: Prolonged neuromuscular blockade, flaccid paralysis of all the muscles in the body including the diaphragm and then death by asphyxiation.

The Indomitable Legions Of Chiropterra
Our legionnaires are fearless, merciless and without equal. No apostate can possibly compare to the incredible power of Ocean Spray's unparalleled forces. No foreign military can oppose the Nightmare and her chosen, they can only fight for their lives in the vain hope that our impregnable legions may make it quick.

|
Economic Reactionarism
It was a grave mistake to allow for the decentralisation of the economy in the first place as it permitted wealthy individuals their own influences over the state and country. There can be no place for such challenges to our Warmaster's authority in Chiropterra and so their redundant industrial equipment is to be appropriated by the state.
|
|
Chiropterran Industrial Expertise
|
Centralise Military Production
State control over military industry is a necessity to ensure streamlined production of materiel that can never be interrupted by the failures of corporations and their markets. It is vitally important that we expropriate the weapons production of private enterprises and take control of the means to wage war for the survival of the state.
|
|
|
The Fair Compensation Act
It is only fair that loyal and dedicated citizens of Chiropterra receive their dues for a job well done. Ocean Spray has dictated that the minimum wage be increased to reflect his support for his hard-working citizens and to ensure their continued loyalty for years to come via private economic incentives.
|
|
 The New Moon Laws
It is imperative that we retain the support of Chiropterran citizens via state benefits primarily because it encourages cooperation with the state. Those who complacently abide by our rules or passively benefit from their new place in society will naturally gravitate towards supporting us, if only because they will lose those benefits without us.
|
Subsidise Large Families
If there is one thing Chiropterra needs, it is more Chiropterrans! Encouraging our citizens to have large families and many children is as simple as providing them with enough money to support such a large number of foals. Who will they thank when their offspring make them proud in their service to the Nightmare? Our Warmaster of course!

|
The Veteran Land Grant Act
Veterans don't like being looked after in homes or wards, especially if they're young. What they want is a pleasant retirement on a farm, somewhere quiet where they can do something simple and relax whilst contributing to our great state. Needless to say, Ocean Spray will give them the land that they want.

With the centralisation of many other facets of the state, the Civil Defence Force remains relatively untouched by Ocean Spray's guiding hoof. However, this too is soon to change.

The Moonburger Quality Control Act
The Moonburger, in spite of its quality in taste, is not a healthy meal. With this being said, it is imperative that we improve the nutritional value of such a popular food before it begins to negatively affect our citizens and soldiers. Ocean Spray's solution, as one that enjoys the many benefits of fast food, is to simply add supplements.

Economic Cartelisation
Collution between industries has often been seen as detrimental to an economic system. However, with the state in control of many said industries, it will be easy to manipulate the prices and availability of goods to perfectly control and maintain a stable economy via price controls and discourage external economic influences.

The Principle Of Cultural Rejuvenation
All this war and conflict has destroyed what the foundations of our nation is built on, and with all the anger and chaos going around, it's not worth rebuilding what we once had. It's time to move forward and build a new legionnaire spirit for all of Chiropterra.
|
|
|
The Batsby Edict
Our lunarist faith, the very core of our nation, has been shaken. With the collapse of the old order, many no longer trust the moonspeakers in their leadership of Chiropterra. So if we are to move forward, they must relinquish all of their temporal authority back to the state.
|
|
|
The Legionary Assembly
The soldiers of Chiropterra have defended it in the past, and will defend it again. They deserve a say in how the country is run so that the security of the republic is in the grasp of those who would fight and die for it.
|
|
|
The Senate and People of Chiropterra
The Senate will be the higher body of the legislature, along with the Legionary Assembly. It's members are beholden to few and are the wise equines of Chiropterra, the guardians of its institutions, and the mentors of Chiropterran democracy.
|
|
|
The People's Assembly
The People's Assembly is more directly accountable to the citizens of our nation, members have shorter terms and can even be recalled by referendum in drastic circumstances. Through them all creatures will have a place in our democracy.
|
|
|
The Magisterium Of Chiropterra
Magic is a wild and dangerous thing, especially in war time. With such a high unicorn population, we need a central body regulating magical studies within our nation. They will provide both patronage and discipline to practitioners of magic, and will assist the government in all magical affairs.
|
|
 The Chiropterran Magisterium
|
Embrace Cultural Pluralism
The Chiropterrans have been here for a thousand years but we were not the first, nor the last to come to this land. By embracing Zebra rites, Pegasus traditions, Unicorn folklore and Earth pony myths we have the chance to build a new identity; a home for all.
|
|
The Cultural Renaissance
|
|
Incentivise Chiropterranisation
It takes but one crack to bring down a dam. To move forward as a nation we must unite the nation. Seal over the cracks and divisions, lest the flood waters of history wash us all away.
|
|
The Cultural Renaissance
|
The New Tzinacatlia
For far too long we have treated Chiropterra as a temporary solution, a stopping point on our road back to Tzinacatlia. It is time we give this land the respect it deserves. This is our home, for us and all thestrals.

The Cult Of Nox Invicta
The removal of the Moonspeaker's authority has changed our faith, not destroyed it. The military still fights under the banner of the night and the flag of Chiropterra still bears her sacred image. By reminding them of the modern ways they can serve Nightmare Moon the state can reap the benefits.
|
|
Nox Invicta
|
Legionary Republicanism
Representation is one thing but local governance must not get out of hoof. By investing more power in the central government, Chiropterra can take decisive decisions as the situation changes without fear of being paralyzed by petty local politics.
|
|
 The Stirling Constitution
|
Primus Inter Pares And Princeps Of The Republic
The body of the state must have a head. Somepony to have the final word in the national debate. Stirling has more than proven his dedication to the republic's ideals and its citizens. He shall be first amongst equals, at the head of the table whilst also serving the nation.
|
|
|
The Tribus System
By placing the power of the nation in the hooves of the provinces we free ourselves from the fear of tyrants and dictators gaining influence whilst allowing for effective local action to be taken. After all, who knows the needs of our citizens better than themselves.
|
|
The Stirling Constitution
|
Courage And Discipline
The first duty of any government is to protect its citizens. Through hard work, dedication and force of will we shall keep our lands and our ponies safe. Chiropterra has risen once more into a nation we can be proud of.

"We are not now that strength which in old days moved moon and stars. That which we are, we are, one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

Provide Subsidies For Magical Academies
Magic, under the right conditions, can be of use to us. Chiropterra will ensure every unicorn filly and colt has access to the teaching they require. Through state sponsorship we can make the most of our magical reserves whilst ensuring the correct and proper controls are taught.

Expand The Vocational Education Act
As our republic is on the road to rebuilding, it's becoming more and more clear that the fillies of Chiropterra are going to be our hope. We need to guarantee that each and every one of them will receive a good enough education that they can grow up to make our homeland a better place.

Ensure Free School Lunches
Many families in Chiropterra have not yet recovered from the troubles and often can't afford to feed their children. This is a truly terrible reality, but there is something we can do to help. When children are in the care of the school system, we will feed and care for them. So that they can go home happy and fed.

The Publican System
By allowing those who qualify to bid for minor offices we generate valuable income for the senate. Building contractors, logistics suppliers, even the odd tax collector. It will also serve as reasonable practice should the holders decide to run for the senate. Surely such a system can't be abused.

The Chiropterran National Circle Of Magi
The most powerful magic users of Chiropterra should be gathered together to provide their skills and council to the Senate. The added bonus being it'll be easier to keep an eye on them should intervention be required.

Next Generation Warfare
The Legions of old are dead and gone, but we still have some of the world's brightest military minds to put to good use. We can figure out the way the currents are flowing, and adapt according to the new generation of war.

Subsidise The Automobile Industry
A modern army is a mechanized army. And thankfully the Chiropterran automobile industry has made a strong recovery in the past years, and they are more than willing to help us out with equipping our forces in exchange for some money in the right pockets.

The Selenic Automation Method

Magical Weaponry Implementation
Magical weaponry is a new opportunity to modernize the role that infantry plays on the battlefield. Without the need for conventional ammunition, platoons can do so much more than they used to carrying only their advanced magical rifles and crystal batteries.

|
Expand The Special Air Service
Stirling's own Special Air Service will play a large role in our military modernization. A core of fast moving, highly trained combat experts is invaluable to have in modern warfare, where capturing strong points and supply hubs is so important for victory.

Long Range Bombing Operations
If we can destroy enemy supply hubs, roads, rail lines, and manufacturing, we can cripple them before we ever meet their forces on the battlefield.

Full-blown Nuclear Capabilities
To defend our new republic, we must be ready to retaliate with full force if necessary. This includes the use of nuclear weapons. If we can be the first to attain them in Northern Zebrica, we can ensure the safety of our state forevermore.

|
The Lunatic Automotive Contract
We've contracted the Lunatic company to create for us a new titan of the battlefield. A heavy tank to rival any other armored vehicle on Zebrica and beyond, to crash through the lines of our enemies and show them the power and prosperity of our new republic.

Reorganise The Civil Defence Force
The civil defense force was originally created to defend tooth and nail against those who had subjugated our land. Now that our borders are secure, it will be reorganized into an organ of the army, providing auxiliary duties like repairs and infrastructure development, as well as still preparing a war to defend the homeland in case of invasion.

The Finest Military Force In Zebrica
Building upon the traditions passed down by our forefathers, we have created a new military for our state. One that stands up to the memory of the old legions in every possible way. And one that will never fail the people like the old legions did.

Nurture The Economic Miracle
Through careful management and good administration, we're making something special here in Chiropterra. The destruction of the Legionary state allowed us to turn our relatively modern industrial base from a system based on autarky to one more integrated with the rest of the world. For once, we have good trade relations with many of our neighbors, and things are looking up.

Infrastructural Modernisation
It'll take a lot of work, but we need to put the effort in to convert our infrastructure from one based on war, conflict, and national defense, into infrastructure for the sake of economic growth for all our citizens.

|
The Chiropterran Aurus
We aren't vengeful warriors looking to destroy Equestria anymore. That effort actively doomed us and destroyed the legions. But we can't move on until we abandon one last part of this legacy. Chiropterra still uses the pseudo-Equestrian Bit as its currency. It's time to ditch the outdated bit, and embrace our new currency, the Aurus.

The New Monetary Policy
|

The Banking Regulation Act
A new developing economy like ours is perfect for banks to sweep in and dominate. We need them to ensure the availability of credit, but we need to make sure they can't abuse our people and control our government and administration.

The Agrarian Reform Law
Also known as the "Land To the Tiller" act, this law ensures that any pony who works the land by himself, owns the land. By encouraging competition in the agriculture sector, farmers will need to offer competitive prices and quality, promoting growth in the sector.

A Titan Of Industry And Productivity
We can now once again brag about being one of the most developed industrial economies in all of North Zebrica. Through the grit and strength of our people, we have built something truly magical here, a titanic economy that can hold its own in the world at large, and a nation that will only continue to rise.

The Iztactepetl Nuclear Plant
Nuclear energy is undoubtedly the future of electricity. As scientists are beginning to realize the damage industrial growth is doing to nature, nuclear is showing itself to be the best candidate for "green" energy. Our first plant will be opened in Iztactepetl and will provide power to the whole of the nation.

The Moonburger Health And Wellness Regulation Act
While we in Chiropterra love our Moonburgers, some corporate holders have been encouraging less than ethical business practices to sure up profit margins. Such as using extremely unhealthy chemical ingredients. We need to ensure that all the food produced by Moonburger meets the highest standards of nutritional value and purity.
