Lore

Foundation and Growth

In 649 ALB, the first Equestrian traders, led by Coltlumbus, settled on the coast of Southern Griffonia and founded the colony of Celestia. Since then, years of immigration, colonisation and one-sided trade deals have resulted in the Commonwealth of New Mareland, a beacon of  Equestria on Griffonian shores.

While nominally still part of Equestria, New Mareland has its own government in the Commonwealth Congress and is subject to its own laws and regulations. The lax regulations in industry and employment laws, along with the valuable griffon market, lead to many Equestrian businesses setting up in New Mareland.

Black Wednesday

The New Mareland economy boomed, filled with ponies of adventure and drive, shaking off the Harmonic stagnation that plagued their sedate motherland. Even the collapse of the  Griffonian Empire in 979, which plunged New Mareland into a recession, didn’t stop their determination. Inspired by the battles of their troops against the exotic wildlife and challenges faced in a strange land, the ponies of New Mareland began to take pride in the New Mareland spirit, a unique blend of humour, optimism and stubbornness in face of adversity.

Traders turned away from Griffons towards Equestrian business, and speculative investors bought big in the hope of big payoffs in expanding exploitation of the unique potential of Griffonia on Equestria's behalf. However, it soon became obvious that Equestrian trade policy was turning inwards instead. On the 29th October 999, the New Manehattan stock market crashed. In what has become known as Black Wednesday, thousands of New Marelanders suddenly found themselves without a job and the nation's economy fell into turmoil. Many citizens turned to Equestria for help, but the homeland did little to help alleviate their problems, instead chiding them for their lack of regulations and carelessness.

A New Future

Many New Marelanders, now feeling abandoned by Princess Celestia, have begun campaigning for the Commonwealth to seek full independence. This is championed by several charismatic ponies such as Gladmane, Kingfisher and Duke Haygle. However, the newly appointed Governor-General Jet Set still maintains a solid power base in the Commonwelth Congress with popular support among the ponies of New Mareland.

With support from Equestria, he has his own plans to fix the nation and maintain the status quo. The imminent issue New Mareland has to tackle is the economic depression. While many have their own ideas on how New Mareland should recover, some are more extreme than the others.

Clouds of War

New Mareland is also a peaceful nation. If faced by a war the population will need to be rallied behind the cause, there is also a sizable griffon minority in the nation who will fiercely reject any idea of fighting in a "pony's" war.

However, New Mareland starts with a strong industrial base, particularly in its aviation industry. A strong Air Force, combined with a well dug in army, will be key in New Mareland's defence. The ponies of New Mareland find themselves in a crisis, and are surrounded by evil-minded nations in this foreign land.

Will they hold firm and survive? Or will these be the last years of New Mareland in its long history?

Starting Situation

New Mareland starts with a very small military force - 31k deployed ponies, and only 35k ponypower spare. New Mareland cannot get additional ponypower for a long time. It also has a token airforce of 24 early fighters and a functional fleet of 1 Carrier, 14 Destroyers, 2 Heavy Cruisers and 4 Light Cruisers.

Threats and Opportunities

•  Kingdom of Wingbardy:
  • The Kingdom of Wingbardy is one of independent New Mareland's main opponents in its expansion focuses. Wingbardy is a strong regional power and the head of the Karthinian Pact faction, meaning that any war between New Mareland and Wingbardy will be a challenge.
  • Supremacist Wingbardy's Demand New Mareland and Communist Wingbardy's Divide New Mareland will both provoke a conflict between Wingbardy and New Mareland. However, the latter scenario is quite rare, as it requires Aquileia to also be Communist and Communist Wingbardy to have chose to join them instead of joining Prywhen or seeking their own path.
•  Griffonian Empire: The continental power of Griffonia, the Griffonian Empire will sooner or later launch a continental conquest across almost all of Griffonia. While a non-expansionist New Mareland is spared from this continental conquest, an expansionist independent New Mareland might conflict with the Griffonian Empire.
•  Changeling Lands: Despite being an entire ocean and a continent away, loyalist New Mareland will be obligated to join the Great War between Equestria and the Changelings when it breaks out. Should Equestria fall to the Changelings, loyalist New Mareland will host the Equestrian government-in-exile, and bestowed with the duty of liberating and restoring Equestria.

Gameplay

Decisions

Public Works Projects

Loyalist, Jet Set, and Gladmane routes will all enable public works projects. These offer several special projects that take a large time to complete, but ultimately provide long term industrial bonuses.

• Hydroelectric Dam: -3% Consumer Goods, +10% Resource Gain Efficiency, +200 PP
• Shopping Mall: -5% Consumer Goods, +2.00% Weekly Stability for 185 days, +200 PP
• Nuclear Power Station: -10% Nuclear Research time, +10% Military Factory and Dockyard Output, +25% Nuclear Reactor construction speed, 2x 50% Research Bonus for Nuclear technology, +200 PP

Mining Projects

Gladmane and Kingfisher paths will unlock new mining projects, providing the following resources:

• 13 Steel
• 7 Crystals

National Focuses

New Mareland Focus Tree

New Mareland is a land of opportunity, depending on how the player wishes to handle their relations with their master, Equestria.

Remaining loyal gives you large bonuses to industry and research, and even gaining the possibility to act as the asylum for the Equestrian government should the homeland fall to invaders. Taking Patriation allows New Mareland to become a nation on its own, ready to take on the world on its own.

However before New Mareland can become a respectable nation, it must deal with the Great Depression and sort out the Griffon minority issues. New Mareland cannot field a proper military until war occurs, due to its blocks on conscription laws.

Loyalist Path

The loyalist path is in many ways the safest for New Mareland - maintaining Equestrian military protection, using Equestrian research bonuses and offering a shorter tree with some focuses that grant quick factories, it can be completed earlier than other trees, offering faster escape from the great depression.

Notable focuses include:

• The Royal Visit, giving a choice of visit from 4 different princesses, who can give 5k manpower, two 50% bonuses for racial tech, 75PP or +5% stability.
• The New Mareland School of Friendship and The New Mareland School for Gifted Unicorns both provide a research slot, offering a choice between relations bonuses for trading with Griffon nations, or racial bonuses to magical research.
• Transoceanic Support and Wonderbolts From Across the Sea, which provide the strongest bonuses to aircraft in the game, and Moondancer, a theorist with good research, magical and nuclear bonuses.
• Partners, not Puppets removes national spirit Equestrian Overlord.

Government in Exile

Should Equestria be defeated, a loyal New Mareland will have the option to take in the Equestrian Government-in-Exile. This will grant Celestia and Luna as figureheads, providing massive stability, and Equestrian advisors if you had not already unlocked them.

This focus tree is extremely powerful, but is not necessarily enough to defeat whoever beat Equestria.

These focuses grant massive boosts to stability and war support. They add resistance ideas to whoever owns Equestria, making their life more difficult whilst at war. They equip you with a set of dockyards and some heavy ship techs.

But most importantly, this focus calls upon the Magic of Friendship. Every neutral or Harmonic Government on Equestria, and the River Coalition, will join your faction, the Coalition of the Free. You will also receive elite hippogriff units.

Pray it is enough to retake Equestria.

Independence

Choosing the independent route starts a period of political campaigning, allowing the player to build support for their ideology of choice, depending if you take Let All Have a Say. Possible candidates are:

Jet Set (Harmony)

Jet Set, former Governor-General of New Mareland, will remain true to Equestrian ideals of harmony should he win the election, opening charities and solving New Mareland's economic problems, but not quite to the level of Kingfisher's radical ideas of wealth redistribution. This path also offers New Mareland a choice between allying with Aquileia or the River Coalition.

It is most notable for its +15% bonus to construction speed, diplomatic options, and bonuses to trade with other nations.

Gladmane (Non-Aligned)

Notable businesspony Gladmane offers a way to make New Mareland Great Again, by fortifying the borders and opening the banks to Griffon gold, giving them safety from any invaders. This branch notably gives good civilian factories, unlocks mining decisions, and dramatically reduces consumer goods. It also prevents joining other factions via the Neutrality effect. This path does not give a research slot.

Open Up Our Banks - Every industrially powerful (>14 factories) country that is in Griffonia and not Communist will receive the event to store money with New Mareland. This will grant -2% in consumer goods for both countries. For every country that accepts, New Mareland will receive an additional -2% up to -15%.

Kingfisher (Non-Aligned)

Popular governor of the state of Celestia, Kingfisher, promises to enact reforms that will make Every Pony a Princess and break up the corporate monopolies. This branch gives a lot of civilian factories and infrastructure, as well as boosts to stability. It can also access the mining decisions and foreign policy focuses.

In terms of foreign policy, Kingfisher can seek to join the Concordat of Free Nations led by the  Republic of Asterion. Kingfisher can get war goals on Communist countries in Southern Griffonia and the  Kingdom of Wingbardy. Kingfisher can get cores on North Scarlet, South Scarlet, Jojo Islands (default owner is  Sicameon) and Wrobert (default owner is Wingbardy).

Duke Haygle (Supremacy)

Duke Haygle believes in a firmer way of dealing with the aggressive Griffon neighbors, offering a quick buildup of the nation's armed forces and industry in preparation of war.

This tree is notable most for its construction speed effects - 10% from focuses and more from BNPL bills. Its research slot focus also offers -10% research time and its military focuses give a very large 25% bonus to max planning.

Build Now: Pay Later - These bills will give a large 25% boost to construction speed and -5% to consumer goods, but will consume PP whilst active. The effect can be extended, but each time they will consume more and more political power. If not enough political power is available, the effect will end and 20PP will be charged per extension. Declaring war or having war declared on will remove the BNPL bills and the obligation to pay them back. Civil wars do not trigger this effect.

In terms of foreign policy, Duke Haygle can choose to join the Karthinian Pact if the  Kingdom of Wingbardy is Fascist, or he can choose to form his own faction, The Silver Crescent. Duke Haygle can get war goals on Communist countries in Southern Griffonia, the  Kingdom of Wingbardy, and the  Duchy of Talouse. Duke Haygle can get cores on North Scarlet, South Scarlet, Jojo Islands, and Wrobert.

Duke Haygle can also take The South-Griffonian Free Trade Zone, which economically exploits New Mareland's subject states.

Picket Fence (Supremacy)

Picket Fence is a protector of the little pone. The common worker. With regulation and by taking the bankers down a peg shall New Marelands Economy prosper! By enshrining democracy shall they remain free! And by having separate but equal segregation for ponies and griffions shall their society remaining peaceable and proper!

This path focuses on economic recovery, decentralization of democracy to the little pone and, you guessed it, segregation! You will decrease the penalties of the Great Depression like any other path, receive free civilian and military factories, 1 infrastructure in every state, an extra research slot, buffs to daily politcal power gain, stability and war support, daily supremacy support, production efficiency growth and a recruitable population bonus.

Of course, all that comes at the cost of your recruitable population factor when you institute separate (but equal!) communities for Griffions and Ponies. You can cripple your ponypower pool further by deciding bats shouldn't be around either, but if you can tolerate the leathery winged monsters, you'll get bonus recruitable population factor, monthly population growth and a hit to stability. Deciding to ship them home where they belong essentially does the opposite.

In terms of foreign policy, Picket Fence's foreign policy is identical to Duke Haygle's, but he will not ally with the  Kingdom of Wingbardy and will always form his own faction.

Lufty Star (Communist)

The Communist path may take Mareland in an unusual direction and allows the player to join a Communist faction, or create one. An event will pop up where the player can resolve debates about the direction of the Communist party, and how they shall lead New Mareland.

After this is done, the player can progress down the focus tree. The tree focuses on getting rid of the Great Depression debuff along with integrating various racial groups including the griffion minorities and thesterals. Overall, this tree gives some decent buffs, including free civilian and military factories, recruitable population bonuses, recruitable population factor bonuses, turns the Griffion Minorities debuff into a powerful buff, an extra operative slot for your Intel Agency, an extra research slot, political power gain bonuses, stability and war support, decrease to war justification time, war stability modifiers, and extra building slots in all your states.

Taking the focus The Vanguard of the Griffionian Revolution unlocks two decisions that lets New Mareland join a faction:

• Unite With the Griffion Workers: New Mareland will ally with a Griffon Communist faction. The possible options are  Aquileia,  Wingbardy, or  Prywhen, assuming they are communist (and in the case of Prywhen, have won their civil war). New Mareland can only ally with one faction; Wingbardy is generally the optimal choice since they have a starting faction the others can join.
• United Ponies' International: New Mareland will ally with  Stalliongrad.

In terms of expansion, Communist New Mareland can get war goals on the  Kingdom of Wingbardy and the  Duchy of Talouse, and cores on North Scarlet, South Scarlet, Jojo Islands, and Wrobert.

Industrial Tree

The industrial tree is essential to New Mareland, as it will unlock new Conscription and Economy Laws. New Mareland is locked to Volunteer Only and Partial Economic Mobilization.

Industrial Support Fund and National Census paths contain a series of basic industrial focuses with new factories, infrastructure and research bonsues. Most importantly, it is one prerequisite for Economic Recovery, which will remove the Great Depression and unlock Full Economic Commitment, which will allow full change of economic laws.

Defense of the Commonwealth Act is a critical focus that locks the right third of the industrial tree. It is only unlocked if New Mareland is at war, world tension is over 20%, or if the Fascists or MARESOC have taken control. Under this side of the industrial tree is the focus National Mobilization Act, which will unlocks conscription laws; it requires New Mareland to be at war or no longer harmonic.

Griffon Minorities

New Mareland has 4 focuses in the industry tree to deal with the Griffon problem. Only 2 can be taken, and the adjacent focuses cannot be taken. Some of these focuses will be unavailable in certain political paths, as the Griffon issue is also addressed by some political focuses in these paths.

• Griffon Affairs Act: Grants several building slots. It can be taken earlier than other focuses due to not needing the National Mobilisation Act. Arguably these are the worst bonuses in exchange.
• Griffon Working Regulations: Further improves the Invest in Victory national spirit, for a respectable 5% production output, -2% consumer goods and +5% resource gain efficiency. Only available in certain political paths.
• Force Griffon Conscription: Removes the Griffon Minorities national spirit, but angers the griffons. Griffon bandits will begin a series of raids on your factories. Only available in certain political paths.
• Negotiate with the Griffon Clans: Modifies the Griffon Minorities national spirit by partially reducing the conscription malus. Unlike Force Griffon Conscription, this will not upset the griffons. Only available in certain political paths.

Politics

National Spirits

Great Depression

• Consumer Goods Factories: 20.0%
• Stability: -10.00%
• Factory Output: -25.00%
• Dockyard Output: -25.00%

With the fall of the old Griffonian Empire, the economy of most nations on Griffonia was hit hard. New Mareland suffered especially, mostly because of investors and businessponies selling most of their shares in New Marelander companies and assets on a single day, causing the economy to crash.

Griffon Minorities

• Recruitable Population Factor: -25%

There are many Griffon minorities all over New Mareland, some of them immigrants, some of them natives. This has caused some issues, as many view their presence as...disruptive.

Equestrian Overlord

• Daily Political Power Gain: -0.50
• War Support: -10.00%
• Research Speed: -15.00%

The Commonwealth of New Mareland might be divided from Equestria by a long stretch of sea, but they still exert considerable influences on our politics and industrial development. Their decisions are not always in the best interest of our nation, and a loud minority of our citizens have expressed the need for this situation to change, preferably for the better.

From then, she became enamored with the idea of introducing socialist values to New Mareland ever since. Her drive and action have resulted in the former Governor-General declaring that the ponies have spoken. Since then, she leads New Mareland in her vision of the Stalliongradian socialism.
Duke Haygle		Fascism Supremacy MNRFPNew Mareland Republican Fascist Party	Demagogue Daily Political Power Gain: +0.1 Recruitable Population: 0.5% War Support: +10%	Former army general turned politician, Duke Haygle is a strong believer in the maxim of might makes right.

Believing that the other candidates won't lift a hoof to help the truly needy, Kingfisher campaigned for the office on the promises of redistributing the wealth centered in conglomerates and corporations.

Confidently proclaiming that he would lead New Mareland one day while a page in the New Mareland Assembly, he made his way through the politics of New Hoofington, establishing a name for himself as a hardliner on the topic of griffons. While never veering into the rhetoric that others might have done, his statements created a split in his party between the integralists, led by Hagyle, and the Hard and Pure, led by Fence. Nevertheless, Hagyle found himself outmaneuvered and consigned to irrelevancy in the dustup that happened after Patriation, which left Fence as the only leader of note in the party. And now, he has a goal. Segregation Today, Segregation Tomorrow, Segregation Forever

She also leads one of the largest industrial corporations in New Mareland, alongside having a degree in economics. Sunny Flare is also a known high ranking member of the Shadowbolt Society, with the wealth and connections that one in such a position would have.	150

Has not completed national focus “Destroy the Shadowbolts”	AI Modifier: Focus on War Production: +10% Military Factory construction speed: +10% Dockyard construction speed: +10% Fuel Silo construction speed: +10% See description: Said to be one of the most influential ponies behind the scenes in the country, Sour Sweet at face value seems like an ordinary pony. Many who first meet her say they appreciate her ability to always call out when somepony makes a mistake, though they also note her heavy bipolar personality that shifts between being sarcastically rude and obnoxiously nice. However, Sour is not only just a magnate in the arms industry, but is also the chairpony of the Shadowbolt Society, meaning that little gets done in New Mareland without her knowledge.	150

It along with years of experience has made her an expert in keeping both anypony she needs to in line, and making sure they are doing exactly what they need to do with almost cold efficiency. It is little wonder why she is also a high ranking member of the Shadowbolt Society in New Mareland.	150

Quite the opposite, as she is a major socialite seen at many important parties all across New Mareland, whether they be for high society or just the newest popular song release. This has made her well-known in all parts of the political and economic spectrum, giving her connections that few others possess, though Lemon herself rarely utilizes them.	150
Wallflower Blush	Backroom Backstabber	None	Subversive activities cost: −25% Ideology drift defense: +25% See description: Wallflower Blush is a curious pony among the cabinet of New Mareland, mostly because very few remember that she even exists. Even with her important role in the bureaucracy of the nation, her actions and even her job go completely unnoticed by almost everypony, leading to her ability to surprise them all even with her mere presence in a room. If there is dirt or any kind of information needed on a pony, she probably has it, and only because the pony in question likely forgot she was there when they said it.	150
Juniper Montage	Silent Workpony	None	Political Power Gain: +15% See description: One of the most ambitious ponies in New Mareland, Juniper Montage made her way to where she is today through pure hard work and effort, being not only resourceful but also desperate to prove herself to others around her. That motivation continues to drive her now, doing her best to make sure the country runs smoothly and does whatever it needs to do. The only thing holding her back is her poor social skills, though she has been known to connect with others from time to time, especially with those who share her passionate enjoyment of the Daring Do book series.	150

She had even encouraged him to do so, believing that it would both be a fresh start for both of them and that it would be his chance to prove himself as more than just a typical socialite as many were assuming at the time. Upper Crust shares Jet Set's steadfast belief in Harmony and a brighter future, and consistantly works with him to ensure that he can be as successful here as he once was back in Canterlot.	150

Despite his past, he does show skill in being able to smooth any ruffled feathers and keep any diplomatic situation under control.

Groomed for the role, he inherited the position from his father, and while snobbish, does his job well. His lack of talent in other regards, however, has kept his position both in the government and in the Shadowbolt Society he is a part of relatively minor.	150
