Legacy of the Cockatrice War
Two years ago, the New Mareland Army Corps was truly humiliated in a disastrous 'war' against the local cockatrice population. Those birds turned over 100 brave [Root.GetAdjective] to stone and our own bullets and bombs caused more damage than the cockatrices ever did! Clearly we have much to learn from these mistakes. |
| |
New Mareland Military Pattern Trucks
Our army needs to modernise if we are to stand a chance in the upcoming conflicts. Trucks are essential to moving troops and supplies in areas without railroads. To properly standardise the production of motorised vehicles, we'll push a design for our own military trucks. This will allow mass production of trucks, the first step to a truly mobile army.
|
|
|
The Bits Gun
We have never had the resources of many of the world's larger nations so many of our firearms were imported from overseas, especially from Equestria. A locally developed and produced primary firearm would drastically cut the cost of arming our troops. We will collect and examine a collection of foreign guns we have acquired, to put together our own rifle, made to be efficient in both resource and labour cost.

[Root.GetEQCSunsetAcademyName]
The Military Academy at Sunset is our pride and joy. Its excellent facilities and teacher staff will train the next generation of Mareland's finest to serve us for a long time to come. Putting more funds into the academy here will certainly serve us well. If all our officers learn the classics of warfare, they will certainly learn from past mistakes.

New Mareland Army Catering Corps
They say a pony marches on his stomach. Then surely an army marches on a thousand stomachs. To make sure our army never goes hungry, we shall establish an official branch of our army whose job it is to procure food for the troops. The New Mareland Army Catering Corps will cater to all our soldiers' needs, so that they only have to focus on fighting the actual battle.

NMAC Spirit
The New Mareland Army Corps is special. Whether it be griffon bandits or hordes of wild animals, they face them with a laugh. We should embrace this spirit and let it guide our fighting ponies long into the future.

Hackhoof Shovel
The Hackhoof Shovel is a shovel design invented in the New Mareland. But it is much more than that, it is also our strategy for fortification and engineering. Rolling out these tactics to all our engineer companies will improve the speed in which they will be able to build field fortifications and other structures. This will surely help our army to stand its ground.
|
|
|
The Sentinel Project
The future of warfare is clearly the tank. Tanks are armoured weapon platforms that can outmanoeuvre the enemy. If we devote extra resources to developing new models and variants of tanks, we might gain a cutting edge in the battles ahead. With dedicated tank divisions, our armies will waltz over the plains victoriously. The griffons may have their knights, but New Mareland will have its Sentinels.
|
|
|
![[Root.GetEQCArtilleryName] icon](/wiki/File:Goal_national_artillery.png)
[Root.GetEQCArtilleryName]
Artillery is an old concept of warfare, but the increased complexity of the battlefield requires new tactics. Mobile warfare, massed troop formations and shifting fronts require expert management for the big guns. In order to effectively handle the use of our artillery, we will establish a new Command centre to assist with this.
|
|
|
![[Root.GetEQCMarineTechName] icon](/wiki/File:Goal_generic_amphibious_assault.png)
[Root.GetEQCMarineTechName]
We are a nation almost exclusively of islands and coasts. This means we need to expand the regiment that specialises in amphibious tactics. The marines are instrumental to our attack and defence strategies. They are a cut above the rest of the army and if we train and learn tactics to effectively use them during naval landings, we will be able to gain a foothold on any shore.
|
|
|
The Walkie-Talkie
In the few wars that have been fought, our troops have quickly come to appreciate the use of Walkie-Talkies. The short-range portable radios make coordinating attacks that much easier, with their continuous design process giving us valuable insights into electronics. By extending its use to most of our military, this new technology will prove useful in all branches of our army.
|
|
|
Unconventional Warfare
Our army has never been a normal one. From its unofficial beginnings when we first set hoof here, New Mareland has always been keen to adopt new and experimental tactics. We shall embody and embrace this fact. We are different! Let our enemies fear our unorthodox strategies. Thinking creatively might help us win, even if the enemy has more ponypower than us.
|
|
|
Section Zeta
The battle may be hard. It will bleed us 'til we are dry. The enemies will be arduous. But we shall adapt and we shall overcome. For the glory of New Mareland! The Special Operations Department, better known as Section Zeta, runs our special forces. They will see us through until the end, be it a sweet or a bitter one. |

Expand New Manehattan Harbour
The Naval Harbour at New Manehattan has served us well since the nation's establishment and served as our very first dedicated fleet hub. By expanding its dockyards and deepening the harbour, its output will increase. We will make sure our shipbuilding capacity is up to the challenges of the new millennium.
|
|
|
Commerce Protection
New Mareland exists of several islands and to defend our economic interests, we must allow safe passage of merchant shipping between them. To facilitate this aim we must expand our naval office to develop new tactics to keep our shipping save. We must be ready for the naval war that could come to our very shore.
|
|
|
Seawolves
Some daring ponies argue that our naval efforts should focus on the new tactic of the destruction of our enemies means of shipping and the transport of troops and materials. This will be accomplished by developing tactics and communications for our submarines. If we destroy the enemy transports the naval war will never come to our very shore.
|
|
|
Modernise the Fleet
Whether we go on the offence or defence, we must always ensure that our surface fleet is kept in top-condition. We should develop new models of destroyers and cruisers, that way New Mareland's fleet will always be a force to be reckoned with.
|
|
|
![[Root.GetEQCSubmarineFocusName] icon](/wiki/File:Goal_generic_wolf_pack.png)
[Root.GetEQCSubmarineFocusName]
We will form a dedicated branch of the navy that is concerned with submarines. The development of new models that can stay submerged for longer, with stronger hulls, torpedoes and defences, will help us on our mission to interdict enemy shipping.
|
|
|
The Merchant Navy
For the longest time, our Admiralty had the power to commandeer our merchant fleet in wartime. We will set up a separate branch of the navy that will deal with these issues. Its objectives will be twofold, increasing the tonnage of our merchant fleet, while also ramping up the production of the destroyers that patrol the coastal waters to protect them. We will win the battle against the submerged threat!

The Worbert Hoofup
The pompous Wingbardians think their fleet is better than ours. Hah, we will build battleships that will make the Regia Marina look like a bunch of rubber boats! This is a matter of national prestige.
|
|
|
Degauss Ship Hulls
Now that we possess a good understanding of submarine tactics, we now also know how to counter enemy submarines. A process called degaussing can weaken the magnetic field of metallic objects. If we degauss our ship hulls that will make it harder for torpedoes to detect our ships. The enemy submariners won't expect this little trick.

|
Naval Auxiliary Patrol
In order to defend our own shores from foreign aggression, we must establish the Naval Auxiliary Patrol. Its purpose will be to establish coastal defence batteries in and around port locations. This will deter foreign invaders and, in the unlikely case of invasion, drastically increase our chance of fighting the invaders off. As long as they cannot set hoof on our soil, they cannot conquer us.

Project Kununurra
Kununurra means 'Big Water' in a native griffon language. Using this word will proclaim our intent to dominate the seas and skies of the large oceans of Griffonia. The most effective way to control both are Aircraft Carriers, which will be a new focus for our naval development. It will be a huge investment, but even just one of these can project a staggering amount of power.
|
|
|
|
Secure the Middle Sea
Pirates, Wingbardians, sea monsters and the occasional hurricane think they control the oceans. They claim the Middle Sea as their own, believing we are too weak to contest their claim. This cannot stand, we will show all ocean-goers the might of our armada. And soon our Proud Naval Flag will be held in respect on every distant shore!
|
|
|
![[Root.GetEQCStratusSpringsName] icon](/wiki/File:Goal_AST_state_of_RAAF.png)
[Root.GetEQCStratusSpringsName]
To start modernising our airforce, we must first make sure we can control all our airspace. Stratus Springs has been chosen as the location for new airstrips. Attached to the military airfields will be a training centre for new pilots and to test new doctrines for large scale aerial warfare. This way we invest in the security of our airspace today and a better air force tomorrow.
|
| |
New South Bales Air Warning System
New South Bales lies but a few miles from Aquileia. They have resented our presence since the first ponies landed in New Mareland so long ago. In an event of attack, it is imperative that we have intelligence on enemy troop movements and plane formations. In order to achieve this, we shall install new radar systems near the straight to keep an eye on our northern neighbours.
|
|
|
Fighter Competitions
New Mareland is a nation full of innovators and on the aerial front Star Hunter is by far the most talented. On his own initiative he has held competitions for new fighter designs. These contests have resulted in blueprints that are very much ahead of their time. With the proper government funding for their ideas, we could gain an advantage over our opponents in the sky.
|
|
|
Expand the Air Defence Network
In the event of an aerial threat, our major cities will be the biggest targets for enemy bombing raids. In order to secure our skies, we must expand our weak air defence network to include up to date anti-air guns. With these we can secure the citizenry and important industrial centres from attack by air.
|
|
|
Long Range Air Patrol
One plane that turns up to the battle is more useful than a thousand planes that can't reach the mission area. Therefore we shall divert our research efforts into long range tactics for our air force. More efficient engines and the cutting of any unnecessary weight will mean our birds can fly farther on one tank of fuel.

|
Scout the Seas
Our possible enemies could very well outclass us out in the Ocean, posing a threat to our coastal cities. Now that we invested in better engines, it will become viable to cover the oceans with specialised naval strike craft. This will improve our spotting of the enemy fleets and give us a unique home advantage. This might just give us the edge we need to win the high seas for New Mareland.
|
|
|
Fly or Die
All of our citizens must know that if the air battle is lost, so is the war. We must have factories specialised for fighter production and fill them with eager mares and stallions. Every plane that rolls out of the assembly line is one step closer to victory. Likewise, every slacker brings us closer to defeat. If our workers keep them flying, our pilots will do the rest. All shall know the strength and glory of our Air Force!

|
United Air Command
Command and Control technology has progressed far enough that we can merge our regional commands into the United Air Command. Centralising the command will allow us to develop more complex air tactics and implement them across all our air wings while streamlining communications to allow for more rapid changes.
|
|
|
Fund Bombardier
Bombardier is a plan drawn up some of our radical air theorists. They posit that success in warfare is mainly based on industry. Therefore, it is imperative that we design aircraft to specifically target the enemy's production. This numbers approach to warfare was called 'cynical' by some commanders, who were afraid that it may lead to large civilian casualties. No matter.
|
|
|
Project Eldoran
On the island of Eldoran, far removed from the mainland and any prying eyes, is our secret weapons testing ground. One of the projects developed involve special propelled explosives that can be flown through the air and aimed at targets. This new weaponry could be used to launch long-range aerial attacks on cities and other installations without risking pony loss of life.
|
|
|
Industrial Support Fund
Our industry is lacking in many sectors, partially because of the current economic depression. Setting up a dedicated fund to help industrial development through strategic investment could prove to be a step in the right direction.
|
| |
National Census
The population of New Mareland has never been accurately determined. Up until this point, we made do with estimates and rough figures. Doing a full census of the nations population, listing everypony's birth date, occupation etc. would benefit us greatly in administrative matters.
|
| |
Littlehoof Small Arms Factory
The Littlehoof Small Arms Factory is the biggest private weapons manufacturer in New Mareland. Though a rather controversial business at the moment, it could become very important in the future. Investing into Littlehoof Small Arms and allowing them to establish more factories could be very helpful, should war ever come.
|
|
|
The Flare Plan
The prominent industrialist and economist Sunny Flare has proposed a plan for the development of new and more advanced industrial methods. This 'Flare Plan' would increase our industrial capacities in the long run, as it could significantly improve our know-how.
|
|
|
Expand the New Mareland Railways
New Mareland is a sizeable country, and infrastructure connections are notoriously bad, especially in the countryside. Increased funding to the New Mareland Railways could help to improve the general infrastructure all over the countryside.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
New Hoofington Steelworks
We have come across a sizeable deposit of iron in the area near New Hoofington some years ago. The iron is being mined, but it would be a good idea to construct large steel mills and smelters in New Hoofington proper, to allow us to make the most of the iron deposits there.
|
|
|
East-Side Industrial Expansion
New Manehattan has become an industrial and economic centre for New Mareland. The eastern outskirts located in New South Bales are underdeveloped, and could see a significant improvement to their industrial capacity, if we invest carefully and in the right projects.
|
|
|
Resource Reuse Act
Strategic resources are very precious, and we can't allow to let any of them go to waste. To this end, we should set up dedicated recycling facilities, and make sure that we exploit all our resources to the maximum.
|
|
|
Economic Recovery
After our recent Economic reforms, we have come far and have almost returned to levels of economic stability from before our economic depression. Let us finish our reform and end this depression once and for all.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Expand the University of Sunset
The smartest ponies of New Mareland have visited the University of Sunset, making it a valuable institution without a doubt. Further expanding its capacities and capabilities will undoubtedly aid us in recruiting additional eggheads from their ranks.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Glowhorn Uranium Mines
The Uranium Mines of Glowhorn have been established for some time now, though we have used only a fraction of the uranium, not knowing quite what to do with it. Now, our scientists have approached us with plans to use this resource for a weapon. A weapon of greater destructive capabilities than anyone has ever seen before.
|
|
|
The Griffon Affairs Act
Much of the land owned by native griffons is economically unproductive. If we can consolidate it and bring it more under government control, we can turn these barren locations into fruitful sites of industry and commerce.

National Defence Company
Through this new National Defence Company, we can make sure to retain more of our native resources for ourselves, as well as gaining control over more open land which we can use for expanding our industry.

|
National Mobilisation Act
New Mareland is a nation of peace and harmony, but with the dire situation around the world, we may soon find ourselves subjects of a cruel and merciless power. It stands upon every able-bodied New Marelander to be ready to defend our great nation and the New Marelandian way of life.

|
Every Little Helps
Our Ponies must realise that everything they do impacts the fate of our nation. No matter what, every small little bit helps us defend against foreign invasion.
|
|
|
Invest in Victory
Our Citizens must be rallied to our National cause of Defence. Investing in our Victory means investing in their Future. Together we are strong, together we will stand!
|
|
 Invest in Victory
|
Squash the Parasprites
New Mareland is a land of plenty, but we squander our riches like a devouring swarm of Parasprites. The ponies of New Mareland must learn that every bit of food and scrap of metal is vital for our survival.
|
|
Invest in Victory
|
Full Economic Commitment
It is time every New Marelander realised the importance he plays in our economic survival. From his labour all the way to his day-to-day diet, we must value all that we have and maximise our production.
|
|
|
Expand Conscription
We cannot survive on industry alone. Everypony, young and old, must stand side-by-side in battle for the salvation of our great nation.
|
|
National Mobilisation Act
|
|
Griffon Working Regulations
Not only our ponies must know the importance of regulation. It's time we imposed working regulations on our griffon minorities, as to truly maximise our industrial capacity and productivity.
|
|
Invest in Victory
|
Force Griffon Conscription
In the face of invasion, no creature, whether pony or griffon, can be allowed to sit idle. Griffons, too, must be forced to fight if needed, whether they want it or not.
|
|
The griffon minorities will not be happy about this. |
Negotiate With The Griffon Clans
With a bit of diplomacy, we might be able to make a deal with the various griffon clans. Griffon volunteers could help us expand the ranks of the army, without running the risk of upsetting the various griffons within our borders.
|
|
 Griffon Minorities
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. However, as of recently, the divide between the species has been lessened.
|
Transoceanic Support
While New Mareland has many great ponies and organisations to be proud of, Equestria still has the numbers over us. We should approach those who can assist our nation and offer them a hoof in friendship.
|
| |
|
Wonderbolts from Across the Sea
The Wonderbolts are Equestria's elite flying force, with only the best of the best being accepted. Setting up our own branch of the Wonderbolts will give every Pegasus serving in the air forces something to strive for, serving their nation with even greater distinction.
