Finish the Grover V Industrial Park
The Grover V Industrial Park is a free economic zone conceptualised by the economic ministers of Grover V and Count Ignatius Bronzetail. The goal of the project is to attract investment from Griffenheim in order to finance new factories in the region. The closeness of the industrial park and the loyalty of our government ensures the safety of investment while also offering easy access to Griffonian markets.

Liberalise the Bronzehill Banking System
The Bronzehill banking system was hit hard in the aftermath of the empire's decline, resulting in the defaulting of many branches. While there has been some recovery since the worst days, our banking system still rests on a rocky foundation. By liberalizing our banking laws, we can create a more attractive environment for foreign finance to enter and eject fresh capital into our economy and banks.

 Banking Reforms

Hire Imperial Experts
Bronzehill's industrial sector has lagged far behind much of the continent, owing to the mismanagement and poor expertise of the Diamond Dog administration advising its development. As such, our administration has requested help from Griffenheim in the hopes that our emperor will come to our aid and provide technical assistance to correct the damage done.
|
|
|
Nationalise the Grover V Industrial Park
The Grover V Industrial Park has not been a silver bullet to help kickstart our industrial revolution. Instead many of the plots remain barren and the few established firms either flounder or fail to make a profit. As such, many within our imperial administration have called on us to nationalise the industrial park and put it under state management until it proves stable and profitable.

Prop Up the Grover V Industrial Park
The Grover V Industrial Park has not been a silver bullet to help kickstart our industrial revolution. Instead many of the plots remain barren and the few established firms either flounder or fail to make a profit. As such, our government has begun to offer subsidises and grants to foreign firms willing to relocate to the park in the hope that it'll attract better equipped businesses who can generate a profit.

Establish a Unified Curriculum
While education is mandatory for all pups under the age of 9, the curriculum and quality of lessons can vary greatly depending on which region the pup resides. This has resulted in some towns and villages offering a subpar education which can even flounder in providing basic literacy. By creating a unified curriculum and hiring qualified teachers we can ensure a solid education for all pups to come.
|
|
|
Bronzekreuz Imperial University
Bronzehill is the only nation in the entire Griffonian Empire without a centre for higher education, resulting in many students having to venture abroad to complete their studies. The establishment of a proper centre of learning within Bronzekreuz would hopefully divert this brain drain and help to create a centre for research, scientific thought, and higher learning upon our very own soil.
|
|
|
Welcome Refugees from Clan Azar-Dun
Within the depths of the Diamond Mountain resides a clan of Diamond Dogs especially skilled at the building, maintenance, and development of complex electronics. These dogs are known as the Warlock-Engineers of Clan Azar-Dun. While these dogs receive substantial rewards from the tyrants of the mountain, many within their ranks still wish to flee to the safety of our realm.
|
|
|
BITE
The Bronzehill Institute of Technicians and Engineers was established in order to pool together the collective mental resources of our nation. The goal of this institute is to provide a venue for the collaboration of projects in the hope that it'll make the research and development of new technologies proceed quicker than before.

Form a Social Safety Net
Many of Bronzehill's citizens live in crushing poverty with the toil of their day to day life spent on nothing but the food, shelter, and resources to survive. In order to address this issue, our administration has earmarked funding for a generous social programme which will include housing, healthcare, and food subsidises for our poorest citizens.
|
|
|
Embracing Our Legacy
The extraction of precious gems and crystals has always been an integral part of Diamond Dog culture, dating back to the first of our clans. Our nation is no exception, providing the most lucrative crystal mines within the entire empire. While their production is already impressive, there is still room for expansion with the possibility of mines in Crownspike looking especially promising.

|
Subsidise Domestic Firms
The vast majority of Bronzehill's economic activity has been controlled by firms whose headquarters are located within Griffenheim and Mirabelle. While these firms prosper from Bronzehill's wealth, our own domestic firms have proved lackluster, failing to reach the same level of prominence. By subsidizing such firms we'd greatly benefit from increased domestic influence in economic affairs.

Bronze Oil
For the last 20 years, surveyors have stalked our lands in search of natural resources. During the course of their landscaping, these teams discovered a substantial reserve of oil and natural gas in Pinesshade. While currently free from development, a group of investors have pooled together their resources to establish Bronze Oil, a domestic energy firm which hopes to capitalise off our rich reserves.
|
|
|
Vereinigte Stahlwerk
For decades, the firms of the Griffonian Empire have set up steel mills in Bronzekreuz, using the regions rich supplies of coal, iron, and cheap labour to produce steel. Little of this remains within Bronzehill, with the bulk being exported while we are left in chronic shortage. To address this, our government has entered into a partnership with Diamond Dog investors to set a domestically operated enterprise.
|
|
|
Bronzehill Automotive Firm
Across the globe, the automobile has allowed for easier, quicker, and more reliable transportation of people and goods. Previously, the automobile was an oddity in Bronzehill, only accessible to those rich enough to import models from Griffenheim. With the opening the Bronzehill Automotive Firm however, it's hoped that the automobile will become all the more accessible.
|
|
|
|
Agricultural Grants
The mountainous geography and chilly climate of Bronzehill have made the development of agriculture rather difficult, putting us in a situation where we rely heavily upon the import of food in order to feed our dogs. However, with proper funding we can provide grants to firms willing to build irrigation networks and import modern agrochemicals into our nation, greatly increasing productivity.

A Bronzehill Industrial Revolution
The economy of Bronzehill stands triumphant as we enter the next stage of our industrial modernisation. While there is much progress to be made, we can look back proudly knowing that it was through our own blood, sweat, and tears that we have made it this far.

|
Make Goldtooth Economic Minister
Max Goldtooth is a renown economist within the Griffonian Empire who preaches a hardline liberal stance on economic affairs, believing that governments should provide little oversight over the actions of private firms. By offering him a position in our administration, it's hoped that he can make Bronzehill a lucrative investment for capitalists in Griffenheim and beyond.
|
|
|
Deepen Imperial Ties
Griffenheim has always been a reliable investor in our economy, bringing our nation from the brink of ruin to the state it's in today. We must once again go to the imperial court and plead our case, begging their excellency to come to our aid and strengthen the economic ties which have served us so well.
|
|
 Imperial Industrial Corporation
|
Attract Foreign Investment
By relying upon the capitalists and nobles of Griffenheim to finance our economic development, we severely constricted the supply of capital on which we could call upon. Our lands are rich in resources and our dogs willing to work hard for their future. We are a land ripe with possible investments and we should begin to cut deals based on profits and not loyalty to the imperial throne.
|
|
|
|
Expand the Grover V Industrial Park
What was once a floundering enterprise, on the brink of death, has become a success story with millions of bits worth of profits flowing into the coffers of Bronzekreuz and Griffenheim. The space offered by the Grover V Industrial Park has been completed rented out and there are calls to expand the industrial infrastructure in the hope of securing more firms and investment for our nation's development.
|
|
|
|
Industrial Reforms
Many of the inefficient and archaic bureaucracies which plagued our initial industrial revolution still linger to this day, offering a barrier to firms wishing to establish themselves in our lands. By removing many of the old guard within these agencies, we can install fresh blood and reform the organisations into something which can actually benefit economic development.

Right to Fair Work Act
The Right to Fair Work Act mandates that the goal of the Bronzehill government is to ensure that every Diamond Dog who is willing, is employed within a field which will provide them with the resources to live a fulfilling life. In order to accomplish this goal, the government will subsidise firms in order to ensure the opening of new positions and establishment of a living wage.
|
|
|
Underground Railroad
Diamond Dogs might have many shortcomings but our skill at taming mountainous terrain is matched by none. While other species struggle to build infrastructure upon mountains, we have learned to bury deep below them, laying our track and building our roads along the vast tunnel networks our ancestors have excavated for generations.
|
|
|
|
Adopt the Imperial Rail Gauge
There is one last hurdle that remains in the way of trade between our economy and that of the Griffonian Empire as a whole. This is the issue of our rail gauges. Due to our heavy use of subterranean trade networks we have adapted to smaller trains on thinner tracks. By retrofitting the rail lines of our southern lands, to the Imperial standard, we can more easily trade with our Griffon allies.
|
|
|
|
Deep Mountain Oil Reserves
Deep under our mountains lies lakes of vast oil. By building new oil wells deep into our mineshafts we can begin to harvest this black gold.
|
|
|
|
Hundburg Mine
The mountains of Bronzehill are rich in resources necessary to fuel our industrial revolution. However, new mines must be built to access these reserves. A promising location for such mines is near the village of Hundburg. Reports from prospectors in the region have generated a buzz amongst Griffenheim's investors and already requests have flooded in, begging us to lease these lands.

|
A Griffonian Industrial Revolution
The economy of Bronzehill stands triumphant as we enter the next stage of our industrial modernisation. While there is much progress to be made, we can look back proudly, knowing that it was through our unwavering loyalty to the crown and closeness to the empire that we managed to make it this far.

|
Defence Budget of 1007
Military funding has never been a very high priority amongst the ministers of Bronzehill, owing to the ethos of pacifism that both our government and dogs share. This had led to our military being severely outdated with equipment which is decades obsolete. However, with tensions rising on the continent it has become vital to begin modernizing our forces.
|
| |
Bunkers are Our Backbone
The limited scale of our military means that it can only engage meaningfully when on the defensive. Thankfully, the mountainous terrain of Bronzehill and the subterranean nature of Diamond Dogs have allowed us to develop an intricate system of bunkers within the mountains. With additional funding, these fortifications can be upgraded and better equipped for the conflict ahead.
|
|
 Underground Fortifications
|
Fortify the Lowlands
The lowlands of Bronzehill house the bulk of the nation's population, industry, and economic development. As such, it should be our upmost priority to fortify these regions in the face of foreign invasion, creating a compressive network of bunkers, fall back positions, and subterranean tunnel systems.
|
|
|
|
Fortify the Bellen
The Bellen River acts as a vital artery connecting our lands to Griffenheim. Along this river is the bulk of our industrial base, economy, and resources extraction facilities. If this artery were to be severed the imperial throne would lose an important source of resources for their war effort. As such, it's important that we centre our defences on this river and ensure that it remains open to trade.
|
|
|
War Plan Bone
War Plan Bone was first drafted in 976, by Field Martial Theo Kaza-Gull in the face of possible invasion from the east by River Federation forces. It calls for a rigid defensive line to be formed on the frontier by a vanguard force which will buy time to evacuate materials, resources, and divisions into the mountains of Highhill and Crownspike where they will fight a protracted guerilla campaign.
|
|
|
Challenge Our Ethos
Pacifism has been a core component of Bronzehill society since its inception, owing to the oppression many of our dogs faced at the paws of the Diamond Mountain military. While these traumas will take generations to be resolved, our borders are now immediately threatened. We must bend this spirit of pacifism in order to ensure the security of our nation.

Reopen the Bronzekreuz Military Academy
The Bronzekreuz Military Academy was opened soon after our independence, with Griffenheim using it to help foster a domestic officer corp. However, when it became apparent that our military would never grow beyond a self-defence force, the facility was defunded and shut down. Now, In the face of nearing conflict, it has become vital that we reopen this academy.
|
|
|
Expand the Bronzekreuz Forges
For decades, weapon production within Bronzehill has been extremely limited with only a few state operated factories producing a limited quantity of ammunition and licensed rifles. However, in the face of growing uncertainty, our government has earmarked funding to drastically increase the productivity of these factories in order to supply our growing needs.
|
|
|
|
Department of Research and Development
Modern war is a rapidly evolving creature, with the dynamics of conflict bringing about swift technological progress. Rifles, tanks, planes, and tactics all change on a year by year basis. In order to keep up with this field, our ministers have created the Department of Research and Development, a branch of the Bronzehill military focused on keeping us competitive in this regard.

Reignite the Bronze Forge
The Bronze Forge was originally designed to be the central armoury for all of Bronzehill's military needs. However, the limited scope of our army, and the lack of interest in exporting arms, meant the forge was closed in favour of importing arms from Griffenheim. However, In the face of our current crisis, it's become paramount to reignite the forges and produce our own domestic weaponry.
|
|
 Guns of the Bronze Forges
|
Mobile Bunkers
The Imperial Army has experimented with armoured warfare for some time, developing a few battalions of tanks to augment their forces. The effectiveness of tanks in warfare can not be understated. Of special interest to us are the heavier designs, which would help guarantee our defences with the ability to plug breaches in our lines with these mobile bunkers.
|
|
|
Mobile Artillery
The combination of a tank chassis with one of our phenomenally designed artillery pieces allows them to be moved under their own independent propulsion. By developing a vehicle which combines these two technologies we'd greatly benefit from increased mobility, allowing us to respond to situational developments with better flexibility and speed.
|
|
 Mechanised Cannons
|
Light Artillery
Our mountainous and hilly terrain creates an environment of many tight crevice and narrow ridges in which traditional guns could get jammed and bogged down. By investing in alternative materials and design methods we can slim down our weapons with only a minor reduction in calibre. These new lighter guns would then be ideally suited for such rugged terrain.

|
Heavy Artillery
At one time, the Bronze Forge had a reputation for producing truly impressive guns with calibres far larger than anything else in Griffonia. This reputation is just waiting to be reclaimed, under the ideal of building bigger, better, and more effective artillery. If properly deployed it could prove a decisive factor in strengthening our defences.
|
|

Guerilla Training
In the face of invasion, our forces are expected to retreat into the mountains of Crownspike. Fighting here will be based less on traditional methods of war and be more focused on hit and run, ambush, and guerilla tactics. As such, it's important that our forces are trained in the skills necessary to wage a successful guerilla campaign.
|
|
|
|
Bronzehill Corp of Engineers
The Bronzehill Corp of Engineers is a branch of the army which specialises in a number of niche combat duties such as maintaining vehicles, providing logistical services, and aiding in general engineering projects. By further integrating these units into our frontline divisions we would see improved communication and provision of services in the conflict ahead.

Bronzehill-Griffenheim Accords
The Bronzehill-Griffenheim Accords are a series of treaties rooted in the deep connection between our two nations. While these accords cover a variety of topics, one of the most respected is the accord relating to military cooperation. In it, our government is promised protection, cooperation between forces, and the freedom to buy imperial weapon designs.

Establish the Bronzehill Imperial Air Force
Diamonds Dogs have always been a landlocked species, unable to traverse the skies. Throughout our history that has put us at a disadvantage as the winged pegasus and griffons have struck mercilessly at us from the safety of the sky. However, recent technological innovation has allowed us to overcome our natural limitation and fight within the air as equals.

|
|
Richard Barker Doctrine
Richard Barker is a military theorist who claims that the focus of an air force should primarily be on providing air support to ground units. In order to achieve this goal, he claims that our air force should focus upon aircraft designed for close air support roles and the shorter-range fighters needed to support them.

|
Arthur Terrier Doctrine
Arthur Terrier is a military theorist who claims that the focus of an air force should primarily be on targeting enemy cities with bombers, dropping massive payloads on industrial targets. He states that the focus of aircraft development should be primarily on bombers and the long-range fighters needed to support them in the field.

Airborne Artillery
A bomb is very much like an artillery shell, being a mixture of high explosives and gunpowder wrapped up nicely in a metal casing. Both of them even rain from the sky, meaning they are virtually the same to the enemy unlucky enough to encounter them. Greater investment from our production resources into bomb building would see higher yields and increased reliability.
|
|
 Flying Artillery
|
The Bronzehill Aircraft Factory
In this era of modern war, it has become vitally important to finance the research, development, and production of aircraft for combat. To support in this endeavour our government has financed the construction of the Bronzehill Aircraft Factory, a facility which will specialise in the efficient construction of our military aircraft.

The 82nd 'Grounded Griffons' Battalion
The 82nd Battalion is a unit of some renown, known for its fierce devotion to protecting our border with Firtree. The griffon advisors attached the unit, claimed that these dogs could fight with the valour of a grounded griffons, garnering the unit its nickname. Recent developments in aircraft doctrine and design have finally given the 82nd a chance to return to the sky.
|
|
|
The Var-Silfur Research Facility
Var-Silfur is a town nestled in the mountains of Crownspike, being nearly impossible to access through conventional means. Our military has recommended that we construct a research facility here, using it to research experimental technologies while also being safe from the interference of enemy spies and saboteurs.
|
|
|
Far Woof Defence Network
Far Woof is the informal nickname given by many within Bronzehill's military elite to RADAR technology. While our use of the technology is rather limited, with only a few experimental units, advisors from our Griffon allies assure us that the mountains of our nation would be the ideal location to develop a long-range RADAR-based detection network.
|
|
|
Establish the Bronze Navy
Bronzehill requires superior water forces, it is time we establish our own Navy. Our military institutes will start working on developing effective naval vehicles while our army will begin training naval soldiers. It just the beginning of the glorious Bronze Navy.

Wolfpack Tactics
There is strength in unity, our army has weathered many conflicts with this ideology. It must be preserved even in unfamiliar for us naval combat. Special fleets will be dispatched, trained to move and fight like a pack of wolves. A single wolf alone does not stand a chance, but together, they can assail any foe.
|
|
|
Build Ship Forges
No weakness left behind. Our shipyards no longer meet the requirements for our rapidly growing navy. New and better docks must be constructed, they will host our forces and suit our every need. The docks will become our base of operation for our future naval expansion.
|
|
|
Destroyer Development
As a beacon of our accomplished firepower, the destroyers, our newest invention, will terrorise the seas in our name. Once we have sufficient intel and control over multiple areas, these ships will be the vanguard for continued assault. Our opponents will tuck tail at the sight of these monstrous vessels.
|
|
|
Run Silent, Run Deep
To get an edge on the enemy, stealth is often one of the best approaches. The submarines can provide us with this luxury. Our underwater ships will scour the vast oceans for us, we will run deep and silent, the ocean is our forest.
|
|
|
Cruiser Development
Sometimes we need infantry access to remote lands, and the means of transport are required. The military institute have pushed the designs of the first cruiser, it will be our line of passage to continue the land domination of our soldiers even across the distant water.
|
|
|
Imperial Inspiration
The Empire has been our beacon of inspiration for a long time, but now, they give us an idea, a plan how to further improve our fleet. We will replicate their tactics and expertise, and adapt them in our own strategy. Like an empire, we will be unbreakable and impenetrable.
|
|
|
The Bronze Paw Programme
The seas are a harsh environment, made even more foul by the presence of the enemy. To truly stand our as a force, we must be a veritable bastion in the waters. Our new programme, The Bronze Paw, focuses just in that. To set sail our new battleships will make our dent in the global scene of naval combat.
|
|
|
Naval Air Development
The navy is good in the water, that is why the air can be our advantage over the seas. The research on naval planes is going great, this will be our fount of power. With an air superiority established, our opponents will stand no chance against us, for we have multiple elements on our side.
|
|
|
The Hounds of Seven Seas
Our dog ferocity will be felt even across the waters. With our tools and equipment better than ever, it is time to put our souls into the fight. The special training of our troops and the tactics of the first order will make us truly a force to be reckoned with. Our opposition will tell terrified tales of the Hounds of the Seven Seas.
