Consolidate Our Forces
Our army is in disarray, the command hierarchy is a confusing bind, we cannot even agree on the style of our uniforms. It is time to bring order in our land forces. Painful, but necessary.
|
 Ongoing Army Reorganisation
A series of reforms is being put into action to improve our outdated military. Until it is completed, the command structure will be temporarily disrupted.
| |
Army Reforms
Modern militaries require contemporary structures, and ours is quite outdated. Let us begin our reforms from the basics.
|
|
|
Officer Cadres
Our forces could benefit from new leadership in the field. Our officers have grown content and stagnant in their role, leading to decreased army performance. Let us reverse this trend.
|
|
 New Officer Cadres
Newly promoted officers are refreshing our stagnant military doctrine, giving us a temporary edge on the battlefield.
|
Military Radio
The radio, as an invention, is rather widespread in Cyanolisia, brought by Wingbardian traders, but we do not have the means to produce our own. The military is interested in adopting it for their own use, but we must first reverse engineer the technology to fulfill our requirements, particularly in encrypting radio signal frequencies.
|
|
|
Form Sailor Brigades
In the past, the Imperial Southern Fleet had its home port in our capital of Thymíaustadt. Today, the Southern Fleet is long gone, although many of its erstwhile sailors still remain in our country. They are dispossessed yet able-bodied and well-trained griffons, and so we will arm them and organise them into landbound brigades to serve and fight once more.
|
|
|
Military Logistics
An army marches on its supplies, and with the situation in Cyanolisia, foraging cannot be relied on at all to provide necessary items for the troops. A dedicated logistics squadron will be formed to support our brave soldiers.
|
|
|
Army Command Office
There is more to leading than pointing your weapon at the enemy - our officers and generals must have a centralised commander centre where they can plan our operations in the theater. While it is true that a plan never survives first contact with the enemy, we can at least try to minimise the danger for our regular troops.
|
|
 Armeekommandoamt
Instead of being decided on the field ad hoc, orders are now planned and given from a centralised military headquarters.
|
The Army Construction Corps
In times of war, we cannot completely rely on the civilian sector to provide timely construction, repairs and everything else our forces might require in their operations. Thus we have seen fit to raise a specialised corps to handle this sort of predicament.
|
|
 Armee-Bauabteilung
The armed forces now command their own construction corps, waiting to fulfill any building or demolishing task they might require in the field.
|
Knightly Heavy Infantry
The gallant spirit of the knights has never died out! With proper training and equipment, they shall be able to handle any obstacle. It just might be a suitable replacement until we can get our armoured vehicle production up and going.
|
|
|
Rocket Science
Jet engines and rockets are promising a new age in warfare. Although we can currently only produce experimental prototypes, with enough funding we can propel ourselves to the future and ahead of our rivals.
|
|
|
Military Engineers
In order to effectively wage war, we require pioneers and sappers. These brave griffons will build fortifications, clear areas from danger, and erect temporary bridges. The physical environment will be theirs to shape.
|
|
|
Small-Arms Modernisation
The troops have been complaining about having to use outdated firearms for a while now. We've heard their concerns, and we shall commence designing a more contemporary rifle for the rank and file soldier.
|
|
|
Artillery Modernisation
A routine inspection of our ordnance supply has revealed various faults at claw, such as defective pieces, usage of outdated models such as demi-cannons, and lacklustre training on the soldiers' part. It would be best to make our current priority bringing order to the artillery battalions.
|
|
|
Army Motorisation
Efforts shall be placed into improving the mobility of our armed forces. But to commence with our plans, we first require a reliable vehicle to carry troops and supplies.
|
|
|
Mountain Guns
Artillery wins wars, but deploying it on hills and mountains is a fool's task. Efforts must be placed into designing more managable, smaller ordnance pieces that can handle rough terrain without sacrificing their accuracy and firepower.
|

|
Armour Workshops
Although the industry required to mass produce armoured vehicles does not exist in Cyanolisia currently, it would still be wise to place a portion of our budget into researching tank designs, so that we do not remain too far behind other, more modern nations.
|
|
|
Magical Weapons
Reports of firearms that utilise magical crystals as ammunition have been dismissed as a delusion, but a recent breakthrough from our scientists have made them a reality. Although they currently suffer from reliability issues, we are confident that we can improve them until they completely replace regular rifles.
|
|
|
Army Doctrinal Modernisation
The outdated doctrine we inherited from the Griffonian Empire is no longer optimal for our strategy. Our theorists will begin researching and experimenting with new tactics and options.
|
|
|
The Army Research Division
The armed forces require specialised research facilities and equipment that simply cannot be trusted to the civilian sector. With issues like bureaucracy and funding out of the way, these scientists will focus exclusively on improving our armies in every possible aspect.
|
|
 Armee-Wissenschaftsabteilung
The armed forces have been given several research facilities that will focus exclusively on the development of military hardware. As their research is considered a top secret within the nation, foreign intelligence services will have a much harder time determining our technological progress.

|
Army Pilot Training
Operating an airplane is a strenuous task, and we must ensure every recruit for the airforce receives proper training so that their performance in the field is not diminished. The number of volunteers for the new air branch is vast, but only the best will be admitted.
|
|
|
Build Airstrips
Planes require an extensive amount of space to operate properly. Fortunately, we own plenty of empty fields which are more than suitable for the construction for hangars and airfields.
|
|
|
CAS Effort
Airplanes bring a new dimension to warfare, giving us options that were previously unavailable. For example, a sturdy fortification or trench can now be assaulted by aircraft carrying explosive payloads, saving many lives of the regular troops. Thus it is imperative that we develop these airplane designs as well, and put them into production.
|
|
|
Fighter Effort
Theorists are suggesting that the most important battles will not be waged on land, but rather in the air. The one to control the skies will control the outcome of the war, and if we wish to be the victors, we require a dedicated fighter plane to maintain dominance of the skies.
|
|
|
Air Auxiliaries
Griffons are at their natural in the sky - thus it is only fitting we make use of our talents to improve the performance of our airplanes. Better training, more air bases, there is plenty of room to expand our options.
|
|
|
Bomber Effort
Once the control of the skies is secured, we can move in with the second wave of attack: bombers. These large, durable planes will carry a destructive payload, and they shall reduce any obstacle, be it bunkers, cities or even naval warships to flaming wreckage. This will secure our victory.
|
|
|
The Army Aviation Corps
With the growing progress of our air corps, we now find ourselves in need to create a dedicated training and housing facility for all our pilots. There, they will receive the best training we can afford, ensuring their skills stay sharp and chances of any accidents will be minimised.
|
|
 Armee-Luftfahrtkorps
A dedicated aviation corps has been formed to ensure every promising pilot in the Cyanolisian airforce gets the best training they can get, given our available resources.
|
Panzer Modernisation
Initial results of the armoured vehicle program has been very promising, and we are confident that should it receive some dedicated funding, we can create a model that will be ahead of its time. Cyanolisia needs every advantage it can get.
|
|
|
Build the Coastal Railway
The first step in furthering our meagre industrial base is to connect our coastal cities by a modern railway. Transportation of goods and griffons will become much safer and quicker, no longer troubled by the marauding bulls.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Develop the Coastal Towns
There is plenty of unused land available for construction of new factories, military bases or simply more homes for our people. We should purchase this land for our future projects.
|
|
|
Satellite Manufactories
The city of Thymíaustadt is our most prized jewel, certainly, but we cannot develop it exclusively at the expense of others. See to it that our other coastal cities of Salmarkt and Auropallieta receive funding for their new industrial designs as well.
|
|
|
Support the Horst Trading Company
We have come to rely on a number of trading companies that have set up their base of operations in our prized cities. The largest and most profitable of these, the Horst Handelsunternehmen, can offer us just what we need, for some concessions and funding. We'd be wise to become their patron.
|
|
 Horst Handelsunternehmen
The most prestigious and funded trading company in the Cyanolisian cities, the Horst Handelsunternehmen have their claws in every piece of the pie. Their influence is large enough that they are able to secure superiour foreign firearms for a fraction of its cost.
|
Sponsor the Auropallieta Dockyards
To protect our homeland from the hated minotaurs, we must expand our existing naval capabilities, so that we can construct more ships and screening vessels. This will come at the expense of other opportunities, but it is the grim reality.
|
|
|
Sponsor the Port of Salmarkt
Although Salmarkt has only recently been passed to our care, its location has been very profitable for our trading business. Nogriff can object towards having more money, and thus we shall expand the shipping capabilities of the Salmarkt port.
|
|
|
Horst Oil Refineries
The Horst Handelsunternehmen has come up with a yet another brilliant idea for solving our lack of strategic resources - synthetic oil and rubber refineries. By using only a small portion of the actual resource, we can ease the demand and produce decent replacements. All they ask in return is a plot of land and a cut of the profits.
|
|
|
Develop Thymíaushafen
The Thymíaustadt harbour could use an expansion. We have already located good areas to build new wharfs, piers and docks. We only need to start working.
|
|
|
The Tarmuth Arsenal
Cyanolisia lives and dies based on its firearms. For a long time, we could not produce new weaponry or even purchase from abroad. Now, however, we can correct that, and dedicated firearm factories in our industrial satellite of Tarmuth will ensure every soldier has their gun.
|
|
|
The Thymíaustadt Steelworks
Steel is a vital resource for the production of almost everything we require, be it buildings or weapons. As such, it would be prudent to expand our existing steel mills into something that can produce an actual difference for the state.
|
|
|
Oil In the Outback
The griffons are rightfully frightened of the outback, but we cannot completely ignore it. A rather bold surveyor has located oil deposits in the jungles of Cannabia, and its location is relatively easy to access and protect from the cow tribals. Every bit helps, certainly.
|
|
|
Cannabia Special Industries
Would you look at that. Following our success in securing the oil well, we have uncovered a deposit of rare magical crystals. While we currently do not have a practical use for it, we know plenty of others who do, and would pay a pretty coin for them. A factory will be opened to process this new resource, as well.
|
|
|
Naval Institute of Science
The researchers are promising great advancements, but their facilities and funding are insufficient for their grand designs. Given their previous successes, we see the merit in their plea. The results will quickly follow.
|
|
|
Steelworks Expansion
The new steelworks are already producing much, helping our efforts, but there is more we require than just plain steel. Additional plants for the processing of the more rare metals will be commissioned and built, both in our capital and its satellites of De Aguilar, Tarmuth, and Espelho Mar.
|
|
|
Modern Computing Machines
The bright future lies within electronics, in these complicated machines that can replace the work of dozens. With these "computers" focusing on menial tasks, our research base is free to handle more pressing concerns, improving our knowledge at large.
|
|
|
The Thymíau RADAR Tower
The splendid new invention called RADAR will change much in the future of warfare. After all, knowing where the enemy is at all times is an invaluable knowledge, and we should aim towards improving this technology.
|
|
|
Construction R&D
There is more to building a house or digging a mine than just raising support beams and ensuring the floor is even. Yes indeed, we shall aim towards combining our existing building methods with modern tools and vehicles. It will considerably improve our progress.
|
|
|
The Bright Future in Science
Despite our many difficulties in achieving progress, our hard work has paid off and now we reap the benefits. Our griffons are brighter and more productive by the day, and this is reflected in the increased amount of population capable of handling more demanding tasks. Three cheers for Cyanolisia!
|
|
|
|
Expand the Thymíaustadt Docks
The Thymíaustadt piers are in a rather decrepit state. In order to restore the glory of the old Imperial Fleet, we must repair these docks and construct additional ones.
|
| |
Reform the Admiralty Office
The ad hoc arrangements which managed our navy are no longer acceptable. We require a properly trained secretariat, which will consist of griffons who are knowledgeable in all matters naval, instead of admirals and officers too old to walk the quarterdeck. This will drastically improve our fleet's performance.
|
|
 Admiralitätamt
The state of the navy has been long in disarray, thus it fell upon the rulers of Cyanolisia to reform existing naval command structure into a centralised location from which all orders and plans will come from.
|
Sponsor the Horst Shipyards
The ever reliable Horst Handelsunternehmen has an another great offer for us: they'll build new shipyards in exchange for tax concessions. With our pressing need to rebuild the fleet, we can afford the smaller yearly tax income.
|
|
|
Rebuild Our Navy
With preparations completed, the actual work can now begin. The waves will be ruled by Cyanolisia once more! After the lengthy construction period, of course.
|
|
|
Screening Ships Effort
The smallest warship class, destroyers are excellent for scouting and hunting down submarines. Since it will take a considerable amount of time before we can build larger ships, it would be best to modernise our dated Imperial designs.
|
|
|
Cruiser Effort
With destroyers acting as our screening vessels, cruisers of both light and heavy variant can act as a stopgap before we can develop larger warships. They can supplement our patrol forces, as well.
|
|
|
Raise the Austernfischer
The flagship of the erstwhile Imperial Southern Fleet, the Austernfischer was sunk just off the shore of Thymíaushafen by a Asterionese bomb which blew a hole in its hull. This was years ago, when Asterion seceded. Today, with modern salvaging techniques at our disposal, we can attempt to refloat the sunken battlecruiser, which will make a fine addition to our fledging navy.
|
|
|
Capital Ships Effort
We finally have the means and funding to begin the construction of largest warships - but first we require a reliable design. Lessons learned from the Austernfischer's model will considerably aid in this endeavour.
|
|
|
Submarine Effort
Submarines are undoubtedly going to be the turning point in naval warfare. No ship, no matter how heavily armoured, will not be safe anymore. Our enemies' trade lanes will be under constant threat. All we require for this is a working model.
|
|
|
Form the Aeronaval Corps
The future of warfare clearly lies within beautiful coordination of carriers and adapted airplanes. We shall commence forming a corps specialising in this endeavour.
|
 Armee-Luftmarinekorps
Advances in naval thought, especially in the viability of carrier ships, has given the Cyanolisian admirals a reason to establish an aeronaval corps, which will prepare the sailors for the new generation of naval combat.
| |
Carrier Effort
Some of our admirals believe warships are a dying breed in the new millennia, and that we should focus on converting our hulls to carry airplanes. They argue that should these carriers be well protected by screening vessels, they can damage enemy ships before they can retaliate, forcing them to retreat. We see wisdom in this thinking, and we shall focus on building our first carrier designs.
|
|
|
Carrier Construction Facilities
With our first carrier blueprint finalised and approved, we can commence construction. But first we require an expansion of dockyards - Thymíaustadt has room for an another pier. Additionally, rare metals will be imported to smoothen the construction of this new warship, so that we don't end up forced to use inferior replacements.
|
|
|
Seaplane Designs
Airplanes require vast modifications in order to be able to use carriers as a launching pad. Existing models will be experimented with until we can find a satisfactory balance of firepower, range and weight.
|
|
|
Form Seebataillons
Cyanolisia lives and thrives by its long coast. It can be said that the griffons here are quite familiar with the sea - and this is our logic behind forming the Seebataillons. A specialised force adapt in amphibious warfare, to lead the assault on the enemy's beaches.
|
|
|
Naval Assault Effort
Preparing a naval invasion is a difficult task - it requires extensive planning and coordination. We have identified the key faults in our planning, and we shall focus on correcting them. This ensures should we require to stage a naval assault, it will proceed much smoother and less good griffons will die.
|
|
|
Form Naval Paratrooper Battalions
While sceptic minds regard the parachute as something that a griffon clearly does not require, we recognise that a soldier, no matter how fit and trained, cannot be expected to lumber heavy equipment while flying. Training specialised battalions in parachute operations will expand our tactical options on the field.
|
|
|
Torpedo Cruisers
Torpedoes have proven themselves to be a very effective weapon, submarines and destroyers are rather fragile. This means that despite their armaments, they cannot guarantee a successful hit on an enemy ship. We've gathered our expert naval theorists to come up with a new warship design, that will exclusively carry a torpedo payload.
|
|
|
The Conference at Salmarkt
Stranded for decades in this hostile outback land, we have persevered. But it was not without difficulty. Vengeance driven beasts, the minotaurs threaten to overrun all we hold dear. The Countess has decided to hold a meeting with the highest ranking commanders in Salmarkt, in order to decide our future course of action.
|
|
|
The Group of Twenty
A group of officers within the Cyanolisian military has been dissatisfied with the nation's state for a long time. Despite the vast spectre of ideological differences between them, they've put aside their quarrels and agreed on one thing: the current regime must go, and a socialist utopia will rise from its ashes.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Form Sailor's Committees
It is imperative to secure the support of our seagriffons. Having the navy on our side could make all the difference should internal strife occur, but we might also be able to seize leadership without any blood spilled.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
This will ensure that the Navy sides with the Communists. |
Radicalising the Troops
It is known that the military has little love for the perpetual siege we are subjected towards in Cyanolisia, and we can use this to our advantage. However, we will only have enough time to convince one group - the officers or the common soldiers.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Liasing with the Indigenes
Some find it distasteful, but the native minotaurs could prove to be a valuable ally. One of our goals is to stop the needless hatred between the two species, and we shall approach the tribal leaders. Common ground can and will be found.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 Radicalised Minotaur Indigenes
When the lands now comprising the County of Cyanolisia were stripped from the Kingdom of Asterion and reorganised into an Imperial colony, the indigenous minotaur population was forcibly displaced from the lucrative coastal trading towns into the undeveloped outback. The result was that outside of the coastal towns the population was minotaur-majority. Barred from entering any of the towns but given free rein over the wild interior, these indigenes scattered, forming various tribes and factions. The outback is a hostile place to any griffon, as the authority of the Imperial court ends at the borders of the coastal towns. Governance is hard because of the suppressed yet unruly minotaur population, which outnumbers the total griffon population ten to one. Many Minotaurs in Cyanolisia long for reunion with the mother country across the channel. In recent times, the minotaurs have grown more bold and daring with their raids, following the agitation incited by secret communist elements in Cyanolisia. |
Coordinating With the Cadres
The majority of griffons in Cyanolisia inhabit our coastal cities, and they are having firstclaw experience of the oppression forced unto them by the capitalists. The workers are our natural ally in the revolution, but we could consider convincing the despised bourgeoisie - their influence could ensure a smooth transition.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Anarchists and Egalitarianists
While we all share the vision of a socialist Cyanolisia, there are multiple viewpoints on how it should be achieved. Some groups hold radically different positions compared to Equestrian socialism, and could disrupt our plot. On the other claw, we need every griffon for our cause. How should we proceed?
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Roll The Die
Words will not be enough to overthrow the current regime, this is certain. Only a violent revolution can ensure a proper beginning of a pure, socialist nation. Down with the Countess! Down with the tyranny!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Officers' Putsch
We are confident that we've achieved sufficient support for our cause. Countess Sumpfkiel will have no choice but to abdicate and leave the country once she sees the overwhelming strength of the revolution. Our demands will be presented at the next session of the Countess' court, set to occur in three days...
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Our Finest Hour
Our plot has resolved in the most remarkable manner and we now have control over Cyanolisia. Let the people celebrate, for a brighter age is to come! The first order of business is to determine how will the future of our new Cyanolisia resolve.
|
|
 Victory Cheer
|
The Neue Demokratische Sozialismuspartei
The people have chosen the Neue Demokratische Sozialismuspartei to lead the nation. They promise equality without racism, prosperity without exploitation and liberty without oppression. Peace, bread and democracy for all, no matter the race or class!
|
|
|
The Radikale Gleichheitspartei
The devastating civil war has divided our fragile nation once again. The egalitarianists and their anarchist allies have stepped up to assume control of the state, due to the lack of other capable, more moderate leaders. They have an unique goal for Cyanolisia in mind.
|
|
|
Equal Rights Bill
The first step in healing this nation is the introduction of the equal rights bill - from now on, every griffon, pony, minotaur, zebra - in short, everycreature will be equal, regardless of their occupation, living habitat or beliefs. That way, our society will begin mending itself.

|
Abolish Private Ownership
Ownership is a disease that will cause strife in our equal society. We need to ensure nocreature owns no more than the other. Whether in poverty or in prosperity, we all share the same burden, but our goal is the same as well.
|
|
 No Private Ownership
Ownership has been declared to be incompatible with the doctrine of equality. Nocreature can possess more than another.
|
Land Redistribution
The bourgeoisie have unjustly occupied vast swathes of land in order to fund their illicit, greedy schemes. These will be taken by the state, and redistributed to each according to their need.
|
|
|
Revolutionary Patriotism
Military service has been regarded as distasteful, if necessary, for a long time in Cyanolisia. This meant that volunteers were few and between, but now, the people are much more eager to join our armed forces. The decades old siege mentality has come to an end.
|
|
 Patriotic Conscripts
|
Unions in Politics
The unions, which protect the workers from exploitation, must have a say in the workings of the government. They will ensure that new laws and regulations are not made to the detriment of the proletariat.
|
|
 Unions In Politics
Labour unions have become very active on the political scene, often pushing for reforms.
|
Mixed-Species Battalions
The next step in achieving our equal society is by forming military units containing multiple species. This experiment has two goals - to see if combat performance remains optimal, and to convince the remainder of the army to slowly adopt this unit formation.
|
|
|
Horizontalised Military Structure
The armed forces shall march as one and fight as one - the strict hierarchy has only shackled the common soldier. Now freed from their chains, they shall fight with unmatched fervour.

|
An Equal Society
So many nations and societies across the world would be far off better if they adopted our way of thinking. It is the duty of every proud citizen of Cyanolisia to spread the virtues of equality!
|
|
 Spread Equality
The joy of equality shall spread across the entire Griffonia!
|
Agrarian Collectivisation
Farmland and other properties which produce food must be seized for the good of the state, so that we can reform the way of production according to our ideals. We expect that initially there will be a lack of food as the farmers adjust to new quotas and regulations, but the results will be more than promising.
|
|
 Collectivised Farming
|
Military Commissars
While it was the armed forces who liberated Cyanolisia, we believe it would be wise to keep an eye on them. Anti-revolutionary sentiment cannot be allowed to fester, and these valiant commissars will ensure ideological purity in the army, as well as inspire the troops to new heights of bravery.
|
|
Political Commissars
|
Opening up the Outback
With the two races working together to establish a socialist utopia, the formerly hostile outback can now be properly developed and exploited for resources. This does not mean, however, that there aren't still minotaur remnants who seek to cause trouble. They will have to be dealt with eventually, but Cyanolisia isn't a state consisting of just coastal cities anymore.
|
|
 The Minotaurs' Outback
Following the Communists' successful victory in the uprising against the military junta, the Cyanolisian Outback, once hostile to any griffon who strayed from the safety of the coastal towns, are now starting to be opened up to reclaimation and development. With a substantial majority of the minotaur indigenes being supporters of the Communist cause, cadres from Thymíaustadt are now able to build infrastructure and make use of the natural resources in the Outback without fear of coming under attack by indigene partisans. With the opening up of the Outback comes the institutionalisation of the indigenes' legal and environmental rights to their lands and the resources within, affording them legally-recognised and unquestionable, if somewhat lessened from before, autonomy over the Outback. We can now also rely on the support of the minotaur indigenes in the event of an invasion, since they will now fiercely defend their hard-earned rightful lands alongside their griffon brethren from the towns.
|
Reconciliation with the Indigenes
Despite having fought together to bring forth the new order, relations with the minotaurs have remained strained, to say it lightly. Efforts will be placed into finding common ground, to put an end to decades of rivalry and hostility.
|
|
|
Seize the Means of Production
The state requires all of its materials, industry, infrastructure to further its goal. No longer shall we sell our hard work to the foreign capitalists, who would extort us and never give their fair share.
|
|
|
Form Miners' Collectives
The miners are some of the most vulnerable classes in the nation. Working long hours in dangerous conditions for a miserly paycheck, exploited harshly by the capitalist oppressors. This changes now, and the ownership of the mines goes towards those who work in them. Productivity and morale will increase.
|
|
 Miners' Collectives
|
Form the National Health Bureau
Basic healthcare, provided by the state, is the right of every citizen. We must ensure this privilege becomes a reality for every Cyanolisian, regardless of their wealth or social standing. The humid climate of southern Griffonia is a breeding ground for sickness, after all.
|
|
 National Health Bureau
|
Free Education
A literate citizen is a free citizen - and we must ensure everycreature receives basic education. The perfect opportunity to spread our values, as well.

|
Intercommunalism
With our affairs in order, the time has come to spread the values of socialism to our neighbours. The workers will rise, and we will not compromise! The oppressive feudal overlords must all go, into the annals of history where they belong, never to return!
|
|
|
Liberate the North
The nations of the Evi Valley are being ruled by oppressive feudal monarchs and thieving thugs. Of particular note is the despised tyrant Kloseu, who is rumoured to have killed every communist supporter in Prywhen. They will be avenged! We must intervene to bring socialism to their lands.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Liberate the West
Falcor and Sicameon languish in their underdeveloped, rural states. Their leaders promise progress, but they are liars, leeching off the work of the proletariat! We must march forth and free the workers. With every nation following our cause, the proletariat across the world will unite!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Into The World
With our immediate neighbours flying proudly the red flag, our goal has been achieved. But there are still workers across the world, toiling and slaving away for a pittance, yearning to be released from their shackles! Let the world know Cyanolisia supports the liberation of the proletariat in every nation!
|
|
 Into the World
It is our duty to support socialist revolutions across the world! The proletariat will be free, and our soldiers will the ones to ensure a future free of exploitation!
|
A Communist Future
Cyanolisia has progressed greatly in the past few years. From a backwater County besieged by minotaurs, we became a proud nation free from its woes and exploiters. This is reflected in our literate, free citizenry, who are living happy and fulfilled lives. The future is here.
|
|
|
Communism in One Country
Our ideology has no fertile ground to spread elsewhere, for the current moment. We should focus on nourishing our own nation exclusively. This does not mean we are blind to the plight of foreign workers, but it is merely a pragmatic choice.
|
|
|
Raise the Standard of Living
Our attempts to bring Cyanolisia to a modern age have been successful thus far, but the revolution is far from completed. The people deserve amenities so that they can live happy, working lives instead of languishing in despair.
|
|
|
|
Proletarian Factories
A socialist country cannot have its people be unemployed. We shall enact a program of mass industrialisation to give each and every Cyanolisian citizen a workplace they can proudly call their own.
|
|
|
The Best Defense
Any foolish invader would be deeply surprised to see that the people of Cyanolisia fight hard. No longer are we a disjointed nation, fractured by old grudges, but an united one, ready to meet whatever threat with heads high! Cyanolisia lives on, and it shall never fall!
|
|
 Aggressive Defence
|
Stamp Out Dissent
Spies, traitors, and perhaps the worst of all, communists, are crawling over our cities. Even the military is not safe from them! They must be rooted out if we wish to keep control over the important areas of our country. Perhaps a vacation in the countryside with the bovine beasts will teach them a lesson.

Gag the Press
We cannot let the newspapers and other media write what they want. Sooner or later, they'll leak crucial information of our plans and who knows what will happen once the hornheads find out. The press must write only what we tell them to write.
|
|
|
Form the Schutztruppen
Stringent recruitment requirement demand that each griffon admitted to the army has Herzlander descent. This has led to us losing valuable recruits, and as such, we shall loosen the standards and allow native griffons to join the forces.
|
|
|
Form the Strafbataillons
Deserters, thieves, murderers - little more than a drain on our society. Instead of languishing in overcrowded prisons, they shall redeem themselves on the battlefield. In victory, or in death.
|
|
|
Form the Militärpolizei
The Militärpolizei will be established to keep order at home and in foreign territory. Additionally, they will ensure our troops do not succumb to any excesses.
|
|
|
Form K.f.d.M.G. Battalions
Instead of serving in our regular forces, the K.f.d.M.G. will allowed to form their separate units and battalions. Their dedicated mindset will enable them to perform where the fight is the harshest. True Cyanolisians as they are, they will never die!
|
|
|
The Generalissimo
General Yohn Vogelbeck is right. Despite their political deadlock, the minotaurs will unite against us once they hear of our looming invasion plans. If we cannot control our own countryside, how will we control an entire island full of hostile bulls? The only rational choice is to fortify and await the storm.
|
|
|
Fortification Effort
From now on, a majority of our production will be devoted towards building up our defences. It is the only way we can survive.

|
Requisition Firearms
We find ourselves in a critical lack of firearms. We shall send traders to neighbouring cities to purchase rifles. Until we can build up our industry, this will fulfill our needs for now.
|
|
|
Invite Imperial Advisors
Our contact with the Heartlands is limited, but we could be able to convince some of their expert military minds to take residence in our lands, to train the troops and observe the looming war. Their assistance will be generously compensated.
|
|
 Imperial Military Advisors
|
Fortify Thymíaushafen
Thymíaustadt is our most valuable city and the centre of almost every industry and production in our nation. Should we lose it, the war will be lost already - and the minotaurs know this. It shall receive the strongest defences we can muster.
|
|
|
The Army Intelligence Division
Obtaining any information on the minotaurs' plans is already difficult due to the dividing sea. A special group will be formed to obtain the required intelligence, as well as root out any spies and dissenters that are undoubtedly crawling everywhere.
|
|
 Armee-Nachrichtenabteilung
The armed forces now have a specialised division dedicated to collecting information relevant for the war effort, and analysing it to their best ability.
|
Protected Supply Lines
The army marches on its supplies, this is known, but our logistical department is non-existant. Not to mention that indigenous minotaurs occasionally strike at our convoys, making the task of resupply quite harder than it already is. Regardless, we shall focus our efforts in improving the supply situation.
|
|
 Protected Supply Chains
The logistics corps are finally receiving proper funding, allowing our forces to fight longer and more effectively in the field.
|
Patrols in the Outback
Controlling the bull hordes is certainly not an option. What we can do, however, is increase our presence in areas that contain vital mineral riches, and force captured minotaurs to work for us. Should they refuse, we got a quick solution to that as well.
|
|
 A Policed Outback
An extensive effort is being put towards controlling the hostile countryside. Patrols are doing their hardest to fulfill their objectives, but our control over the region remains tenuous, at best. As a consenquence, coastal city garrisons have been downsized in order to fulfill the new demands.
|
Outback Training Exercises
While our troops are keeping in good shape and know how to operate their weaponry, they still require some actual combat experience. The hostile outback becomes a boon, for once, as we can "simulate" attacks on minotaur forces. The cows' consent is not required in this matter, of course.
|
|
|
Build the Küstenschutzwand
This is our most ambitious project yet - the Küstenschutzwand. Every mile of our coast will be covered in fortifications, mines will be placed in the sea, heavy guns will be installed in the batteries, barbed wires - anything and everything that will contain the invasion.
|
|
|
The Admiral
Scile von Sprache, our most senior admiral, has the right idea on dealing with the minotaur threat. We shall rally our troops, repair our ships, and stage the most glorious invasion of the Asterion archipelago. Only by breaking them before they can stage their own assault, we can ensure the continued peace.
|
|
|
Requisition Landing Craft
To carry our forces towards Asterion, we require far more convoys than we currently own. Our first priority shall be obtaining a sufficient number of them, as well as producing landing craft for the beach assault.
|
|
|
Armaments Effort
The means of increasing our military power are sorely lacking in Cyanolisia. Thus, it is imperative to turn around this situation.
|
|

|
Form the Naval Intelligence Office
Ships require intelligence on their foes' positions at all times, which is why we require a dedicated group of analysts to gather and process all this information, to give our seagriffons the best chance of success.
|
|
 Marinenachrichtenamt
Additional patrol boats give our naval forces a slight edge in information acquisition. The foe will not catch us off guard anytime soon.
|
Train the Troops
As we find ourselves in a pressing need for more soldiers, a realisation has come to us that military training takes longer than it should. It will have to be reformed and stripped only to the essentials, in order to have a large standing army.

|
Kommission für die Minotaurische Gebiete
A special organisation will be formed in order to effectively deal with the minotaur threat. They have our blessing and consent to ensure peace and stability reigns in what little land we effectively control, and perhaps they will be take the fight towards the tribal bulls as well.
|
|
Suppressed Minotaur Indigenes
When the lands now comprising the County of Cyanolisia were stripped from the Kingdom of Asterion and reorganised into an Imperial colony, the indigenous minotaur population was forcibly displaced from the lucrative coastal trading towns into the undeveloped outback. The result was that outside of the coastal towns the population was minotaur-majority. Barred from entering any of the towns but given free rein over the wild interior, these indigenes scattered, forming various tribes and factions. The outback is a hostile place to any griffon, as the authority of the Imperial court ends at the borders of the coastal towns. Governance is hard because of the suppressed yet unruly minotaur population, which outnumbers the total griffon population ten to one. Many minotaurs in Cyanolisia long for reunion with the mother country across the channel. With the formation of the K.f.d.M.G., the efficiency of our suppression of dissent in the outback has increased tenfold. |
Form the Naval Auxiliary Patrol
The bulls are known to set off on raids, targetting the trade ships sailing towards our coastal cities. As our naval forces are currently stretched thin, we've decided to form additional patrols drafted from volunteers, to keep an eye on the sea.
|
|
 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.
|
Cordon the Outback
Everything we require is located in our splendid coastal cities. No longer shall we trouble ourselves by attempting to control vast swathes of land populated by unruly, hostile minotaurs. We are focusing on the coast, entirely, from now on.
|
|
An Ignored Outback
Instead of wasting time and effort trying to control the unruly minotaurs, the Countess and her court have decided to fully cut off any attempt to police the outback. It can truly be said that Cyanolisia consists only of the thin, coastal strip of land.
|
|
The First Blow
We've done all we could to prepare for the naval invasion. The Countess is confident in our success, although it should be noted that if the war drags on for too long, we will face insurrection from the native bull scum. The plans are put into motion; either we return as victors or we do not return at all. For glory!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Woe to the Vanquished
By the Gods, we have been victorious! Against all odds our forces have struck the bulls a decisive blow, and they've sued for peace quickly afterward. The question remains how shall we control these subjugated lands. The Countess will deliberate with her command staff.
|
|
|
Loot the Cities
We finally have the means of exacting vengeance in our claws. The riches of Asterion will belong to us now, to assist in rebuilding our nation and further development. Let the hornheaded beasts fight over the remainders.
|
|
 Despoiled Cities
An intense campaign of pillaging and looting has turned the once proud cities of Asterion into hotbeds of anarchy and poverty. It will take considerable time to restore them to their previous splendour.
 Loot From Asterionese Cities
Our fledgling economy is being generously propped up by the resources taken from the Asterionese cities. It is good to be the victor.
|
The Black Book
Even with our victory secured, control over the Asterion Archipelago is tenuous at best. We suspect various political leaders, rabble-rousers and other dissidents are inciting the population towards a revolt. It would be best to ensure they quietly disappear. The message will be clear and obvious.
|
|
|
Intensify Tribal Conflicts
The defeat in the war has shattered the bulls' sense of unity. Now they spend more time fighting each other, blaming their opponents for the loss. It would be prudent to provoke further these intertribal disputes, so that they'll spend more time arguing with one another rather than opposing our rule.
|
|
 Intense Tribal Conflicts
Brother fights against brother, as the minotaurs are fighting amongst themselves, blaming each other for the defeat against the Cyanolisians.
|
Demilitarise the Asterion Archipelago
To ensure the bulls do not rise up against us in any foreseeable time, their society will be forcefully transitioned to a peaceful one. Additionally, a select number of production centres devoted exclusively towards production of military hardware will be shut down. Asterion will not threaten us again.
|
|
|
|
Colonise the Outlying Islands
Many minor islands surround the Asterionese mainland, which are excellent locations for naval bases. Surveyors have reported mineral deposits which lay unexploited, and the small native minotaur population means we can settle griffons without too much tension.
|
|
|
Riches of the Outlying Islands
Having secured the control of the isles, we can now begin extracting their vast resource wealth. This shall complement our excavation projects on the Cyanolisian mainland, and allow us to expand our production in the future.
|
|
|
Fortify the Western Border
The Sicamese alliance with the bulls is a well known fact in international diplomacy. Rational concerns have been raised about the possibility of them working together against us. While we cannot completely prevent the chance of a two front war, we can dissuade them from launching major assaults by raising a series of fortifications on the western border.
|
|
|
War on Sicameon
Everygriff knows that the parishes of Sicameon are a staunch ally of the bovine beasts. They will not sit idly once we strike their ally - we must strike them, as well. Additionally, we would profit from holding their numerous ports.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Sicameon's Reckoning
We should not be overly harsh on Sicameon. Their alliance with the minotaurs was only a matter of circumstances, and we cannot blame them for trying to defend themselves in this hostile world. A fair peace treaty is in order.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
War Reparations From Sicameon
In the short and brutal war, Sicameonese troops have inflicted great devastation on our land and killed many good Cyanolisian soldiers. It is only fair that we should demand reparations for the damages inflicted, to the last Idol of value. As long as we are not overly harsh on the amount, it will prevent them from developing their economy in the near time.
|
|
 War Reparations to Cyanolisia
Per the stipulations of the peace treaty, we are paying Cyanolisia an indemnity for the next five years. Our citizens do not appreciate it, but woe comes to the vanquished.
 Sicameonese Reparations
The reparations we are receiving from Sicameon allow us to expand our welfare programs, making our citizens much more satisfied with their everyday lives.
|
Reclaim the Snowtop Mountains
The Snowtop mountain chain would provide an excellent buffer against a future foreign incursion. We must hurry and integrate the land around them into our nation, in order to hasten the defence efforts. Additionally, the local mines will fall under our control, and thus we can examine if it worthwhile to expand them.
|
|
|
Expand the Snowtop Mines
While performing their usual duties, the miners at Snowtop have unearthed a particularly rich vein containing large amounts of precious crystals. Now that we are certain that the investment in the mines will return profit, we shall give them the funds they requested. The mine output is set to double within the next two years.
|
|
|
Economic Shock Therapy
With our existance secured, we shall now look into resolving the economical matters. While Cyanolisia certainly can't be called poor or illiterate, we have not taken advantage of our position. Establish trading routes across the entire southern Griffonia! This will give us the means to propel ourselves forward.
|
|
|
Look to The Empire
Our obvious ally is the Griffonian Empire with which we've lost contact so long ago. Let us begin by sending an envoy to Griffenheim and inform them of our situation.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Rejoin The Fatherland
It is set. We shall rejoin the Empire as partners, to protect their interests in southern Griffonia. Our safety will be ensured forever more.
|
|
|
On Our Own
We have endured, we have earned the right to call ourselves an independent, free nation! No longer shall we bow before distant, uncaring overlords. The Countess has a grand vision for our future.
|
|
|
Cyanolisia's Future
With our newly proclaimed independence comes a decision how should our nation be ruled from here on. Should the status quo be preserved, or should we pursue our ambitions? The choice lies within the Countess.
|
|
|
Our Most Glorious Victory
We've done it! Despite the long and arduous road we've travelled, our setbacks have been overcome and we are now the overlords of the region. This day shall be known as a national holiday henceforth, and we shall commence restoring our proper rule.
|

Victory Cheer
 Defeated Minotaur Indigenes
When the lands now comprising the County of Cyanolisia were stripped from the Kingdom of Asterion and reorganised into an Imperial colony, the indigenous minotaur population was forcibly displaced from the lucrative coastal trading towns into the undeveloped outback. The result was that outside of the coastal towns the population was minotaur-majority. Barred from entering any of the towns but given free rein over the wild interior, these indigenes scattered, forming various tribes and factions. The outback is a hostile place to any griffon, as the authority of the Imperial court ends at the borders of the coastal towns. Governance is hard because of the suppressed yet unruly minotaur population, which outnumbers the total griffon population ten to one. Many minotaurs in Cyanolisia long for reunion with the mother country across the channel. With the recent subjugation of Asterion itself, resistance cells fell altogether and in-fighting now runs rampant in the segregated minotaur population, which in turn makes it much easier to subjugate them.
|
Onwards to Glory
The Creeper Mountains to our north used to a part of our county, before the Boreas-forsaken events of 978. Now, brutish bandits control the mountains, from which they launch their raids and cause great mayhem. It would be only proper as a civilised nation to put an end to these marauders and reclaim our final missing province.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Free City
It was a bitter humiliation for us to lose the war against the minotaurs - but our shrewd diplomats have been successful in negotiating a settlement. We now have a second opportunity, to turn Cyanolisia, or what is left of it, into a reborn nation, free of its past woes.
|
| |
The Decree for Civic Service
The war has greatly depleted our forces, and attempting to raise an another army would invoke displeasure from the populace. Instead, we shall attempt a different approach: send a call for capable griffons to assist in rebuilding our fair city. There are plenty of underappreciated tasks to do, such as road repair and patrols.
|
|
 Staatsbürgerdienst
The Staatsbürgerdienst ensures every able bodied citizen of New Thymíau completes a year in either military or civilian service. Afterward, they are kept in the reserve, should a mobilisation be required.
|
The Decree for Market Liberalisation
Trade is the lifeblood of any nation, especially for a small city state like ourselves. We cannot afford to hoard resources, it must all go! There are plenty of willing buyers and with the increased income we can divert some of it towards solving our social inequalities.
|
|
|
The Decree for Urban Consolidation
We have precious little space to work with, and these rows upon rows of slums and poorly constructed neighbourhoods do not reflect well on Neu Thymíau's splendour. We symphatise with the burdened and impoverished, but the cold hard truth is that we need this space more than they do.
|
|
|
Develop the New Thymíau Outskirts
The desire for safety has led to our city having almost no space left for the construction of new buildings. With the minotaur threat removed, the city of Neu Thymíau can now naturally expand beyond its old city walls, and the populace doesn't have to live in squalor anymore.
|
|
 New City Quarters
Our citizens are eagerly purchasing property in our newly built city districts, giving the local economy a much needed boost.
|
The Land Acquisition Act
Thymíaustadt - now Neu Thymíau - was a very old city. The usage of land was not optimal; city planning in the early days was non-existant, and as a result the city centre is a warren of labyrinthian hovels full of poor people. We will knock them down using bulldozers and tanks, and in their place we will build grand boulevards with elegant buildings and well-manicured parks.
|
|
|
Build the Espelho Mar Tunnel
Transport in and out of the island of Espelho Mar is possible only through a single bridge, built when the island was still Asterion territory. To supplant our current dependence on the bridge, a large undersea tunnel will be built using the most modern construction techniques, which will benefit our future military operations on the strategically-valuable island.
|
|
|
|
The Minotaurian Walled City
Griffons and minotaurs are simply incapable of living together. Both are stubborn species who never let go of their grudges, resulting in untold destruction and misery. However, our new status means we cannot simply expel the minotaurs. Instead, we have a simple but elegant solution.
|
|
|
The Decree for Bureaucratic Rehabilitation
Left alone for long enough, and the bureaucrats begin to grow indolent and complacent with their responsibilities. New times require new officials, and our administration requires plenty of fresh faces for our rebirth.
|
|
|
Dissolve the Coastal Governates
The governate system is simply obsolete now - they cannot rule cities that we do not control anymore. Their functions will be abolished and these griffons will find work elsewhere.
|
|
|
Reconvene the Neundrachen Chamber
When Thymíau was still an independent trading city, the Neundrachen Chamber served as the parliament of the city-state, staffed by delegates elected by popular vote both from the city's districts and beyond. By reestablishing the Chamber, our government will hopefully garner more legitimacy for our nascent city-state. Of course, we will see to it that the Chamber wields no real power.
|
|
|
Introspektionsrichtlinie
Now that we are free of the outback's burden, we no longer have to spend time and money trying to control it. All efforts shall go exclusively to New Thymíau, the greatest city on the southern coastline.
|
|
|
By Griffons, For Griffons
The defeat in the war has soured our citizens' hearts and minds. Let us remind them why Cyanolisians are a step above others, and give them a reason again to be proud of their country.
|
|
 Thymíau Über Alles
The shining cities of the Freistaat are clearly better than others, and this is reflected in the citizens' intense patriotism. They are doing their best for New Thymíau.
|
The Decree for Reformed Governance
We have done much recently in reforming Cyanolisian governance, but now the Countess wishes to enact a final step in consolidating her rule over New Thymíau. She will present her ideas tomorrow to the Neundrachen Chamber.
|
|
|
|
The New Minister for Economics
Cyanolisia's economy has been a confusing bind for a long time. Between unpredictable profit margins, losses from minotaur raids, the need to heavily invest in our defence the industry, it was difficult for everygriff to manage it. With the peace restored, our gracious Lady Taillow has proposed forming a dedicated ministry for the economy, that will finally bring some order to our income.
|
|
|
The New Minister for Industry
Our industrial capabilities will require a full reconstruction given the present situation. And what better way to achieve this than replacing the industrial managers with new griffons with bright ideas? They've be given a greater leeway in controlling the production, as well.
|
|
|
The New Minister for War
The war cabinet has led our nation to a disastrous defeat and as such they must be sacked. We require military leaders whose sense of strategy isn't stagnant and rooted in the past. Only this way can we prevent a second defeat.
|
|
(Genius)
|
The New Minister for Foreign Affairs
Our foreign policy requires a different approach befitting our status of a free city. Although existing diplomatic missions will carry on as usual (with a lot less begging for aid), we've decided to expand our espionage corps, to give us a broader picture of the world.
|
|
|
The New Thymíau Merchant Navy
Our naval production must be streamlined and expanded, if we wish to protect our shipping lanes. By ensuring the safety of our merchant cruisers, the free city will never suffer from shortages of goods, food and resources.
|
|
 Neu-Thymíau Handelsmarine
What is a maritime city-state without its proud navy? A large naval spending program has been put into motion, giving the navy much needed funding for rebuilding and expansion.
|
Open Door Immigration Policy
Let all who wish to settle in our fair city come: we shall accept all regardless of their race, wealth or religion. There are plenty of newly built housing waiting for these immigrants, who shall assist in expanding the splendour of New Thymíau.
|
|
 Open Door Immigration Policy
All are welcome to New Thymíau, regardless of their race, religion or wealth. The shining cities of the south promise a great living standard to anycreature who makes their home here. As long as they pay respects to the law, of course.
|
The Horst Armaments Firm
The Horst Handelsunternehmen is proving themselves to be remarkably adaptable and flexible in providing for our needs. Although domestic firearm production is within quotas, and we can always import what we lack, Horst representatives believe we should make our own designs. We shall grant them the commission to produce firearms for our standing army, as long as their promises hold true.
|
|
|
Farmland Expropriations
The new proposed development plan requires us to obtain several plots of farmland situated outside of the cities. Although the land could be easily taken, it would invite unrest from the disenfranchised farmers. This predicament must be resolved in order to further our goals.
|
|
|
Nurture New Thymíau Industry
The new industrial experts have already come up with a plan to increase our production. Various failing companies shall be merged together, and their assets will be put towards increasing their output.
|
|
|
|
Construct the Tarmuth Rocket Base
A prototype rocket-based weaponry has recently been discussed. Although expensive to produce and not quite optimal in performance, they provide a much safer method of unleashing devastation on our foes, rather than sending our brave griffons. To properly test this new invention, a secret base will be built near Tarmuth, away from any prying eyes, and thus minimising collateral damage.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
New Military Talent
Per the new war cabinet's recommendation, several officers who have proven their mettle in the disastrous war against the minotaurs will be promoted. Their performance in the field has saved us from an ever larger defeat, and their loyalty to the state shall be rewarded appropriately.

Griffon Jaegers
Although the tradition of griffon knights has never gone out of style, we are considering adopting a more different approach to training our special forces. As part of a trial program, a division will be trained in skirmishing and light infantry tactics, putting more initiative on their behalf instead of being subordinated. We expect good results.
|
|
|
Welcome Pony Immigration
Special attention should be given to attracting pony immigrants. Their unique, talent based approach to life should make up for the skilled personnel we lack, and their pacifist nature will ensure they will fight bravely for New Thymíau. All we need to give them is a warm, welcoming claw.
|
|
(Genius)
 Pony Émigré Communities
New Thymíau's expatriate communities of Ponies from all over the world, most fleeing troubles from their places of origin, bringing along with them their foreign skills and knowledge. Many are fiercely protective of their adopted home.
|
Form Pegasi Brigades
Many pony immigrants are fiercely protective of their new home, and have expressed a desire to serve in our forces. We can comfortably send most to fight alongside their griffon comrades, but pegasi would be best utilised as part of a special brigade to handle more sensitive objectives. They shall be quick as lightning!
|
|
|
The University of New Thymíau
Previously we could not afford to make room for a higher centre of education, due to the situation. But now that our woes are behind us, we are free to give our best and brightest griffons the quality education they deserve, rather than sending them to foreign faculties, from which they often did not return. New Thymíau stands ready to benefit from these learned minds.
|
|
|
The De Aguilar Polytechnic Institute
A school of learning shall be founded to teach our young griffons the value of solving practical problems. An institute of learning dedicated to the many branches of engineering, which shall propel our nation to the future!
|
|
|
The Horst Banking Guild
Some are wary of giving the Horst Handelsunternehmen so much influence and responsibilities, but they have truly proven themselves loyal to the state, and as far as we can tell, they are not secretly plotting to overthrow the regime. As such, we shall grant their request for establishing a banking guild. However, we will monitor their activities and ensure that they provide a honest service.
|
|
Horst Handelsunternehmen
The changing situation of the Cyanolisian state has not diminished the influence of the Horst Handelsunternehmen. Instead, they have increased it, giving them a large impact in the city-state's economy. Most of the banks in New Thymíau are owned by them, as well.
Horst Handelsunternehmen
The most prestigious and funded trading company in the Cyanolisian cities, the Horst Handelsunternehmen have their claws in every piece of the pie. Their influence is large enough that they are able to secure superiour foreign firearms for a fraction of its cost.
|
Form the Civil Guard
A dedicated force to keep our cities safe shall be formed. These brave guardgriffs will ensure no crime goes unpunished, foreign intereference is intercepted, and should the need arise, act as an auxiliary force in case of war. Their motto shall be, "The boldest measures are the safest".
|
|
|
Expand the Horst Oil Refineries
The Horst company has already began experimenting with their own oil and rubber processing plants, but their output is meagre and they consider them to be unprofitable. We, however, have a need for resources, and we shall invest in their operations. A loss can be tolerated as long as we obtain the resources we require.
|
|
|
|
The Thymíau Golden Fleet
What's a free merchant city without its proud fleet? In order to protect our interests and showcase the wealth of the Southern Jewel, a vast and powerful fleet shall be commissioned to impress our allies and put fear into our foes.
|
|
|
Raze the Dockside Slums
The numerous hovels and shacks that are everywhere on our piers are a haven for smugglers, criminals and other undesirable elements of society. More importantly, these are taking up the space we wish to use for more honest dealings. However, we risk angering the slum dwellers if we were to so brazenly kick them out of their homes. A solution will have to be found.
|
|
|
Land Reclamation from the Sea
It is undeniable that the Free State of New Thymíau is a maritime nation. From our coastal cities, we have ventured outwards into the vast ocean in our ships - to trade, to explore, to plunder. Now we pursue a different kind of expansion, by creating land from where the sea once was. All our coastal cities will benefit, gaining new seafront land on which to build as well as state-of-the-art maritime facilities.
|
|
|
Defending New Thymíau Airspace
Our beautiful city must not get devastated by aerial attacks! A series of large caliber guns, built in the outskirts of New Thymíau, will deter any plans to bombard our fair town. It is not a complete solution to the potential problem, but it will suffice until we can develop our airforce.
|
|
|
Forays into Atomic Research
The Horst Trading Company has brought to our attention reports of successful channelings of nuclear energy. If we are to replicate such a feat and harness this so-called nuclear energy, we would gain access to a tremendous source of industrial and military power. The Horst Company has already constructed a magical crystal processing plant in New Thymíau; all that's left now is to commence our research.
|
|
|
Patriotism Program
There is more to being a citizen of New Thymíau than paying your taxes. It is about fighting for your nation, supporting its cause to the fullest, and rooting out anygriff disloyal to the state. We must remind our citizens of these notions, lest we lose the next war because of failures at home, and not at the front.
|
|
|
Agricultural Mechanisation
New Thymíau relies heavily on foreign grain for sustenance. This dependence on external factors poses a threat to our existance; hence, we must pursue rapid agricultural modernisation at home in order to increase domestic food production if we are ever to achieve autarky.

Operation Nachtlicht
Our fair city is not as peaceful and unified as it may seem. There are many acting in opposition to Lady Liváni, whether they are doing so in the open, or as part of secret underground elements. Some house cleaning is in order, to secure the safety of our nation.
|
|
|
Instate the Registry Office
The land we control may be small, but many events come to pass without us being informed. In order to ensure we have eyes and ears on our citizens' whereabouts, including our immediate neighbours' plans, an inconspicuously named administration department will be formed.
|
|
 Standesamt
Though bearing the innocuous title of "Registry Office", the Standesamt is in actuality the ruthless secret police of the New Thymíau Free State. Little goes in the city without them being notified about it.

The people's desire is to be armed, and we shall grant it to them! No longer shall they cower in fear, unable to defend themselves. As part of our relaxation on civilian gun laws, the industrial-military complex will be substantially expanded.

Fund the De Aguilar Hydroponics Farms
Plants that grow without being buried in soil might seem like an impossible idea to some, but in truth it is a viable method of agriculture. An invention from a group of botanists and chemists from De Aguilar, it promises great returns. Although a substantial amount of resources will have to be invested in maintaining these state of the art farms, their bountiful harvest will ensure nogriff ever has to starve.

Hydroponic Farms
With the hydroponic farming system, our domestic agricultural output has increased tenfold, bringing us closer to the utopian ideal of total autarky.

Right the Wrongs
We have bided our time, and now we are strong enough to overrule the humiliating peace treaty. The bulls and their petty allies will rue the day they have crossed us! We march to war once more!

|
War on Sicameon
Everygriff knows that the parishes of Sicameon are a staunch ally of the bovine beasts. They will not sit idly once we strike their ally - we must strike them, as well. Additionally, we would profit from holding their numerous ports.

The following will bypass the focus:

War on Asterion
The bulls have won the previous war, and it is clear they are not content with their victory. Our diplomatic success came only because of their reluctance to assault our fortified capital. Certainly, they seek to finish the job, but we shall strike first before their wicked scheme fully develops!

The following will bypass the focus:

|
Sicameon's Reckoning
We should not be overly harsh on Sicameon. Their alliance with the minotaurs was only a matter of circumstances, and we cannot blame them for trying to defend themselves in this hostile world. A fair peace treaty is in order.

The following will bypass the focus:

Asterion's Fate
The great injustice has been corrected and we are now the masters of the Asterionese archipelago. We must quickly decide what to do with our defeated foe before their shock of defeat wears off.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Recognition of Minotaur Rights
To prevent further hostilities, minotaurs should be given certain rights and respects. While this will not completely solve racial tensions, nor will the rebels be placated by this gesture, it is a method to slowly heal the divide. We can afford to be generous to our beaten foe.
|
|
 Recognised Minotaur Rights
The New Thymíau government, in its infinite wisdom and compassion, has instituted a series of decrees affirming the rights of minotaur citizens in the Free State. Although they effectively remain second-class citizens under the law, these new measures offer minotaurs an unprecedented degree of legal protection. Hopefully, these decrees will erode minotaur secessionist sentiments over time, and heal the deep wounds wrought by the many conflicts between New Thymíau and Asterion.
|
|
War Reparations From Sicameon
In the short and brutal war, Sicameonese troops have inflicted great devastation on our land and killed many good Cyanolisian soldiers. It is only fair that we should demand reparations for the damages inflicted, to the last Idol of value. As long as we are not overly harsh on the amount, it will prevent them from developing their economy in the near time.
|
|
War Reparations to New Thymíau
Per the stipulations of the peace treaty, we are paying the Freistaat of New Thymíau an indemnity for the next five years. Our citizens do not appreciate it, but woe comes to the vanquished.
Sicameonese Reparations
The reparations we are receiving from Sicameon allow us to expand our welfare programs, making our citizens much more satisfied with their everyday lives.

Reclaim the Snowtop Mountains
The Snowtop mountain chain would provide an excellent buffer against a future foreign incursion. We must hurry and integrate the land around them into our nation, in order to hasten the defence efforts. Additionally, the local mines will fall under our control, and thus we can examine if it worthwhile to expand them.
|
|
|
|
Expand the Snowtop Mines
While performing their usual duties, the miners at Snowtop have unearthed a particularly rich vein containing large amounts of precious crystals. Now that we are certain that the investment in the mines will return profit, we shall give them the funds they requested. The mine output is set to double within the next two years.

|
Colonise the Outlying Islands
Many minor islands surround the Asterionese mainland, which are excellent locations for naval bases. Surveyors have reported mineral deposits which lay unexploited, and the small native minotaur population means we can settle griffons without too much tension.
|
|
|
|
Riches of the Outlying Islands
Having secured the control of the isles, we can now begin extracting their vast resource wealth. This shall complement our excavation projects on the Cyanolisian mainland, and allow us to expand our production in the future.

Our Most Glorious Victory
We've done it! Despite the long and arduous road we've travelled, our setbacks have been overcome and we are now the overlords of the region. This day shall be known as a national holiday henceforth, and we shall commence restoring our proper rule.

Reclaim Our Coastal Towns
In the short time they've held dominion over our prized coastal towns, minotaurs have done their hardest to spread their culture, at the expense of griffons who have lived there for decades. They've hailed us as liberators, and it won't take too much time and effort to restore Cyanolisian rulership. After we stamp out every trace of the minotaurs' influence, of course.
|
|
|
Reintegrate the Northern Provinces
The hostile outback issue shall be solved once and for all. Minotaurs will be displaced, insurrectionist cells will be rooted out, and finally, good griffons will settle the region. We shall be in complete control of our rightful land.

Onwards to Glory
The Creeper Mountains to our north used to a part of our county, before the Boreas-forsaken events of 978. Now, brutish bandits control the mountains, from which they launch their raids and cause great mayhem. It would be only proper as a civilised nation to put an end to these marauders and reclaim our final missing province.
