Anarchy in Greifwald
The griffons of Greifwald have long lacked any strong opinions on matters one way or the other, but how can they continue like that when there's still a state that might take a position on events? The only solution is revolution! Nestor Bernier, a notorious guerrilla fighter, is already forming plans to topple the Count's rule.
|
The Berniers
The GAP or more commonly known as the Berniers have finally decide to strike and are waging a war against the Greifwaldian government.

The Free Territory
No Gods, no Kings, only Griffons!

The Black Army
The Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Greifwald, also known as the Black Army, is an anarchist army formed largely of Greifwaldian peasants and workers, whose task it is to protect the people of Greifwald.
| ||
Between Giants
Greifwald sits between two of the largest powers on the continent: The Kingdom of Aquileia and the old Griffonian Empire. It is of the utmost importance that we maintain good relations with both. We cannot let Greifwald fall into the claws of extremists, as it is likely that such a change would put us on the path to war with one or more powers on the Griffonian continent.
|
Political Realism
We are a small nation between two giants, thus to ensure our safety we must be open to any and all diplomacy.
| |
A Policy of Neutrality
We must maintain complete and utter neutrality in our dealings with both the Aquileians and the Imperials. To this end, we will instruct all echelons of power in Greifwald that the highest priority of the State is the preservation of the status quo. Greifwald shall be a beacon of stability in a world full of extremists.
|
||
| ||
| ||
Work with the Imperials
The Empire has been the greatest power in Griffonia for centuries. Even though it's power has declined under Grover V, it is very likely that the Griffonian Empire shall remain a large player on the world stage. Therefore, we should align ourselves more closely with the Imperial Sphere of Influence.

Invite Imperial Industrialists
Our economy is poor and underdeveloped, and most foreign investors have little interest in Greifwald. Owing to our diplomatic ties with the Empire, we may be able to persuade some prominent Imperial industrialists to not only invest in Greifwald, but perhaps even serve as advisors for our government. This will not solve all of our economic problems, but it should allow our economy to recover to some degree.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Request Imperial Economic Aid
Although the Greifwaldian economy has improved thanks to our Imperial friends, there is still a lot of room for improvement. The Empire may be willing to provide significant economic relief to us if we increase our diplomatic efforts and pledge to support the Empire in the future.
|
| |
Imperial Development
The Griffonian Empire has agreed to launch an industrial development plan for Greifwald, including significant investments into our industry and scientific base. Not only will this improve the light and heavy industry of the nation, but it should also allow us to make significant progress in many scientific fields.
|
| |
Friends in the Palace
The Griffonian Empire has done much for our economy, and we have openly stated our political support. Until now however, the Empire has not made any official proclamations of support with Greifwald. It may be time to ask the Imperials to change this, with the Empire officially guaranteeing our independence.
|
| |
The Enemy to the South
With our close ties to the Griffonian Empire, it is sadly quite possible that we may be drawn into a conflict with the Kingdom of Aquileia and her allies. Fortifying our southern border with bunkers, walls and trenches could prove to be an investment into the continuing sovereignty of Greifwald.
|

The following will bypass the focus:
|

Import Aquileian Weaponry
As the Greifwaldian industrial base is quite small, it may be in our best interest to purchase some weapons from the Aquileians. This will allow us to arm more griffons for any potential conflict. Importing a large stockpile of small arms and a few artillery pieces seems to be the most sensible course at the moment.

Request a Loan from Aquileia
The Aquileian economy is much larger than that of Greifwald. Due to our recent leanings into the Aquileian sphere of influence, we may be able to convince them to loan us a large amount of money at a token interest rate. This would allow us to improve our economy and industry, and reduce the poverty amongst our population.
|
| |
Aquileian Development Assistance
Our heavy industry is still lacking, despite all our efforts. But now that we have close ties to the Aquileian economy, we are in a position to change this. We should request a sizeable Aquileian investment into our heavy industry, as this would most likely improve both our economies.
|

Reclaim Adelart
The territories of Lissay and Eagleton, now composing the nation of Adelart, have been an integral part of Greifwald for centuries, before they were taken from us less than 20 years ago. Many griffons living there are still loyal to the Greifwaldian nation, but the government of Adelart will not agree to unification on our terms. If we must take what is ours by force, than so be it.

Rebuild the Nation
All of Greifwald is united now, at least on paper. But sadly, the former Adelartian lands of Lissay and Eagleton are lagging behind in most fields. With a significant investment, it should be possible rebuild the industry of our nation to it's former glory, before we were separated.
|
|
|
Springtime for Greifwald
The Unification of Greifwald has had a tremendous effect on our nation: for the first time in decades, the griffons of Greifwald can be proud of their nation, and support for our government is at an all-time high. We must capitalise on this, and lead the Greifwaldian people into a new age of happiness and prosperity.
|
||
Form the Greifwaldian National Army
Since the successful war of unification, support for the military is at an all-time high, and many griffons are joining the military every day. Now that a true Greifwaldian nation exists, we can launch a significant expansion of our military. Greifwald shall never be divided again.
|
||
State Funded Armouries
The recent recruitment drive has, sadly, created a new problem: Our ever-growing military needs more weapons and equipment than we are capable of producing at the moment. We should set up large armouries and expand our heavy industry to make sure our soldiers have all the equipment they need.
|
||
Offer Citizenship to Foreign Scientists
The World has grown very dangerous in the last decades, and many foreign scientists are looking for a stable nation in which they can take up residence. By extending offers of citizenship to scientists living in unstable and war-torn nations, we can significantly improve our scientific base.
|
| |
A Haven for the Sound of Mind
Many scientists have taken up our offer of citizenship, but we can still improve upon this number. By granting significant subsidies to scientists and giving them more protection under the law, we can make Greifwald even more attractive to intelligent people looking for a safe haven.
|
The constant warfare which has plagued Griffonia for years has drawn many intellectuals to our little country due to our relative stability, and their contributions have increased our scientific base significantly. However an unfortunate side-effect of their residence is their nigh constant complaining.
| |
Massive Agricultural Reforms
Our heavy industry has improved significantly, but our agriculture is still lagging behind in many fields. We must fix this as soon as possible and start a massive reform of our agriculture. This "Agricultural Revolution" will make our agricultural industry one of the most advanced on the continent.
|
Agricultural reforms shall lead our nation in to the future.
| |
| ||
Loosen Immigration Laws
Many people, griffons and others, seek to emigrate their native land in search of a better place to live. We have the industry and agriculture to support a very large population, and so we could take advantage of thousands of immigrants. But first, a loosening of our immigration laws is in order.
|
Wingbardians, Aquileians, Imperials? No sir, those griffons are Greifwaldians.
| |
Request the Help of the Prelate
In times of trouble like this griffons turn to their faith for strength. Our government has no opinion on this one way or the other, but the local Prelate, Ludwig Ebonwing, certainly does. He seems to be proposing many interesting economic and political ideas. Perhaps we should take advantage of this.
|
| |
Invite the Knights of Arcturius
The Knights of Arcturius have long been seen as an honourable force for good with not a hint of corruption among their various chapters. Indeed, the very idea of such griffons pledging themselves to evil is mind-boggling. Perhaps it's time we bring these fine fellows in to teach people a thing or two.
|
| |
Organise Militias
Now that sterling noble griffons of unquestionable character and not a hint of heresy are backing the government it's time for the commoners to join in the new military. A militia of mighty griffons of valour shall be formed, and among them not a single cultist shall be found. This new divine military shall surely help us.
|
||
Economic Assistance from the Gods
It's a well known fact that mortals are pants when it comes to finance. If it weren't the case, would the Empire have fallen apart the moment the Idol of Boreas was lost? Thus, it is logical to seek divine inspiration in money matters, especially when being specific about prayers.
|
| |
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
No Aquileian gibberish, no Greifwaldian rubbish, the only way to speak Griffish is with a proper Imperial accent and stiff upper beak.
| ||
Godly Researchers
It's time for our scientists to face facts that they will never be as good as the divine, and so must submit to being their research in re-purposed temples or else. On the plus side for them, this will grant them more space for more experiments and indeed this is already happening. The mutations are a normal side effect of science, make no mistake.
|
| |
Expand the Militia System
It's time to expand the militia system previously implemented, even if we have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to do it. Those brigands and convicts are sure to be turned into upstanding griffons, and make no mistake about it, they are not being used for some ulterior motive.

Answer the Fatherland's Call
It is time to return to the Empire, integrating our county and its government into the larger whole. This is the end of the line for our independence, but it is for the best. After all, just imagine how far a loyal servant of the Empire can get into the halls of power...

Coerce the Heathens
To make sure the survivors know their place, we shall implement mandatory beatings and executions. The only clothes they will be permitted will be mud, and tears will be the only baths they shall get. The only reprieve from this shall be joining the military, and then they shall get all the drink and flesh they can stomach.
|
|
|
| ||
Exploit the Heretics
While sacrifices are preferred, that is not always the most productive way to further the struggle. Setting up work camps shall allow us to both kill them and get something out of them before the end. We shall also legalise every other kind of slavery to make sure there is always an underclass to exploit for Maar.
|
| |
| ||
| ||
| ||
Let Loose the Warriors of Maar
By removing our military from any legal or moral restrictions, we can allow them to fully take advantage of their natural brutality. The only remaining law for them shall be to have unquestioning devotion to the Archon who speaks for Maar. Other than that, they can have their fun.
|
The world shall tremble before the might of Maar!

The Hellfire Forge
A pinnacle of the Dark Mechanicus' genius, the Hellfire Forge is practically an automated factory capable of producing nearly anything at a rapid pace, provided of course it receives enough sacrifices.
| ||
Even in Death We Serve
As the will of Maar spreads throughout the land, He calls out to the dead bodies that lie upon the vast battlefields. Soulless and puppets to Maar himself, the undead shall rise and march upon the heathens. Some balk at the thought, but they are weak! Maar ensures these puppets will not harm us.

Black Gold
Our efforts to increase oil extraction have born fruit: Our oil industry is booming, and it doesn't show signs of stopping. It is believed that with increased funding, more synthetic oil can be produced. We will also be able to further expand the Adelart Oil Fields, and take advantage of any source that remains untapped. It is likely that the "Black Gold", as many griffons have named it, will continue to flow for many decades more.
|
||
| ||
Dig for Iron
While doing construction work in Twöchanerwald for our recent infrastructure expansion, some engineers came across a small iron vein in the forest. If we can find the main vein, we should be able to construct mines there. This would allow us to increase our iron surplus and thus, our steel production.
|
||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
Recycle the Old Guns
As tempting as it is to throw away all our old weapons for the shiny new ones we should keep cost concerns in mind. If we can adapt an old blackpowder rifle for smokeless cartridges for half the cost of building a new rifle from scratch why not take it? If nothing else it should cut down on training time.
|

Luna Nova Experiments
A group of our finest scientist-mages recently travelled to the Luna Nova Academy in Equestria. There they participated in an experiment to create enchanted crystals to power a Light Amplification by Simulated Emission of Radiation device. They have since returned our lands and brought with them the knowledge of what they learned. Apparently believing in ourselves is our magic. Nice!
|
| |
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
Form Paratrooper Regiments
As technology advances and battle lines become ever more clear some of our number begin to see the value of specialised infantry trained to use transport aircraft to insert behind those lines. These 'paratroopers' should prove exceptionally useful for sowing confusion in enemy lines.
|
| |
Jet Experiments
An article published in a scientific journal years ago proposed the idea of using compressed air being funnelled into a constant explosion as a means of propulsion. Perhaps it would be wise to invest in a better translation, and experiments to test the validity of the theory afterwards.

Friends From Across the Sea
After the recent defeat of the main Changeling Hives on the Equestrian continent, we have received an intriguing offer by several former members of the Changeling high command. If we were to grant them sanctuary in Greifwald, they would be willing to provide our armed forces with invaluable know-how, as well as actively serve us in any potential conflict.
|
| |
Bugs in the Sky
It is well known that the Changeling air force was one of the best in the world, prior to their defeat. There is a proposal to invite some of the former members of the changeling aeronautical forces to Greifwald. Not only would they bring valuable knowledge, but it may also be possible for them to acquire some high-quality bug-produced aircraft.
|
| |
Mysterious Shipments
For a while now, huge crates of equipment have arrived by air in one of our military bases. This has lead to much confusion, as no one ordered anything of the like. Just a few moments ago, it was revealed that these shipments contain some former Changeling tanks, still in good quality! They were apparently ordered by a high-ranking Changeling exile. This is a great opportunity for us to improve our army.
|
| |
A Blind Eye
Many Changelings are still on the run, having to flee their homeland because of simple ideological differences. And indeed, many of these bugs could be highly useful to the Greifwaldian nation. We should seek to set up ways to make it easier for "oppressed" Changelings to seek asylum in Greifwald. This will surely benefit our nation! After all, what could possibly go wrong?
|
||
Old Friends
Following our great accommodation of the Changeling high command, even more former generals and soldiers have made their way to Greifwald in search of refuge. Our officer cadre is now composed of some of the greatest military minds the world has to offer, and we will benefit immensely by it, no doubt.
|
||
Invite the Scientists
Many brilliant Changeling researchers were forced to leave their home, simply because of their political views. We have already established ourselves as a haven for any and all free thinkers, provided they have talent. By inviting more bug scientists to Greifwald, we should be able to significantly improve our scientific base.
|
||
Buggy Science
Towards the end of the war, the changelings have made significant scientific advances in some fields that might be considered...unorthodox. We could capitalise on this, and perhaps uncover great potential for ourselves, but it will require some...bending of the laws of Greifwald. Of course, in the long run it will definitely be worth it.
|
| |
A Change of Pace
"My fellow Griffons of Greifwald, I, Count Cloudet, am speaking to you today to ensure you all that any rumours of sudden changes in my demeanour are completely unfounded. I have simply been very busy lately, and it seems that the stress is getting to me. But fear not, due to our Changeling allies and their assistance, I am still able to fully administer our great nation. Worry not, citizens, for all will be well."
|
| |
Invite the Entrepreneurs
Many important Changeling entrepreneurs were forced to flee their home, but many managed to liquidate their assets, thus allowing them to retain most of their wealth. These bugs are now looking for new countries not only to settle in, but also to invest. This could be a golden opportunity for us to improve our industry.
