|---|---|---|
Alone In The Dark
The south-east rose up in support of the true Empress of the Night and should have been a strong centre of her support. But now, subversives in our lands have risen against us, thus we must fight long and hard to preserve what the night has gained. For the Empress! |
| |
Utilise The Hunting Rifles
With the abundance of wildlife in the South east, there is also an abundance of hunters. We can easily "commandeer" their weaponry for our forces and to support the war effort. Animals or ponies, it is no different.
|
|
|
The Badlands Trail
Since the traitor's revolt, no side has yet made their position permanant in the Badlands. It is almost entirely inhospitable and known for dragon habitats. But with our gift of the night we can establish a system of runners who will bring supplies from the more established territories in the north to aid us.
|
|
|
Weapon Requisition
Various investors in the south-east are sympathetic to our cause. We can be sure to receive some materiel support from many of these wealthy individuals. They will be richly rewarded once our campaign comes to a successful conclusion.
|
|
|
Guns Of The North
We have been able to secure a weapons cache from the Imperial government for our armies. May the night prevail!
|
|
|
Raid The Supply Lines
Now that we have secured our own supplies, we should ensure that none of the traitors can get enough to try to make a stand against us. Jungle warfare has proven to be quite demanding...
|
|
 Probing Raids
Harassed and plagued by bat pony raids, our forces are struggling to supply themselves properly. It will take some time for us to develop an effective response to these looters.

|
Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory
The government has considered one way to gain even stronger support from the bat population in the south-east. By embracing some unorthodox and downright despicable ideas. It matters not what is used to achieve victory, only that we are the last ones standing.
|
|
|
Negotiate With The Coltecs
One of the native tribes has always been on good terms with the bat population in the south-east. These Coltecs have over time formed many tribal alliances of their own. Their support would be invaluable to our cause.
|
|
|
Children Of The Moon
We must fully rally the native bat population to our side in order to win this war. Only together can we fulfill our Empress' goal and bring forth the eternal night. To war!
|
|
|
The Commander-In-Chief
Here comes the general! Rise up! Here comes the general! Rise up! The pride of the south-east! Marshal Stars Whirl! |
|
|
Improve The Supply Lines
It is estimated that about 20% of our supplies, materiel and other items are lost en route due to the horrible infrastucture condition. A full scale solution is not possible during wartime, but a dedicated corps for escorting our supply convoys, as well as clearing obstacles, could make all the difference.
|
|
|
Hidden Air Bases
If we were to use our air force conventionally, it would surely be destroyed, so instead we must make our air bases hidden, in caves, mountains, and jungles if needed. We shall strike like witches and demons of the night.
|
|
|
The Bat Cave System
We can use the underground system of bat caves that have existed for hundreds of years to gain a strong advantage against our foes. We could strike from any direction, but their locations won't remain a secret for long. It would be best to utilise them as effectively as we can.
|
|
 The Bat Caves
Using the caves thestrals have readily made their homes, we can strike at any location following some preparation and excavation. These attacks must be used sparingly lest the enemy discovers their location and retaliates with bombardment.
|
Localised Weapon Manufacturing
The Empress is most kind and loves her nightkin, but the reality of war means we cannot get all the firearms that we require. We must subsist ourselves, expand our existing workshops to produce more and more weapons. One of the benefits of the thestral biology is that we can work longer, but not necessarily better.
|
|
|
Underground Workshops
Deep in the jungles and the mountains, we can establish industrial centers to support our civilian war effort. Though, all must be used for the war in the end. Each sacrifice counts for the cause.
|
|
|
Northern Support
After winning skirmishes against loyalist forces near Hoofington, the Empress has seen fit to redirect a few units of the esteemed Night Guard to assist in our fight. Their expertise shall prove to be an invaluable assistance.
|
|
|
South-Eastern Shadowbolt Detachment
Marshal Stars Whirl has always been invested in air power even while serving as a minor military official before the Lunar rise. We can now leverage that position to get a group of Lunar pilots deployed to the south-east to assist in our efforts.
|
|
|
Forced Conscription
The bat population is not quite high enough to fill the ranks in our armies, and with other ponies tricked by propaganda, we must resort to extreme measures to get the numbers we need. Such are the necessities of war.
|
|
|
Masters Of The Night
Others shun and fear the night, but we are empowered by it! We will operate our forces under the nightcover instead of sweating under the harsh jungle sun. The ponies will suffer much less as a result.
|
|
 Masters Of The Night
The bat ponies' noctural nature makes them more suitable for operating during nighttime, when our foes are resting. This shall be exploited decisively.
|
Settling Old Debts
The ancient enemy of the Bats in the south-east are the Neighua tribe, who worship the sun in a cult like manner and crush any hope for peaceful co-existence in this region. And now our enemies use them against us! We must settle this ancient grudge for the good of all.
|
|
|
For The Empress!
Hail the night as we battle ever onward! We must win this war for the just rule of the Lunar Empire and its Empress! Never shall we falter or fail! Luna nobis custodit!
|
|
 For The Empress!
Hail the night and its goddess, for we march on to victory!
|
|
Our Fate
Our enemies now lie in the dirt, relics of the past. It is now time to determine the future of the Equestrian south-east region.
|
|
|
A New Government
The Empress has decreed that the south-east requires a more moderate touch in its dealing. A civilian government will be formed, and the gallant commanders who made our victory possible will be reassigned elsewhere. Only question is, who shall lead us?
|
|
|
Governor Starry Glory
The immigrant from Manehattan, Starry Glory has been chosen as the new leader of the governate. Extreme in his methods, he will surely make a unique leader.
|
|
|
A Thestral State
The primary policy of this regime should be to create a state by and for thestrals, to which no other impure species should corrupt or invade. Whatever the cost.
|
|
 Laying The Foundations
The state is establishing the foundations for a pure, thestral nation.
|
Welfare For The Thestrals
We should encourage the movement of thestrals to our new state by enacting extremely liberal welfare policies for all bat ponies in our nation. We shall endevor to make it a paradise.
|
|
 Thestral Welfare
Bat ponies have received special privileges and benefits over the non-thestrals, giving them a safety net. It is costly, but we must secure the existence and future for our thestral foals.
|
Amend Gun Ownership Laws
Every thestral should be prepared to defend himself and his state from any threat to it, while the natives should be made to give up their weapons so that they can never pose a threat to our new order. The social order will be very clear.
|
|
 New Weapon Ownership Laws
Gun ownership laws have been loosened, allowing more ponies to own them compared to before. In a region where one can be attacked at any moment, it is a relief. Additionally, more ponies are viable to join our armed forces due to their knowledge of using firearms.
|
The Native Resettlement Act
The centres of industry for our nation should be cleansed out from those native and loyalist elements who would sabotage our nation's wealth and productions. Our former native allies can live in their jungles, and the other three tribes... they can find somewhere for themselves. It's not a concern for us.
|
|
|
The Three Foals Policy
In order to boost the population of thestrals in our nation we should institute a law mandating that every thestral mother should produce at least three thestral foals. We'll prepare awards for those who end up with even more children, as well! As for anypony who isn't a bat pony... They should restrain themselves from reproducing or lose their welfare checks.
|
|
 The Three Foal Policy
The greatness of a race is determined by its numbers. In order to achieve supremacy, thestral mares must be encourages to produce at least three foals in their lifetime.
|
Stabilise The Situation
With our efforts to "minimise" the harmful effects of impure society, we can now conduct our efforts to finally rein in the cities. We shall act on all information we have against resistance members and native leaders still in the urban centres of our nation, and make sure they never cause trouble again.
|
|
 Discontent In The Cities
The civil war may have ended, but the animosity between common ponies has not waned in the slightest. Addressing this issue should be one of our first concerns, lest we suffer a second revolt.
|
Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory
We have finally succeeded in creating a true state for the thestrals one that shall never again be corrupted or sullied. The thestrals shall march on eternal in the service of their Empress. As our new land is her greatest and more pure servant.
|
|
A Thestral Homeland
The former Equestrian southeast has become a true haven for bat ponies. The other races and species are not so fortunate, and are treated as second class citizens.
|
The Final Battle
News from the Tenochtitlan military garrison! A tribal horde is closing in on the city, we may have a second war on our hooves... or a golden oppritunity to rout them once and for all.
|
|
|
Mass Reprisals
Since the wave of meat arrived to try to topple our control, we gained valuable information to strike back at them. Locations of resistance centres and native villages. And especially those who supported the native march. We shall take joy in making full use of all this.
|
|
|
Deal With The Leaders
The Neighua are the paramount resistance against our rule and act as a linchpin for other tribes to rally around. It is time to bring them down, and their allies in the Celestial resistance with them.
|
|
|
The Reservation System
With the great chaos caused by the actions of the savage natives, we have the full reason and authority to enact the greatest of Starry Glory's plans for making the south-east the best home for the thestrals that it can be. The complete confining of native populations to set areas. Of course they will still be protected by the government... and given plenty of work to do.
|
|
 The Reservation System
Starry Glory's solution to the rebellious native issue is to imprison them by the thousands in quickly built reservation camps, where they are forced to labour for little to no compensation.
|
Educational Reforms
If we are to operate as a constituent region of the Empire, we must bring our science to the same level as the rest of Equestria. The intel it gathers will also help in our effort to bring wealth and prosperity to the region.
|
|
|
Governor Light Narrative
The native thestral and newspaper reporter Light Narrative has been chosen to be the first governor of the south-east. He promises a more careful approach to the unstable region, one based on dialogue and facts.
|
|
|
The Velvet Glove
In order to maintain some order in our lands we should act as a velvet glove, subtly guiding the politics of the natives to be more friendly to our regime.
|
|
|
Deal With The Troublemakers
While we can try to convince the masses of our good will all we wish, there will always be the few who hold out against us. For these there will need to be a stronger response.
|
|
|
Open Dialogue With The Neighua
The Neighua still stand as a staunch solar bastion in these lands, a bastion that we must contain somehow, unless we wish it to serve as a beacon for further resistance against our rule.
|
|
|
The Paramount Chiefs
After making good with the native tribes we can ensure their support for us by establishing new autonomies based around tribal areas that can serve as units of government for the state. This way we can ensure representation for the native groups while not weakening our government. Though of course we reserve the right to remove these officials if they become... hostile.
|
|
 Native Autonomy
To facilitate better relations between the thestrals and natives, the latter are allowed autonomy in a limited fashion. While they do not hide their contempt for us, the natives remain content for now.
|
|
An Organic State
We must endeavour to make the south-east serve as a shining beacon of good will, liberty, and prosperity across the empire. For this we must create a new, robust government tailored specifically to our conditions.
|
|
|
Protect Local Governments
The Equestrian administration that existed before the Lunar revolt nearly completely collapsed in the south-east due to the turmoil here, and many are worried that they will lose the rights that they've had before the war. We should issue declarations assuring all the creatures of the south-east that we mean the best and intend to keep these autonomies... though they may need some reforming.
|
|
 Local Self-Rule
The state has elected to allow local self-rule instead of intervening in every aspect of society. Better results are expected.
|
Invest In The Future
In order to kickstart the economy of the south-east, the governor has requested an investment from the central government of the empire along with donations from private citizens. With these funds we can be sure to kick off the economy correctly in order to ensure a future of growth.
|
|
 Investing In The Future
The state has taken interest towards investing in the industrial sector, promising growth of our revenue for the near future and beyond.
|
Local Democracy
While the position of governor may never pass into the hooves of the people, we can ensure that local provinces can be guaranteed the right to elect local leaders. This will hopefully ensure the popular support for our nation.
|
|
|
Allow Non-Socialist Unions
Now that we control the industrial center of Baltimare, we also now control the shell of its industrial system that once existed. In order to revive it once again we can draw upon the strong will of the workers to organize in order to bring our industry back. These unions shall serve to restore the industrial heartlands of the south-east to what they were before. No marksists allowed though.
|
|
 The Union Act
Workers are once more allowed to form and join unions, after their ban during the civil war, provided that they do not attempt to spread marksist ideas.
|
Peace In Our Time
With our reforms to bring stability to the nation we can now declare that the periods of great unrest in our cities shall come to an end. Principles of local democracy and economic growth have made the people realise that the good times are only ahead of them. And despite whatever happened during the war, we are truly the government to represent them and their interests in the wider scheme of the Empire.
|
|
Discontent In The Cities
The civil war may have ended, but the animosity between common ponies has not waned in the slightest. Addressing this issue should be one of our first concerns, lest we suffer a second revolt.
|
A Shining Beacon
Unity has now been achieved in the south-east between the cities and the countryside, the thestrals and the natives, and the government with its people. We shall now enter a new age under the watchful eye of our empress, an age of prosperity like none have ever seen.
|
|
 The Jewel Of The South
The Equestrian southeast is a shining beacon of tolerance and wealth, where natives and bat ponies live together without excessive strife.
|
The Military Mandate
In order to simplify the process of administration in the south-east, Grand Marshal Stars Whirl has decided to remain in control of a military junta to effectively run the southeastern provinces, with the blessing of the Empress.
|
|
|
Blur The Lines
Currently two administrations exist in our region, the old civilian one that sided with Nightmare Moon in the civil war, and our new military administration. Their use has been spent, so the civilians will get an option to merge into the new administration or be left without a job.
|
|
|
Indefinite Martial Law
The Grand Marshal shall put out a decree declaring that military law is now the law of the land, and that anypony who defies it shall be treated as a traitor to the state. There can be no exceptions, or mercy.
|
|
|
Formalise The Military Frontier
While we have been granted a charter of authority by the Empress Nightmare Moon, we are not yet a true state, some still believe we are an in-between period and that civilian rule shall be restored. We must get rid of this pipe dream once and for all. And become what we were meant to be.
|
|
|
Militarise Education
The first lessons every thestral learns should be their ABCs, serving the Empress, and how to shoot a gun. These are the principles that shall keep this region loyal and productive. The remainder are frivolities and decadent excess.
|
|
 Militarised Education System
The national curriculum is being adjusted to cut on the frivolities and focus more on what truly matters: teaching our foals how to serve the state most effectively.
|
Create The Lunar Cadets
We should establish a youth organisation to train and teach the children of our nation about the true values of being a thestral. Separate branches will be formed to teach non-thestrals about the values of working hard and how lucky they are to be ruled by such a loving Empress as well. |
|
Militarised Education System
Any subject that does not teach how to operate a firearm, or serve the state has been removed from the national education board.
|
The Military-Industrial Complex
Since our state is one with the military, we should integrate the industry into this trifecta. The industrial output of the nation shall serve to increase the capabilities of our army first of all, and the unending righteous war against the enemies of the night shall have our citizens working as hard as they can to fuel it.
|
|
The Military-Industrial Complex
The union between industrial centres and military has proven to be most effective in getting materiel produced when it is needed the most.
|
|
Mandatory Military Service
Now that we have all these materials needed for war we simply need the ponypower to wage this war. Thestrals and non-thestrals alike that be obligated to serve in the military in a combat or non-combat role to supply all the ponypower we need to keep up our just fight.
|
|
|
|
Organise The Night Watch
In the jungles of the south-east one of the key factors to always keep in mind is that of intelligence. What do you know versus what do your enemies know. To solve this the Lunar Empire has the IIC, we should make our own branch of the intelligence services to suit our specific needs in the jungles.
|
|
 The Night Watch
There is always a thestral watching.
The Night Watch
There is always a thestral watching.
|
The Rubber Camps
One of the primary outputs of the south-east is rubber for cars, planes, and other products. The Imperial army has set high rubber quotas they expect to be delivered by the Military Frontier. With all the criminals we are rounding up, it seems there is an unending supply of cheap labour force.
|
|
|
Pacify The Cities
With soldiers marching through the streets, and corruptible bureaucrats replaced by good military bats, the socialists should realize that their dreams of revolution are over. Unrest and dissidents will not be tolerated anymore.
|
|
|
|
Pacify The Jungles
With our intelligence growing by the day, and many of their leaders and higher ups arrested. All of these native tribes should realize that resistance is futile and will only lead to more suffering.
|
|
|
|
An Army With A State
Here in the south east we have truly proved the superiority of military rule over all other forms. We are now the richest territory in the empire and export mass amounts of arms and materials to serve in the war efforts of the Empress. We shall always serve! Long live the Empress! |
|
An Army With A State
The Military Frontier has become the ideal ground for the training of elite thestral units to serve in the Empress' forces. Little thought is given to the other matters of the state, such as culture or civil rights. All must serve the night.
|
Reject The Nightmare
If this bloodshed is our future, then we want no part of it. The bat ponies might be Luna's favoured, but she is not our creator or our ruler, nor are we her thralls to wage battles for. We must take our future into our own hooves, for the good of all ponies in the south-east.
|
|
|
|
Unite The Tenanyotl
There are many thestral tribes in the region, each with their own agenda, and with various dialects, customs and culture. To bring together such a diverse group would be an exercise in futility, but we believe we could successfully convince them that working together is in our benefit against the outsiders.
|
|
|
|
Convince The Loyalists
Some ponies still cling to their false loyalties, believing the Nightmare to be their saviour and protector. And yet, the Nightmare has shown herself to be petty, vindictive and with little care for her subjects. Convince these stragglers that the jungle thestrals are their real family.
|
|
|
|
Gather The Moonspeakers
Each thestral tribe has its Moonspeaker, a religious leader in charge of the spiritual matters. They represent a tribe's culture and faith, and make many decisions for the benefit of their community. All of them must be gathered so we can decide our unified society's future, and choose an overall leader, as well.
|
|
|
The First Tlatoani
With the moonspeakers gathered, the grand conclave will decide who shall act as Tlatoani; king of all thestral tribes and interpreter of the Moon's will. Although the position is more ceremonial than executive, their presence will unite the nation and ensure stability.
|
|
|
The Good Doctor
The archeologist, Caballeron, remains alive after the war which tore asunder the southeast. Although not everypony is his fan, he is popular among native tribes, especially the Neighua, for his efforts in protecting their way of life. Certainly, common ground could be found.
|
|
|
Bury The Hatchet
With Caballeron on our side, we are in a much better position to negotiate a lasting peace with the native tribes, who fear the bat ponies. We must show them that not all thestrals are vicious and bloodthirsty, that everypony can live together in harmony regardless of their race.
|
|
|
Hayglian Dialectics
The points of contention between the thestrals and the natives are many, but the most pressing one is the matter of religion. The Neighua in their myths see the Moon as a negative influence, but the bat ponies rely on it as their guide through the night. We must mediate together to find a concrete solution.
|
|
The Grand Conclave
The Tzinacatl and the Neighua are making a difficult effort to reconcile over the differences in their faiths. They must be shown that the thestrals are not a race of devils and demons, but ponies like any other.
|
Redefine Tzinacatl Morality
Our old morals in which thestrals are considered to be above other races is quickly becoming outdated in the rapidly expanding world. No longer do we live by ourselves, but we share a large nation with ponies of every kind, and thus our method of thinking must evolve to ensure everypony can coexist together.
|
|
|
|
The Return Of The Prodigal Bats
A group of ponies can make an individual pony commit acts that he wouldn't consider committing on his own. Such pressure has resulted in many bat ponies supporting the Nightmare even if they did not agree, out of fear. Let it be known that anypony who desires peace, can live here in the southeast.
|
|
A Return To The Homeland
The jungles and cities of southeast welcome home any thestral who wishes to return to their place of origin.
|
Codify The Faith
With so many schisms and outright heresies spread amongst the many offshots of the thestral faith, the Tlatoani has decided it would be beneficial to put to the paper of what officially is part of the religion, and what is not. Such an effort would further our efforts in unifying the tribes, especially after casting down Luna.
|
|
|
The Dual Judicial System
A pony's religion can define their actions, regardless of how conventional morality would rule an action to be proper or not. In the interest of mediation, our courts must take note of the litigants' personal beliefs, and consult an expert's guidance on obtaining a fair judgement.
|
|
 The Dual Judicial System
To complement our existing secular courts, religious courts have been established to deal with ponies whose spiritual beliefs contradict conventional morality.
|
|
Meet With Chafer
Of the socialists who led the unsuccessful revolt, there are many differing and often contradictory ideologies. The one named Cricket Chafer is most suitable to convince the others to cooperate with us, if he himself can be persuaded. Perhaps his fondness of corn can be used in our favour.
|
|
|
|
Preserve Democratic Institutions
Although our nation can be loosely considered a kingdom, we do not operate in the traditional sense of the word. Namely, we do not seek to control every aspect of society, nor would we intervene in local politics. As long as everypony follows the law, local communities are free to manage themselves as they see fit.
|
|
|
Encourage Communalism
Ponies do not always trust each other. Natives, bat ponies, socialists: they all stick to their self contained groups distrustful of one another. A system of communes must be founded to encourage ponies to mingle, to share their available resources together, maintaining harmony and peace for the near future.
|
|
 The Red Tribes
To placate the socialists, the state is encouraging them to establish their own communes in Baltimare. This limited autonomy should encourage them to be more productive and deflate any remaining anger.
|
|
The Organic Kingdom
For the first time in centuries, the bat ponies have their own nation, ruled by their own laws and traditions, and free of foreign interferences. Additionally, lasting peace has been made between the thestrals and the native tribes, and this peace is what we strive to keep and maintain. We shall distance ourselves from the world.
|
|
An Organic Kingdom
In spite of the terror and brutality that swept through the region, the indigenous thestrals have come to the top and established their first kingdom in centuries. With the banishment of the extremist elements from our society, peace is expected to prevail for the near future.
|
|
The South-Eastern Economic Plan
With the political situation secured, we can now divert our attention to the economy. The question remains where should we primarily invest our funds, the coastal cities, or the resource filled countryside? The choice is up to [NMS.GetLeader].
|
|
|
Focus On The Countryside
We have made the decision to focus on our extensive countryside to bring in the bits. From plantations to mines, there's plenty of resources to exploit, and enough work force - willing or not, to use.
|
|
|
Coffee Plantations
One of the many crops that grows well in these jungles is the coffee bean. It is rather simple to grow in our nation and sells at a premium across the world. We can use this to create a strong commercial base for our growing economy.
|
|
|
|
The Rubber Industry
One of the primary product of the jungles is rubber, a necessity in both modern civilian life and military goods. By increasing the efficiency at which we harvest rubber, we can massively increase what we can contribute to the nation overall.
|
|
|
Clear The Jungles
In order to make the collection and transportation of goods far easier and quicker, we should work on clearing large pathways in the jungles to serve as roads for our workers and troops to protect those workers.
|
|
|
The Riches Of The South-East
By using the material wealth of the jungles, we have effectively reversed the economic decline caused by the war over this land, and have begun to make money again. With this we can reinvest into the economy in order to make our region profitable again.
|
|
 The Riches Of The Jungle
The mighty jungle only waits to be exploited to the fullest.
|
Diamond Mining
One of the most lucrative industries in the Aztlan jungles are its diamond mines. We can harvest vast quantities of this beautiful gemstone to use in jewelry and industry. Whether exporting or manufacturing it, there are no wrong ways to have diamonds.
|
|
The Riches Of The Jungle
Plantations of rubber and coffee, gold and diamond mines, trees for the logging and furniture industry, the jungle provides us great wealth, at the cost of developing our coastal cities.
|
The Logging Industry
From the forests of the Aztlan we can harvest many high quality woods that are desired by the elites throughout the world. We can make the most exquisite furniture and other wood products in the world, and use it to finance further growth.
|
|
|
The South-Eastern Highway
Regardless of our wish to industrialise or make use of our resources, the need to create efficient means of transportation is still there. We can not have goods or resources anywhere without the ability to move them. And for that we should construct a new highway system to serve our industrial needs.
|
|
|
Hydroelectricity Projects
The great rivers of the Aztlan are untamed sources of power, and we wish to harness them. Using the newest hydroelectric technology we can construct great dams to harvest the power of water in order to fuel our industrial expansion.
|
|
|
Focus On The Industrial Centers
We have made the decision to focus on our existing manufacturing centres for our industry. They only need a light push to become beacons of industry again.
|
|
|
The Steel Mills Of Baltimare
In order to fuel our industry we will need raw resources. The old steelworks of Baltimare can be revitalised to serve as a hub of our new expansion.
|
|
|
Revitalise Baltimare
The Baltimare industrial centers had fallen out of misuse in the passive era of harmony, it is time to put the citizens of Baltimare to work once again.
|
|
|
The Armouries Of Stableside
Stableside has long served as a self sufficient center of military power in southern Equestria, unfortunately the Lunar commander stationed there was overthrown and never got to mobilise the base for our purposes. Now that we control it though, we can finish what he started and put the Stableside armouries to work once again.
|
|
|
The New Industrial Revolution
Our new industrial centers are serving as a basis for the flourishing of our nation's economy once again. From the forests to the factories, workers churn away, building a new future for our people in the south-east!
|
|
The New Industrial Revolution
The coastal ports of Baltimare, Stableside and Saltmane are given the state's primary attention for continued development.
|
Public Works Projects
While our industries are profitable and produce many goods, they do not hire as many people as agriculture would employ. As such the issue of unemployment is still present. We can solve this with public works projects meant to provide everyone with some kind of work.
|
|
The New Industrial Revolution
Our coastal towns are among the most industrialised cities across the entire Equus.
|
Further Industrial Development
With our new and revitalized economy we can pursue further industrial projects across the nation. There is always room for more expansion.
|
|
|
Computing Projects
Electronics are key to any industry, whether it is based on factories or mines. We should try to stay one step ahead of the curve.
|
|
|
Modern Industrial Methods
Modern industrial methods are needed both to refine our goods and to improve our production, they are key to our continued prosperity. Our chief engineers have come up with plans to expand our manufacturing capabilities, and they seem very promising.
|
|
|
Synthetic Oil Experiments
While we are gifted with rubber, we do not hold the oil fields of Appleloosa, and so we should experiment with making our own oil artificially, so that we do not need to rely on the whims of our trade partners too much.
|
|
|
|
The Baltimare Technical Institute
With the development of our economy, we can now sponsor new scientific developments at a new university in our capital of Baltimare. Forward into the future!
|
|
|
The South-Eastern Regional Command
The soldiers have proven their worth in the civil war, but now we must standardise our forces, our training and even types of weapons we use. The Empress requires a professional standing force, and we shall deliver it.
|
|
|

A Brand New Army
For our army we must use everypony we have, natives and all. Restricting our army to just thestrals would hold us back and discard valuable ponypower that could be used.
|
|
 A Decentralised Army
Despite the issues with thestrals and natives, we've decided to allow both to serve in our forces as full soldiers. The natives are slow to join, but seeing futility in further resistance, they may change their minds soon enough.
|
Mastery Of The Jungle
With our locally sourced troops, and the willingness to fight to the last to defend their land, we can make use of their expertise in jungle warfare to enhance our armies.

|
Local Armouries
Building a set of armouries across our largest cities would ensure that even the most plain garrison troops would have a weapon in times of emergency. Everypony must have a way to defend themselves in this hostile land.
|
|
|
|
Guerilla Warfare Training
Hit and run tactics are easy to make use of in the jungle, and we should capitalize on this to train our entire army in some form of guerilla warfare. Our foes will come to see the jungles as Tartarus!
|
|
|
Decentralised Command Structure
By holding various points of command all over the nation we can much more easily direct affairs without requiring central headquarters to issue every order. By allowing local officers to make decisions, we can create a group of capable and intelligent native and thestral officers who will perform admirably to defend their land.
|
|
Autonomous Officers
Inflexible planning has given way to officers making their decisions on the spot according to the situation, allowing us to be more flexible on the field.
|
Native Officers
During the war many members of the Coltecs and other tribes fought in our armies, we can reward them now by sending them off to train in our military schools to become full fledged generals in their own right.

An Autonomous Army
Through our reforms our army can now operate with peak efficiency in the terrain it is given, an army of those how call this land home, and who will die defending every inch of it from any enemy who would dare to threaten it.
|
|
A Decentralised Army
Our army might be hard to control and discipline, but central command has decided that the numbers we're fielding more than make up for that fact.
|
|
An Army Of Bats
How could we trust these natives to do the job of a thestral?! They lack both the combat ability and the discipline needed to serve the Empress, and we should make that clear in our recruitment policy.
|
|
An Army Of Bats
You can't trust a native to serve the Empress. It is but a trick to strike against us when the time is right. Only bat ponies are allowed to serve as soldiers.
|
Native Auxiliaries
The odious natives are not without their uses, doing tasks that are below a pureblooded thestral. Namely, digging latrines and trenches.

The Finest Equipment
As the finest soldiers in the Empire, bat ponies deserve to own the most contemporary and efficient weapons, that do not break regardless of conditions in the field. No matter the cost.

|
A New Nimbusia
Like our distant relatives to the East, we have made a new army where only the best shall serve and only the best shall win, every bat in our army is proud to be in it, and shall serve as the most elite of her Empress' defenders!
|
|
An Army Of Bats
It matters little how low our recruitment numbers are, thestrals are better than any other pony race and as such must be celebrated at any occasion. They are the Empire's finest soldiers.
|
|
Only The Finest Officers
The best and brightest shall lead our forces, and who would be better suited than these fine bat ponies who have proven their mettle during the civil war? May their example inspire our forces to greater feats of bravery and courage.

|
Only The Finest Training
Our military staff must go through the most rigorous of all training programs in order to lead our troops into battle. This will ensure the tactical supremacy of our soldiers on the field.
|
|
The Finest Training
The recruit training might be brutal and trauma inducing, but those who pass are the finest troops we can muster. Most bat ponies do pass, only proving the superiority of our race.
|
Through Tartarus And Back
Our warriors are willing to go to the depths of death itself and march right back out again with nary a scratch on them in order to serve the great Lunar Empress!
|
|
|
Doctrinal Development
While we can develop our command all we like we must also invest in the style in which our soldiers fight, to pick how our military shall operate on a strategic level.
|
|
|
|
Standardised Rifles
In the civil war our troops were armed with a mix of Lunar standard rifles, native weapons, hunting guns, and some shovels we found in a hole. We must make sure this never happens again by producing a standard rifle variation for everypony to call their own.
|
|
|
The Modern Cannon
While the jungles are not exactly the best place for artillery, they are still a major part of warfare, and we should not lag behind in its development.
|
|
|
Dedicated Support Squads
Support teams to back up our normal military units should be used to their fullest advantage to improve the fighting ability of our troops. Whether it's supportive ordnance, engineers to dig a trench or even medics to escort our wounded out of the field, our forces shall lack nothing.
|
|
|
Limited Tank Implementation
Armored vehicles have been in theorising for a long time now and saw limited use during the Lunar Civil War, we should put our own efforts towards developing these steel behemoths. We certainly don't intend to have them fight in the jungles, but they can and will be deployed elsewhere in Equus.
|
|
|
The Jackalope
Using all of the rubber at our disposal it would be insane to think that we should not try to develop a motorized army branch to serve as a quick moving response force for our infantry. Unlike tanks, they can be customised more easily to adapt to the harsh terrain in the southeast.
|
|
|
|
The Army R&D Department
When improving the army one often comes across many other useful discoveries. A dedicated research group for improving our military technology and adapting it eventually for civilian usage would be a perfect thing to have.
|
|
|
The South-Eastern Navy
The navy stationed in the south-east has absconded to unknown whereabouts, leaving us with no protection should a naval invasion occur. So it falls to us to build up a new one from scratch.
|
|
|
|
The Baltimare Dockyards
The wharves and docks of Baltimare have suffered extensive damage during the civil war. A rebuilding program is in order to commence with the expansion of our navy.
|
|
|
The Stableside Dockyards
The Stableside harbour has escaped devastation, and only needs a few minor improvements to kickstart our naval program. Additionally, it is only practical to have multiple naval bases dedicated for construction of specific ships.
|
|
|
The Southern Coast Guard
The coast guard shall be one of the key factors in our new naval command. It shall serve to protect the southern shipping lanes to maintain the lifeblood of the rubber and oil export economies of the south.
|
|
|
Heavier Plating
The ever increasing armaments used at sea requires to place increasingly thicker armour plates on our ships. In order to effectively do so without compromising the ship's sailing ability, funds will be given towards developing a cruiser variant.
|
|
|
The Saltmane Dockyards
The docks at Saltmane are exposed but are in deep water, making them excellent for the construction of larger vessels. Naval production should no longer struggle with lack of facilities.
|
|
|
The Hidden Navy
Undersea ships have been floating around for a while now, but especially with our comparatively weak industrial base we should look towards implementing these designs in our navy. They shall wreak havoc on our foes' shipping lanes.
|
|
|
Light Battleships
Heavier cruisers can serve as pursuit vessels while still packing a punch, these vessels can serve as a core of our fleet power as they are cost effective and work well in various situations.
|
|
|
Doctrinal Development
In the war rooms of the admiralty plans are being drawn up for how a naval war would be executed, and one must be chosen eventually, lest we be left unprepared.
|
|
|
The War Navy
The strongest and most largest warships may take years to build, but their power is unmatched and having even one to our name could make the difference in future wars. Efforts shall be placed into adapting old heavy hulls to carry the devastating guns and impenetrable armour at our disposal.
|
|
|
Carrier Experiments
The idea that a plane beats a ship has been around since the first naval bomber was developed, but the idea of putting a plane on a ship to beat a ship is still relatively new. We should follow it though and work on the development of aircraft carriers.
|
|
|
The South-Eastern Admiralty
We have successfully designed and built a naval force on our own, worthy of competing with minor powers around the world. All this requires a central board of admirals to oversee and direct this fledgeling navy into greater heights.
|
|
 The South-Eastern Admiralty
Our recent advancements in ship building have given us great insight in how to operate and improve a naval force.
|
The Aztlan Airforce
With the abundance of both rubber and aluminium in our lands, we should work towards establishing an airforce to serve us in the skies.
|
|
|
Import Fighter Craft
Airplanes have shown their worth in the strife that transpired across Equestria. The beginning of our nascent air force should be obtaining a decent fighter blueprint, followed by production and recruitment.
|
|
|
Fighter Craft Development
The core of all airforces is the fighter, and so with this we should ensure that ours are the best they can be. It is the requirement for all other aerial developments.
|
|
|
Supporting Our Troops
The war on the land still must be won regardless of how the war in the skies is fought, and so we should develop aircraft with the sole purpose of supporting our ponies on the ground.
|
|
|
Design Bomber Craft
Bomber airplanes may perform poorly in the thick jungles where targets are hard to spot, but we certainly don't intend to bomb ourselves. Instead, such an airplane would prove useful in defending against any assaults, and provides a base for further designs and improvements.
|
|
|
Tactical Bombers
Tactical bombers are strong and versatile, being able to serve multiple uses for our airforce. Worth the investment, the results will quickly follow.
|
|
|
Strategic Bombers
Targeted strategic bombers can be used to cripple enemy industry and infrastructure and to paralyse their army without directly targeting it.
|
|
|
Construct the Airstrips
In order to host our air force though we will need to expand our existing air bases, there shall be no more launching planes out of tree canopies or caves anymore.
|
|
|
Train The Pilots
Or pilots must make sure that they are trained to fly the craft we have produced, lest we have a flying dud in the sky. Flying an airplane is much harder than it looks.
|
|
|
Heavy Fighter Projects
Heavy fighters can serve as ground combat aircraft, air to air combat craft, or as escorts for our bombers. Such a useful plane would definitively be worth our interest.
|
|
|
|
The Night Squadrons
Unlike many ponies dotting the land of Equestria, thestrals are nocturnal beings, and enjoy heightened senses of direction when the Moon is bright. We would be wise to use this natural advantage in the interest of maintaining national superiority, and have our pilots trained to perform in nighttime conditions.
|
|
 Nighttime Terrors
No amount of training and practice can match a bat pony's nocturnal sight, giving us an advantage in conducting nighttime operations.
|
|
Masters Of The Sky
From humble beginnings, the thestrals of the southeast have developed a respectable airforce with determined pilots, all to the last. All shall fear the sight of a bat pony plane as their foe.
|
|
 Children Of The Moon
Thestrals are born to fly, and this is reflected in their finesse with operating airplanes.
