The Council Deliberates
Every seven years, the Chieftains of the tribes of Farbrook come together to discuss their plans for the future, as well as who will head the Council until next time. Cenhelm has led us well these last years, but some wonder if he is too soft to save us in the dark times that look to be brewing ahead.

Ally With The White Hooves
Chieftain Gering and his White Hooves clan are far and away the most miltaristic of all the ponies of Farbrook. However, they are engaged in a near-constant battle with our nascent Communist party, whom they despise. If we were to allow them to enter our government, we should be able to control their violent impulses and turn their energies towards useful pursuits, instead of fostering insurrection.
|
||
| ||
Ally With The N.E.S.P.
The North Eastern Socialist Party is a ragtag group of Communists, Anarchists, and moderate Socialists that propose sweeping reforms to our current way of life. While we cannot go so far as to give them what they want, we can use them as valuable allies against Gering and his cronies if we grant them concessions.

Drill For Oil
With our newfound technology, we now finally have the capability to drill deep into the rock just offshore of Farbrook Harbor, and we have made an incredible discovery! Farbrook lies directly on top of a massive deposit of oil, just waiting to be tapped! Drilling into this resource will be a massive boon for our nation.
|
||
Radical Leadership
The Council has lost faith in Cenhelm's ability to lead us. The lot now falls between two ponies. Applethorn is Chief of the Tanglebriar Tribe, and absorbed strange ideas during her youth spent in Prywhen. On the other hoof, Hermane Gering, the stern warrior chief of the White Hooves clan, with his dreams of Empire.
|
||
| ||
| ||
The Warrior Tithe
Up until now, we have had a very haphazard military, mostly thrown together from the warriors that individuals tribes could spare. This will not do for our glorious new state! We must institute the Warrior's Tithe - each tribe must send a certain percentage of their young stallions to serve in the armed forces or face severe punishment.

Beseech The Emperor
The wretched River Federation stands in the way of our ambitions. Despite our rocky history with them, the Griffonian Empire is a strong and rising power that we could use as a means to an end. We shall send a proposition to Griffenheim, offering our loyalty in exchange for aid. The fools...
|
| |
Visit To Jezeragrad
While most Riverponies are soft and weak, Prince Heavenly Snow of Lake City is a different kind of pony. He truly understands what it means to be strong! He would make a useful ally in our quest for National Glory. Even if he were not, the fact remains that he has guns, and we need guns.
|
|
|
| ||
| ||
A Military Exchange
Our newfound allies have much to teach us, but we also have much we can show them. In particular, we are experienced in the ways of mountain warfare, while they have better guns than we do. We will offer them a trade - we will train their soldiers in the intricacies of mountain warfare, in exchange for assistance with modernising our firearms.

The Southern Question
Now that Gering has achieved some of his goals, the question inevitably rises as to what to do regarding the lands to the South and East. They are bountiful and would be good to conquer, but Gering must carefully measure the balance of power in the region before making a decision - a wrong turn here could mean the end of his regime.

The Stab In The Back
How could we ever align ourselves permanently with RIVERPONIES - the very worst enemy of our own race, next to Griffons? It should be obvious to any educated pony that oaths made to such savages cannot be considered binding. We will take advantage of their gullibility, and destroy them!
|
|
|
Rapprochement With The Coalition
Our current gains are substantial in and of themselves, and it would be foolish to overstretch ourselves when we are already near our limit. Now that we have taken Lake City, we should push for friendly relations with the remaining Coalition members, so that we can consolidate our gains.

West Is The New North
In the past, many hillponies have harbored ill sentiments towards the Griffons of the West, but our wise and broad-minded Chieftain sees beyond such petty tribalism. He recognises that the Griffons of the West represent a superior culture to our own, and that it would only be to our benefit to emulate them and learn from them.
|
|
|
A New Duke In The North
Now that we have begun our Westernisation program, it is only fitting that we modernise not only our technology but our government. Since we are planning formal integration into the Empire, it would be unseemly to continue to use the barbaric title of "Chieftain". Farbrook will be reorganised as a Duchy, and the legal code will be changed to be more like that of Griffonia.
|
||
Griffonian Cultural Reform
Now that our technology and our laws more closely match those of our western neighbours, it is only logical that we should adopt their manners also. Greifensprache will be adopted as the official language of our nation, and our nobles will follow after the styles of the Imperial Court. Surely, this shows our sophistication?

Marry A Princess
Now that we have thoroughly acculturated ourselves to the Griffons of the West, we look every inch a Griffonian nation. There remains only one thing left to secure our position - a true Royal Marriage, with one of the deceased Emperor's young cousins, no less! Though the marriage may be...complicated, I'm sure it will work out.
|
|
|
A King In The North
In a solemn ceremony at the Royal Halls, Chieftain Gering was today granted the title of King of The North. To the jubilant crowds on onlookers, the new King declared that the hillponies were now a truly great nation, and vowed to protect and guide them every day of his life, till his bloodline should fail.
|
| |
|

|
Only pure-blooded hillponies have full rights in our nation. The hillponies of the Riverlands are thrilled about this, and are joining our armies more readily.
| |
Honor Our Oath
We achieved this victory through the aid of our stalwart allies, the Griffon Empire, and promised them fealty. Now that we have achieved victory, we shall appeal for formal membership of the Empire. Farbrook will become the greatest Grand Duchy of the Empire, and Gering its greatest Arch-Duke.

First Worker's Constitutional Congress
The Revolution has been successful! Now that the reactionaries have been suppressed, it falls to us to safeguard the Socialist State by electing a leader to guide us. We have a choice between Applethorn, the well-travelled mare of the world, and Hempstrand, a former community leader of Watertown.
|
| |
Applethorn's Revolutionary Vanguard Party
Comrade Applethorn spent her youth adventuring in the south, and spent years working for the Prywhen People's Liberation Army. She sees the backwardness of Farbrook as an obstacle, and wishes to rapidly industrialise and arm the nation to advance the cause of the workers of the world.

Hempstrand's Socialist Agrarian Party
Hempstrand used to be a community leader in nearby Watertown before he was expelled on trumped-up grounds. He believes that it is more important to make the lives of the workers of Farbrook fairer and more equitable. He advocates for peace, happiness, and a retreat from the industrial world.
|
| |
First Principle: Harmony With The Land
Hempstrand recognises that much of the evil in the world comes from our inability to live in a correct relationship with nature. To this end, we must abolish the false distinctions we make between ourselves and the creatures of the earth - such things as stone buildings, plows, and industrial machines must all go!

Revive The Blue Flag Pirates
Though they haven't existed for over a hundred years, the adventures of Captain Mainsail and his Blue Flag Pirates are the stuff of legend in Farbrook. While we have more advanced technologies nowadays, these old tales can quite easily be repurposed into rip-roaring propaganda to increase the morale of our warriors.

Construct A Capital Ship
Bakaran Doctrine focuses on Capital Ships - but we don't exactly have the resources to build many of those. We should focus on the small things first - put all of our efforts into designing and building one great ship, and use that as the backbone of our navy. The only choice left is whether to build a Battleship or a Carrier.
|
| |
Seaplanes
Now that we have developed the beginnings of an airforce, we have turned our attention to another innovation we have heard tell of. They tell of aircraft shrunk down to a size such that they can be fit on a large ship, and can be launched from it as if it were a mobile airbase. Such a thing would surely be a powerful asset...
