The Riaportu Congress
To break through the political stalemate plaguing the free towns of Gryphus, Chairgriffon de Viartorré has convened a great congress to be held in Riaportu. Representatives from all corners of Gryphus, from the Order of Opinicus to the Gryps-Süd GmbH are going to attend as we choose the future of our nation.

The Economic Debate
To say that the economy of Gryphus has been focused on the coast is an understatement. The traders of the coastal merchant cities control most of the wealth. The representatives from the interior have urged us to develop their lands as well to lessen the economic disparity within the country.
|
| |
The Linguistic Debate
One of the clearest dividing lines in the nation is the issue of language. In these lands the knights speak Herzlandisch, the city-dwellers Sicameonese and the locals Gryphussian. Concerns have been raised if the nation needlessly limits itself by only treating Sicameonese as the language of the government. Should provisions be made for other languages as well?

The Power of the Company
The Gryphusische Südkontinent-Gesellschaft has been a force in the region ever since it first arrived. Enormous wealth has flown through its claws and will continue to do so. There are those, however, who argue that the company is too powerful and should be checked, pointing out that the company doesn't have a history of settling for what it has.
|
| |
The Power of the Free Towns
The Free Towns may have started out as just a bunch of small towns meant to host GSG trade outposts but over the centuries they have grown to be much more. The question has been raised if these towns should be given greater autonomy to actually become 'free' as the name suggests.

The Gryphus Southern Continent Company
The Gryphusische Südkontinent-Gesellschaft/Gryps-Süd GmbH, otherwise known as "La Compañía Continental del sur de Gryphus" is a trade company founded centuries ago in Queruscos by local merchants. Emperor Grover III granted them an Imperial charter in 874 that gave them full rights to all commerce in the Gryphus sea. While they have retained their Griffish title as an homage to their Herzlander patron, they no longer have any overlord to keep them in check and have exploited southern markets without anyone to stop them. They profited greatly from exporting Prywhenian rice and were blamed by some to have caused the famine that followed. This only served to add to their reputation as greedy and ruthless merchants who placed profit above all else.

Crackdown on Competitors
Competition is a sign of health in a free market, but doesn't that swing both ways? If the smaller companies of the region truly were healthy, they shouldn't struggle so if we apply some more... creative pressures to them. After all, all we do is weed out the unhealthy companies of the region.
|
||
Expropriate the Commons
If the market is to be truly free, we can't indulge these romantic ideas or "natural parks" or "public spaces", and neither can we limit what resources are avilable for private development. Water and access to infrastructure are tradeable properties as well. It's free real estate!
|
||
Hire Corporate Paramilitaries
There's been plenty of rumbling in the region recently as the previously babied populace now has to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. Adding to this, the police does not seem to be much help after we defunded them. To redeem this, we have decided to significantly expand the Company's security detail.
|
| |
No Such Thing As Society
It's a comforting fantasy to those without the skills to get ahead in life, but this notion of "society" is just that; a fantasy. The region has reached the state that we can finally start dissolving these useless roadblocks to progress, and if that means that some useless welfare queens will go away, all the better.

Gryps-Süd GmbH Private Institute for Higher Education
Our industries need highly qualified labor, and we certainly are not going to rely on the public sector to provide enough between all the art and history majors they busy themselves with producing. Instead we shall invest in producing one of the best universities in the region, with jobs lined up and waiting for our graduates.

Strengthen the Gryphussian Constitution
The waters of Gryphussian politics have more than its share of predators swimming through it. As our first step, we shall amend the constitution to shore our nation up legally and make sure there are safeguards to ensure we never have to deal with situations like these again.
|
| |
Institución Para El Desarrollo Armónico
As part of our development of this nation, we have a unique chance to make it a learning experience. After all, the progress that needs to be made is a golden opportunity to try out new techniques and methods as well. Let us make use of this and teach what we learn to the rest of the world.
|
||
Empower Indigenous Griffons
After recent events it seems like it would be helpful to make sure that the indigenous Gryphussians are well represented among the armed forces. They have little love for neither the Order, nor the Company, and that could be very useful if things ever go south. We can ensure their loyalty by granting them full rights and citizenship.
|
| |
Education and Healthcare
We must make sure to provide for the needs of our people. A healthy, literate citizen is much more productive and therefore of much greater use to the nation. Also, we should make sure to limit the influence of the private sector just in case the Gryps-Süd GmbH gets any ideas...
|
||
Citizenship for All
We are still an underdeveloped nation, yet one with boundless potential. What we need more than anything else are more claws in our fields. Let us make it easy for ourselves and open the borders wide, giving everygriff who wants to come here a chance. Just make sure the knights are told so they don't think it's an "invasion".
|
||
Ustawa o Robotach Publicznych
We're not going to remain just a bunch of towns separated by wilderness. To this end, we have prepared a comprehensive government program that will subsidize and encourage construction projects throughout the nation. Also, just in case, we've added in a clause about needing to deliver on promises.

The Military Order of Opinicus
The Militärorden der Brüder vom Herzlandisch Haus der Heiligen Opinicus, simply called the Order of Opinicus by most, is a brotherhood of knights established by Emperor Grover II during his military campaigns in the Riverlands. They were given the sacrosanct task of guarding the southern border of the Empire against pony scum, and have loyally fulfilled their duty ever since. However, the leaders of the order have grown increasingly tired of merely sitting in place and think they should go on the offensive. Unfortunately for them, the Gryphussian government would never allow them to do such a thing. Unless they get rid of the government and assume direct control over the nation, that is...

Reinforce the Aerieschloss
There is a darkness to the northeast; a land tainted by evil magic and by ponies just waiting to lash out at us. By order of the grandmaster, the fortifications along the border shall be restored and upgraded so that the Order may never again fail in its most central duty.
|
| |
Repress the Savages
For too long, the savages in the north have been allowed to run rampant, acting as though they are the masters of the forest and the hills. It is time to remind them of their place in the order of things; the bottom. Let them know that either they start will behaving like civilized griffons or they will leave.
|
||
Cleanse the Debauched
Our cities have been havens of sin for too long. Now we cleanse it through book burnings, shutting down nests of vice and arresting those who would violate the good morals of our citizens. We will burn out the rot and leave only the good, strong core of the nation's values behind.
|
||
The Order and the State
We are no longer an amusing anachronism to be banished to the wilds! From today and onwards we ARE Gryphus! We define what this nation is and we determine its course! With the gods as our witnesses, the Order of Opinicus has claimed its rightful position. Now, we look forward to determine what the future will hold for us.

All's Fair in Love and War
We must be reasonable. The Free Towns have been in a state where more overt power grabs were not only a realistic tactic, but almost expected. Are we going to pretend that the griffons who played the game just as we were suddenly are evil for it? Let's instead get some good mileage out of some good old amnesty.
|
| |
The Viartorré Accord
The time has come to set down a new set of rules for the region. Until now, the political arena was rough and dirty by design. If we wish to clean it up we must establish new rules clearly and without loopholes to be exploited. If we can get all sides to agree to these accords, we just may have managed to civilize not just the land, but its politics as well.

The Pythagoros Naval Institute
They say it takes 300 years to build a naval tradition and the Free Towns have been here even longer than that. Between all the smugglers, pirates and 'honest seafarers' around, our nation has plenty of knowledge available, and our Admiralty has the wherewithal to make use of these experiences.

The Gryphussian Cazadores
A special training regime for our knights will let us make the most use of them in more unconventional situations. Our Free Towns do not need stiff paladins, but canny hunters. The Gryphussian Cazadores shall form our absolute elite and make a name for themselves wherever the Free Towns call them.
|
The knights of the southern griffonian country of Gryphus wear less armour than their counterparts up north in order to fight better in the forests of their native terrain. The undeniable efficiency of their unorthodox doctrines and equipment have since earnt them the title of "Cazadores", meaning "Hunters".
| |
| ||
| ||
The Gryphussian Esprit de Corps
Ours is a legacy of adventurers and swashbucklers, who took on whatever challenges appeared with great aplomb and enthusiasm. This spirit of facing down danger with eagerness and gusto is what makes our soldiers among the best there are. So with that said: Adelante, Vorwärts and Do przodu!
|
Gryphussian Esprit de Corps
We Gryphussians may not have the flashiest uniforms or the latest military hardware, but we fight to protect our brothers-in-arms on the battlefield, and this camaraderie is all we need.

Modern mining tehniques are being used to extract more ore from the mines.

Purchase Foreign Electronics
This brand new concept of "electronics" is beyond fascinating, and we have been making use of a lot of our contacts to get our claws on these things. Considering how things are going, electronical equipment may well become something for the common griffon. When it does, we want to be in on that market.

The Great Ribs of Tiefbrunnen
Deep in the Night Forest rests the bones of a creature larger than anything we have seen before. These bones rise over a dozen stories high and are a source of immense potential. The resources available through these bones could supply all of Gryphus and more. It is time to organize an expedition.

Abolish Private Property
One of our first priorities in order to break the hold of the capitalists is to do away with the large, privately owned estates and factory complexes that dot the nation. They belong to those who would have torn the nation asunder for their own greed, it is no more than right that they pay the price.
|
||
Universal Education
Keep the workers illiterate so they cannot read revolutionary books. Keep the natives illiterate so they will struggle to organize. It was an effective scheme, but it's time to break it and equip each griffon in the nation with the skills and knowledge that modern education provides.

Liberty In Lushi
In their little corner of Griffonia, the feudal lords of Lushi have been allowed to fester for centuries. Too irrelevant for anyone to care about, they've been sitting unquestioned in their castles for too long. It is time for even this piece of Griffonia to feel the fires of the Revolution!

Local Workers' Militias
If the worst comes to pass and the reactionaries come to break us, we will defend Gryphus to the very end. All workers will be given the skills and the tools to defend their homes. That way, even if our enemies seize our land the question will be how much they are willing to pay to hold onto it.
|
||
Ally With The Prelate
The Prelate of Gryphus is a reasonable griffon. He has not railed against us or encouraged dissent, rather he has kept to providing solace and advice to those who will listen. Why make an enemy of such a griffon when we can make him an ally and work together for the people's benefit?
|
| |
Korzenizacja
No one who lives in these lands should consider themselves an outsider. All peoples, whether new here or having lived here since forever, should have a place and a voice. Like how the Sicameonese and the Herzlanders came here and made this their home, so other peoples and nations should be able to as well.
|
||
A Haven Of Liberty
Day by day, we are becoming more and more free. Free from the worries of disease and hunger, from the chains of illiteracy and poverty and from the machinations of the Order and the Company both. Through tireless efforts, we have built a prosperous and more of all free nation for all creatures.
|
| |
| ||
| ||
The Ministry Of Public Security
The Revolution is not finished yet, and as we work to spread it, there are countless dangers lurking in the shadows as reactionaries and revisionists seek to undermine us. We shall remain vigilant and we shall deal with whatever tricks our enemies try in similar fashion.

Eliminate Bourgeois Nationalism
The Free Towns of Gryphus is an artificial construct by capitalism that the elites tried to pretend was a nation worthy of loyalty and honor etc. Truly, this example better than anything shows the inherent absurdity of nationalism. It is time to get rid of this nonsense once and for all.
