Hippogrif national focus tree. Clicking on the branches leads to the appropriate section.

Placating The Isolationist Branch

is the main political branch for Hippogriffia where the decision is made to remain either closed or open up the country. Depending on the choice made the player can continue to either the non-aligned path or the communist path, if they manage to get enough support. The harmonic path is taken in case the support for Aris First isn't enough or the player can choose between harmonic and communist, as long as there is enough communist support, if they took path to open up the country.
