Appease The Rabble
The people are uppity, and a palpable tension hangs in the air. That isn't to say that their qualms are unjustified, as much of the current situation is the result of incompetent leadership. Nevertheless, if we do not assuage them soon, CAMO may be able to regain its waning momentum.
|
For the past century, Warzena has been plagued by ineffective leadership and unstable governments, resulting in general stagnation and unrest. Many activists began to clamour for change, but their calls fell on deaf ears, and they were ultimately repressed. This soon culminated in the formation of the Coalition of Anti-Monarchy Organizations (CAMO), an underground resistance movement that seeks to overthrow the monarchy and completely reshape Warzena. The fallout of the Storm King's invasion has served to further stir up the already volatile political climate, as discontent with the ruling system has grown to levels heretofore unheard of and more people are becoming disillusioned with the current state of affairs, swelling CAMO's ranks, and bolstering the organization's support network.

Emergency Measures
Although we have managed to prevent the country from collapsing outright, the situation is still tenuous at best, and without further measures, may spiral completely out of our control. Even if they are temporary, these policies will ensure that the country can keep its bearings until a more permanent solution is implemented.
|
| |
| ||
...And All Around Us
All across the country, there is a vast network of those opposed to the monarchy, consisting of a myriad of different people, coming from different walks of life. They blend in with the crowds, and are nearly undetectable. But, they are not invincible. If the main agents of dissidence can be tracked down and neutralized, then the beast they built will surely follow.
|
| |
| ||
| ||
Radical Guerrillas
We have armed some of the more radical elements within the nation in the hopes that they can slow down the enemy with guerrilla tactics. Let's just hope that they don't end up taking all the credit for themselves.
| ||
Devastated Economy
When Warzena broke free of Quaggatai rule, it found itself in a precarious position. The ancient trade route from Maregypt, that had once passed through Warzena to reach the great cities of Zonicia, had been rendered obsolete by the invention of new ships that could travel vast distances by sea. This left Warzena stripped of its economic lifeblood, and the economy soon began to falter. The construction of the Second Temple in the 850s pushed the already unsteady economy to its limits, kickstarting 150 years of economic downturn and stagnation. The situation continued to worsen as succeeding rulers were unable to handle the issue, further exacerbated by the loss of Tobuck in 956. Although the start of the 11th century seemed to promise a reversal of the kingdom's fortunes, the Storm King's invasion shattered those hopes, and has left the economy in complete freefall. The new king is nearly at his wit's end and underground resistance has grown to monumental levels, as people from across Warzena seek some sort of solution.

Never Again
When the Storm King attacked, we were caught completely unawares. But we have learned from the past and have vowed that no conqueror shall trample over our freedom. Never another Storm King, never again!

Analyzing the Situation
Warzena has spent too much of her history isolating herself from the world, which has not always worked out in our favor. This time, Warzena must go out into the world and gauge her surroundings, so that she may assert her position in the neverending drama of international relations.

The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Traitors And Lunatics
There is no doubt that the greatest threat Warzena currently faces is the one posed by the brooding denizens of Chiropterra. Launching raids into our frontier since time immemorial, they have since grown bolder and more frenzied, yet simultaneously even more secretive. We must prepare to defend our nation in case the bats decide to do something beyond a simple raid.

Reach Out To The Zarantians
Warzena's current standing with Zarantia can be described as tenuous at best, as the Warzenans and Imazeebs have butted heads several times during the past century. However, the existential threat posed by Chiropterra has deemed it necessary to cast aside our old animosities in favor of cooperation, so that both nations can be free.

The following will bypass the focus:
|
| |
Zumidian Contacts
As fellow Zonicians, Warzena has always had amiable relations with the Zumidians to the north. Now, united against a common enemy, our ties have grown even closer. Using our connections, we should be able to secure the help of several Zumidian groups in order to supplement our armed forces.
|
| |
Our Friends To The North
Even if we do not have a long history of cooperation, Hippogriffia has nevertheless become one of Warzena's principal allies, thanks in no small part to the aid offered following the Storm King's defeat. It would be wise to maintain these newly forged bonds, as they may prove useful sooner rather than later.
|
| |
Refit Our Defenses
Prior Warzenan kings had built several rudimentary defensive structures across the country, but they have since fallen into disarray, and the few that are still functional would be woefully incapable of impeding an enemy advance. It is crucial that we upgrade our old defenses, so that they can face the fury of modern warfare.
|
||
Fortify The Menuch
The Menuch, lifeblood of Warzena, is one of the nation's most strategically vital resources. If it were to fall under enemy control, the nation would be left extremely vulnerable. Bolstering its defenses is therefore critical in our efforts to prepare the nation for the eventuality of war.
|
| |
Deepen Our Bonds
With the situation having stabilized and the country returned to relative peace, it is an opportune moment to expand our relationship with the hippogriffs beyond that of simple philanthropy. Closer diplomatic ties would mean expanded access to advanced Hippogriffian technology and military tactics. However, we must be careful, lest Aris lose interest once it feels that its business here is done.
|
| |
Joint Training Exercises
The Hippogriffian armed forces, although not the most elite fighting force in the world, are still leagues beyond anything Warzena's military can offer. A series of joint military exercises will prove invaluable towards improving the capability of our armed forces while also providing the hippogriffs an opportunity to keep their own military sharp.

The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Propose An Alliance
As the situation grows ever drearier in North Zebrica, it has become obvious that simple friendly relations will not be enough to protect Warzena from the threats looming on its frontier. A formalized military alliance will be crucial for Warzena's survival in the tumultuous years to come.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Roads From The Sea
Along with much of its consumer goods, Warzena imports nearly a quarter of its military equipment from Hippogriffia. Ensuring the safe transport of these goods is of the utmost importance. Fortunately, we can accommodate for any disruptions by refitting our ports to integrate them with the existing Seaquestrian logistic infrastructure network and expanding the capacity of our coastal railroads.
|
||
The Spoils Of War
The defeat of Chiropterra and her allies, although cause for much celebration, has also opened several questions, namely concerning the occupied territories. We should move to resolve these as quickly as possible, so that any new tensions don't have time to grow and rear their ugly heads.

Hippogriffian Aid
After the Storm King was defeated, Warzena was left in a dire situation, with an economy in tatters, and its capital sacked and destroyed. The hippogriffs, who had occupied Zumidia, offered to help the struggling nation. The king accepted their proposition, and for the past two years, Warzena has received advice and material aid from Hippogriffia. Although this has prevented the nation from completely collapsing, the situation still remains tenuous at best, not to mention those who are displeased with the presence of the hippogriffs and the nation's dependence on them.

The Modern Rifle
Infantry are the backbone of any military, and the rifle is the main tool of infantry. Our muskets and breech-loaders simply will not cut it in modern warfare. Thankfully, our procurement officers have found gunsmiths capable of producing reliable bolt-action rifles. We should offer them contracts.

The following will bypass the focus:
|

Prepare Evacuation
It's becoming apparent that this war may not be won conventionally, but that doesn't mean we'll stop fighting, we've come too far to let ourselves be conquered. We must prepare the government for evacuation. We'll continue the war from abroad if we must, by Zal and Zanit, we shall never stop fighting.
|
| |
| ||
Exiled Soldiers
Every day, more and more of our valiant soldiers are escaping the occupation to join the government in exile. Their hearts yearn for their homeland and burn with desire for vengeance. We must organise these fellows into our new military, so they can take back what's rightfully theirs.
|
| |
International Volunteers
Our plight is making headlines all around the world, an ancient kingdom about to be extinguished is agitating enough to sell papers. Letters have been arriving in droves from foreigners who wish to join our struggle. We should establish and promote international brigades before something else takes over the news cycle.
|
||
| ||
The Warzenan Military
Thanks in large part to our isolationist past, our military has not seen much improvement since the days of the Quaggatai. As a result, it lags woefully behind the forces of our neighbors. If we are to have a fighting chance in the upcoming struggle, we must invest in our military before it is too late.
|
||
The Backbone of the Army
The army, the largest component of the military and the primary defender of the nation, is currently hindered by a crippling crutch. The majority of the weapons our troops have access to are outdated and barely functioning, at best. Arms are the foundation on which a good army is built, and ours must be up to par if we want our army to have any semblance of efficacy.
|
| |
| ||
Modernize Destroyers
For much of our modern history, destroyers have composed the bulk of the Warzenan Navy's tonnage. Even today, they form the majority of our fleet. Unfortunately, we have not been able to devote enough resources to keep them up to snuff, leaving our fleet burdened by obsolete ships. This must be addressed as soon as possible if we wish to continue fielding an effective navy.
|
| |
Undersea Blockade
As technology advances and naval warfare evolves, it has become more apparent than ever that submarines are a crucial lynchpin of modern marine combat. Able to strike at enemy convoys and vessels from out of sight, investing into a submarine flotilla is crucial for guaranteeing our future success at sea.
|
| |
Increase Naval Output
Although we have managed to improve the quality of our navy in recent years, those efforts will all be in vain if we have no means of actually building new models and retrofitting obsolete ones. As such, it is prudent that we expand our naval production via the construction of new dockyards.
|
| |
Mine Warfare
The harsh truth is that our navy stands no chance in conventional open combat. In order to make up for this, we should invest into more furtive methods of securing victory. If we can improve our mines and minelaying technologies, it could be possible to tear through our enemies' fleets without losing a single sailor.
|
| |
New Artillery Types
Artillery has advanced much since the days of simple gunpowder cannons. Unfortunately, our military seems to have slept on this development, and our forces are now desperately lacking in firepower. In order to rectify this, we will invest into the development of more advanced and varied artillery technology.
|
| |
Naval Bombers
With our limited resources, and even more limited fuel reserves, it is clear that we cannot win in conventional naval warfare. However, we may able to give ourselves an edge by utilizing the air. We shall design aircraft capable of operating over water and dealing hefty damage to naval vessels in order to guarantee victory at sea.
|
||
Rapid Heavy Industry
Our current production rates are simply not sufficient enough to deal with the demands of a proper modern military. If we want any chance of fielding an effective fighting force, this must be corrected, and quickly. Our best shot at achieving this is to swiftly construct new industrial developments that will augment our military production.
|
| |
| ||
Motorizing Logistics
Logistics are crucial for guaranteeing the success of our army, and we can never allow them to fall behind. Thus, we must ensure the steady and rapid flow of supplies to the front by employing trucks in supply convoys, as their speed will prove very useful in the rapid delivery of vital supplies.
|
| |
Testing Tactical Bombers
While our air force is capable of fighting on the front itself, it does not currently possess the means to operate behind enemy lines. If we can field a force capable of damaging enemy infrastructure and manufacturing, we can increase the chances of victory back on the front.
|
| |

|
||
| ||
Dowse for Crystals
In recent years, more and more applications for magical crystals have been discovered. In particular, scientists have found many potential uses for crystals in military context, which has greatly steeped our interest. We shall initiate a search for crystals within the country to see if we can procure a domestic supply.
|
||
Doctrinal Advancements
Equipment and ponypower are only half the equation for a successful military. To field a truly effective fighting force, one must combine quality equipment and well trained troops with ideal doctrine, without which the former are completely useless. As such, we must pursue the development of solid military doctrines so that our forces will fight at their best.
|
| |
Develop True Bombers
While we have worked to keep our fighter models up to date, the same can not be said for our bombers, which, in their current state, could be considered experimental, at best. If we want to wield an effective bomber force, we must invest in developing proper bomber models for our air force.
|
||
The First Battleships
With the revitalization of our military, many have begun to wonder if it is time to develop our navy into a true high seas fleet by building a flotilla of capital ships. Although they were seen as impractical and expensive for the longest time, perhaps it is time for us to finally join the other great naval powers of the world with our own battleships.
|
| |
Atomic Aims
As more and more research has been done on crystals, combined with new discoveries in physics, many have begun to theorize of the possibility of a great crystal-nuclear weapon. One capable of tearing atoms apart to unleash unimaginable energy. Such a weapon would be immensely devastating, and it is imperative that we get our hooves on it before one of our neighbors does.
