|---|---|---|
Rally the Anti-Fascists
Beakolini's march is the final insult to the freedom of the Wingbardian griffons. We have one final chance to stop fascist authoritarianism from taking over our country and to break the fasces before it strikes us all down. Now is the darkest hour, when we must lay down the hammer and take up the rifle to protect our country and our ideals from Beakolini's fascist hordes!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Arm the Red Guard
'Comrade, forget about the politicians, there is no time. The Red Guard is an organisation of tough griffons who fought the blackwing claw to claw in many street brawls. We must call them together once more and raid guns from the Karthin armoury. They are determined to teach the fascists a lesson of lead and you shouldn't turn down their help now.'
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Evacuate the Chamber of Deputies
'Blackwing vanguards are patrolling the streets close to parliament with most of the liberal politicians still inside with their staff. I'm begging you, you must save our elected representatives from these thugs. Yes, they can't fight, but their support will be crucial in the upcoming conflict. In the name of democracy, please launch a rescue operation now!'
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Mobilise the Trade Unions
'Do not be fooled when Beakolini says he speaks for the working griffon, the unions are with you until the end. You must give the order for a general strike now, comrade, before the chaos is complete on the streets. That way we will be able to secure crucial factories and machinery for the war effort. The worker will win the war against fascism, comrade, put your faith in us!'
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Anti-Fascist Propaganda
'Beakolini has blamed the union, parliament, socialism, ponies and a thousand other things for the miserable state of our politics. In the name of freedom of speech, we have allowed his platform to poison the public's minds. No longer! We will tear down every fascist poster, silence every speaker and rally the worker to the red flag! If you but give us the order...'
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Reach out to Stalliongrad
'Friends, I have some contacts across the ocean in Stalliongrad, the pony workers' republic. The marksists there are well armed and with luck, their support could reach us in time. Please give me the order, and I will make arrangements with their government. No griffon wants to rely on foreign support, but the reactionaries leave us little choice.'
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Push the Liberals out of Power
'We are victorious, comrades. The fascists have thrown themselves at us and they have died a coward's death. The battle has proven once and for all that the harmonist liberals wavered even when all their ideals were put to the test. The griffons of Wingbardy have seen us lead the fight and they want our leadership and no more indecisiveness. Long live the Revolution!'
|
|
|
Reach Out to Liberal Generals
'The military is not completely beyond saving, it still can be our ally. I implore you, let me speak to some of generals, there are those who are not warmongering imperialists. If we show them our intentions are pure and we only act in the name of liberty and democracy, we will be able to sway them to our side. Fervour alone won't win us this war, we need military leadership.'
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Sway the Carabinieri
'Look, we do not deny the carabinieri have been heavy clawed towards the red guard and other socialist gatherings before, but most of them hate the blackwing rabble even more. As long as they know we will not let the country descend into anarchy, the police will join forces with us. Do we not require every griffon who can shoot a rifle?'
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Promise Labour Reforms
'Past governments have not been able to get us out of the economic slump, that much is true. But the conservatives were the ones stopping reforms to the labour market to ensure you would all earn a living wage, and now they'd rather throw in their lot with Beakolini than pay you what you are due! Sweep them aside in the upcoming battle, and a new democratic government will deliver for every griffon in Wingbardy!'
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Transitional Government
'The civil war is over and democracy has triumphed! The griffons of Wingbardy have saved the country from a dark path at the final moment and now the flag of the Republic flies proudly over the Chamber of Deputies! The National Transitional Government will ensure the future of Wingbardy gets decided by every griffon, by means of a truly democratic election. Long live the Republic!'
|
|
|
Victory for the Unitary Socialists
The Socialist Party split due to disagreements about the bourgeois democracy of the country. The Partito Socialista Unitario argues to preserve the current democratic system and use it as a foundation to work towards socialism. This moderate democratic take on socialism has prevailed in the election with many unitary candidates taking seats from more hard-core socialists and from liberals.
|
|
|
Take over the Socialist Party
The election has massively increased the position of Giacomo Gatteotti, leader of the unitary wing of the socialist party. He has enough support from the party to call for a congress and become the leader of the Partito Socialista, side-lining the more radical socialists and clearing the way for a stable left-wing government.
|
|
|
Victory for the Republicans
The Republican Party of Wingbardy was a small party before the civil war, as many liberal voters saw the republic as a pipedream with a popular King and a conservative country. However, their fervent support for the liberal side in the civil war has proven the doubters wrong and earned the party its first election victory!
|
|
|
The Communist Vanguard
The Partito Communista Wingbardo was only a small party appealing to die-hard communists, mostly in the port city of Wrobert, but the revolutionary fight against fascism has propelled the fringe party into the limelight. With the most zealous revolutionaries on their side, the PCW can seize power amidst the confusion the war left.
|
|
|
Purge the Enemies of the Revolution
Now is the time to solidify the hold of communism over Wingbardy. The PCW is still outnumbered by conservative remnants, liberals and so-called 'moderate' socialists. If we cut off the heads of these snakes, their misled proletarian followers will flock to our party for leadership! Such bold action is sure to ruffle some feathers, however.
|
|
|
Establish the Griffons' Commissariat
To protect the revolution from internal enemies, we need to guard her vigilantly. Wingbardy will found the Commissariato del popolo per gli affari interni, the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs, whose comrades will nib fascism and revisionism in the bud. We have won the war on the battlefield, but now we need to win the invisible war!
|
|
 CPAI
The Commissariato del popolo per gli affari interni will protect Wingbardy from counterrevolutionaries and dissidents.
|
The New Communist Griffon
'A griffon will make it their purpose to master their own feelings, to raise their instincts to the heights of consciousness, to make them transparent, to extend the wires of their will into hidden recesses, and thereby to raise themselves to a new plane, to create a higher social biologic type, or, if you please, a new griffon.' -Giuliano Gimperi, in 'Our Social Future' |
|
 New Communist Griffon
|
The Children of the Revolution
'Who needs a '1'? The voice of a '1' is thinner than a squeak. Who will hear it? Only your parents! A '1' is nonsense. A '1' is zero.' -Antonino Proletarino, 'Address to the Children' |
|
New Communist Griffon
|
Make Use of the Prisoners
During and after the war, we have captured many fascists and other threats to the revolution, but ironically they sit still in their prisons while the righteous worker toils away to build a prosperous future. There is no place for irony in the workers' utopia.
|
|
|
The Dictatorship of the Proletariat
They say that Karthin wasn't built in a day, but they also expect us to achieve communism in a year. If we don't want to disappoint the workers who put us into power, we need to get to work and not let the revolution get bogged down in meaningless terms such as 'parliament' and 'due process'.
|
|
Dictatorship of the Proletariate
|
Seize the Means of Production
There seems to have been a silver lining to the bloody civil war after all. Most of the capitalists have fled the country, the foolish bourgeoisie rats not even having the honour to stay on their sinking ship! Their assets now lay unclaimed, ripe for the taking by the workers who operated them in the first place. It is time to put these factories to use towards a more noble goal.
|
|
|
The First Five Year Plan
Now that our state is secured, it is time to look to the economic malaise that still plagues the country. Successive failures from the capitalist government have shown that the wellbeing of the worker is too important to be left up to the 'free' market. Only a well-laid plan supported by the full might of the state and her griffons will bring Wingbardy out of the crisis!

|
Land Collectivisation
The ownership of huge tracts of land is a feudal and thus backwards institution. Collective farms are more efficient and equalise the farmers, who no longer have to compete in an endless pursuit of profit. An added advantage of land collectivisation is that many huge estates used by the elite will be vacated, allowing space for new developments and the mining of unexploited ore deposits.
|
|
|
Total Control from Karthin
The PCW guides and loves the workers of Wingbardy. She protects them until a classless fair society is reached. To achieve that goal in a world riddled with capitalism and feudalism, total control over economic and political resources is needed. The party needs to be central in political and economic life, simply overpowering all other organisations and commanding the direction of society.
|
|
|
Restoring Normalcy
The last of the major blackwing holdouts have fallen, the economy is almost fully nationalized, and the PSW membership has either gotten onboard or has been expelled from the Communist Party. Many now clamour for Antonino to restore some kind of normalcy and allow the party to assume its proper role as the vanguard of the revolution. But exactly what kind of "normalcy" should Antonino restore?
|
|
|
Establish the Red Army
It is time to reorganise the disparate militias and old army units into a fighting force worthy of the revolution. Naturally, we will call it the Esercito Rosso, the Red Army, after the colour which symbolises our struggle. The working class, comrades, is on the attack. Grasp the rifle and fix the bayonet, free labour is our ideal and communism is our program, for now and forever!.
|
|
Esercito Rosso
|
International Communism
Communism is essentially incompatible with the nation state. Artificial borders created by feudal warlords and bourgeois war profiteers artificially divide those who have a common class interest! May we one day chant: No more enemies, and no more borders! All the borders, will be red banners! |
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Communism in One Country
The Wingbardian worker fought for their own liberation! The griffons of this country want to help their siblings and perhaps their cousins, but we should not be expected to assimilate with total strangers. Each group of creatures has its own path towards a classless society, and that must be respected.
|
|
|
Spread the Revolution
We must ally ourselves with fellow communist parties in our neighbouring nations to help them spread the revolution. By providing support in any way we can, we will ensure that the revolution will be launched by the people.
|
|
|
Challenge Stalliongrad's Lead
We owe much to Marks and the revolt in Stalliongrad. Acknowledging our debt to those who have gone before us does not mean we need to deny reality to satisfy our feelings of nostalgia. Wingbardy is better suited to be the home of the international workers' movement, situated between the three continents, with a more secure position and international recognition as a state.
|
|
 New Home of Communism
|
Liberate the Pact
We cannot allow the common griffons in our sister nations to suffer a moment longer. We must utilise the Red Army to strike at the bourgeoisie and bring their workers under our wings.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
End Pony Tyranny over Griffons
Comrades, right on our borders a tragedy unfolds every dawn. Every dawn, griffon workers wake up under the tyranny of a pony elite. While we of course respect the ponies their right to their ancestral homelands in Equus and even in Eastern Griffonia, this is simply too much. Wingbardy must liberate the griffons of New Mareland.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Liberate Falcor
Decades ago, the warlords and the war profiteers stirred up a war between Wingbardy and Falcor, which led to a tragic loss of life and much misery. The new Wingbardy no longer resents Falcorian worker for the crimes of their overlords and simply seeks to liberate them from this oppression. The oppressor surely will run before us instead of sending more of his chained workers to fight and die a needless death.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Spread the Revolution East
Sicameon is not an evil nation and has traditionally had a government form close to socialism. Nevertheless, the worker across the Arahno Range calls for justice as well, and Wingbardy must deliver it. Sicameon will join our Union and she will love our liberation!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Workers' Empire
There is no real difference between a 'Wingbardian' worker and the worker of any other griffon state. We are all united in our one effort to modernise our cities and communities. We are the true Griffonian Empire: the Workers' Empire.
|
|
|
Liberate the Minotaurs
Asterion has long oppressed the labourers within its borders. We cannot stand idly any longer, and we shall install the rightful government, one way or another!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Free the Aquileian Workers
The Aquileian proletariat is being stifled by their government, and thus not allowed to flourish as it has in Wingbardy. There can be no negotiation with the Aquileian state; the only way to achieve the liberation of the Aquileian is by force of arms.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Strike at the Empire
The Empire is the source of all misery for all griffons. We must finally cut off the head of the beast and sever its corrupting limbs, so that all griffons may be liberated.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Open the Universities
Economics, sociology, history and philosophy, pseudosciences in capitalist education. We shall do away with the economic logic of profit maximalisation, the sociology of class collaboration, great-griffon history and the philosophy of greed. They shall be replaced by the labour theory of value, class consciousness, material historiography and the philosophy of equality.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 Education Reform
|
Encourage Equal Education
Socialists cannot be blinded by their own optimism. The history of capitalism still scars our society and nowhere is this more evident than in access to education. Rich parents afford help to their kids so that they can reach the best institutions and poorer kids are left behind. We must attempt to salvage this situation and give every griffon the education they deserve.
|
|
 Equal Opportunity Education
|
The New Economic Reality
The world has been reshaped before our very eyes, not by the Gods and not by Kings either. But by the claws of untold workers with a dream. A dream of an economy which is stable. A dream to never again stand in line for food while the rich feast in their mansions. A world where every worker knows they are being looked after and are working for the common good. A dream no longer, but the new reality.

The Socialist Party
The Partito Socialista Wingbardo has been one of the largest parties in Wingbardy for years now, but has been kept away from power by numerous desperate alliances of liberals and conservatives. Now it is time for the PSW to take responsibility and lead Wingbardy into a bright socialist future as the leading party of the Workers' Republic!
|
|
|
Reconcile with the Reformers
The unitary wing of the socialist party has been getting anxious ever since the blackwings marched on Karthin. The democratically minded socialists have reluctantly followed the revolution, realising socialism was preferable over fascism even if established by force of arms. The party must stay together to stave up competition from liberals and communists, even if it means compromising with the reformists.
|
|
|
Break up Big Business
There are more important things to do than completely expropriating every capitalist. For now, a less disruptive solution is to break the might of the bourgeoisie by breaking up the biggest conglomerates and holdings in Wingbardy and taking over foreign assets. This should still free up a lot of industry for use by the state.
|
|
|
Encourage the Unions
The trade unions and the capitalists have been struggling over control of the workplace for a long time and it is time to finally settle that battle in favour of the workers. With our encouragement unions will be allowed to run workplaces themselves and control the economy. Finally, the labourers themselves will organise their workplaces, instead of managers who don't even know how to wield a hammer.
|
|
 Unionised Economy
|
Nationalise Key Infrastructure
Although most of the road and rail networks, along with the power plants are in state claws, the patchwork of private suppliers creates unacceptable holes in the network. We cannot allow critical infrastructure to remain in private claws any longer, especially in such a dangerous time. We will draft a law to nationalise the key players.
|
|
|
National Health Bureau
For decades, the socialist parties of Wingbardy have called for a free, open and unified medical service for all Wingbardians. Now that the revolution has been won, we can make good on these promises by founding the National Health Bureau to oversee the well-being of all citizens.
|
|
 National Health Bureau
|
Expand Smallholder Subsidies
To create a more equal use of our agricultural lands, the power of smallholder farms must be increased in comparison to the larger estates. With expanded subsidies for these small farmers, we will strengthen rural communities and make our food supply more stable.

Legacy of the Carbonari
The Carbonari was a secret society that spread and grew throughout south-west Griffonia over 100 years ago. In 934 ALB the Carbonari and prominent liberals forced King Garibald Talonuel II to adopt a constitution and brought democracy to Wingbardy. While the society has all but vanished we can learn from their tactics to spread liberty.

Restore the Redwings
The Redwings where founded by Garibaldi Giuseppe as an international force of Wingbardian volunteers with the goal of spreading liberty and democracy around the world. They are most famous for the role they played in the Republican Revolution in 978, but the force was all but destroyed during the Republican Long March. Now that the Republican Dream has come to Wingbardy we should follow their example.

They are most famous for the role they played in the Republican Revolution in 978, however the force was all but destroyed during the Republican Long March. Now under the eye of Redwing veterans we honour their cause and seek to spread freedom wherever it need be.
|
Reinstate the Pretori
The rule of law requires that criminals cannot go unpunished. The new republic cannot allow a parallel authority to exist, but previous attempts of law enforcement to crack down on the mafia have always floundered. To represent the renewal of our fight against crime and our dedication to the high ideals of the Karthinian Republic, the ancient office of the Pretori shall be restored.
|
|
|
Reform the Justice System
The Republic must seize the opportunity, while the momentum is present, to reform the justice system. The backlog and stalling of judicial procedures, the lack of impartial judges and police officers and arcane legal texts must all be dealt with. The law must protect what is good and not allow refuge for what is bad. With this reform, perhaps, we can deal a permanent blow to organised crime in this country.
|
|
 Judiciary Reforms
|
Draw up the New Constitution
"Conscious of their responsibility towards each other, inspired by the endeavours for justice and liberty in our past and by others everywhere, the griffons of this land, in the exercise of their sovereign power, have adopted this constitution. We proclaim that this nation shall be a Republic now and forevermore. We reject the tyranny of Kings." -Preamble to the Constitution of the Republic |

Knights of the Old Republic
The Golden Age of the Karthinian Republic was a time full of great statesgriffons, philosophers, artists and military leaders. The ones who have persisted the most in the popular imagination, however, were the Knights of the Old Republic, the Celeres. With the 1700 year old memory of the golden age awakening once more, many griffons seek to emulate the ancient heroes. And the Republic will need many heroes.
|
|
 Knights of the Old Republic
|
Rise of the Republic
We have beaten crime, restored the rule of law and brought security to the young Republic. To finish our rise and break with the old kingdom, we will restore the old Karthinian Senate in the stead of the disgraced house of deputies. And after we tidied the house, perhaps we will take a look around the neighbourhood.

Declare Martial Law
Prime Minister Ventriglio will petition King Talonuel III to declare martial law to stop the March on Karthin by Beakolini's fascist Blackwings. The military should make short work of the paramilitary rabble, but escalating the violence will make the political situation more precarious. This declaration must be followed up with decisive political action to save the country.
|
|
 Martial Law
|
The Wisdom of Politicians
Even if the government and the recent coalition has once again failed in times of crisis, we must not lose faith in our democracy. For the future of Wingbardy we must convince the Partito Popolare Wingbardo, now the most popular centrist party to rally together, and find a new coalition to finally bring an end to this deadlock.
|
|
The Rallying Centre
|
Hunt Blackwing Commanders
Despite the ease of the military in defeating the Blackwings and their plans of a march on Karthin, many of their leaders still remain in hiding, continuing to plot against our government. We must crackdown and find these remnants to ensure that they will never pose a threat to our nation again.
|
|
|
The Equestrian Connection
Without the consultation of King or Parliament, Deputy De Gaspwingi has sent out an invitation to the land of Equestria, inviting a griffon friend of the Princess of Friendship to Wingbardy. Since this was a letter sent from a Deputy to a foreign leader, it should have been authorized. After a private meeting De Gaspwingi has apologized for the incident, and we can only hope this doesn't cause any issues.
|
|
|
One More Try...
It is time to try this one more time. With fresh elections, it is already certain that the PPW will be able to sweep the polls and take both a majority in parliament and the position of Prime Minister. However, they will also most likely not have enough seats to push proposals on their own, and who they will create a coalition with is yet to be decided...
|
|
|
Alliance of the Centre
A Priest of Boreas, Luigi Guturzo holds the support of many conservative and religious voters, while still maintaining a party filled with liberal politicians. Being a true Prime Minister of the center, he plans to create a coalition of both left and right parties to reach out to all parts of the political moderates.
|
|
|
|
Denounce the Archons
With the death of Grover V, the Archon of Boreas Eros VII has taken charge as the regent of the Empire. While the rise of a fellow religious leader would normally be cause for celebration, the Archon has made it abundantly clear that the full restoration of the Empire is his only goal, which includes the destruction of Wingbardy as a nation. We must not stand for this, and denounce him to take charge of our own destinies!
|
|
 Independent Tritheism
|
Support the Archons
As a priest, Guturzo knows the importance of the Archons in any griffon's life. That is why, with the approval of the Wingbardian government, he has reached out to the Archons to hopefully court their support for Wingbardy and its independence. Their blessing would be a benefit not only spiritually but also politically, as their word carries great weight especially in the Imperial heartlands.

Prepare our Defences
Though we will strive for peace, it is important that we also remain prepared in the event that conflict finds its way to us. Our military officials have proposed that we dedicate some time to train our blue-collar workers on more efficient methods of building fortifications.
|
|
Defence of the Kingdom
|
Encourage Religious Schooling
Despite the severe situation in the Griffonian Empire, one thing that they have done right is having a heavy religious presence in the day-to-day lives of their citizens. We will adopt a similar program where our young chicks are taught the importance of the Gods.
|
|
 Tritheist Education
|
|
Train the Youth
It is often said that the best soldier is one that believes in what they are fighting for. We can apply this to the recent implementation of religious teachings in our schools. Our next generation of soldiers will be numerous, devout, and eager to fight for our freedom.
|
|
Tritheist Education
|
Deregulate Industry
Throughout Wingbardy's existence, bureaucratic intervention has always hindered the ability for our manufacturers to produce goods at an optimal rate. Luigi Guturzo has proposed a plan to cut the needless red tape so that our factories and shipyards can meet the needs of a modern country.
|
|
 Deregulated Industry
|
Tritheist Democracy
Religion and democracy are not naturally opposed. Quite the contrary, as politicians too must believe in a cause greater than themselves if they wish to accomplish anything truly great in a country. By tying these two together, we can strength both institutions, and Wingbardy as a whole.

|
Tritheist Democracy
|
Give Way to the Left PPW
Following an internal debate between PPW members, Luigi Guturzo has decided to step down as party leader and allow his right-claw griffon, Giovanni de Gaspwingi to lead in his stead. A much more liberal-minded figure and proponent of Equestrian ideas in Wingbardy, it seems the PPW is now on track for a much more left-leaning coalition than first imagined.
|
|
|
Look to Equestria
In light of the recent conflicts within our government combined with the enlightening conversation he had with the young Equestrian griff, Gallus, Giovanni has opted to implement additional trade agreements with Equestria and her colony.

|
|
Friendship Schools
The history of ponies is filled with conflicts being settled peacefully, but the same cannot be said for the history of griffons. We will open new schools modeled after an Equestrian education so we can teach our young griffons that by working together, they can accomplish much more than they could otherwise achieve with traditional griffon methods.
|
|
Friendship Schools
|
Keep our Friends Close
With conflict intensifying abroad, Wingbardy cannot stand alone against our eventual foes. As such, we must reinforce our current alliance to ensure that we're not left alone. Even Falcor, our old enemy, may prove to be a useful ally.
|
|
 Harmonist Influence
Harmonist pressure has made harmonic ideas very popular, and the country is susceptible to align with other Harmonists.

Harmony with Griffon Characteristics
We have striven to liken ourselves to the Equestrians, but there are hard, biological limits that makes our two species fundamentally different. There is a Griffonian spirit that cannot be suppressed and, as such, our version of Harmony must be adapted to it.

|
Develop the South
The nations of Southern Griffonia, those in the Karthinian Pact have been our allies for a long time now. However, with their underdeveloped nations and economies they can barely defend themselves should a major power attack. We must remedy this immediately, starting with a major investment into their industrial sectors.
|
|
|
Invest in Talouse
Our friends in Talouse require a jumpstart for their economy so that they can put to use their factories to good use. Some investments in their industries will go a long way in improving their manufacturing capacity and improving Wingbardy's relations with Talouse.

Embrace the Pony Way
We have adopted so much from Equestria, why shouldn't we fully embrace their ways? Let the traditionalists and conservatives scoff at the idea - we know that ours is the only way to achieve true peace.
|
|
Wingbardy has never seen such an era of love and harmony before. Even in our darkest hour, we shall shine brightly, showing the way for all others. For life, freedom and happiness, Wingbardy shall be an example for all.
|
Trans-Celestial Defence Treaty
Though friendship can solve most problems, we still need to be ready in the event we find ourselves in an armed conflict. Senior officials within our military have proposed that we coordinate a training program with Equestria's forces so that we may all improve our combat readiness.
|
|
|
Equestrian-Wingbardian Science Exchange
The success of our schools has proven to the naysayers that not only is the Equestrian model of education effective, it is also superior to ours in most ways. But we could go even further. To advance our flourishing science program, we will offer an exchange program with Equestria in the hopes that our future generations will also become the most intelligent.
|
|
|
In Defence Of Harmony
There are those who are opposed to the ideals of harmony, brutish tyrants who wish to erase Equestria or Wingbardy from the map. They will learn to respect the power of friendship, as we shall aid one another as much as we can, despite the Celestial Sea separating us.
|
|
|
Electoral Reform
For too long the instability of our government has hindered any significant change, but no longer. Giovanni has worked beak and talon to propose a set of reformations aimed to solidify a functional democratic system, and all that's left is to implement it.
|
|
Stable Democracy
|
Vote for a Republic
The day of reckoning has come, for Wingbardy's legacy as a Kingdom is nearly over. Though Gumberto II has vehemently opposed us up to this point, he must accept that it is time for him and his family's dynasty to come to a political end. All that's left is to hold the vote, and most would agree that the outcome is already certain.

There has long been a schism between the state government of Wingbardy and local city governments. This is something that we must remedy, and the first step to that is to grant more control to the more rural regions over their respective lands.

Give Land to the Peasants
Already the new powers we have granted to the local governments have proven to be effective, so we must move onto the next phase of our plan: To take the massive chunks of land owned by greedy landlords and give them back to those that have nothing.

Cut Economic Red Tape
The political deadlock of the last years has caused much legislation to get lost or worse, amended into a tangled mess. With the deadlock resolved, we can start tidying up legislation so that replacing a window pane does not require consultation of a lawyer. All sectors except legal firms are expected to benefit.

Protections for the Poor
Even if we get the economy out of the gutter, it is not guaranteed that we will avoid a future crash. Proper social protections must be brought into place now that the economy is improving, to protect the poor if our economy ever experiences a downturn.

Boost Funding for Schools
The state of schools, especially in rural areas, is abysmal. Pupils sit in class with their winter coats on, since most classrooms lack heating. Even though teachers work overtime and sometimes pay lunch for the poor students out of their own pocket, they cannot make up the difference with goodwill alone. We must ensure every child has at least a decent education.

Fund Infrastructure
The state of the road and rail networks is regrettable. In the short term, delaying infrastructure maintenance was a good way to somewhat save the budget in the crisis years, but that delay has cost us now. We will have to connect rural areas to the network and replace asphalt, expand train stations and a thousand other small infrastructure improvements.

Welfare and Prosperity
Economic thinkers have long said welfare and prosperity are opposing goals, putting the interests of companies against those of individuals. However, with a strong internal market, increasing the welfare of the citizen with good wages and good labour protections is a path to also increasing spending and so prosperity.

|
Economic Reform

Reconcile with the Capitalists
The threat of fascism is existential at the moment, and must remain our foremost priority. As it stands, some of our best engineers and scientists are stuck in the employ of the capitalists, who are still hiding abroad or in remote areas of the country. For the common good, the government must swallow her pride and invite these griffons back into important positions.

A Socialist Constitution
'Wingbardy is a democratic and social Republic founded on labour. Sovereignty belongs to the people and is exercised within the limits of the constitution.

The Republic expects that the fundamental duties of political, economic and social solidarity be fulfilled.' -Articles 1 and 2 of the Wingbardian Constitution |

Our New Place in the World icon
Our New Place in the World
Ever since the collapse of the Griffonian Empire, Wingbardy has been a stabilising factor in the South of Griffonia, mainly through the influence exerted by the Karthinian Pact. The old prime minister, although his pacifism was admirable, did not wish to use that influence for good. It is time to reconsider that policy and figure out Wingbardy's place in the world.

For the Revolution
Prywhen is a true socialist nation in the south and is an example of what griffons can do when they seize the means of production. We should seek an alliance with them to help secure the revolution in the south.

The Republican Cause
In 978 the griffons dared to dream and ever since then, that dream has not died yet. The cause of liberty has defenders yet on this continent! Let us align ourselves with our fellow republicans and help put an end to tyranny. We will not accept anything less than our dreams becoming a reality!

To secure the Republic and prevent further bloodshed, we must align with likeminded republican nations in the south. Asterion and Sicameon are the two most likely candidates for such an alliance of free republics. A southern alliance will surely give any would be tyrant pause before attacking!

End Fascism in the South
Beakolini may be gone, but his perfidious ideology and its offshoots and precursors still haunt the griffons of Southern Griffonia.

Restore Democracy to Aquileia
Democracy was the dream of the common Aquileians, however, their voices have been suppressed by their tyrannical king. We must intervene on their behalf to ensure the restoration of Liberté, égalité, and fraternité.
|
|
|
The Karthinian Restoration
It is time to drop all pretenses. We are the inheritors of our forebears. Once again the Republic has risen from the ashes to give the same answer to tyrants we always have. It is time to claim the mantle of the Karthinian Republic. To be a Karthinian citizen was once the highest honour of Griffonia. The Senate and the Griffons of Karthin intend to restore that honour.
|
|

|
The Karthinian Citizen Soldier
The liberty of the Old Republic was guaranteed by the citizen soldier. Because it was the free citizen who fights, their wars were wars of liberation. With the sword in the claw of the citizen, no tyrant could destroy the Republic. Our freedom was threatened because the citizen was no longer the soldier. Thus we must rekindle our martial tradition for the sake of our liberty!

The Royal Intervention
In light of the Chamber of Deputies' complete ineptitude at safeguarding the country against violent extremism and to restore the rule of law in Wingbardy, it has behooved King Garibald Talonuel to dismiss the current parliament until further notice and to assume in full the legislative and executive authority vested in his royal prerogative.
|
|
|
Create a Loyal Government
For quick and decisive action to take place, the wavering liberal government must be replaced by griffons the King can trust to carry out his orders. If he is to rule effectively, the King of Soldiers needs subordinates who follow his orders precisely and unquestionably.
|
|
|
Reach out to the Common Griffon
The citizens of Wingbardy are tired of the continuous political turmoil, but many of them are principally against the royal takeover. The King will need to sway supporters of liberal, fascist and socialist parties alike of his noble intentions or his government will collapse before it even gets started.
|
|
 Popular Support
|
Secure Army Loyalty
The Royal Military has long been the darling of the nation, especially after the arduous conflict with Falcor. Many officers are already loyal to their King, but the military contains fascist and communist supporters as well. The King will need to use his charms and his image as the Soldier King to the fullest effect if he wants to remind these soldiers of their duty to the nation.
|
|
|
Placate the Intellectuals
The universities and upper class salons have been a hotbed of pro-democracy protest ever since parliament has been dismissed. Young griffons riled up by extremist professors and socialist agitators. By promising investment and scientific and cultural programs, the government should be able to calm down all but the most idealistic intellectuals.
|
|
|
Viva il Re
The griffons of Wingbardy have rallied behind their King in this dark hour for the nation. By taking decisive action to secure the support of key actors, the Royal Council now has a tight grip on power. Let Wingbardy's rallying cry be now and forevermore: Viva il Re! |
|
|
Clamp Down on Political Extremism
The rotten and empty promises of communism and fascism have cast their bloody shadow over Wingbardy for too long. The government has tolerated these totalitarian philosophies for too long. Now that the King is firmly in control, it is time to take action against any organisation that propagates extremism.
|
| |
Absolute Rule
The democratic experiment in Wingbardy has failed, collapsing at the first sign of adversity. Only a noble royal power can safeguard the nation against foreign and domestic threats. The King will force through a change of the constitution which will enshrine his absolute power in matters of state permanently.
|
|
|
Appease the Moderates
1007 was an exceptional moment in Wingbardian history, and while royal intervention was necessary, that does not prove that liberal ideas are entirely without merit. To appease the democrats, we will reduce repression and promise to gradually reform back to a parliamentary system when the crisis has abated.

The Commoners' King
The King is loved by the people as the one figure who saved Wingbardy from civil war. Soldiers are said to tuck photos of the King into their uniforms, believing that carrying his likeness will grant them favour with Arcturius. It is time to capitalise on that popularity! Avanti Wingbardia! Avanti Talonuel! |

Invest in the Future
Children are the future of every society, and Wingbardy is no different. We need to recognise talent at a young age and nurture it into something great.

 Garibald Talonuel III
Born: 11th November 940, Karthin, Wingbardy. Biography: Known as the 'Soldier King' due to his leadership during the Falcor War, Garibald Talonuel di Almieri is well respected and beloved by the Wingbardian griffons. In 972 ALB his father, King Gumberto, was murdered in the Imperial Palace in Griffenheim while attending a party for the young Grover V. The newly crowned Garibald demanded justice but was given none. In protest he severed all ties with the Empire, declaring Wingbardy to be independent for the first time in over a century. The rest of the empire soon took Wingbardy's lead, quickly leading to the Empire's collapse. The first few years of independence was prosperous for Wingbardy, however a border dispute with Falcor in 985 lead to four long and bloody years of conflict that scarred Wingbardy to this day. During the war, King Garibald Talonuel III was known to often visit the frontline and had significant support among his troops. However, the years since the war have only seen Wingbardy's situation grown worse. Failed government after failed government, along with a crippled economy, has lead to many Wingbardians demanding that he step in and find a way to resolve their situation. With the rise of Fascism and Communism, it became clear that only he could decide Wingbardy's future. He sees his son, Gumberto, as a disappointment and secretly fears for the future of the monarchy unless his son can better himself. In the King's free time he is an avid stamp collector. His collection of postal stamps is the largest in the world. Portrait By: Sinister

Beakolini's paramilitary organisation has been key to his political ambitions, and their loyalty to him above all other things is too valuable for the Duce to let go of. By signing their special status into law, the Duce will have his loyal warriors at his beck and call, no matter what happens.

The Stalliongradians fought to be free of Equestrian rule, and they have experience in warfare against them, not the least in the use of the tank. While we would need to be subtle about it to not ruffle too many feathers, there is nothing saying we can't trade notes.

Beakolini's Education Reform
If Wingbardy is to prosper, she must ensure that her children are given a good education both physically and mentally. Raising the school-leaving age, introducing new textbooks, reinforcing the status of the teachers (as well as making sure they are loyal to the nation) and giving them plenty of physical exercise will all help to strengthen our children.
|
The following will bypass the focus:

Education Reform
|
Make the Trains Run on Time
A tardy train is annoying, but a dozen late trains per day is economically unsustainable. By adopting new regulations based on incentives and punishments, we can maximise our railroad efficiency. This is, of course, something that even the common griffon will appreciate.
|
|
The Trains Run on Time
Thanks to government intervention, the trains are finally running on time again.
|
Mass Public Works
Unemployment is a scourge not just economically, but morally as well. Conscripting every unemployed griff into a series of infrastructure projects will not only ensure they have a stable income, but also teach them skills useful for the upcoming struggles. It will also help recover our nation from the all-consuming economic crisis and make it strong once again.
|
|
 Mass Public Works
|
Fix the Resource Deficit
It is not that Wingbardy lacks resources, it is that too much of it is wasted, whether on frivolous civilian projects or on exports to unworthy foreigners. We need to excavate resources thought unreachable and produce products here that we used to import. Still, if we truly commit to it, autarky will be within our reach.
|
|
 Wingbardian Autarky
|
Productivism
Our industry must approach its existence much like our military, and view ceaseless self-improvement as its overarching goal. The more we produce, the more Wingbardy will be able to triumph, and nothing can be allowed to stand in the way of Wingbardian Triumph.
|
|
Productivism
|
Found the OVRA
Subversive socialist and even liberal politicians have been organising resistance against our rule, calling our takeover undemocratic. We will found the Organizzazione per la Vigilanza e la Repressione dell'Antifascismo, the Organisation for Vigilance and the Repression of Antifascism, consisting of senior blackwings and police officers, to tear down these rotten elements of our society.
|
|
OVRA
|
National Recreational Club
Our citizens' time off is as important for their wellbeing as their time working. To make sure our griffons have high spirits and are well taken care off, they will be given the opportunity to take part in the National Recreational Club, which will provide useful free time activities to keep them in shape and teach skills a true patriot could need. We will expect every citizen to enrol in their local NRC.

|
|
The Feline Association of the Lictor
Beakolini has great plans to expand Wingbardy's overseas holdings into an Empire worthy of the country's proud history. Logically, that will mean ruling over a lot of Abyssinian Felines. To prepare for this expansion the Partito Nazionale Fascista will create the Feline Association of the Lictor, a party branch open to these Zebrican natives.
|
|
|
The Ras of Purrsia
Wingbardy does not rule Purrsia directly, but through the traditional power on the island, the Ras. He has been less than cooperative lately, using the crisis at home to allow himself more autonomy. Now that we are ready to focus on our colonial possessions, we should extend a claw to him and sway him to our side, so that we earn the loyalty of his people.
|
|
|
Military Rule Overseas
Our colonial subjects have long suffered under compromises made with local powerholders such as the Ras of Purrsia. It is time for the military to remove these meddlesome figures from power and establish direct and efficient control of overseas Wingbardy. The Abyssinians will thank us in the end.
|
|
|
Expand into Katkat
When Wingbardy acquired the Katren concession from Abyssinia, the exact agreement on borders was vague. While there were internal issues, the government had been content to just exploit the city. If we want to expand our Zebrican holdings, however, we need to acquire the surrounding Katkat region as a staging ground for military operations.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Crush the Lion of Abyssinia
Our preparations in Purrsia and Katren have all led up to this moment. The Wingbardian people are expecting victory overseas. The military is eager to test their mettle against the felines of Zebrica. We shall crush the Lion of Abyssinia and deliver the triumph that shall transform our holdings into a great colonial empire!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Triumph in Zebrica
Wingbardy reigns supreme! Organised Abyssinian resistance has been crushed and the felines have been forced to capitulate. The papers are full of our military's heroic actions and the atmosphere in Karthin is jubilant. Now is the time to enjoy the sweet glory of a triumph. [Root.GetLeader] will don the laurel wreath of victory and style himself an ancient victor.
|
|
|
Develop Purrsia
To say Purrsia is not the most developed part of our nation would be an understatement. The infrastructure on the island is outdated and some of the major roads are dangerous even for military trucks. If Purrsia is to reach her full potential, an ambitious development package must be initiated.
|
|
|
AGWP Land Grants
The Azienda Generale Wingbardia Petroli is off to a flying start in Wingbardy proper, overseeing our refining operations. We received news that the AGWP has recently performed prospecting in our colonial possessions and has struck oil! To properly exploit these new wells, they will need acquire the oil deposits, at the cost of the local inhabitants' land rights. Such is the way of progress.
|
|
|
Colonial Troops
It is expensive and unpopular to send soldiers overseas, away from their families and homes. With colonial control established, it would be best to let part of the overseas garrison be made up of native felines instead. With the promise of good pay and social status, it should be possible to find enough cats to reduce the burden on our griffon soldiers.
|
|
Colonial Troops icon Colonial Troops
|
Colonial Railways
The invasion of Abyssinia was often hampered by the poor state of the country's infrastructure. With the country now under our rule, it is time to connect the major cities with proper railroad lines, so that we can more easily control and exploit the colony.
|
|
|
Abyssinian Riches
Abyssinia is a rich land. Rich in all the resources Wingbardy needs to defend itself and to prosper. We shall send prospectors, engineers and mining crews to extract these riches from the earth and bring them back home.
|
|
|
Feline Assimilation
The elites of Abyssinia have quickly adjusted to our rule, socialising with our ruling class and adopting Wingbardian fashions and cuisine while learning the language. With time and effort, it might be possible to assimilate the Felines into our culture and make them feel like a proper part of our Empire.
|
|
|
Limited Self Rule
It is inefficient and undesirable to completely control the overseas territories from Karthin. Our governors, along with the local elite can react way more efficiently to the needs of the population and undermine any opposition before it materialises. If Wingbardy shows the felines the respect they expect, opposition to our rule should fade away.
|
|
|
Intervention in Arabia
Western Zebrica has long been dominated by the mighty Saddle Arabia, however, the nation has erupted into a civil war. With a timely and generous intervention, we could ensure the victors are grateful and look to our regime favourably.
|
|
|
Reignite the Industrial Sector
Wingbardy's industry was once the envy of all Griffonia, but it has stagnated for years, falling into disarray. We must reignite this nation's industrial spark to ensure that once again Wingbardy comes out on top.
|
|
|
|
Karthin-Wrobert Railway
Karthin and Wrobert are the two largest ports of Wingbardy, accounting for most of the sea-bound imports and exports. However, the railroad connecting these two economic powerhouses is outdated. By modernizing this railway and adding a connection to Talcara, all major coastal hubs will be properly serviced.
|
|
|
|
Connect Falcor
The large city of Falcor has been a relatively recent conquest from the Falcor War, but is still a large economic contributor. It is therefore unacceptable that the city hasn't been integrated into the Wingbardian rail network. We must start treating the city as the integral part of Wingbardy it is. And if somegriffon questions that status, we will be able to more easily deploy troops to crush that challenge.
|
|
|
|
The Piumave Line
The northern and central parts of our country have been underdeveloped for quite some time, owing to long travel times between the cities and the countryside. It is imperative that the government invests in new infrastructure projects to bring to connect the regions, with the proposed Piumave Line being the most costly endeavour.
|
|
|
|
Expand the Southern Industries
The coastal south with Wrobert, Karthin and Talcara has long been the industrial heart of the nation and there is no reason for that to change. The economy will soar on top of the mighty wing of the big three once more, if we but make a hefty investment in the right companies.
|
|
|
Develop the Lowing Gap
As the name implies, the Lowing Gap is the backwater of the country and has received little investment during the industrial revolution. That does not mean there is a lack of potential in the area, however, and it would be wise for the country to diversify its industries. With an industrial development fund, we will fill the Lowing Gap with the wealth of progress.
|
|
|
Build a Military Economy
With the threat of war looming, Wingbardy must be prepared in case fighting does break out. An able-bodied Wingbardian is only half a soldier without his rifle, so let us make sure that the State will be able to provide him ten rifles!
|
|
|
University of Feathara
The University of Feathara is the oldest education institution in South Griffonia. With some extra funding, it can open up its doors to more Wingbardians to ensure that our nation continues to stay ahead in the education leagues.
|
|
Education Reform
|
Economic Recovery
It has been a long time coming, but we have finally revitalised our ailing economy and industry. Not only have we brought back the spark of life to Wingbardy, but we have improved our fiscal and industrial capacity to the point that no one can honestly call our country economically or industrially backwards. Wingbardy is once more the pride of the continent!
|
|
|
Create the AGWP
In this age of mass industry, we will need to expand and control our gasoline production if we are to compete. The Azienda Generale Wingbardia Petroli will be formed to oversee our oil industry. To prevent any private interests from harming its growth, we will nationalize our country's subsoil and ban any unapproved oil-related activities.
|
|
|
Create the AGWP - DRPS
Extracting what little oil the gods have seen fit to provide us with will only take us so far. We will need alternatives to fuel our economy and military. Thus, we will create the Divisione di Raffinata e Produzione Sintetica within the AGWP to refine imported crude oil and explore synthetic gasoline production.
|
|
|
The Librarsia-Taloncana Pipeline
Like a body has veins, a modern country requires pipelines running through it. The Librarsia region is already well-connected to Karthin but we will need to build a new pipeline connecting it to Taloncana.
|
|
|
Rubber Autarky
The DRPS has seen some success in producing artificial rubber. If we invest wisely into it, we can expand our vulcanized rubber production on a vast scale. And with it, true autarky in that sector is achievable, something that will make both our industry and military the envy of the world.
|
|
|
Wingbardian Motor Industry
In the past, the name of Taloncia brought to mind top of the line cars and trucks, and Wingbardy was once the home of the griffon-made motorised vehicles. We've fallen a long way from grace since, but we can still reclaim that proud title once more!
|
|
|
Owlivetti Electronics
Founded by Guglielmo Owlivetti, the latest in a long line of great Wingbardian scientists, Owlivetti Electronics is one of the most prestigious and well-known electronics brands in the world. We should provide support to help them expand their capabilities.
|
|
|
The Counting Engine
Guglielmo Owlivetti, the pioneer of Wingbardian electronics, has developed a new machine capable of calculating complex mathematical equations in a fraction of a second. This machine will revolutionise the future of electronics and mathematics; he calls it the Counting Engine.
|
|
|
|
Reaffirm the Karthin Protocols
The Karthin Pact has kept the south safe for decades since the fall of the Empire. We should take time to reaffirm our commitments to our allies and celebrate our long friendship.
|
|
|
|
Expand The Pact
To truly ensure the freedom of the south and the leading position of Wingbardy, the Karthinian Pact must be expanded. Only together can we stand against northern expansionists and the wicked beast of communism.
|
The following will bypass the focus:

Southern Security Council
With the growing tensions on the continent, we must form a unified strategy with our allies. Establishing a council of alliance members is the first step in achieving this.

The Southern States were once the home of the greatest of griffon minds. We should build a united research and development society to help bring us back to the forefront of the world.

[Root.GetRegiaMarinaName]
Wingbardy has long since had a strong naval tradition that allowed it to exert its influence far with a powerful navy. Unfortunately, our navy has fallen upon hard times, and it has both shrunk and become antiquated. It is high time that we rectify this.
|
|
|
|
Restart Fleet Expansion
A navy is limited by its home ports, and our port facilities have been shown to be inadequate. Before we can begin to properly modernise our navy, we must first improve our dockyards and ports.
|
|
|
High Seas Fleet
Naval theorists have often pondered upon the limits of up-gunning and up-armouring battleships, and some theorise that there might be such a thing as a battleship that is simply too big to sink. Such a vessel will be incredibly expensive and slow to produce, but it will instil fear into the hearts of our naval rivals.
|
|
|
Raiding Fleet
Our Submarine fleet is the envy of the world (hippogriffs and changelings withstanding). We should embrace these silent weapons of war and use them to their full potential.
|
|
|
Froggriffs
The Froggriffs are scuba-diver trained griffons tasked with silently approaching ships at night and planting mines to their hulls. Early tests have shown much promise, and Froggriffs are expected to be highly effective supplement to our naval forces.

|
Fanteria della Marina
Previous amphibious operations have proven difficult and have often ended poorly for our forces. Some experts believe that a dedicated force specifically trained in executing naval landings would not only outperform a normal landing force, but would open up a whole new world of possibilities in future conflicts.
|
|
|
Advanced Torpedo Designs
Torpedoes are perhaps some of the most effective weapons against ships, and Wingbardy has been at the forefront of their design for decades. We should fund extra research into these devastatingly effective weapons.
|
|
 Long Ranged Torpedoes
|
Nostra Costa
Our coast is another border that our forces must watch over, and our fleets are hard-pressed enough as it is. We could use this to our advantage however, and lull our enemies into a false sense of security. Then, when they least expect it, we can unleash our modern submarine fleets upon them!
|
|
|
Dockyard Expansion Fund
A fund should be set up to allow our dockyard owners to expand their facilities. This will provide sufficient space for our navy to grow.
|
|
|
|
Naval Projection
The seas are vast and wide. Why limit our naval actions to the Mediolano or Celestiano when the whole world is out there for us?
|
|
 Naval Projection
|
Nostro Mare
The Mediolano is split between griffons, hippogriffs, seaponies, harpies and zebra. But with our mighty new fleet, who would dare to challenge our supremacy over our sea?
|
|
Nostro Mare icon Nostro Mare
|
Carriers
We have heard about Equestrians using large vessels that can act as mobile sea airstrips, and while some of the Admiralty scoff at the notion, many are intrigued by the idea. Griffons have always been inextricably linked to the sky, so why not combine our nature with our naval traditions?
|
|
|
Naval Bombers
Past lessons have demonstrated that ships are particularly vulnerable to air attacks. Working in tandem with the Aeronautics Institute, new aircraft can be designed specifically to sink enemy vessels. Being far cheaper to produce than most ships, these naval bombers would prove to be an effective and cost-efficient anti-ship weapon.
|
|
|
![[Root.GetRegiaAeronauticaName] icon](/wiki/File:Royal_Air_Force_2.png)
[Root.GetRegiaAeronauticaName]
Prior to the collapse of the old Empire, Wingbardy was home to one of the most vibrant and active scenes of aeronautics experts on the continent. With our government once more united, we can once again make our nation the cradle of modern aviation.
|
|
|
Reinvest in Air Development
Designing a good fighter aircraft requires a degree of technical skill that we currently lack. Offering generous contracts for new models would entice designers to produce a truly modern fighter that we can use to be the pride of our air force.
|
|
|
CAS
Fighters alone cannot win the war in the air. Bombers designed for close air support and tactical bombing will offer us a flexibility that will prove essential in establishing our supremacy of the skies.
|
|
|
Airbase Expansion
We may have the aircraft, but they lack the facilities and hangars from which to carry out missions. Improving our current airbases will allow us to maintain more planes in the air for longer.
|
|

[Root.GetRoyalAronauticsInstatuteName]
Wingbardy has a good number of competing aircraft designer companies, and while competition is normally a great motivator for innovation, it would perhaps be better if their efforts were better coordinated under a centralised body; Wingbardy needs an Aeronautics Institute.
|
|
|
Radar Experiments
In collaboration with the Aeronautics Institute, Guglielmo Owlivetti has come up with an advanced system for detecting aircraft using radio waves. The tactical implications that these systems provide are extremely tantalising.
|
|
|
Heavy Bombers
Our current bomber designs have a limited bomb capacity and range. New designs for even larger bombers that can carry more ordnance and fly for far longer will allow us to strike harder at our foes from farther away. Not even their homes will be safe from our wrath!
|
|
|
Project Thunderflash
Some say Guglielmo Owlivetti has gone mad, while others say that his latest creation is his magnum opus. With a flash of light and the roar of thunder, our enemies will turn to ash and dust.
|
|
|
|
G202 Folgore
Accipitri has approached us with schematics for a new fighter aircraft that is fully enclosed and has a more streamlined fuselage than previous models. They've been having trouble finding an engine powerful enough to power it, and have asked us to assist them in the search for a suitable engine.
|
|
|
Project Slingshot
Gaetano Chocco has worked for years perfecting on a reaction engineer that uses a jet rather than a propeller to create thrust. These consume large amounts of propellant, but put out much more energy than conventional engines. What if we were to strap bombs on them? Perhaps we could even mount them on aircraft...
|
|
|
![[Root.GetRegioEsercitoName] icon](/wiki/File:Royal_Wingbardian_Army_1.png)
[Root.GetRegioEsercitoName]
Wingbardy once had a mighty army that could once rival that of the Griffonian Empire of old. We have fallen far from grace since then, but with our government once more united, we can begin to give our army the attention that it desperately needs.
|
|
|
Refund the Firearms Industry
Our weapons are mostly comprised of old models of rifles that are beginning to show their age. Offering some incentives to firearms manufacturers like Beaketta would hasten the development of newer weapons.
|
|
|
Division Reformation
The Wingbardian army is organized around a somewhat archaic divisional structure, dating back to the days of the Griffonian Empire. By reorganizing our divisions among more modern lines, we can increase the flexibility of individual battalions while decreasing chain-of-command overhead.
|

![[Root.GetRefundOfficersSchoolName] icon](/wiki/File:Goal_military_academy.png)
[Root.GetRefundOfficersSchoolName]
Tanks, trucks and other new tools of war have their place, but in the end, war revolves around the common fighting griffon. The current General Staff is well-versed in this field, and they can improve upon their prior knowledge.
|
|
|
|
Promote Young Officers
Previous wars have relied upon mass infantry, and our old doctrines are centred around them. However, with the advent of armoured fighting vehicles and trucks, it is clear that the Wingbardian General Staff needs new blood so that it can explore new doctrines based on this new way to wage war.
|
|
|
|
Old Ideas
Although diving headfirst into doctrinal experimentation might be tempting, we cannot afford to gamble with Wingbardy's security. The Wingbardian army has traditionally focused on a strong core of infantry, and there is no reason to stray from that now.
|
|
|
|
Armoured Trucks
The mobility that trucks give to infantry formation has been a massive boon to our military, but their armor leaves much to be desired. By reinforcing the vehicle's body with armor and adding mounted weapons, we can ensure that small arms fire will no longer threaten our motorized formations.
|
|
|
Tank Designs
Following the advice from our reformed General Staff, new designs for lightweight and speedy tanks have to be drawn up to comply with the Army's new land doctrines. These vehicles will be the spearhead that will pierce through the armour of our enemies.
|
|
|
Elite Unit Training
As warfare continues to advance, the necessity of specialized formations of troops has become more apparent. By investing in the training of such troops, Wingbardy can achieve a greater degree of strategic flexibility.
|
|
 Elite Unit Training
|
Montanari Alati
Previous wars have given rise to certain soldiers that distinguished themselves as particularly tenacious and disciplined, the Montanari Alati, proving to be the cream of the crop of Wingbardy's infantry. This elite group traditionally fills mountaineer and airborne corps, and though they are powerful in their own right, the corps can always be expanded upon.
|
|
|
|
Alpini
The necessity of specialized training and equipment for mountain-based warfare has long been a known factor. Considering several of our neighboring states' terrain, investing in and expanding the existing Wingbardian Alpini corps would be a wise move.
|
|
|
Paracadutisti
The idea of attacks from the skies is hardly a new one for griffons, but the advent of powered flight has opened up several new possibilities. Planes can carry troops far further than their wings would normally allow and can crucially do so without tiring the troops out. Establishing an official parachutist corps would allow us to take full advantage of these possibilities.
|
|
|
New Artillery
Asides from the fighting griffon, artillery has defined the history of warfare. While the concept hasn't really changed, the equipment does, and we can improve upon our current artillery designs to rain more death upon our enemies.
|
|
|
Reserve Divisions
Our land forces will require massive numbers of griffons to fully strengthen our divisions, but current recruitment drives won't allow for reserves. New campaigns to instil into able-bodied Wingbardians as sense of duty to serve the nation will go a long way to resolve this issue.
|
|
 Reserve Divisions
|
Expand the Logistical Corps
Our armies are outpacing our current supply trains and messaging systems, jeopardising the integrity of our fighting forces and their capacity to drive far and deep into enemy territory. Focusing on improving and integrating logistical and signal battalions to support our faster divisions will make our forces more effective.
|
|
|
Royal Support Corps
There is more to an army than its weapons and soldiers. The support staff and medical personnel have always been integral in military history, but we can form dedicated battalions suited specifically to support the fighting griffons of an army.
|
|
|
Beak and Claw
Improving our equipment and is all well and good, but we mustn't forget that we must account for our biology. Even when weapon-less, a griffon is a dangerous opponent, and we must take into consideration our innate fighting spirit when developing new tools and weapons to fully exploit their use.

Artillery Supremacy
Modern war's greatest killer is the artillery shell. Improving on artillery crew training and firing drills, as well as designing newer howitzer designs, we can make them the pride of the Wingbardian army.
