Realm of Kiria gets a unique national focus tree. Most of the tree is initially invisible, and it expands based on player choices.
The focus tree as visible at the start of the game.
In The Vermilion Realm Branch
The first branch of the focus tree serves as the introduction to Kiria's situation and her ambitious dream to rapidly catch up with the rest of the world. This project is called "the Three and a Half Year Plan" or "the Grand Gallop Onward". If you wish to succeed, you must ensure to maintain stability above 10%, otherwise a civil war break out. This, however, opens up additional, non-harmonic paths.
Worth noting is the "In the Vermilion Court" focus. The decision you take in the subsequent event will have the largest impact on what the civil war will look like, if it starts.
| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects |
|---|---|---|
In the Vermilion Realm
With the ratification of the Hyacinth Accord and the departure of the Equestrian delegation, it is time for the Matriarch Superior to bring The Silence to an end in earnest and allow her realm to focus on modernization and rejoining the global community. A grand assembly of the brightest minds both within and without Kiria will serve as the basis upon which to begin our modernization efforts.
|
|
Begins the All-Kirin Plenum for National Revival.
|
Welcome the Delegates
Delegates from across the Realm are arriving in Vermilion on a daily basis, bringing with them their own experiences and ideas on how to propel Kiria into the modern era in just a few short years. Many more come from beyond its borders, educated in foreign nations and exposed to their culture. All of their ideas will be useful in rewriting Kiria's future and starting a new chapter for the nation.
|
|
|
Dispatch the Envoys
While those living in Vermilion learned almost immediately that the imperial decrees that created The Silence have been repealed, there are countless thousands of kirin living in rural villages who are still unaware that their fortunes are soon to change for the better. Imperial heralds shall venture forth throughout the Realm and find every last village to share the Matriarch's good news.
|
|
|
An Industrial Convocation
If the Realm is to leapfrog over a hundred years of missed progress and modernization, then it will need kirin educated and trained abroad to make it happen. Fickle Current will use his literati ties to the kirin diaspora to bring many of the kirin species' best and brightest minds home to help modernize the nation.
|
|
|
The 3½ Year Plan
The rapid modernization of Kiria will be a chaotic process that can only be sustained for so long. The Matriarch has proclaimed 'The Grand Gallop Onward', aiming to fast-track a century's worth of lost progress in three and a half years. The Plenum will have to deftly manage the tumultuous transformation of Kirin society and culture if Kiria is to emerge intact from this rough and hasty metamorphosis.
|
|
|
Reassemble the Banners
Kiria once possessed an impressive military supported by the Banner System, where each city contributed soldiers to a local Banner that could be rallied and commanded at the Matriarch's discretion. These soldiers would then be given land following their service, creating an entire class of proud soldier-citizens. It is time to rally these soldiers once more to face the threats of the modern era.
|
|
|
The Reform Bureau
The Reform Bureau is a centralized executive body created for the All-Kiria Plenum for National Revival and granted a limited amount of imperial mandate by the Matriarch herself. It serves as the central governing body of the rapidly changing Realm, and it is here that the final drafts of bills are hammered out before being presented to the Matriarch Superior.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Reestablish Rulership
Throughout The Silence's century-long stranglehold on the Realm of Kiria, the absolute authority of the Dynasty waned throughout the countryside as contact with Vermilion ceased to exist. A fresh round of imperial decrees and a reassertion of Matriarch Rain Shine's divine authority will begin to reassert her authority over the Realm, though some might chafe under our resumed governance.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Call Upon the Diaspora
From the very beginning of The Silence, some of our most talented and educated kirin fled the Realm to look for a better life elsewhere in the world. For a century, those kirin and their descendants have flourished abroad, gaining skills, knowledge, and capital that they could not gain here at home. We must bring them back to Kiria and ask them to help contribute to the modernization of our nation.
|
|
Offmap Civilian Factories: +3
 Modernisation!
|
The Autumnal Premiership
Premier Autumn Blaze is a young kirin left in charge of the greatest undertaking in kirin history, with consequences that will shape our history for decades to come. It is a lot of responsibility for one mare to shoulder, but she is determined to shoulder it, and Matriarch Superior Rain Shine has entrusted in her almost unlimited authority to choose the path of the nation's modernisation.
|
|
|
The Road to Vermilion
The roads that once connected Vermilion with the rest of Concord's realm have long since been overgrown, owing to their disuse during The Silence. Using priests to recruit local laborers to the cause, clearing and reestablishing these roads will be crucial to once more unifying the realm under Matriarch Superior Rain Shine's rule.
|
|
|
Technological Imports
If we are to advance as a nation, we cannot afford to waste time rediscovering technologies that have long since been perfected in foreign lands. By asking the returning kirin literati for help in supplying the nation with copies and examples of state-of-the-art technology, we can reverse-engineer our designs and rapidly scale up our industrial capabilities in a very short timeframe.
|
|
|
In the Vermilion Court
The delegates at the Plenum have begun to coalesce into different factions with their own ideas for how the modernization of Kiria should look, far from the heterogenous mixture of ideas and experiences that our Matriarch originally hoped for. But even still, the three parties that have formed at the Plenum do not represent the voices of all of her subjects...
|
|
|
The Office of Transmission
Understanding the impossibility of having every kirin in the Realm venture to Vermilion to share their ideas and complaints with the Matriarch Superior, Matriarch Rain Shine has decreed that the Office of Transmission be established to receive letters and appeals from her subjects and bring them to her immediate attention, so that they may be discussed during gatherings of the Plenum.
|
|
|
Recommission the Rhapsody Arsenal
The Rhapsody Arsenal was once the forefront of kirin weapons invention and gained fame across eastern Zebrica for the quality of the cannons they manufactured. But for a century now, the arsenal has been closed and abandoned. It is time to reopen the Rhapsody Arsenal and combine the inventions of the modern era with the ingenuity of the kirin that once made it so renowned.
|
|
|
A Vermilion Armada
Our once proud navy was mothballed and later scuttled as a result of The Silence. We control a large swath of coastline in eastern Zebrica, yet we have no navy to patrol it. We must begin to build and assemble a modern navy to keep our coastlines safe and allow us to project our force over the waves that we rightfully rule.
|
|
|
Geological Surveys
Kiria is full of untapped potential when it comes to our resources. What we produce today only scratches the surface of the Realm's potential. We know that our hills are full of natural resources that have yet to be properly exploited by industrial excavation operations. All we have to do is fund geological surveys to find the best deposits and encourage excavation companies to dig them up.
|
|
|
Scholar-Monk Travelling Syndicates
Monks and priests have long been the preeminent backbone of Kiria's education system, traveling across the land to spread their teachings of The Way of Fire with the common kirin, and training those who enter their order to read and write. By recruiting these traveling syndicates to educate the populace, we can make bold steps in combating illiteracy throughout the Realm.
|
|
|
The "Three Strengths" Campaign
The modernization efforts of the Plenum have long been championed by the 'Three Strengths' campaign, which promotes Harmony, Heritage, and Homeland as its three most important values. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that each strength has been taken up by a different clique as their championing point. One of these cliques will naturally resonate more with the kirin people than the others.
|
|
|
The Laws of the Realm
While we have moved to enact new laws and decrees to improve the standing of the realm, there are still many harsh laws that exist from The Silence. One such law makes transforming into the nirik state a capital offense punishable by death. Though loosely enforced throughout The Silence, a debate rages on the necessity of this law as the realm modernizes at a rate never seen before.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
The Charter of Rights
As we move away from the society of our past to the society of a modern age, we have the opportunity to learn from the struggles of other nations. Industrialization was often brutal on the laborers that fueled it, and protections for these workers only came after they were forced to endure unimaginable suffering. Let us guarantee protections for our workers so they do not have to needlessly suffer as well.
|
|
|
The New Standard Army
It is difficult to create a modern army from scratch, but we will have to try regardless. Standardizing army doctrine and training regimens, laying out the benefits and terms of service, and acquiring foreign weapons and surplus equipment will go a long way in providing the basis to build the New Standard Army upon.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Recall, Rearm, Regroup
Reassembling the Banners was a start, but there are currently too few kirin who have answered the call to form a functional modern military. We must start by organizing limited conscription and drafting peasants and commoners to create regional militias that, with proper training, may one day join the Banners and provide the backbone for our modern army.
|
|
|
Land Repossessions
Much of the Realm's land falls into one of two categories: unpopulated bastions of nature, or sprawling subsistence farms. By concentrating our efforts on reorganizing our farmland and making in-roads into untapped nature reserves, we can greatly expand the amount of available land we have for building projects, allowing us to increase the density of our growing industrial base.
|
|
|
Agrarian Consolidation
As kirin moved out of the cities at the beginning of The Silence, they set up subsistence farms across the countryside wherever they could find land. Most of these farms are small and poorly managed, reliant wholly on manual labor to grow any crops. Consolidating clusters of these farms under one manager and bringing in modern farming equipment will increase their productivity and free up valuable land.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Resettle Kirin Returnees
As the diaspora returns home, these long-lost sons and daughters of Kiria need a place to live. Thankfully, Kiria is a vast realm full of land, and most of its towns and cities are underpopulated, meaning it will be easy to find homes for them all. This has the added benefit of boosting the average literacy rates in our population centers, even if it comes with a wide variety of potentially subversive foreign ideas.
|
|
Stability: -5.00% All Coastal States: Weekly Population Growth: +300
Modernisation!
All Coastal States: Weekly Population Growth: +300
|
The Council of the Verdigris Rotunda
The Morning Secretariat has long served as the Matriarch Superior's counciling body, offering advice and interpretations of Concord's will to the Matriarch to inform her rule. Since its conception, it has been entirely populated by priests and mystics from The Way of Fire, whose concerns are often more spiritual than temporal. A new Morning Secretariat must be appointed to guide Kiria in a new era.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Repeal the Quiescence
The Quiescence was a series of decrees that went along with The Silence that suppressed the study of science, religion, philosophy, and many other forms of education in the realm. As a result, our society has stagnated, and much of the populace is illiterate. If we wish to educate a new generation of kirin, the Quiescence must be repealed in its entirety.
|
|
|
Found the Motor Bureau
The days of marching an army from one end of the nation to the other is over. A truly modern army can move its troops to where they need to go using motorized equipment. Fickle Current has offered to use his funds to procure Griffonian trucks and establish a motor bureau that will aid in researching and producing trucks to allow our army to motorize.
|
|
|
Kirin Rifle Designs
Our species is blessed by Concord in that every individual can use basic telekinesis to manipulate objects and hold weapons. We can use this gift that we have been blessed with to create weapons ideal for our species that only we can use, rather than relying on the designs of other nations. If we want to create a functional modern army, then we need guns made here at home, and we need a lot of them.
|
|
|
Develop the Eastern Seaboard
The kirin living on our seaboards were almost entirely reliant on fishing to survive throughout The Silence; as a result, the eastern seaboard in particular is woefully underdeveloped. We can make use of these scattered fishing villages to cobble together local workforces for new dockyards and shipyards along the coast that will boost our naval production and economy.
|
|
|
Northern Industry
Fragrance and Rhapsody were two important bastions of modernization before The Silence, and both cities resisted its imposition to various extents, planting the seeds for future modernization efforts. Now, they will be some of the first cities to benefit from the resurgence of modernization, and are already constructing massive industrial complexes to capitalize on this change.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
The Role of the Way of Fire vis-à-vis the State
Since the creation of the Vermilion Realm, the nation has been ruled as a theocracy, with The Way of Fire and Concord's teachings inextricably entwined with every facet of governance and daily life. But now a proposal is crossing the Plenum floor to extricate the inextricable. Is it possible to partially secularize this centuries-old theocracy, or is the mere suggestion of that possibility nothing but heresy?
|
|
|
The All-Kiria Collegium
Kiria's first modern university, the All-Kiria Collegium will train the next generation of native kirin intellectuals, with the assistance of professors and scholars educated in foreign lands such as Equestria and Yale. However, with new ideas come new dangerous thoughts. Will we let our professors teach freely, or should they be monitored by the Reform Bureau to weed out radical thought?
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
The Riverine Economy
The Great Mellifluve is the lifeblood of the Cradle of Kirinity. Its vast waterways connect distant towns and cities while providing fertile ground for farmland in between. Investing in the local economy that has grown around the river will make the strength of our nation that much stronger, allowing us to create a booming business growth in our heartlands that fuels growth throughout the Realm.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Doctrinal Modernisation
Modern wars are not fought with infantry formations, pitched battles, and sheer force of will. Modern wars are won by well-planned and coordinated actions defined by the military's doctrine that dictates how the army should act. Developing our land doctrines will be useful for modernising our army and giving it the ability to fight effectively in the field.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Vanguards of a New Age
The kirin vanguards have long been the best of our best soldiers. Lightly armed and armored, they fought as deadly skirmishers at the front of our armies, whittling the enemy down and threatening their flanks while the main host moved in to engage. But in the age of gunpowder and mechanized warfare, we need to adapt our vanguards to incorporate modern hit-and-gallop tactics into their arsenal.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
The Role of the Matriarch Superior
The position of the Matriarch Superior is one of unlimited divine authority bestowed on the Matriarch by Concord herself. Her powers are broad and poorly defined, and any decree she issues is to be considered law as soon as it is proclaimed. Such archaic methods of governance have no place in a modern nation, and so it is time to codify the powers of the Matriarch Superior and her government.
|
|
|
The Fragrant Flotilla
Sitting at the bottom of the Fragrant harbor are three old warships, once the most modern ships in the Realm, but scuttled during a sailor mutiny in the city during The Silence. They have been underwater for decades now, but expeditions have confirmed that they are still in decent condition. Raising these three ships and retrofitting them will allow us to field three outdated but formidable ships in our new navy.
|
|
|
Industrialise the Breadbasket
The farmland between the branches of the Great Mellifluve River is the most fertile in the land. With the benefits of modern farming techniques and tools, it alone could produce enough food to feed every kirin in the nation three square meals a day. Investment in the breadbasket will strengthen the nation as a whole for years to come, and ensure that no kirin goes hungry ever again.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Open Up the Ports
The port of Fragrance was once the most important in all of Kiria, connecting our nation with traders from as far away as Griffonia. Fragrance's port was shut down when The Silence began, and its harbors have fallen into decay. With enough investment, however, we can return Fragrance to its former glory, and Fragrance can once again connect us to the rest of the world.
|
|
|
The Massicot War School
The training grounds of Massicot once were the pride of our army, where thousands of soldiers could be trained in the art of war. The War School has been closed for a century now, and no new students have passed through its doors. To rebuild our army, we must reopen the school and begin training the next generation of soldiers.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Seafarer Marines
The Sycee Trading House has long employed seafarer marines in Griffonia to protect its ships from pirate attack when moving valuable goods along the high seas. These marines are largely members of the diaspora and would be better served protecting their homeland rather than business interests. We will negotiate the assimilation of Sycee's seafarer marines into our Banners to bolster our army's capabilities.
|
|
|
Restoring the Bureaucracy
Following the imposition of The Silence, the system of bureaucrats and administrators that allowed the nation to function as a cohesive whole has since collapsed. It is time to appoint new advisors, governors, and administrators to once more take control of the Realm, bringing the various local administrations back under the Matriarch's control and restarting the economy.
|
|
|
An Imperial Constitution
It is time to draft a constitution that will lay out the powers and privileges of each branch of our new government. The authority of the Matriarch Superior will be defined, and the responsibilities of the Morning Secretariat laid out. However, the Realm lacks a modern judicial system, and it is up to the Premier to come up with a proposal for one that will best serve the interests of the Realm.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Verdant Manufactories
The city of Verdant is proving to be a fertile ground for the growth of modernisation in the realm. With an abundance of labor and room to expand, the working class in Verdant is growing faster than perhaps anywhere else in Kiria. But with all this new labor comes the spread of new and radical ideas, and the workers that build factories today may get ideas about taking them back tomorrow...
|
|
|
The Trans-Kiria Railway
If Kiria is to become united and modern, then a way of bringing people and goods from one side of the nation to the other is essential. While the Great Mellifluve has long served as a crucial highway for our realm, it cannot reach everywhere. The construction of modern and standardized railways throughout the realm will bring our people together like never before.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Riches of the Mellifluve
The far branches of the Mellifluve once carried their exports down its waters to the city of Verdant, where they were organized and recorded before being launched to the rest of the Realm as valuable products or to the world as trade goods. The towns along these branches have long since withered with the collapse of the economy, and need our help to become prosperous once more.
|
|
|
Kiria on the World Stage
We have come far in our reforms, and the world is beginning to take notice. It is time that we invite delegations from all across the world to Vermilion to witness not only our traditional culture but the advances we have made. This isn't all fun and games however; Kiria needs help to move into the modern era, and making a good impression on our foreign peers will make them more likely to lend us aid.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
The Experimental Armored Corps
The modern battlefield heavily features the use of bulletproof armored vehicles, which can create an unstoppable spearhead at the front of an offensive, or deliver a decisive counterattack to an enemy breakthrough. While we currently lack the industry to create state-of-the-art tanks, we can invest in light armored vehicles as a stopgap until our industrial capabilities expand further.
|
|
|
Through Flame and Fury
The Vermilion Banners were once the most feared and professional fighting force in eastern Zebrica, but The Silence has allowed it to decay into a shell of its former self. If we are to complete the rebuilding of our magnificent army, then we must encourage the bravery of our soldiers in the field and the innovation of our philosophers behind it.
|
|
|
Purchase Equestrian Naval Blueprints
We do not have time to develop modern naval ships from scratch, but we do have friends who are already at the forefront of naval thought. We will benefit from our close ties to Equestria to acquire modern blueprints for ships, weapons, fire control systems, and more that will allow us to begin to construct a modern navy.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Urban-Led Modernisation
Modernisation, as has been seen time and time again, starts in the cities and trickles down to the countryside. Though our urban centers declined during The Silence, we can rebuild them with new infrastructure that can support the modernisation of the realm. This will have the side effect of allowing us to draw more kirin into our cities, bringing them to whole new levels of productivity.
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Reclaim Auburn Isle
The pirates of Nacre on Auburn Isle have long been a nuisance to the Realm. Their constant raids along our coastline have destabilized us for too long, and their punishment is overdue. We will sail forth with our new navy and our modern army and put an end to the pirate menace in Nacre!
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
Breakneck Industrialisation
Rapid industrialization of our Realm, at a rate never seen anywhere else in the world, has come with its own host of challenges. One of the most critical of these is the need for skilled and unskilled labor, and we have gone to great lengths to attain workers for our modern society. But bringing so many kirin to one place to work for the gears of capitalism comes the risk of radical leftist ideas spreading around...
|
|
3½ Year Plan Progress: +5%.
|
Military branch
In the event that the Great Gallop Onward succeeds, in addition to their regular endgame focus tree branch, Kiria will get its exclusive military focus tree. They ensure that even without civil war focuses, Kiria's army gets their buffs.
| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects |
|---|---|---|
The New Kirian Army
The initial reforms have been remarkably successful in bringing our old Banners from obscurity caused by The Silence, and slowly turning them into a modern army. However, there is a lot of room for improvement, if we want Kiria to truly be a respectable military power once again, able to protect its kirin from the dangers from beyond.
|
|
Gains Dynamic Modifier: The Vermilion and Kirian Army, which grants dynamic bonuses to Land Combat, Air, Naval and Military Modifiers.
|
The Army Air Corps
Unfortunately, after a century of isolation, our air force is... Pretty much nonexistent. We have a lot of catching up to do, including building new air bases and studying imported plane designs and the theories of air warfare. However, the kirin in the military are optimistic that we'll manage to catch up and create proper Kirian Air Corps in no time!
|
|
|
The Wingluck Whirlwind
The Wingluck Consortium, despite coming from beyond Kiria, has been the main force behind the development of the new Kirian air force. Recently, they have come forward with a new bomber design called the Whirlwind, able to fill different bomber roles with ease. We should invest in this new design, and introduce it to our air force.
|
|
Whirlwind 823 Multirole Bomber Tactical Bomber: Naval Attack: +15% Ground Attack: +15% Strategic Bombing: +15%
|
Close Support Aviation
In addition to bombing crucial targets, aircraft can also be used to provide substantial support to our infantry. If used properly, we could tip the scales in our favor significantly. Of course, due to our lack of experience with the planes in general, we need to thoroughly study the strategy first, so that we will not accidentally bomb our soldiers.
|
|
|
River Gunboats
The Great Mellifluve and other rivers are the lifeblood of Kiria. It is crucial that we learn how to utilize them not only for trading but also for military purposes. Through the use of gunboats, our armies will be able to navigate and attack through the rivers with unmatched efficiency.
|

|
The Fragrance Admiralty
Fragrance used to be the center of Kiria's maritime power before The Silence. Even nowadays, a kirin can find the sunken ships from the old mothballed fleet near its coast. It is only natural that we help the city return to its former glory as the Realm's main port and the seat of power of its admiralty.
|
|
|
|
Native Naval Designs
It's no secret that Kiria's navy is severely outdated, having been mothballed for over a century of The Silence. We need to focus on importing and developing more new ship blueprints as soon as possible, and adapt them to the needs of the Realm.
|
|
|
Modern Junks-of-War
The Fragrance Enterprise had always been the main supplier of the ships for the matriarchate. Should we subsidize it, we can use it to quickly and efficiently create a brand new fleet of modern Junk-of-Wars.
|
|
Atmospheric Displacement Propulsion Engine Screens:
|
|
New Army General Staff
After The Silence, Kiria lacked experienced officers and general staff, with their only experience being quelling rare revolts against the matriarch's decrees. This is beginning to change but our General Staff still requires some reforms, if we are to make Kiria's army a truly modern and competent one.
|
|
|
|
Bannerkirin to Cadres
Banners have been the backbone of the Kirian army for centuries, but while the system has served us well so far, it is not without its flaws. We need to start reforming the bannerkirin into a proper professional army. Their experience, combined with a more modern conscription system, will allow our army to be a force to be reckoned with.
|
|
|
Defense in Depth
The Realm is vast, and we can certainly use it to our advantage for defense purposes, should the need arise. Should we face a superior enemy, we should retreat deeper into the country, and employ scorched earth tactics to slow and spread them out, strain their supply lines, and give our soldiers time to reorganize and prepare a proper counterattack.
|
|
|
Wirelaying Detachments
Barbed wire can be an incredibly useful defense tool, but it needs to be constantly repaired, rebuilt and improved. For that reason, we need to train specialized wire-laying detachments that would support our regular soldiers. It will be a hard, dangerous, and thankless job, but with enough motivation, and probably a bonus to their wage, we should find enough volunteers.
|
|
Artificer Company: Entrenchment: +3 Suppression Bonus: +10% |
|
Realm Defence Network
Kiria is large and consists of different types of regions. Some of them are almost completely flat, others are mountainous, some are more urban, and others are rural. During a defensive war, we cannot treat them the same. Instead, we must prepare separate defensive plans for each of them, capitalizing on their unique characteristics.
|
|
|
The Frontiersmare Armed Service
Kiria's borders are long and behind them are many creatures who would gladly take a piece of our Realm. We cannot devote the entirety of our army to protecting them all the time. We need to establish regiments of Frontiersmare, brave kirin who would patrol our borders, warn us of an incoming invasion, and be the first to stave it off.
|
|
|
Realm Conscription Ordinance
If Kiria is attacked, we need to have enough marepower to defend it properly. We'll introduce new laws that will allow us to draft a significant chunk of our population to the army. However, forcing the kirin to constantly serve is not only not the harmonist way, but it would also be demoralizing to our citizens. Therefore, those laws can only be enacted during wartime.
|
|
|
|
Army Motorization
Trucks are a useful tool for the transportation of troops and supplies. Unfortunately, due to the still-lingering effects of The Silence, we do not have a lot of experience with their use for military purposes. Thankfully, our generals believe that those shortcomings should be easy to make up for if we give it enough time.
|
|
|
|
Onhooves Supply Lines
The vastness of Kiria, combined with its dense forests and steep mountains, can make properly supplying troops a logistical nightmare. However, we can mobilize small groups of onhooves porters that would be in charge of delivering supplies to our troops in difficult areas. They wouldn't be as effective as a truck or a train, but they could reach places where those would fail us.
|
|
|
Pacification Police
In the event of war, we might be forced to occupy portions of the enemy's territory to achieve victory. In that case, we would have to develop methods of handling the local population. We cannot be too harsh to them and make them see us as their enemies, but we must also be strict enough to ensure they would not disturb our further military operations.
|
|
|
Weapons Procurement
Banal as it may sound, the Kirian army needs weapons to fight. One can say a lot of things about the Realm during The Silence, but its excelling at military production is most certainly not one of them. We will start by preparing a plan to efficiently develop our military industry, and building several weapon factories in key areas.
|
|
|
|
Squad Weapons Development
Military technology does not remain stagnant, but unfortunately, due to The Silence, it did in Kiria. While we've barely moved on from arquebuses, some nations have already started incorporating magic crystals into their weaponry. It would be a wise move to invest in research of better, faster, and more reliable weapons for our soldiers if we are to keep up with the rest of the world.
|
|
|
The Artillery Branch
The artillery is one of the most important parts of modern warfare, in the right circumstances being able to easily shred through enemy's soldiers and fortifications. While the destruction it brings is devastating, war does not always allow for such moral qualms. Investing into the research regarding this weaponry is necessary to ensure Kiria's military victories, should the need arise.
|
|
|
The Rocketeer Corps
For centuries, the kirin have wielded pyrotechnics for entertainment and industry. Using modern technology, military applications can be found for the rockets that the kirin are so fond of.
|
|
|
Bicycle-shop Guns
Firearms can get somewhat costly in production, which can strain Kiria's resources. Our designers and artificers believe that simplifying the designs can reduce their production costs, and help us save some resources so we can use them elsewhere. We should give this idea support as it is likely to benefit us substantially in the long term.
|
|
Simplified Firearm Design Schema Infantry Equipment:
|
Permanent and Professional
The recent reforms to our army are already showing effects! The soldiers are much more effective, well-trained, and disciplined than in the past. It is time we finalize the army reforms and truly establish a permanent, professional army of the Realm.

Onhooves Grenadiers
Grenades are definitively one of the most useful, albeit dangerous, inventions brought by advancements in warfare. We can use qualified grenadiers who would be able to support our infantry on the battlefield. We just need time to train them to ensure there will be as efficient and safe as possible.
|
|
|
Assault Barding
The barding commonly used in our army is both highly protective and durable, but it limits its wearer's movements. However, recently our armor designers came up with a scheme for a new type of barding that would sacrifice some of its defensiveness for greater mobility. A switch to this new armor during assaults would afford our soldiers faster and more aggressive attacks on the enemy lines.
|
|
Layered Ceramic Assault Barding Infantry Equipment: Breakthrough: +10% Soft Attack: +5%
|
Burning Detachments
Fire has always been one of the most important elements of kirin nature, but it was usually associated with the Nirik state and its dangers. Nowadays, however, we can access its power in a weaker, but much more controlled way. Using the newly developed incendiary lance known as 'Molten Tongue', we'll be able to unleash the flames against our enemies more easily and safely than before.
|
|
Artificers: Soft Attack: +5% Suppression Bonus: +5% Fort Attack: +20% Urban Attack: +20% |
Traditional Swordsmareship
Though melee weaponry in most nations was mostly replaced with rifles decades ago, and even Kiria starts to embrace this change, our vanguards are one of the best swordsmares in the entire world. Instead of abandoning this tradition, we should teach the vanguards how to incorporate their weapons in the hit-and-gallop tactics.
|
|
|
The Vanguard Elite
The vanguards were and still are the fastest, deadliest, and most well-trained soldiers in our army. We need to make sure of their centuries of experience and tradition, in order to provide significant support for our regular army. We'll train them to be deadly units, adapted to modernity, yet still representing Kirian traditions.
|
|
|
The Parachute Rangers
The advent of aviation gave us access to many new tactics, that were previously not possible. One of them is using specialized banners that would drop behind enemy lines to wreak havoc. If we focus on training such divisions and creating ways to supply them better, it'll allow them to operate on enemy territory more efficiently.
|
|
|
Soldiers of the Land
We cannot expect Kiria to forever be safe from other powers in the world. Sooner or later, we'll have to defend ourselves. We must ensure it is as difficult as possible for our enemies, by teaching our soldiers guerrilla tactics and using our homeland to our advantage.
|
|
|
The Partisan Anvil
An enemy invasion may penetrate deep into the Realm before a counteroffensive can be marshalled. Until then, our stay-behind forces will delay the invaders as much as possible. Once the tide of battle turns, the guerillas will pivot to preventing the invaders' retreat, entrapping them so that they may be smashed on the partisan anvil by the hammer of our counterattacking armies.
|
|
|
|
Kirian Esprit de Corps
Our special forces can tip the scales in our favour during the war. If we keep their morale high, they'll be able to perform to their best capability, therefore we need to ensure they are always satisfied with their work and ready to fight for Kiria.
|
|
|
Left-Behind Snipers
Even if our enemies manage to penetrate into our land, we can use small marksmare brigades, left behind the enemy lines on the occupied territories. They would ensure that the enemy can't hold on to the occupied land so easily, and show the conquered kirin that there is still hope.
|
|
Controlled State or enemy-controlled neighbouring state from Decision:
|
Designated Marksmares
Trained snipers can be incredibly beneficial for our armies, able to spot enemies and attack them from great distances, giving our soldiers room to breathe. By training marksmares and incorporating them into our divisions, we will gain a significant edge in battle.
|
|
Recon Detachment: Soft Attack: +20% Defense: +20% |
The Alpine Corps
Around Vermilion, and on our borders with the deer and llamas in the north, Kiria is covered in steep mountains. While they are already irreplaceable for defensive purposes, trained mountaineer corps could also use them to our advantage for daring attacks. Unlike our enemies, we know these mountains, and it's time to make use of it.
|
|
|
Territorial Volunteers
During wartime, it is very likely that even the non-conscripted kirin will want to support our war effort and take up arms in the defense of Kiria. It would be a good idea to allow them to channel this fervor and form the divisions of territorial volunteers, should the need arise.
|
|
|
|
Army Tanker School
Tanks are another rather recent development in warfare that didn't manage to find its way to Kiria due to The Silence. We lack not only the tanks themselves but also capable personnel able to operate them efficiently. We cannot expect that our enemies will be as far behind as us, so something needs to change in this regard.
|
|
|
Mechanized Fire Support
Mechanized infantry divisions, while costly in production and maintenance, can be very useful on the battlefield. Therefore, we should do whatever we can to maximize their potential. Focusing our resources on developing state-of-the-art turreted vehicles is certainly a step in the right direction.
|
|
Mechanized Infantry: Soft Attack: +5% Suppression Bonus: +5% |
Infantry Tankettes
While tanks are powerful by themselves, they can also be used to support our infantry. Developing small and fast tankettes would us to use them alongside hoof soldiers during combat. While infantry tanks are a relatively new concept that still has yet to prove itself during war, we believe they have great potential.
|

'Vambrace' Mobile Weapons Platform Armored Car: Piercing: +10% Hard Attack: +5% Soft Attack: +5%
'Vambrace' Mobile Weapons Platform Light Tank: Piercing: +10% Hard Attack: +5% Soft Attack: +5%
|
Manoeuvre Tanks
While our tanks can already reach quite impressive speeds, our artificers believe that there is still room for improvements. If we reduce their weight and improve their engines, we'll certainly outmaneuver our enemies with ease.

This branch will unlock upon the start of the civil war. The full version, depicted below, is available if you have invited Rising Fire into the plenum. In addition, that decisions means that during the war you'll also need to deal with a balance of power mechanic. Otherwise, you'll get a mostly similar tree, but without Rising Fire focuses and the BoP mechanic. The true ramifications of that decision, however, will only become apparent after the war.
| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects |
|---|---|---|
The Kirian Civil War
The Silence and the Way of Fire, stifling they may be, certainly guaranteed one thing: stability and safety. With the Silence ripped away haphazardly, a braying cacophony of dissent and war now rings in the ears of everykirin. As Premier Autumn Blaze battles a severe mental breakdown, Kiria has been thrust into the scalding inferno of death and chaos, where its survival rests on the slimmest knife's edge.
|
|
|
Rally the Realm
All loyal kirin, rise to arms! The traitors march on Vermilion, threatening both our way of life and life itself! They will not stop until every last kirin who seeks to preserve a peaceful way of life is gutted and buried in a mass grave. They come to destroy the Matriarch Superior, to annihilate the very spirit of the Kirian nation itself. By Concord, we will not succumb!
|
|
|
|
The Emergency Decree
Though they may pontificate about their benevolent intentions, the Serene Tendency is a hegemon in Kirian politics. It was a common occurrence for Autumn Blaze to even reach out to the NAKP to avoid ceding influence to the Circle. Such concerns are mere memories now, and the unshakeable devotion of the Serene Tendency is precisely what we need to cool the flames which draw closer each day.
|
|
The Frost-Sun Power Struggle will commence!
|
The Party's Resources
As the party favored by Premier Autumn Blaze and her successor Fern Flare, the RaHP sits atop a treasure trove of wealthy benefactors, influential connections, and popular support. We must not hesitate to open these coffers to the service of the Matriarch Superior. It is one of many sacrifices necessary to survive, not just to prevent the disintegration of the party, but to rescue Kiria itself.
|
|
 The Embattled Dynasty
|
|
Mobilise the Faithful
The drums of war beat heavy in the distance as Fern Flare gives a peremptory order to Winter Frost and her Serene Tendency to mobilize fully. As masses of faithful peasantry march with fervor in their eyes to the front lines, the awe-inspiring Serene Mystics, elite shock troops of the Way of Fire, are ready for battle. Traitors tremble in fear to the beat of hooves marching under Concord's banner.
|
|
The Resolute Flame
|
|
The Matriarch's Address
In the lives of today's kirin, and their grandsires, and their grandsires before them, the Matriarch Superior was always apart. An untouchable, inaccessible figure, nearly divine to her devoted subjects. Such a foolish tradition in retrospect, now that a generation marches to die in her name. The people must know who they fight for, and remember what their efforts mean.
|
|
|
|
The Fire Rising
The Rising Fire has taken up arms and stands ready to throw back the NAKP's corruption. While yesterday we were enemies, today we stand together despite their iconoclasm towards the Way of Fire.
|
|
|
|
Invoke the Accord
When the Equestrians Fluttershy and Applejack stepped hoof into the shining Vermilion Realm, they came bearing one philosophy: Harmony. Rain Shine has taken the government system of Harmonic Monarchy to heart, but it is now time to call upon the other meaning: Harmony between Equestria and Kiria. If those distant ponies hold to both their word as protectors of harmony, then we expect aid in short order.

The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Appeal to the Kirin
Wars are not just won through soldiers or tactics. No war can be truly won if it is not seen as just in the eyes of the populace; such an effort is doomed to evanesce like smoke. Already the printers roar with exertion as pamphlets flood the streets, allowing nokirin to forget the war and what is at stake.
|
|
The Embattled Dynasty
|
|
Vermilion Calls!
As an ancient sage once profoundly said, the lone branch is destroyed easily, while a bundle of branches is not. Pure, unquestioning unity is the only way forward out of annihilation. The Matriarch Superior shall bind the disparate branches of the realm using the thread of our shared faith in Vermilion.
|
|
|
|
Fortify the Basin
The Vermilion Basin is the beating heart and thriving soul of our nation, the seat of the Matriarch Superior for time immemorial. Unfortunately, it is alarmingly close to the front with the North Kirian state. While the mountains which serve as natural sentries of the region will hold, for the time being, we must hastily fortify the gaps.
|
|
|
|
Reinforce Aureolin
A religious and strategic bastion located in the far-flung reaches of the Western Territories, the monastery-fortress of Aureolin is our main hoofhold in the rustic northwest. While securing this remote region before it is assaulted is certainly useful, the monastery itself holds crucial symbolic importance to the Serene Tendency as a center of their proselytization efforts.

If the legitimisation of her sect is what it takes to secure Rising Sun's support against Fickle Current's rebellion, so be it. |

Unlikely Comrades
The leftists and heretics of the Rising Fire were warning us about the NAKP's greed and their corruption of Kiria for the entirety of the Autumnal Premiership. And much to our dismay, they were right. But despite that, they've shown up for us now, and we are now allies, or comrades in the parlance of some of their members, in the struggle for Kiria's soul.
|
|
|
The West Awakens
The Western Territories have always been the Rising Fire's base of power, operating out of its rural communities and urban centers, long cut off from Vermilion by the Silence. Rising Sun can call up legions of followers from these provinces and we would be fools to reject them in the fight against Fickle Current's mercenaries.

Even the skies roar their resentment towards the traitors as the first Kirian air squadron in history, the Thunderbolts, arrives on the battlefield. Even the dregs of the Equestrian air force, shipped across an ocean to fight for harmony, wreak unparalleled havoc on the unprepared enemy forces.

|
The Loyal Diaspora
Kiria is not just a nation; it is an idea, a hope. A dream of harmony between kirin, of prosperity, of peace. This is something that Fickle Current and his band of fickle traitors could never understand. A better Kiria cannot be bought, it cannot be produced by a factory. It is in the soul and spirit of those who remain loyal, even in the face of temptation, to the Matriarch Superior.
|
|
The Embattled Dynasty
|
The Territorial Volunteers
In war, there are no easy choices. With a heavy heart Rain Shine has approved the formation of a new quasi-military detachment labeled the Territorial Volunteers. By definition composed of those unfit for standard military service, the Territorials serve as a reserve garrison force, the final, ragged line of defense when all else is lost.
|
|
|
|
Reforging the Banners
The specter of war has not haunted Kiria for centuries, permitting the once-magnificent Thousand Banners to wither away like flowers come wintertime. When compared with the unyielding unit of a modern professional army, a group of part-time soldiers qualified only by their lineage looks pathetic. Our straits are dire; nevertheless, we must at least attempt to bridge the gap.
|
|
The Embattled Dynasty
|
Raise Rural Resistance
While the ideology of the secessionists is by nature confined mostly to the regions they control, devotion to the Matriarch Superior transcends regional boundaries. Those loyalists caught on the wrong side of the front shall, aided by Vermilion operatives, make the traitors regret occupying every inch of land.
|
|
|
Purge Corrupting Influences
Just as fire can warm a house or cook food, it can devour and destroy should it burn too bright. In such a manner, the Rising Fire has become a raging inferno, some twisting the original precepts of the Way of Fire far beyond anykirin's wildest nightmares. We are drowning in heresy, and to survive, we must jettison the most extreme weights holding us back.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
The Verdant Concurrence
As the Rising Fire has become more and more essential to our war effort, Rising Sun has placed more and more pressure on Autumn Blaze, and in turn, Rain Shine, to grant the Rising Fire more concessions. Verdant, their largest stronghold, will be given full religious independence from the Serene Tendency for the kirin of the west to continue to fight.
|
|
The Rising Fire
|
|
The Chrysanthemum Concession
As the Rising Fire continues to lend the Realm their unwavering support through thick or thin, victory or defeat, their demands become more ambitious and harder to ignore. Autumn Blaze has been forced to expand Verdant's religious autonomy to many other Rising Fire strongholds in the west, as the Serene Tendency's theocratic monopoly crumbles under wartime necessity.
|
|
The Rising Fire
|
|
A Grim Reunion
Surrounded by a swirling maelstrom of death, a spark of hope returns with Applejack, an Equestrian element of harmony and the pony perhaps most responsible for the revolutionary events in recent Kirian history. Such momentous news has even stirred Autumn Blaze from her repose, and it is both the Premier of Kiria and the shattered mare inside who meets with her mentor and friend.
|
|
|
|
Crusaders of Harmony
Drawing upon the generosity of our Equestrian friends, we are able to field two brigades of highly mobile shock troops capable of making offensive breakthroughs on the battlefield. These Equestrian-trained and Equestrian-equipped troops have the potential to turn the tide of the war. We will never forget the internationalist friendship of our pony friends across the ocean.

The Eastern Redoubt
A relatively peripheral region of Kiria, the Maretime Range is sequestered from the areas most directly threatened by the war. Stifled by the Silence, it was a strip of fallow land devoid of industry. Now, guarded by the near-impenetrable Quartz Mountains to the west, the Range must serve as the nucleus of emergency naval production, fortified by the strongest protection on short notice.
|
|
|
Galloping Battle
Unlike our enemies, Vermilion possesses one great advantage: land. We cannot afford to annihilate the entire Kirin population through grueling stationary conflict. As one general put it, "We shall gallop circles around the traitors until they can't tell north from south, and stumble into the sea."
|
|

"Before the battle: gangs, drums, and banners, make manifold to freeze the resolve of your opponent. Then let chaos descend, chase them down: as a rule, stop not your pursuit if you are sure your combatant shall tire herself before you." ~ "The Interrogations of Sorrowed Forsythia" |
|
Resolute Defence
Despite the initial shock, we maintain an advantageous position in most senses compared to the insurgents. The theory prevailing in the high command is that stalemate is a defeat for the opposition. Digging our hooves in is the most surefire way to win this war.

Inquisitor-Confessors
Today, devotion is in short supply. There yet remains one group that remains unfaltering in its faith, however. Those Way of Fire monks trained in the fundamentalist tradition are servants, body and soul, to the will of Concord and the Matriarch Superior. Though unleashing them may be dangerous, Kiria will be able to rest easy knowing that heresy and treason will soon be the faintest of memories.

The Mystics Militant
The most martially talented and supremely dedicated of Kiria's monks, known as the Serene Mystics, swear a magically-binding oath to defend Concord and Her chosen with all they are. Should they betray this oath, it is said, holy flame slowly immolates them from the inside. Whatever the case, their wrath in battle is terrible to behold, and galvanizes our forces.

Temporal Co-Rulership
By Matriarchal Decree from Rain Shine herself, the greatest fears of the Serene Tendency have come to pass.

Develop the Interior
Kiria's western interior, long neglected under the Silence and underdeveloped during the failed Great Gallop Onwards, has always been a comparatively less prosperous region when compared with Greater Providence or the Cradle of Kirinity. But with Providence lost and the Cradle threatened by war, the interior, with its iconoclastic kirin, are what we must make do with.

An entire generation marches to battle, propelled by the eternal, vigorous flame of youth. Thousands will die, thousands of mothers may grieve, and yet some will live.

While pressure may not turn coal into diamonds, it sure has a similar effect on the efforts of our scientists. Whereas the lethargic blanket of the Silence caused innovation to meander to a halt, under the catastrophic pressure of civil war advancements in the field of killing proceeds at breakneck speed. Against all odds, Kiria hurled haphazardly into the modern world, has landed on its hooves.

Show Them the Way
When the heretics brayed their hatred of our Matriarch Superior, the Serene Tendency silenced their words with the utmost efficiency. When the fires of war raged ever closer to Vermilion, devout followers of the Way of Fire were the first to give their lives in defense. All look to Winter Frost, the mare who led Kiria from its darkest hour. The hour of Concord has arrived, and Her Way is glorious indeed!
|
|
|
|
Strong, Stable, Serene
Vermilion's recognition of the Rising Fire was necessitated by the exigencies of war, but the Serene Tendency, led by Winter Frost, has maintained its firm grip on the Way of Fire, successfully protecting the kirin faith against spiritual contamination by Rising Sun's band of quasi-reformed heretics. The old ways have stood the test of time and modernity and have prevailed in Concord's name.
|
|
|
The Ascendant Triumvir
Rising Sun's influence in Vermilion has reached its peak, and the Serene Tendency is on the back hoof. Having shown their loyalty and mettle, Rising Fire has finally taken its rightful place in the halls of power. Rising Sun strides across the Secretariat floor with the same confidence and majesty she has always possessed, but when she passes, even the mystics of the Hierocracy must bend their horns to her.

|
|
|
|
The Twelve Magistracies
Long before the Silence, the offices of the Twelve Magistracies succumbed to corruption, disuse, or obscurity; the Silence obviously precluded such a hierarchy to exist. With this in mind, any serious revival of the Concord-faithful in public service should start with re-introducing these auspicious twelve.

The Retreat through the Institutions
For all her faults, Autumn Blaze has left behind an expeditious system of governance like no other, having served us well in sustaining Kiria when war threatened to tear it apart. Yet it is a double-edged blade, staffed mostly by the RaHP-leaning temporalty. We should watch these institutions closely.
|
|
|
|
Review Autumn's Legacy
Polarising is Autumn's tenure as Premier, for better or for worse, necessitating [KIR.Capital.GetName] to evaluate the consequences of her reforms. For the sake of neutrality, both the Serene Tendency and the RaHP will be in attendance for the official review.
|
|
|
Stand Down the Radicals
Harmonist agitators burned in their contempt for the Way of Fire, if not in words, then in their brazen push for the uninitiated in Concord, the laity, to wield weighty obligations in Her lands. It will be best to redirect those resilient fires in more productive directions, albeit against their will.
|
|
|
|
Meritocracy Above, Democracy Below
In elections, a discreet mind is divorced from a passionate heart, leaving us at the whims of either a Concord-less egoist or a zealous ignoramus. Democracy will be restricted to local village councils to contain the aftermath of error, leaving important matters of state to those who've proven their mental and spiritual capacities beforehoof.
|
|
|
|
Return To Tradition, Concord In Unity
It was the RaHP which signed the Hyacinth Accord, and so it must be the RaHP which repudiates it today as Kiria embarks on a new path of development independent of foreign meddling. The Realm's governance shall no longer be dictated by foreign dogma, but our own traditional culture and values which respects the Way of Fire, venerates the Matriarch Superior and worships Concord.

Benevolent Maternalism

Enshrining individuality by casting down one's parents and our very own Matriarch is a depraved thought. The wayward shall be set straight by mystic-teachers on extensive Kiria-wide tours, reaffirming unquestioning devotion to the Matriarch Superior among them by unassailable lines of reasoning.
|
|
|
Harmony Between Mare and Nature
Per the Third Tenet, a mare must be in peace and harmony with the world and Concord. Today, this means doing away with soulless machines, distant companies, and Concord-defiant pollution. Instead, she must bring her hooves and magic back to working the land with her family and neighbours, sustaining herself by the fruits of her own natural labour.
|
|
|
|
The Root of All Evil
The northern traitors tore the Realm apart by their greed and avarice. Trade will be strictly regulated, monopolies banned, taxation stringently enforced and the privileges of the merchant class curtailed, so that the exploitative pursuit of wealth by petty traders will not bring the Realm to ruin a second time.
|

Land of Pacific Harmony
For their harmonic values, we have nothing but thanks for Equestria, but we must adapt them to kirin dispositions. Only with the Way of Fire as the key, as taught by our mystics, shall we unlock harmony for every kirin.

Familial Exterminations
The northern secession from the Realm had the support of the powerful Bloom, Mallow and Snow clans. Lending their vast resources to the secessionists, these families accrued much political power within Fickle Current's traitor regime, leveraging it to amass even more wealth and influence in turn. But faith in Concord prevailed in the end, and now is the time for justice to be visited upon these turncoats.
|
|
|
|
Serve the Dynasty
The banners' way of life was left to rot under Autumn's premiership. Winter Frost promises them a grand return, a restoration to repay them for a century of humiliation: a truly modern army that the Matriarch can take pride in, like seeing her foals all grown up.
|
|
|
Scholar-Valiants
The rare Scholar-Valiant (five or fewer per generation) is the epitome, the non-divine personification, of the Matriarch's rule: pious in mind and muscle, master of many and every field of study, with the merits and the scars to prove it. A bright future always lies before such a one, so let the Hierocracy pave the way there.
|
|
|
|
The Chiliad Citadels
Kiria's untamed hills and forests of the westlands will only slow down advancing foes; they are already rendered null with the popularisation of aircraft. Our distant kirin do not need to cower, however, for monastery fortresses will be erected across the region, employed as beacons of the Way in the very act of defending it.

Subjugate the Barbarians
The wiles of the world beyond faced no obstacle in corrupting our own kirin; what, then, of how it has seeped into our neighbours, sending them into a frenzy of the future's temptations?

An Early Retirement for the Premier Emeritus
With the errant fire of rampant democracy quenched, the RaHP are nothing but a formality, ideological scouts the Serene Tendency can rely on to help assess the modern world and nothing more, which leaves us with divesting the former premier of whatever power she has left.

Strengthen the Hierocratic Ranks
It is imperative upon Kiria for both meritocracy and flexibility to take hold of the state body, and the Hierocracy is no exception. Through this, the Imperial Premier's impartial eye will quickly lift up the heads of mystics and priestesses who deserve it, who the situation demands, who know propriety indeed.

Army Centesimations
A singular diabolic spark is the mother of violence's conflagration... but this can always and permanently be prevented. Out of a hundred flames in the army, the one that wavers the most—the one that pays heed to the lies of Massicot and Hyacinth—shall be snuffed out in the name of harmony.

A Party of Traitors
The RaHP's hollow cries for co-operation prove their worthlessness, foisting upon us no true harmony but a mocking spectre of it that has culminated in an ever-repeating cycle of violence. The RaHP, therefore, will be banished from the halls of Vermilion, never again to step on sacred ground.

New Blood for a New Era

Revolution of Regions
Our forbearance has extinguished its final wick! Shall all of Kiria clamp their muzzles just to speak a dead language? Lift up every voice, wipe out every censor!

The following will bypass the focus:

Firethorn's Mutiny
Plenty of our would-be compatriots from across the battlefield remain true to their word! They shall not conform to the crumbling devilish tapestry of the Hierocracy, but under Firethorn's command, they shall awaken the rest of our generation!

Strike Down the Banners
Defenceless Realm you are, Kiria! Your banners and your soul-sucking hierarchy shall have their heads cut off! May the rest of kirinity be spared from your machinations!

The following will bypass the focus:

South Kiria Republic
The Realm cannot stamp out liberty's eternal rally! Winter Frost and her clique cannot continue their struggle without falling apart, so we'll be the bigger kirin and extend them our only mercy: a separate peace, a divided Kiria, a long game where liberty shall outlast tyranny!
|
|
|
The Kirin Republic
Our much-suffering neighbours from every quarter ring out to arm liberty's hooves with rifles and souls, but with so many kirin on our side, do we not now represent Kiria? Winter is over and the Frost has melted: the Republic prevails!

Reconcile with the North
The hard-working merchants of the north, once bridled by the Silence, had persisted, bringing in much-needed wealth for a pauperising nation! Let these businesskirin, not the distant priests, back into our economy's good graces! To kirin prosperity!
|

Rally the West
To sow and harvest is a sacred and reverent profession; how can Winter Frost's Hierocrats trample the literal hooves that feed them? Chrysanthemum and its surrounding villages shall be heard, raised up as equals with the the soldier and the entrepreneur!

Post-GGO branch
If the Great Gallop Onward succeeds, Kiria will unlock this focus tree, as well as a separate military focus tree. The nation will truly enter the international stage, creating their own faction for countries in their part of the continent. If you haven't invited Rising Fire to the Plenum before, this will be your second chance to do so, adding two extra focuses to the tree.
While a similar tree is possible to achieve even after a civil war, only the peaceful path will allow you to have Mayflower Bloom elected as a mayor to get an award associated with it. You also get the ability to get an extra state from Sen Kinh. And finally, you get an additional NAKP-themed branch, culminating in a controversial military expedition to Talarayi.
The bottommost focuses may require fulfilling some additional criteria before they become available.
| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects |
|---|---|---|
|
Radiant Prosperity or Vermilion Revival The Grand Gallop Onward has succeeded against all odds. Premier Autumn Blaze has achieved in a few short years a century's worth of industrial and technological progress lost to the Silence. It's time to officially announce the beginning of a new era for a new Kiria: the Era of Radiant Prosperity! or Kiria stood united against the Northern Secession, and defeated the treacherous NAKP to restore the north to the fold. It is time to move on from the scars of the civil war and resume the program of modernisation and liberalisation, guided by the ideals of harmony and justice that the kirin people fought so hard to preserve. |
Modernisation!
We have embarked on one of the most ambitious projects any nation or race of people has ever endeavored to complete: the complete modernisation of our backwards and isolated country within a few short years. We will have to take care that we sever the traditional ties that hold us back with a surgical scalpel and not a bonesaw if we don't want to destroy our culture in the process.
Modernisation!

The Second First Autumnal Premiership
Under our new Constitution, the Imperial Premier will no longer govern at the Matriarch's pleasure. The new office of the Premier of Kiria will be elected by the Morning Secretariat. And after all her Imperial Premiership has endured, there is really only one mare for the job.
|
|
Autumn Blaze
Rain Shine
|
Kirian Consociationalism
The new Kirian political sphere is broken up into incompatible factions loyal to their regional strongholds. By structuring the government around balancing and mediating with these factions, we can ensure cooperation at the expense of traditional majoritarian principles.
|
|
The Party Popularity of United for Harmony, the Non-Aligned Forum, Kiria Awoken or the Right Alliance will never fall below 15%.
The Party Popularity of United for Harmony, the Non-Aligned Forum or Kiria Awoken will never fall below 15%. |
State Undersecretariat for Fire Control
Kiria may have caught up with modernity, but modernity has its issues. Inequalities breed discontent, and discontent is inspiring a streak of nirik attacks. Until we can address these social issues, we need a modern and sophisticated nirik suppression force.
|
|
|
|
PluriJurisdictional Devolution
A new system of Provincial Diets will allow us to increase local autonomy and offer some olive branches to regional radicals. And by reducing the power of the Secretariat, we'll also lower the stakes of the national elections.
|
|
Establishes a Provincial Diet in each of the @KIR Realm of Kiria's [?KIR.num_core_states|*0Y] core states. |
The Constitutional Standard-Bearers
We must protect our new constitution with the same fervour afforded the Matriarch. The Thousand Banners guard against foreign adversaries, but to counter domestic extremism, we need to create a specialized and capable gendarmareie.
|
|
|
|
Keepers of Balance
By guaranteeing the radical parties a certain degree of influence in the Provincial Diets, we can keep tempers soothed and the political situation stable - as long as we keep our promises.
|
|
|
|
Long Live the Matriarch!
The kirin have emerged from the Silence strong and confident, with a sense of national identity and citizenship, but the Matriarch Superior still plays an immense role presiding over the Kirian polity. Under the Constitutional Matriarchate, Rain Shine shall continue to inspire unity and pride among her kirin while entrusting them with their own self-determination and governance.
|
|
|
|
Apprize the Kirian Tael
The kirian tael is in dire need of some discipline. Sharply devaluing it and backing the new value with a gold standard will hurt the poor, but it will also attract investment and, importantly, enable the government to borrow internationally.
|
|
|
|
The RemDev-PlanCom
The Realm Development Planning Commission is a new investment bank, funded by the state, which will work to expand Kiria's industry in line with the government's economic priorities.
|
|
|
A MultiDenominational Confessional State
To overcome the schism in the Way of Fire between the Path of the Rising Fire and the Circle of Serene Tendency, the government will remove all restrictions on dissident sects such as the Rising Fire - are we not all still brothers and sisters under Concord, regardless of the details?
|
|
|
|
The Mystics Magisterial
The Kirian bureaucracy is a mish-mash of religious and temporal organizations accumulated over centuries of successive Matriarchs. Premier Blaze intends to begin the long process of standardizing, streamlining, and secularizing the civil service with a common oath.
|
|
The Confessional Concordat, between the Realm and Harmony Party (Constitution Caucus) and the Circle of Serene Tendency.
|
|
A Dual-Track Judiciary
We must moderate our passion for modernity with due respect for Kiria's age-old traditions and institutions. There will be a phased introduction of secular law courts operating on a legal system mixing Equestrian common law with Griffonian civil code. Trials before priestesses and magistrates under Way of Fire scripture will be retained, and accorded equal and protected status.

|
The Realm Lands Commission
The rapid industrialisation of the Realm requires massive quantities of natural resources as well as land on which to construct new factories and industrial complexes, alongside all the attendant infrastructure to sustain the new economy. The Realm Lands Commission will be given statutory powers to find and acquire land for development and resource extraction.
|
|
|
|
A Homegrown KirCorpn
Kaolin National has rocketed to a dominant position in the Kirian economy, and uniquely among the Realm's largest corporations, it has no major foreign entanglements. That might make it a useful vehicle for the state's sensitive military-industrial development.
|
|
|
|
The 'New Times' Express
Railways are what bind the multitudinous threads of modern civilisation together. To commemorate the beginning of the Vermilion Revival / Radiant Prosperity, the 'New Times' Express Rail Network will be constructed to bring the kirin of the Realm more close to each other than ever before.

Her Divinity's Legations
Kiria's ascension to the world stage requires a network of embassies and consulates in friendly—and not-so-friendly—countries around the world. We must send forth representatives of our new Kiria to establish inter-national friendships and trading ties with fellow harmonic nations as we become a full member of the international community.
|
|
|
|
Kirian National Police
Policing in the Realm had long been the task of a myriad of local, regional, paramilitary, and religious organisations. The complexities of modern society require the formation of a centralised and secular national police agency to fight crime, keep the peace, and protect the kirin.
|
|
|
|
A World-Class Institution
The All-Kiria Collegium has proved its worth as a key engine of Kiria's scientific and technological modernisation. More funding and support must be devoted to the Collegium to make it not merely a national or regional, but global academic institution worthy of the Realm and the Kirian people.
|
|
|
|
The Realm's Resources
The vast Realm contains abundant untapped natural resources left neglected because of the Silence, and Kaolin National has proven itself useful. With new grants of authority, we could use it to overhaul our industry towards resource production in order to ensure Kirian autarky.
|
|
|
|
Land of Harmony
Autumn Blaze has successfully brought Kiria out of the Silence, in the process remoulding the Realm according to her harmonic vision and ideals. The Kiria of today is not only modern and industrial, but democratic, harmonic, and progressive—inalienable characteristics of our new Kiria.
|
|
Increases the number of Provincial Diets[KIRGetMayoralties] controllable by the Realm and Harmony Party by +1.
|
|
Harmonic Liberalism
In the wake of the RaHP's success leading Kiria through the Grand Gallop Onward, new ideological currents have emerged within the party, each advocating for their own imagining of Kiria's future. The most prominent are the Radicals of the Constitutional Caucus, advocating for a secular state and free market liberalism within the political and philosophical framework of harmonic democracy.
|
|
Available as Political Synarchy between Provincial Diet and Mayoralty: The Liberal Platform, between the Realm and Harmony Party (Constitution Caucus - Radical) and the National Association of Kirin Patriots (Snow Clique). The Confessional Concordat will no longer be available as a Political Synarchy.
|
|
Guardian of Zebrica
As a fast-emerging harmonic hegemon in Zebrica, Kiria has a moral responsibility to uphold and protect harmony against those who would seek to destroy it. Zebrica is a divided place full of rival ideologies and powers, and we do not have the luxury of ignoring the world beyond our borders. The Silence is over; Kiria is a part of the world, and thus must play an active part in shaping it.
|
|
Unlocks New Foci.
|
|
Eight Golden Mayoralties
The Eight Great Cities of Kiria are powerhouses of industry, commerce, and political influence, and each have unique needs that are difficult to address at the national level. Expansive autonomy under the new Mayoralty system will allow them to manage their local affairs and further uphold the principles of consociationalism.
|
|
Establishes the Mayoralties of Vermilion, Massicot, Radiance, Rhapsody, Fragrance, Verdant, Sorghum and Chrysanthemum. |
|
The Cityfication Commission
The rapid urbanisation of Kiria's settlements is not restricted to the big cities, but innumerable smaller towns and villages as well. The Cityfication Commission will oversee and regulate these radically-transformative processes, ensuring that they happen in a sustainable and equitable way and that nokirin will slip through the cracks as Kiria reshapes and redefines itself at breakneck pace.
|
|
|
|
The Board of Elections
The creation of a special Board of Elections with the exclusive responsibility of overseeing the almost continuous Kirian election season on a national, provincial, municipal, and local level will ensure that Kirian democratic processes, practices, and norms are protected and upheld to the highest standard.
|
|
|
|
Five Maritime Mayoralties
Five of Kiria's coastal towns have risen to prominence as key ports through which international trade and commerce—key drivers of the Realm's integration into the global economy—flow. Their kirin have begun to clamour for the same rights and privileges of self-government afforded to the Eight Great Cities, and who are we to deny these enterprising kirin their laudable aspirations?

|
Apologise to Rising Sun
Rising Sun and the western kirin loyal to her were excluded from the Plenum at a critical juncture in Kiria's history. That was a mistake, and while it can never be fully fixed, we can at least begin to reconcile with the Rising Fire.
|
|
|
|
Give Us Our Daily Bread
Poverty in Kiria is extensive, exacerbated by the rapid movement of the peasant class to the cities. We must begin to address their needs, even if the process will be slow and expensive.
|
|
|
|
For Land and Labour, Let's Fight Together!
The needs of the urban and rural poor are distinct, but they are united by a common desire: better conditions for the working classes. As such, an alliance is brewing between the three largest left-wing parties in Kiria, unifying their disparate bases into a potent political bloc.
|
|
Available as Political Synarchy between Provincial Diet and Mayoralty: The League for Labour and Liberty, between the Movement for a Modern Kiria (Progress Bloc) and the All-Kiria Union of Farmers and Peasants and the Marksist Workers' Party of Kiria.
|
|
The Flame of Faith
Verdant is a bastion of Kirian faith, and its position at the delta of the Mellifluve allows all of the Realm's religious tendencies to meet here. As such, Verdant has become the heartland of a new political movement meant to unify fervent followers of Concord, regardless of their sect.

The League for Labour and Liberty's efforts to unify the left are bearing fruit - in Sorghum, the beating heart of central Kiria, they are quickly establishing a strong presence and securing the city's influential Diet.

Mayor Mayflower
Mayflower Bloom's quick wit, enduring popularity, and seemingly bottomless compassion and humility have all but guaranteed the electoral success of her party. The Movement for a Modern Kiria has an opportunity to capitalize on her reputation and turn the Radiance Diet and Mayoralty into safe seats.

Rural Self-Defence Syndicates
Our southern frontier against the Zaikirin, the Zeblu, and Roam has been frequently raided over the centuries, and the locals are famous for their militias. Organizing and supporting those militias will bolster this relatively exposed flank.
|
|
|
To Rage is Kirin
Forget not the Fourth Tenet of the Way of Fire! We must embrace the spark Concord has trusted us to carry, and use it to guide us. While we are right to fear the nirik state, we cannot allow that to suppress the boundless energy of our passions. Ours can be a society of raw emotion channeled towards the work of righteousness.

Collective Laissez-Faire
The industrialization of Kiria has created a new industrial working class, and it will not be denied! Let the government protect their right to organize, but otherwise, allow the unions free reign to strike and stand up for the Kirian worker!
|
|
|
Dismiss the Chairkirin
Fickle Current has outlived his usefulness. His inability to compromise with the harmonist mainstream in Kiria is rendering his leadership of the NAKP distinctly unprofitable - and elements within the party are organizing to protect their interests.
|
|
|
The Patriotic Renewal
No longer beholden to Fickle Current's peculiar vision for Kiria, the NAKP must modernize and diversify to survive - and that means campaigning and competiting outside of its traditional strongholds and appealing to a broader base across the Realm.
|
|
|
|
KIRIN Holding Corpn
Northern business interests are increasingly conglomerating into an immense KirCorpn known simply as KIRIN. Its extensive holdings across dozens of industries make it a useful private partner for the Realm's government.
|
|
|
Agitate for Blossom
Blossom was once a bastion of our influence over the Zaikirin city-states, and it has more in common with our Realm than its southern neighbors. We will press the issue of Blossom's status with Sen Kinh and encourage them to respect the region's self-determination.
|

The following will happen when selecting the focus:
{{{1}}} |
|
Changing Tack
The NAKP has something of a bad reputation from Fickle Current's confrontational chairkirinship. And our armed paramilitaries don't exactly give off a friendly image. If we want a future in a harmonic Kiria we need to reassess our priorities.
|
|
|
|
Northern Mariculture
The northern kirin have a long and storied maritime tradition, and their skill at small shipbuilding is unrivaled. Encouraging their art and adopting their designs will serve the Realm's navy well.
|
|
|
The South Sea Venture
Riches and plenty await us in the jungles of Talarayi, if only we have the boldness to seek our fortunes there! With the NAKP's military assets dissolved, the party has the funding to begin a completely new enterprise - the South Sea Venture Company.
|
|
|
|
Benevolent Associations
The nascent Kirian state still faces many teething problems. Funding and support non-governmental Benevolent Associations, run by willing kirin on their own initiative, to provide much-needed services and opportunities which the state is too ill-equipped, overstretched, or inflexible to deliver—to nurture the development of a new Kirian civil society that both compliments the state and holds it accountable.
|
|
|
Teach Them Temperance
Forget not the Fifth Tenet of the Way of Fire! Mutual respect and tolerance, in addition to respect for the rule of law, equal rights, and political inclusivity are essential for Kirian democracy to flourish. Together, we will help each other to resolve our disputes using words, not hooves, so that our differences can be overcome through peaceful dialogue and understanding.

Representation for the Rising Fire
The Rising Fire was barred from formal political representation during the Grand Gallop Onward. Historians will judge Autumn Blaze on her decision to do so. Nevertheless, any possible justification for the Rising Fire's political exclusion and disenfranchisement arising from the exigencies of the 3½ Year Plan have since disappeared. The Rising Fire must be allowed to enter Kirian politics!
|
|
|
The Providence Rangers
The rugged terrain of Northern Kiria west of Fragrance gives rise to especially hardy kirin. Creating local companies of rangers familiar with the terrain would improve the defenses of the Hindian frontier - and help further integrate the northern kirin with the rest of the Realm.
|
|
|
|
Protect Zaikiria
Prior to the Silence, Kiria was an imperial suzerain over its Zaikirian vassals. In the intervening century, as Kiria languished under the Silence, the kirin of Zaikiria took their destiny into their own hooves and forged a future for themselves independent of Vermilion. In our dealings with our Zaikirian neighbours today, we must respect and protect their self-determination and nationhood.
|
|
|
|
Zebridean Naval Bases
The Zebrides are critical to control of trade in the South Sea - as their Feathisian colonizers recognized. As the preeminent regional trade power, we should extend the offer to assist in the islands' development and secure our own access to the critical sea-lanes they guard.
|
|
|
Kirin Volitionary Corps
It was Equestria's harmony that lifted the Silence, and now Equestria's harmony is under assault! The Matriarch Superior Herself has pressed the Secretariat for the decree that the Realm will stand alongside Fluttershy and Applejack, our first and oldest friends.
|
|
Forms and Deploys Three (3) Brigades of the Kirin Volitionary Corps: - Volitionary 1st Corps 'Concordant Solidarity', led by General Bright Burn - Volitionary 2nd Corps 'Hyacinth Blossom' - Volitionary 3rd Corps 'Autumn's Fury'
Kirin Volitionary Corps
|
|
Hundred Beacons Accord
Being secure in harmony at home is not enough when harmony is threatened across the world. We will invite the harmonist nations of Zebrica to a grand alliance and join to stop the march of cruel tyranny. Let a hundred shining beacons warn the enemies of peace that they will be met with sacred fire.
|
|
|
Endowment for Harmony and Prosperity
Dictators and despots are unafraid to spill oceans of blood for their conquests. For harmony to stand strong, the Realm and her allies must pool their knowledge to maintain the technological advantage.
|
|
All new Hundred Beacons Accord faction members will automatically join the Endowment for Harmony and Prosperity research sharing group upon joining the faction.
|
|
Inviolable Sovereignty
Conquerors are empowered by the promise of easy conquests. But by extending our protection to nations under threat across Zebrica, we can make would-be warlords think twice.
|
|
Unlocks
|
Post-civil war branch
If Rising Fire was invited in the Plenum and you win the civil war, you will get back to the tree that mostly resembles the regular post-GGO tree. Certain branches as well as the entire military sub-tree will become unavailable. In exchange, you get a small branch in the upper-left corner, with focuses listed below.
| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects |
|---|---|---|
|
The Conciliation Bureau
The aftermath of the War of the Northern Succession must be addressed, not merely in terms of rebuilding what was bombed but in restoring the trust that was lost. To this end, Rain Shine has decreed the establishment of the State Undersecretariat For Northern Conciliation to begin the long task of bringing the northern kirin back into the fold.
|
|
|
|
Confiscate Sycee Assets
Sycee was a hotbed of the diaspora's foreign contacts and industrial development. By nationalizing those assets for the reconstruction of the Realm, they may atone for their rebellion.
|
|
|
|
Process Secessionist POWs
Tens of thousands of kirin loyal to the NAKP surrendered or were captured during the war. Standardizing a process for their humane treatment, demobilization, and release will go a long way to healing the Realm's scars.
|
|
|
|
Restore Civilian Rule
The northern kirin cannot remain occupied enemies forever. We must begin the process of re-integrating Greater Providence's prefectures into the civilian government - one at a time, if necessary.
|
|
|
|
Sort Out the Collegium
The All-Kiria Collegium is in shambles after the war, with many of its academics having loyalties to the NAKP and its operations disrupted by the conflict. Vetting its staff and restoring its educational mission must be a top priority.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Enfranchise North Kiria
The North is not exempt from the need for autonomy that has been granted to the rest of Kiria. Let us grant them the privileges the rest of the Realm enjoys and ease them into the notion of our new consociational Kiria.
|
|
Increases the number of Provincial Diets[KIRGetMayoralties] controllable by All Parties by +1.
|
|
Aid and Investment
The war has left the North's industry ravaged, and as an industrial heartland of the Realm, this is a hobble we cannot afford. We will not only reconstruct the North's factories, we will invest in their future as a powerhouse of the nation, now that they are part of it once again.
|
|
|
|
Heal the Scars of War
The Realm was broken, but it has been reborn by fire. The scars will not fade within our lifetimes, but we owe it to our children not just to restore but to continue striving forward, that they might inherit a Realm more peaceful and prosperous than we have.
