---|---|---|
Organise the Beak Mining Company
The Beak Mountains are rich with minerals, minerals necessary to industrialise our nation. While the Beak Mountains have a number of smaller private owned mines, they hardly have the capacity to supply our fledgling nation. If we wish to see any progress, we must form a central mining company that shall carefully and in a somewhat organised manner, extract the resources found on the mountainside.
|
||
Southern Railways
Communication lines between the capital and the rest of the country are rather strained. The old courier networks around the country are no longer efficient or cost effective. So we have decided to take a page out of Equestria's book and construct a railway network stretching from the Beak Mountains to Weter.

Goldfeather's Talon Gunworks
We have recently been contacted by one Skeiron Goldfeather, one of the richest aristocrats from the old country, whom up until recently was heavily involved in the Equestrian arms trade. However due to issues back home, Goldfeather has decided that change of scenery is in order and has offered the services of both himself, and his "Talon Gunworks".
|
| |
Triton Gunworks
With the continued economic growth in the North we have managed to attract several industrialists from back home. One such individual is Triton Blackpeak, who was recently exiled from Griffonstone due to reasons he isn't willing to disclose. Never the less Triton has offered to open up several new arms factories in the frigid north.
|
||
Fund the Weter University
For a long time most griffons here in the colonies have had to go back to the Griffonia for any higher form of education, but with the continued unrest back home that is simply no longer an option. If we wish to insure the future of our nation, we will need an educated elite; so to that end we have decided to retrofit several old administrative buildings in Weter into a new university.
|
| |
|
||
Weter Immigration Act
Our country has never been particularly populous, and as our economy grows, that slowly becoming one of our biggest problems. In an attempt to fix this issue, the Governor has put forward a bill that would allow any griffon born in Griffonia proper immigration rights to our country.
|
Give us the tired, the poor, the huddled griffons yearning to breathe free, and the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to us, for we lift our wings beside the golden door!

We've managed to convince the citizens to stop lynching people they disagree with, but the lakes are still very much on fire.

A New Imperator
Following the death of Governor Teafeather, Erwin Highhill was the very first to jump in and secure order in Nova Griffonia. His actions were concrete and determined, just as he was. He lead us through battles and hardship, and we came out on top. Long may he live, our new Imperator Highhill!
|
| |
Wildcard
While many advocate to maintain a authoritarian government, and argue who should lead said government, it would instead be better to relax our grip on the citizens, and let them act freely. Skeiron Goldfeather, one of the richest Griffons in Nova Griffonia and our leading economic advisor, is a true captain of Nova Griffonian industry, and he would be more than willing to lead this new government.
|
| |
Privatized Education System
The schools of the nation are now under the control of private investors and companies. With their funding, schools are becoming more of an advertisement for said investors, rather than actual education.
| ||
Recreational Nuclear Weapons
While some people might see it as dangerous, allowing nuclear weapons to be built, bought and maintained by private investors and companies will only encourage further competition in the free market, AND it will deter foreign forces, as well. Let's just hope nobody actually presses the red button...
|
| |
| ||
| ||
Private Armies
A national army is nonsense. A state cannot simply force citizens into service like it has in the past. Instead, companies and other influential figures shall be allowed to raise their own private armies, so long as they can pay for the maintenance of course. What they actually do with this army is, obviously, up to them. But that's not really our problem.
|
Private Armies
The national army has largely been abolished, and in its place stand plentiful of private armies, who compete with one another in domestic affairs. Local skirmishes between these armies are seen as reasonable in order to further one's influence.
Private Military Corporations
Talon Gunworks Inc. and its subsidiaries will fight for anyone - as long as they are paid.
| |
The March of the Falcons
Reyhard Ironclaw and his Party of Griffon Interests (FfIfG for short) have been on the radar of the government for a long time now. They are well-known radicals who wish to further the interests and well-being of griffons and griffons only, while ruthlessly exploiting other races. And now, it seems they might finally take power by force.
|
| |
Falcons of Griffonstone
Founded in 998 by Ironclaw himself the Falcons are considered the militant arm of the FfIfG (Party of Griffon Interests), they are seen as the vanguard of Ironclaw's new world order.
| ||
Establish Labour Camps
By establishing labour camps, we can swiftly remove undesirables, such as traitors and political enemies, from our society. They shall be put to work under extreme conditions. They will either crumble and succumb to this never ending labour, or they will be dealt with accordingly if they refuse to commit to this labour.
|
||
| ||
Democracy for the Griffons
Highhill's coup and the following period under the military junta had effectively silenced any sign of democracy in the country, and the people are now eager to regain their voice in politics. We shall give them this voice, though obviously the elections will have no real impact, and will have a 'predicted outcome'.
|
||
| ||
The following will bypass the focus:
|
||
The Haukland Plan
With full control over the Hauklands, our plan can commence. The labour camps on Nova Griffonian soil were not enough, and we must deport these undesirables to the far-away isles of the Hauklands. There, they shall be worked to death, never to return to our glorious and pure country.
|
||
| ||
The following will bypass the focus:
|
| |
|
||
| ||
| ||
Tax Breaks
To properly kick our economy into gear, and to make sure that we will soon have a flourishing consumer market, we will initiate a large number of tax breaks. Both to lure people here with a support of the promised land, but also to strengthen confidence in the economy and in our own mandate.
|
||
|
| |
| ||
| ||
Linguistic Pluralism
Nova Griffonia is a nation built on immigrants. Cloudburians, Aquileians, Herzlanders, all have immigrated here to create themselves a better life. While a hybrid of Equestrian and many, many languages has emerged, we will go the step further and accept the many languages spoken here.
|
||
| ||
Anti-Monopoly Legislature
Too much of the economy is stuck in grand monopolies that are more concerned with quashing any challengers than providing quality service, and this will not stand. These monopolies shall be broken up and laws hall be enacted to make sure that no single entity can choke the market.
|
||
Old Believer Work Ethic
While marginalized in Griffonia, the Old Believers have entrenched themselves well here in the new world. Instead of continuing the policy of ignoring them, we should instead look to them and hold up some of the things they do as examples for all to follow. Whether or not they like archons is irrelevant to us but their appreciation for dilligence and honest labor is not.
|
||
Support The Homesteaders
How many hundreds and indeed thousands have bravely set forth into these cold lands to build their homes and carve out a life for themselves? The homesteaders have done so much to prepare the way for further development of the nation, and with the laws that are working their way through the council at the moment they will finally earn the recognition they deserve.
|
Across the land, Homesteaders are the first little light of civilization in the wilderness, and efforts have been made to relieve them in their challenges.
| |
|
| |
| ||
| ||
Arrest Ironclaw
Highhill was a threat to democracy, and we could only deal with it when he actually struck. We cannot show the Falcons that kind of leniency, for that would end in death and destruction. Thankfully, those thugs are held together by their leader, and the secret police have enough dirt on Ironclaw to put him away for a long time.
|
||
Judicial Reforms
Too many in our nation lack proper access to justice, be it through old imperial laws that were dragged along when we arrived, exceptions for various minorities or what have you. It's time to do some proper spring cleaning in our judicial system as well, so that the law truly will be the same for all.
|
||
The Nashanal Minoriti Administratyon
It is, when you think about it, absurd how so many bleat about how griffons tamed these empty lands. They were not empty at all! Yaks, Penguins, Polar Bears and Ponies all lived here when we arrived, and in too many cases their particular interests have not been given due consideration. The National Minority Administration will be tasked with rectifying this.
|
||
Mass Urbanisation
Too many of our griffons in the inlands are stuck in small frontier villages, and in order to kickstart the economic growth of the Kingsmere as well as the southern areas, we are going to heavily invest in the local urban centres to ensure that the reach of the government will not be stuck just at the coasts. All of Nova Griffonia shall prosper!
|
| |
| ||
Efntlekhe Verk Prajex
In part in order to rally the nation and provide work for the unemployed and in part to strengthen the economy, a grand public works project will be undertaken. The Nova Griffonian infrastructure is more or less nonexistent in large parts of the nation, and during the coming year we will focus all efforts on building up this network.
|
The nation's infrastructure is being expanded at a rapid rate, with the goal of connecting all of Nova Griffonia from east to west.
| |
The FfNGSP Mandate
Without blood in the streets and without all the horrors that civil war would cause, the FfNGSP have managed to sway the people to their side. We put our trust in the system, and it did not disappoint us. Now - at last - we can start transforming Nova Griffonia into a socialist example for the world.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Outlaw The Falcons
The Falcons are a one threat beyond all others to Nova Griffonia's future, and we must deal with them posthaste. The Liberals will cry "tyranny", but if tyranny are murderous fascists being locked away to never hurt anygriff else again, then it is the best version of tyranny imaginable.
|
||
| ||
| ||
Nova Griffonian Exceptionalism
This nation built itself where there was nigh nothing, and though the old empire from which it was born fell apart, it has always prevailed. We are not merely distant colonists to some uncaring emperor, we are the best sides of Griffonia and Equus brought together in on nation, and we are proud of this!
|
||
Niukultur Movement
Among the species of our nations there are many ideals and cultures. There is much to laud about all of them, but also much to criticize. In order to bring the nation together we should not cling to the archaic ways, but instead seek unity in a new, common Nova Griffonian culture which neither automatically excludes nor elevates anycreature.
|
||
Mass Nationalisation
Too many industries are in the claws of capitalists, and most of them are anything but happy with our triumphs. While we could rally for violent a seizure of the means of production, most of them will still be amenable to peaceful nationalization. We will pay enough, and unless a luxurious budget for top hats and bespoke suits is mandatory, they won't need to fear starvation.
|
|
|
Worker Self-Managment
With the means of production under the control of the people, we can start implementing a new form of labour management in the factories. Gone will be the days of aloof bosses showing up, barking orders and then going back to their offices: now those who know what they are doing will be the ones to manage the industries.
|
||
Planned Townships
There are endless expanses of land out there, and yet our population is overwhelmingly concentrated at the coastlines in crammed cities that have grown up over time. As we begin expanding our towns and cities we have a great opportunity to plan them thoroughly, both to make them more efficient and make them feel like true communities.
|
||
Create The Northern Bloc
The world is getting more and more dangerous, and Nova Griffonia sits in the position of being one of the stronger forces in its little corner of the world. We cannot face all the dangers ahead alone though, and neither can our neighbors. That is why it has been proposed that we form an alliance for our mutual security.
|
| |
Bring Order to the Griffon Frontier
The Frontier has existed for many years now, it is a sparsely populated underdeveloped 'nation' run by bandits and thieves. Virgil needs to be removed from power, the lands of the frontier need to be brought back into civilised society and integrated into our nation.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Invite the Penguins to the NRB
Pingland is one of our closest geographical neighbours, they could also be one of our closest allies. We should invite them to the Northern Bloc to start building a mutually beneficial relationship and protect their sovereignty. Shaking talon to wing, we can forge an agreement that will make the world a better place. Let us hope they agree to it.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Invite the Polar Bears to the NRB
The polar bears to the west of us, the isolationist bears should be able to see what we have to offer from this proposal. We should invite them to the Northern Bloc to start building a mutually beneficial relationship and protect their sovereignty. Paw to talon, we will be able to stand united against the aggressors that look onto us with greed. Let us hope they agree to it.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Invite Jaki-Clan to the NRB
Jaki-Clan lies west of us, standing against the aggressors that surround them. We should invite them to the Northern Bloc to start building a mutually beneficial relationship and protect their sovereignty. Hoof to talon, the agreement that we reach should allow for a brighter future for both peoples. Let us hope they agree to it.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Invite Yakyakistan to the NRB
Yakyakistan lies west of our nation, bordering the changelings and the lands of ponies, they stand vulnerable to their aggressors. We should invite them to the Northern Bloc to start building a mutually beneficial relationship and protect their sovereignty. Hoof to talon, the griffons and yaks can finally come to terms with their differences. Let us hope they agree to it.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Support for Our Allies
We have now established the Northern Bloc, a political union that should stand the test of time. We must look to our allies now, and negotiate future terms and treaties with our political partners. These treaties should strengthen the ties that bind our new political alliance.
|
|
Nova Griffonian Investments
|
Joint Government Initiative
We need to look within before we reach out. The leading states in the Northern Bloc need to consolidate themselves and that their governments is running efficiently. This proposed joint court treaty will give new powers to member nations to aid in the continued functionality of their governments.
|
| |
Combined Military Programmes
The Northern Bloc needs a proper military to begin defending the values of democracy and the rights of it's citizens. We should set up a military exchange between the nations, whilst not a jovial exchange of war-stories, this presents an opportunity to share military experience between nations. Exchange soldiers from each country will be able to allow each country to bolster their forces.
|
| |
Open Border Proposal
The next sensible step for us to take as a modern democratic union, is to open up our borders to each other and allow our citizens to move freely between our nations. Each and every citizen should have the same rights in the country that they move to, provided they follow the laws of the country they are in.
|
The Open Border Act
| |
NRB Technological Committee
The nations of the Northern Bloc stand to gain from a mutual putting together the greatest minds they have. There, they will come up with innovations that benefit all member states, and further strengthen the stability of the union. Not one nation will reap the rewards of technological breakthroughs, as they are a right to all people.
|
| |
Collaborative Research Effort
Establishing the NRBTC was a massive success. However to further improve our nations, we must all put equal effort into these scientific pursuits. Northern Bloc law will mandate how much of a country's resources will go into the pursuit of technological advances. This treaty will benefit us all in the long run.
|
| |
Collaborative Industrial Effort
The Northern Bloc lacks significant industrial development. Drafts of an international construction plan have been put forth and approved by the heads of all member states. Civilian sector industrial capacity will be increased across all countries involved with this effort.
|
| |
NRB Joint Air-force Initiative
The Northern Bloc must look to the air. Whilst our union may be strong, our attention to the skies is wavering. Across the nations of the NRB, we find our capacity to send warplanes into the air lacking. We will institute news plans to construct airfields across the Bloc.
|
||
Oil Trade Negotiations
The Northern Bloc seeks to end one of its issues, the concern over oil demand and availability. Each nation shall construct a refinery to handle the processing of crude oil in their borders. With these built, we shall be able to build a larger army to defend our political union.
|
||
|
| |
Guardians Of The Free World
Due to our remote location from the central powers of the world, whatever threat that might come our way will have stepped over the ruins of many other sovereign nations first. In order to safeguard Nova Griffonia, we must understand and commit to the fact that liberty does not know borders, nor does freedom cease to be worth fighting for under a different flag.
|
|
Guardians Of The Free World
It matters not where in the world: Nova Griffonia is proud to call the democratic and free nations of the world their friends, and they will shield their friends by force of arms if needed.
|
United in Diversity, Nova Griffonia stands as a beacon of liberty and justice throughout the world.
One and Indivisible, Nova Griffonia stands as a beacon of liberty and justice throughout the world.

Nurture The Republican Dream
Do you see it in the distance? On those far-away shores a banner still flies, one that could have died in 979. The Republican Dream still lingers, rising from its slumber as it prepares to once again do battle with the emperors that one day may well demand our allegiance again. Their dream is ours, and we should make that clear to the world.
|
|
|
Material Aid
Words and praise are all well and good but they will not win the battle that is to come and Cloudbury is a poor substitute for the industrial might of the Herzland. That is why we shall make sure the Republican armies are properly geared for war. Equestria can settle for praise if they should choose so, Nova Griffonia deals in concrete material.
|
|
|
The Nova Griffonian Volunteer Corps
If the Republic is to survive, it will survive through the sacrifices of many brave griffons, and Nova Griffonia is not lacking in bravery. We shall not sit here comfortably on Equus while the Republicans face the wrath of the Empire head on, but instead we shall rally everygriff willing to fight for democracy, arm them and send them to Griffonia.
|
|
|
The Arsenal Of Democracy
We have no illusions of being equal to the Empire industrially, but by Boreas we shall try to be it all the same. Our factories will roar day and night to churn out the bombs, guns and tanks needed to make sure that the Republicans never lack for tools to carry on their struggle.
|
|
|
Decry The Empire
Our old overlord is a tyrant by its very nature, and for all the time that we were its subject we were not a province to be respected, but a place for resources and exploitation. Our course is already set for collision, and thus we may as well let the empire know that Nova Griffonia will never, never, never bow!

The following will bypass the focus:
|
| |
Logistics Support
With the kind of harsh conditions and rugged terrain that is all too common in our country we have been forced to sharpen our skills when it comes to logistics and reconnaissance. These skills are not inconsiderable at this point, and several volunteers among our rangers and scouts have all but pleaded with us to be allowed to go to Griffonia and share this knowledge with the republicans.
|
|
|
Economic Aid
The Griffonian Republicans may be heroes fighting for a good cause, but they are soldiers, not economists, and their economy is not where it could be. The sinews of war are made from infinite money, and Nova Griffonia has the know-how and resources to boost the Republican economy as well.
|
|
|
All In
Do we truly think that the empire will not want to reclaim its old vanity project on Equus? Do we think that the aid we already have given the republic will be ignored? Of course not, and therefore we cannot afford half-measures. The Republic's economy is Nova Griffonia's economy, and we can worry about the debt later!
|
|
|
The Nova Griffonian Army
Since our independence nearly thirty years ago, our army has been comprised mostly of local militias following elected leaders. While this has done wonders for morale, it is proving itself to be a bigger and bigger issue as our military operations grow in both complexity and size. No matter the solution, this issue must be fixed and it must be fixed soon.
|
||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
Create the Military Research Department
As a country located on Equus, we need to compete in terms of military research with countries miles ahead in technology compared to old Griffonia. We need military technology which can compete with the changelings and equestrians. This won't be an easy task, but with determination and endurance we shall prevail!
|
| |
Radio Implementation
The world rapidly changes around us. We have access to things we thought to be magic and witchcraft just a few decades ago. One of these things is the radio. This ground-breaking piece of technology can vastly improve communication all across the Army. We should implement it immediately.
|
| |
Adopt the Nebelwerfer
Our old overlords from Griffenheim have developed a new rocket launcher - the "Nebelwerfer". They wanted to keep their project a total secret. However, during the final phase of development one of the scientists betrayed the Empire and escaped. And so it happens that there is one particular country which is always keen to give asylum to all imperial exiles...
|
| |
Import Changeling Panzers
Recently our government received an interesting proposal from the changeling government. They offer to sell some of their older panzer models for a surprisingly low price. These tanks will be an excellent base for future development of armoured vehicles. Send a telegraph to Vesalipolis at once!
|
| |
Thicker Plating
We managed to learn a lot from the field tests conducted on the panzers provided by the changelings. If implemented correctly, these metal monsters can wreak havoc on the battlefields. However, anti-tank guns are being developed in tandem with the tanks. If we are to keep an edge over enemy infantry, we need to produce tanks with thicker plates and bigger guns.
|
| |
Our Own Magical Rifles
Equestrian scientists from the Luna Nova Academy recently come to a stunning discovery. It turns out that the magical energy from the purple crystals often found in the mountains can be used in weaponry! This is an opportunity we cannot miss. Nova Griffonia will produce its own magical rifles.
|
| |
Standardise Rifle Models
After our separation from the Empire we were forced to import many differently designed rifle models from abroad. This caused logistical and production problems. In order to fix these issues we need analyse the current situation and choose one common rifle model for the entire army.
|
| |
| ||
Support Squad Implementation
Recent military conflicts such as the Battle of Canterlot in 1002 showed us that in order to succeed, regular infantry needs to be supported by smaller units of soldiers trained for specific tasks. Intelligence reports say that other armies are already adding these companies to their divisions. Why shouldn't we?
|
| |
| ||
| ||
Reform the General Staff
The army's General Staff is comprised mostly of old veterans of the countless wars which plagued Griffonia in the 970s. Although the old guard's skill and experience cannot be questioned, we should allow younger officers to put their creative plans and strategies to the test. We cannot be stuck in the 10th century forever.
|
||
Create the Nova Griffonian Ranger Corps
Nova Griffonia is a vast country - forests and mountains often stretch for hundreds of kilometers. In order to patrol this wilderness more efficiently we should establish a new military force - The Nova Griffonian Ranger Corps. Claw-picked from the best units, the Rangers will specialise in reconnaissance, survival and combat in difficult terrain
|
||
Standing On the Back Of Giants
Northern Nova Griffonia is almost entirely comprised of mountain ranges. Our army needs to excel at fighting in this type of terrain. This will require special high-altitude flying lessons, as well as specialised lightweight equipment for easy manoeuvres in a three-dimensional combat environment.
|
Mountain: Attack: +5% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Marines: Mountain: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Paratroopers: Mountain: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10% Knights: Mountain: Attack: +10% Defence: +10% Movement: +10%
| |
Standardised Officer Training
Ever since Nova Griffonia became independent the general skill and quality of our officer corps is all over the place. Although we are lucky to have some experienced exiles from Griffonia, most of the officers are young griffons from local militia units - with often little to no training at all. This is why we need to make efforts to put officer training standards on a higher level.

Bomb Them To Tartarus
The only way to truly break an enemy is to break their will, break their morale and ruin their spirit. To hear the enemy planes bombing you to Tartarus as the soldiers rush at you, feeling the shrapnel go through your skull and break your bones. This is the warfare of the future.
|
| |
Control The Skies
In combined arms warfare it is just as important to control the air as it is to control the ground, aerial support for the ground army paves the way for them to push into the enemy lines, while breaking enemy pushes with aerial bombardment and close air support. This is the warfare of the future.
|
| |
Operational Integrity
Combining the griffon, the tank and the plane. We must train our troops and drill into them a cooperation between branches that they will never forget. To defeat our ever improving opponents we ourselves must improve and keep to the times, get ahead of the curve and defeat them. This is the warfare of the future.
|
| |
Strategic Bombing
We could easily waste thousands of bombs destroying every inch of our enemies, breaking their homes, workplaces and stores. But this is only a waste of potential. Bombing specific industrial sectors, fortifications and roads, combined with aerial support for our army will make the enemy buckle under our pressure.
|
||
Jet Experiments
Yet all know that in flight, speed is key. Reaching our enemies shores, bombarding their industries, shooting down their fighters. For this we will need new technology, which outpaces our enemies in leaps and bounds. Jet technology is strapping a rocket to a plane and hoping it doesn't explode. Can't be that complicated, can it?
|
| |
The Skyhawks Elite
We can invade our enemies through land, through the seas or now as the scientists tell us. Through the air! Giving our griffons parachutes and having them jump off of transport planes. Landing in enemy territory, taking their airfields and forts, striking them from behind before they even know what hit them.
|
| |
The Kings of The Skies
The griffon has been the king of the sky for as long as the world can remember and now we have reasserted our position as the kings of the sky. This time, however, with the help of technology. We have become a great aerial power that will find no match against our enemies. Truly, we have done a good job here.
