Rapid Industrialisation
Our nation is a poor backwater compared to our neighbours. Our ponies live in poverty and work long hours just to survive. The Taoiseach has come up with an ambitious plan to industrialise the country, but many of the clanns and especially the monks oppose these ideas, since they will break with tradition.

Call for Reform
Some would consider our nation a poor backwater compared to our neighbours. But we are rich in tradition and happier for it. Our ponies live in poverty and work long hours just to survive. Although the Taoiseach has grand ambitions to improve the standard of living, she must restrain herself to ensure that we stay true to what is dear to us.

Invite Wittenland School Teachers
Wittenland is a beacon of learning and science. Their Unicorns might be a tad decadent, but they make up for it in intelligence. Who better to teach the ponies of our tribes things like reading and mathematics? Some traditionalists think that the ponies should stay and work the land or be taught the ancient ways by the monks, but we cannot stay in the past forever.
|
||
Land Reforms
The way land is distributed between Clanns and the way the Commons Lands are distributed is based on ancient verbal agreements and memory. This often leads to disagreements over who owns what, which in turn leads to good land staying unused. By sending fair surveyors to settle land disputes and to write down who owns what, we will finally settle the issue of land.
|
||
Agricultural Reforms
By using modern farming techniques we can ensure all our ponies have enough food to eat all year round, as well as freeing up valuable time from working the fields. Pònaidhean fashion products are sought after luxury products in the Riverlands, produced locally by our farmers. With more food and more local industry, we can free up more of our own industry for other projects.
|
||
Long Term Economic Planning
Planning short term is sure to lead to disaster. We must plan far into the future to ensure that we build the best society we can. Now that we can ensure food security, we can start planning bigger projects more easily. We must make sure, however, that our projects don't thread over ancient sacred sites.

Develop an Arms Industry
The big outside world is not only full of the wonders of technology. We have learned about the many other nations who desire to rule large domains and who will not stop until the last free peoples on Equus are enslaved. We simply must develop our local smithies and armouries into true arms factories, if we are to have a chance in the world.
|
||
The Wealth of the Mountains
The towering peaks of our beautiful country have laid untouched for so long. Many monks make these places their residence and many legends abound about our mountains. However, legends and monasteries won't help us. We must blow open these ancient vaults and seize the wealth that is stored there for ourselves!
|
||
| ||
Reform the Monastic Schools
The Anam-Teine Monks have long provided education to our nation's young. We should encourage all ponies to learn from them. There is still much to be learned from our past and by working together with the Monasteries to make education more accessible, we will finally be able to tackle the burden of illiteracy.
|
||
| ||
Reach Out to the Lost Tribes
We should include everypony in our efforts to modernise. If we do it with respect and patience, we will be able to convince even the far-flung stubborn pony tribes of our good intentions. Let us despatch emissaries and monks to talk to the Triaths and address their clann's issues.
|
||
Drag Them into the Future
There are those who still cling to the own ways. We must show them that the path to the future is the only correct path for our survival. Those stubborn countryside ponies must be taught the modern ways, even if they protest. Let us rid of archaic traditions and privileges and leave our tribal past behind.
|
||
The Prìomh Chomhairle has long served us well, but the constant bickering between Triaths and Toisiches leads to little being done. More power must be given to the Taoiseach to ensure that our petty differences do not get in the way of progress.
| ||
A New Chomhairle
The Prìomh Chomhairle has long served us well, but it must be reformed to allow it to become a more inclusive and meaningful form of government, fit for the modern age. We will change representation based on democratic vote, instead of tribal allegiance, which will allow the ponies themselves to have a say in government!
|
||

The Secrets of Anam-Teine
The ancient magic of Pònaidhean's monasteries, Anam-Teine, holds many secrets. One of these is the ritual to summon an Anamarm or soul weapon. By letting our monks study the ancient lore of magic, they will be able to enhance their magic, making our army even more formidable.
|
| |
Trade with the Breezies
The Breezies live in magical realm parallel to ours, home to a never-ending amount of pure magic crystals. We should strike a trade deal for these crystals. We will send our most quick-witted speakers to negotiate, since the Breezies sometimes delight in trickery and we don't want anypony to accidentally sell their firstborn!
|
||
| ||
An Anamarm–or Soul Weapon–is a physical representation of a pony's soul used to defend themselves and others from harm. Learning how to harness your Anamara is a rite of passage for hopeful Anam-Teine monks. We should ensure that this skill is taught to all our warriors.
| ||
| ||
Integrate the Tribal Levies
We must integrate our tribal levies, regiments and units into the national army. If we are to make sure everypony can join the army, there is much to standardise. Uniforms, standards, weapons, equipment and food rations. For some tribes, the entire chain of command needs to be overhauled, or even constructed from nothing!

The Nimbusian War Academy
We will contact the ponies of Nimbusia once more and ask them to construct an academy in Dail Mhòr. There, our hopeful officers will be thought the classic stories of Nimbusian generals and the ways of strategy. Spirits knows we will need many new generals if we are to expand our armies, so these studies will be of great use to us!
|
| |
Pegasi Assault Groups
We have always preferred to fight on the Earth and have never really considered the use of our winged soldiers. But if we are to fight the griffons effectively, we must utilise the ponies that can go hoof to claw with the birds. Luckily, our Nimbusian allies know a thing or two about aerial warfare.
|
| |
Adopt Foreign Doctrines
Large conflicts call for doctrines that are made for the scope of mass war. Our doctrines were made for skirmishes or battles with demons, but when the enemy is another nation, these tactics will have to go. Let us study the doctrines of our friends and find a suitable one to implement for Pònaidhean.
|
||
Army Motorisation
Although our ponies are fast and manoeuvrable, it is hard to fight after having marched the entire day. If we use trucks in our army instead, we will be able to position our troops where it is necessary. Of course these trucks might not be that useful in our mountainous homeland, but we were hoping on not fighting there anyway.
|
| |
Armoured Warfare
The latest wonders of technological progress have produced oil-powered vehicles. Some nations were quick to repurpose these marvels for battlefield-use by armouring them, creating the tank. Although these things are not pretty and extremely loud, perhaps we could still make use of them.

Submerge our Ships
Common wisdom says that a ship which is underwater is having a bad time. However, some of our most ingenious engineers have come up with the idea for a vessel which can submerge and surface at will. This novel idea will surprise our enemies, who will never see these submarines coming!
