|---|---|---|
Care for the Peasants
Most of our griffons work in agriculture. Most of them live under the reign of feudal lords, often in bad conditions. If we are to pull our country out of the technological and economic slump it is in, we need to start caring for the peasants.
|
 Peasant Lives Matter
We have started caring for the peasants. It cost something, but at least they won't have to live in mud hovels anymore.
| |
New Farming Techniques
Griffons aren't made for farming fields. To do it effectively, we need tools. By investing in teaching our peasants proper farming techniques and procuring them modern tools, we can ensure a better life for all of them. It will take time and we will have to dig deep into the Prince's purse to fund the reform.
|
|
Better Farming Tools
We are investing into better farming tools and techniques. It is proving to be an expensive endeavor, but it is widely supported by the commoners.
|
Free the Peasants
We must free the peasants from their ancient servitude to the noble lords. They are worth no less than the rest of us. A modern state relies on citizens with rights and education. Serfdom will have to go if we are to modernise our country. Hopefully this will put an end to the peasant's protests that destabilise the country.
|
|
|
Enforce Serfdom
These meddlesome peasants seem too dumb to even understand the basic premise of our culture. The nobility care for and protect the peasants, who in turn feed the country. Very well, if the serfs do not want to listen, they will have to learn by force that the serfs belong on their turf.
|
|
|
Time is Running Out
We have an opportunity now, at the start of the Prince's reign, to actually implement reforms. First of all, we need to deal with the problems of a couple of stubborn nobles. Lord Drak, Lord Matton and Lord Rosefeather.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Approach Drak
Lord Marven Drak controls a lot of fiefs from which most of the knights and levies of the realm come from. Lately we have been noticing that recruits don't reach the army anymore. Although the Lord denies it, the Prince knows that he has his eyes on Princess Mira, even though she is way younger than him. We can approach him, or find another way.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Drak's Marriage
We have agreed to offer Princess Mira as tribute to Drak. Now we have to plan the wedding. It will not be a fun affair for our family, although Drak is apparently looking forward to it.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Resolve the Situation in Cessabit
It seems that Lord Matton's peasants in Cessabit are having a bad harvest and that's why the Lord is unable to pay taxes. Aditionally, the lack of proper infrastructure makes sending food to the capital a costly undertaking. We should pay him a visit and see for ourselves what is going on. Until then, the rest of the country has to compensate for the Cessabit' inability to pay.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Get Supplies Back on Track
If Cessabit was actually connected to the rest of the country, this wouldn't have happened. We will have to make some sacrifices to get supplies from Lord Matton's estate back on track and modernise our supply routes. That way the country can function normally.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Approach Talvona
Talvona is mostly under the control of Lord Rosefeather and nobles who owe fealty to him. He is a popular griffon, who supports moderate reforms. He is not paying us his full tax, instead using the money to help his peasants. We can convince him of our good intentions and have the good Lord throw his support behind us.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
A Visit to Talvona
To ensure Rosefeather that we mean well towards him and his people, we shall take some time to tour the fiefdom and explain our plans to the locals. With Talvonan support behind us, we will have taken an important step towards reforming the country.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 Lord Rosefeather
The popular Lord Rosefeather of Talvona has come out in favour of the Prince of Whitecrest. The commoners and many lower nobles trust Rosefeather's judgement.
|
The Diet of Lushi
Now that we have dealt with the most stubborn opposition from the Lords, we can reopen the Diet of Lushi, the ancient Council of nobles which decided on matters of great importance. By allowing the lords this autonomy, they should be willing to allow us access to their private armies, enlarging our recruitment pool.
|
|
 The Diet of Lushi
|
Economic Affairs
Distributing economic resources between the nobles always causes heated debates, as the Lords all have their own ideas on how to improve the country and usually their own estate in particular. We should force the Lords to cooperate on this issue as well.
|
|
The Lord Economic Council
The Lord's Council for Economic and State Affairs
The Lord's Economic and Defence Council
The Three Lordly Councils
|
State Affairs
We should discuss matters of State in the Diet. Lushi's Commoners are not leading a good life and some nobles want to fix this. Perhaps we can convince the Diet that changing our way of government before the commoners take matters into their own claws, is the surest way to preserve the nobles' way of life.
|
|
The Council of State Affairs
The Lord's Council for Economic and State Affairs
The Lord's Council for the Realm's Defence and State Affairs
The Three Lordly Councils
|
Defence of the Realm
With all the Lords at the table, we can now consider military affairs. Lushi has a rich history of knights and battles, but much of it has been lost as many of our Lords lost sight of their chivalrous ideals. Our plan is twofold. We will reinvigorate the knightly spirit in our nobles, while also building a modern army.

Pre-empt the Revolution
Prince Elias has managed to convince the Diet of Lushi on massive reforms. The nobles will pledge their support to a constitution and a democratic government. Prince Elias, Lord Rosefeather and some other nobles have banded together in the Prosperist faction, ready to lead Lushi towards harmony.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 The Constitutional Papers
 Prywhen Communist Influence
With most of Prywhen under the PLA, several communists elements in Lushi have come out of hiding and are growing in numbers, and as result, fervently speaking against the government and causing havoc.
|
Open the National Assembly
The first step towards a democracy is to elect national representatives. These will be allowed legislative powers in the National Assembly of Lushi. Prince Elias is throwing himself at the task with an enthusiasm one wouldn't expect from a monarch giving away power. However, the Prince is convinced that this is the best way to ensure the prosperity of Lushi for long after his own death.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Invite the Representatives
After a brief period of campaigning, the elections were held. The people came out in massive support for the Prosperists, a victory for the Prince. With the votes counted, we should get the representatives settled in Lumium and get to work!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Provincial Estates Elections
The local estates, or assemblies, usually only represented some citygriffs and the nobility. We should make these bodies more representative too, with griffons elected from the commoners and peasants. With local representatives taking care of their needs alongside the nobles, the poor should have no reason to turn to radicalism.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Lushian Constitution
Lord Rosefeather has been spending a long time in his study preparing a document that would give all of Lushi the most precious gift. Liberty. For hours on end the noble slaved away on the Constitution, based on examples from all over the world. We merely need to present the document to the National Assembly and soon, every being who finds themselves in Lushi, will be guaranteed a worthy set of rights.
|
|
|
Start Schooling Campaign
The literacy rating in Lushi is absolutely abysmal. To do many modern jobs and operate machinery, a griffon needs to at least learn how to read and write. It will be a lengthy and costly process, but we should start schooling the peasants.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
{{{1}}} |
|
Foreign Scientists
We do not have the time to wait until our new schools produce new scientists, we need to improve our technology now. To that end, we should invite scientists from abroad to lead our own research divisions. But they may leave if we cause too much trouble for them, so let's treat them nicely.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 Scientific Committee of Immigrant Scientists
The scientists from other countries are invited by us, however, if we start causing trouble in Griffonia, they may leave the country.
|
High Schools
With our griffons going into lower education, we are not there yet. We will have to open High Schools as well, so that we can actually train these literate griffons for useful professions.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Lumium Medicine College
The healthcare system in our country is not satisfactory, but we need somewhere to train our doctors and a place to produce medicine. The Lumium Medicine College will be that place. With laboratories, a hospital and plenty of staff, we will push Lushi to the forefront of medical technology.
|
|
 Lumium Medical College
The Lumium Medical College is both a hospital and a research facility. With state of the art laboratories and operation rooms, it is a place of true learning.
|
|
Poly-Technics
We lack engineers, electricians and technicians, since we lack the facilities to train them. By investing in a Polytechnic system of tertiary education, Lushi will soon fill the shortage of technical griffons.
|
|
|
Fund the Sciences
With the facilities in place, our scientists have proposed all kinds of projects, but without funding, they will get nowhere. A system of distributing grants for research proposals will ensure that we will have a lot of experts available for government projects as well.
|
|
|
Attempt to Build a Computer
A computer is, at its core, an electronic calculator. But our engineers say that by figuring out the right language to speak to it and by giving the computer more calculating power, it could do much more than just add numbers. They say the computer could revolutionise the way we handle science and information.
|
|
|
|
Magic of Grass
The materialist science isn't the only way we are making progress. Our research is also helping us to understand the age-old griffon magic. Lushi has always been a place of legend and myth. Magic is strong here and by researching the old manuscripts telling of the Magic of Grass, we might learn more about ourselves than by doing medical experiments.
|
|
|
Connecting the Estates
Under Feudalism, the many estates and fiefs of Lushi were barely connected to each other and more or less self-sufficient. This autarky meant low living standards and a lack of understanding about the rest of the country. The railroads will ensure we can finally all live together and the world will open up, even to the peasants living in the most remote villages.
|
|
|
Exploit the Cessabit Oilfields
We have known about the oilfields in Cessabit for a while, but the government was afraid of giving away the mining rights, since our technological backwardness could mean a company could force a bad deal on us. Now that we have the technology to do it ourselves, Lushians can enjoy the benefits of the Black Gold themselves.
|
|
|
Synthetic Oil Refineries
The fields in Cessabit are nice, but not enough to support our growing oil-powered economy alone. Luckily alchemy has come far since the time we tried turning lead into gold. We can now transmute several substances into usable oil. The transformation process is hard and requires special plants, but it just might be what we need.
|
|
|
Rubber Program
Gryphem is a suitable place for Rubber plantations. The substance is used for tires and is not only important for the civilian economy, but also for tracked vehicles and warplanes. Having our own supply would make our country that much safer, should we have to fight of a threat alone.
|
|
|
'Kravon Automobile Company'
Kravon Automobile Company, or KAC, is Lushi's attempt to enter the car-market. Some of the brightest engineers in Lushi have started to figure out motorised vehicles from the very basics. As the first cars roll of the assembly lines, we could use their experience to research half-tracked half armoured vehicles to protect our troops in battle.
|
|
|
Trains of Griffonia
Sadly we can't make enough trains ourselves to fulfil the demand for trains by both the military and the civilians. We will have to purchase some older trains from abroad. Hopefully our neighbours will give us a fair price.
|
|
|
The Lushian Boom
Our economic potential is finally being reached! All our investments are starting to pay off as more and more of our peasants find work in the expanding industrial sector. Business is booming and we just have to watch and enjoy the humming of hard work in the factories.
|
|
|
Fridges in Every House
Refrigeration is an amazing technology. Being able to store food and drinks for longer will make it so less food goes to waste. In effect, getting fridges in every home will mean that less factories will have to be used to package food, which will increase our industry somewhat.
|
|
|
Quality of Life
King Elias's primary goal has always been to increase the commoners' quality of life. To actually make them enjoy their time on this world, instead of just surviving. With the modernisation and democratisation efforts, he has actually made it happen. Now we can distribute some of our newfound wealth to the griffons.
|
|
|
Defend What is Dear to Us
We have made amazing progress ever since the King came to power in Lushi. Sadly, our wealth might make our neighbours jealous. We must make sure to spend our new wealth prudently and not just on gifts to the population. Let all know that the Kingdom of Lushi will fight to defend what is dear to us!
|
|
 No Longer Defenceless
We have come a long way from where we were. Lushi has pulled itself up from a backward realm of squabbling nobles, to a true Modern Kingdom. Let it be known that we will defend our prosperity and our progress, to the last griffon if necessary.
|
Offer Elias the Crown
It will be hard for the Assembly to keep anything a secret from Prince Elias, but, this must be kept a surprise. The National Assembly has deemed Elias Whitecrest's efforts for Lushi to be fitting of those of legendary Monarchs. Therefore, the people have decided to offer Elias the position of King. A coronation ceremony will be held inside the Whitecrest Castle, followed by a massive party!

|
Catching Up with
the Industrial Powers By making a sizable investment, we will be able to attract expert engineers and companies to Lushi to help us with industrialising the country. These griffons and ponies will want a large monetary incentive to come work here, but it is a price we are willing to pay for modernising the Kingdom.
|
|
|
New Building Techniques
Our construction workers need to learn the way of the future too. Stone and wood are replaced by steel and concrete. Shovels by bulldozers and muscles by cranes and other machinery. Let us master these new building techniques, so that we can make cheap homes and build factories more easily.
|
|
|
Aristocratic Staff
The Lords of Lushi have always commanded their own troops in the field. Commissions to lead troops were not always given by merit, but were also political appointments. It is wise to keep this system in place, since our nobles know both the art of defence and the art of politics.
|
|
 Noble Command Staff
|
Meritocratic Staff
Our noble officer corps simply is not sufficient. If we are to adapt to the needs of modern war, we will need specialised officers, not politicians, to lead our troops. Let us promote on merit, not class, from now on. Aside from improving the quality of our staff, it will also attract more hopeful commoners to the ranks, as they one day might be a general.
|
|
Meritocratic Command Staff
|
Befriend Prywhen
It looks like the communist griffons of Prywhen are here to stay. This is a workable situation for us. By reaching out our claw in friendship, we might not only gain a powerful friend, but also get them to stop some of their operations in our country.
|
|
Communist Sentiments
With most of Prywhen under the PLA, several communists elements in Lushi have come out of hiding and are growing in numbers, but with recent governmental reforms we have been able to counter their growing influence.
|
Volunteers for Prywhen
To assist our friends in the wars abroad, we can send some of our own communists as volunteers to Prywhen. Hopefully that will stop them from causing trouble here in Lushi. If they perish on the field of battle, good riddance to the troublemakers.

|
Destroy the Bandits
The bandits are a threat to the stability of both Prywhen and Lushi. We will take care of this petty excuse for a state and get a bit of land from it in return.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Negotiate with Prywhen
The leaders of the PLA seem more reasonable than we at first assumed. If we look away from their purges of nobles for a bit and focus on pragmatism, we should be able to work with them. We have but to convince their leadership that a non-aggression pact is in both our interests.
|
|
|
Prywhen Trade Route
Most of the world has closed their markets to Prywhen. This means that we have an opportunity to strike a lucrative trade deal. Surely these communists will not know much of economics, so we should be able to negotiate some favourable terms.
|
|
|
Prywhen Research Treaty
The Communists have made some interesting discoveries that might be of use to us. Our scientists are jumping at the opportunity to cooperate with Prywhen. Let us send a request to Prywhen and ask them for a scientific cooperation agreement.
|
|
|
Prywhen Defence Pact
It is clear that Prywhen and Lushi share many common enemies. Even though it might seem weird to bind our destiny to griffons who detest everything we stand for, it is the only way to ensure the safety of our nation. Surely our friends in the PLA will feel the same.
|
One of the following must be true:
Has a war goal against [This.GetNameWithFlag]
Is justifying war goal against [This.GetNameWithFlag]
|
|
Partners in Brodfeld
We have many associates and friends in Brodfeld. They could get us into contact with their King in their hour of need. With a timely intervention, we can still stop the spread of communism in our vicinity.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Aid the Rightful King
We must restore the rightful King of Prywhen. These communists may think they have won, but we will crush these Godless reds and restore the Kingdom. We will be Boreas's will and Arcturius's sword!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Claim Northern Prywhen
It seems Brodfeld has managed to survive the insurgence. They are weakened now, still reeling from the communist attack. Let us strike now and regain some of our rightful land!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Question Brodfeld's Rule
The incompetent King of Brodfeld has proven that he is incapable of ruling like a true Griffon Monarch. As the house with the closest ties to them, it is our job to protect Brodfeld. Let us start by questioning the House de Kissau in a public speech.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
King of Lushi-Brodfeld
With their legitimacy crushed in the eyes of the world and in the spirit of their own people, the House de Kissau has no reason to exist anymore. We will offer them a chance to join us peacefully. If they refuse, we will have no choice but to put Brodfeld under our protection by force.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Whitecrest-Kissau Unity
Prince Tomado and Princess Mira have been seeing each other for a while now. With Brodfeld and Lushi as allies, we should endorse their marriage and unite the houses of Whitecrest and Kissau. Let the people celebrate this joyful union!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Brodfeld Scientists
The scientists of Brodfeld are an eccentric bunch. They are smart, but often focus on weird projects way ahead of their time. We can use their intelligence to our advantage, but it might aggravate our own scientists. So let us take care to not offend the Lushian or the Brodfeldian academia.

|
|
Appropriate Lands of Prywhen
The lands of Prywhen, much like our own, are owned by a number of noble estates. With our control over the country established, we should make sure that any rebellious nobles lose their land. This will not only increase stability, but also give us more resources to work with.
|
|
|
|
Intensive Doctrine Research
Our army is in danger and we need a new idea now! By pulling all our efforts on one idea, we might end up with just the edge we need.
|
|
|
|
Extensive Doctrine Research
Instead of focusing our efforts on just one part of a doctrine, we should spread our efforts over a longer time. Although getting benefits now might be tempting, this might be a better long term plan.
|
|
|
Instate The Royal Guard
It is time for Lushi to once again be the beacon of chivalry it deserves to be. A first step is to form a royal guard of the most promising young nobles. While they will be a castle guard, most importantly, they will be thought the virtues and duties of a knight of old.
|
|
|
From The Ancient Tales
Every young griffon knows some of the legends of Lushi. The ancient tales of heroic knights fighting evil tyrants and dark monsters. The knights who dedicated their lives to the Gods and their liege. We should all aspire to be like the legendary knights, loyal and true to the end!
|
|
 Spirit of the Gallant Lushian Knights
Remember the Ancient Legends of the Knights of Lushi. Of their adventures and of their loyalty. Those days have past now, but we can still rise now and be like those knights again.
|
Finish the Guard's Training
The Young Nobles of the Royal Guard have learned much from their training in Lumium. These valorous knights are now ready to serve Lushi and bring the fight to all the enemies of their sovereign!
|
|
|
The Lushi Institute for Strategic Studies
We should study other, more modern militaries and their tactics, as well as ancient works on the art of warfare. By making a library and institute to amass this knowledge, we can figure out the best doctrine for a modern Lushian Army.
|
|
|
Modern Artillery
What our doctrine may be, modern artillery will have a role to play in our strategy. Artillery can destroy an enemy without putting any of our griffons in danger, whether you are attacking or defending. It is imperative that Lushi stays on top of artillery developments.
|
|
|
|
Defensive Strategy
We have no use for wars of conquest. We should concentrate our efforts on making sure that no other country declares war on us. The concept of deterrence will help us with this. By making our military so hard to defeat that a war would cost more than our country can offer an enemy, no enemy would want to attack us.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 Deterrence
Standing alone, we rarely benefit from war. Fortunately, we know that the best defense is one so well-known you never have to put it to use.
|
To Plan a Victory
The Institute for Strategic Studies has found many works which state that planning is key. Indeed, has a creative plan not been the key in many a knight's victory over evil? By planning and drilling every detail of combat, we will make the enemy fight on our terms.
|
|
|
|
The King's Army
The commoners have been long neglected in Griffonian warfare. All the focus was on the noble knight and their gallant charges. However, a rifle can kill a griffon from hundreds of meters away and an artillery shell murders without regard for social class. Therefore, numbers and mass will mean victory. It is a harsh truth, but a truth we must accept.
|
|
|
|
Defensive Bunkers
We should construct fortifications along the borders with our enemies. By appointing flexible construction crews for a long time, we can quickly decide which part of our country needs to be fortified against our many neighbours.
|
|
|
Offensive Strategy
Wars cannot be won by standing still. Our troops must be brave and take the war to the enemy. By fighting on other peoples' land, we protect our own from any serious harm. Our military should focus on the offence and the tactics that best suit this.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 Offensive Plan
|
New Mobile Doctrine
Tanks are the knights of the future! A core of armoured vehicles will be the tip of our lance. Like the knights of old our panzer forces will dominate the battlefield. For this to become a reality we must develop a doctrine based on speed and aggressiveness.
|
|
|
|
Li-1 and Rico Design Study
We should study some of the most famous tanks from the continent. Some light tanks will already be a massive improvement over no tanks at all. Fast and with machineguns and cannons, tanks are a true terrifying weapons platform!
|
|
|
New Infantry Doctrine
Infantry is the mainstay of every army, even the most modern ones. By focussing on amassing firepower and how to most effectively bringing it to bear against the enemy, we will be able to turn a tactical advantage into a strategic victory. Barrages from our artillery will smash any resistance to our valiant soldiers' advance.
|
|
|
Improve the Life of Peasants
The endemic poverty that still rules in many parts of the realm needs to be solved. With investments, grants and projects the nobility can help improve the life of the commoners. We need to keep a good eye on their spending, however, to make sure the Lords don't pocket the money.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
{{{1}}} |
|
Erus Acel
We need to open a new armoury. Our many blacksmiths are known for their mastery of steel. Instead of swords, however, they will be making rifles. The modern infantry griffon will be armed by Erus Acel, the pride of Lushi!
|
|
|
Gryphem Steel Production
Gryphem has some unexploited iron deposits which the local Lord couldn't use by himself. He has petitioned us to invest in a mine and a steel mill. It won't just provide jobs, but it will also give us more access to crucial materials for warfare.
|
|
|
Talvonian Institute of Industry
Lord Rosefeather has always loved science. He has proposed to open a new institute in his estate. The researchers there will focus on supporting our burgeoning industrial sector. With another research institute in the country, we can expand our own research capacity as well.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Rifle Masters
Erus Acel has perfected the simple rifle to an art. The master blacksmiths have become masters of the rifle. The high demand for Lushian weaponry means that we can expand our production by constructing a new arsenal. The famed Lushian rifles also attract talent from other places, who in turn bring their own ideas and practices with them to complement our own technology.
|
|
|
Organize Markets
The first step to getting ourselves out of this economic slump is organising the markets. Over the centuries, many lords have given licences to markets based on many different ideas. We must inventory all the market licenses and simplify all the rules, so that our crops actually reach the hungry beaks.
|
|
Peasant Markets
We have reviewed the market licenses granted by nobles in the past and have streamlined the process. This should help to make sure no food goes to waste.
|
Grain Imports
Sadly, our peasants cannot produce enough food right now to feed us all. Luckily some of our neighbours still have enough food. Let us intervene and buy grain for the griffons, so that no commoner goes to bed on an empty stomach.
|
|
|
Employ the Commoners
While our peasants are free now, they cannot enjoy this freedom with the current unemployment rates. However, with labour so cheap, we could plan some public works projects to employ the commoners and improve the countryside. We shall have the clerks prepare several plans, after which we can pick the ones that we deem most useful.
|
|
|
Support our Knights
We should encourage the peasants to find jobs in the military industry to support our noble military. By making sure that the people know who protect their newfound freedom, we can increase support for our chivalrous army.
|
|
|
Keep them Civil
The peasants should become artisans and work in our new factories. That way they will have a way to move up on the social ladder and increase the size of our economy at the same time. Agriculture alone is just not going to cut it, a modern country needs industry.
|
|
|
Farming Potatoes
Potatoes are very tasty and somewhat easier to farm than rice. Let us give our peasants a break and make potatoes our staple food source. To convince the peasants to actually eat the ugly things, perhaps Elias should go out to the countryside and eat a potato himself.
|
|
|
|
Farming Rice
Rice is very labour intensive to farm and will require many smart solutions to get going. However, the benefits of such a reliable food source are not to be underestimated. With this, Lushi will be able to support a larger population, without any griffon having to worry about hunger.
|
|
|
Minimal Welfare
To ensure the well-being of those who we could not employ yet, we should implement a minimal of welfare. So we shall make sure there is enough food for the unemployed and that they get at least some welfare benefits. We simply cannot afford to be too generous right now, but this gesture should show the commoners that we do in fact care about them.
|
|
Peasant Welfare
We have implemented minimal peasant welfare, to make sure that at least no griffon goes hungry again.
|
Strengthen Aristocratic Positions
Only a strong elite can lead a country effectively. Luckily, Lushi already has a ruling class, the aristocracy itself. We must undo Elias's reforms and expand the rights of the nobility. They will, in turn, reward us with their loyal support.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Aristocratic State Corporations
We have negotiated a deal with the nobility. They will put the revenues of their estates at our disposal for a limited time. These temporary State Corporations will help us to make enough revenue to expand our industry in other ways. It is heartwarming to see that the aristocracy cares so much for the wellbeing of Lushi.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 State Corporations
|
A Capitalist Nation
We should not only tie the old wealth to us, but also the new money. With bribes, favourable labour contracts and other bonuses, we will entice the captains of industry to cooperate with the government. With the right griffons in the right places, we can ensure the loyalty of the market.
|
|
New Capitalist Relations
|
Increase the Army Numbers
Although our army has always relied on levies who were called into service when the need arrived. However, a strong state requires a standing army. Therefore, we must press the peasants into service. They might not be the best soldiers, but we will whip any reluctance out of them.
|
|
 Griffon Militias
Since the fall of the old Empire our armies have mostly been comprised of local militias, led by self-appointed commanders. While this has allowed us to easily patrol and police our own country, it isn't exactly doing our high command any favours.
|
|
Lumium Cadet School
A new Cadet School should be founded to instruct our forces in the nuances of modern warfare. We do not only need normal infantry, but also special forces. The best and the brightest of our soldiers will be trained in this school, to show the superiority of Lushi's army!

Land Reform
We need to reform the Aristocratic estates. They are outdated and keep smart griffons tied to their land. Besides, we can use the pretext of Reform to reward those who have been loyal to us. By taking land from other nobles and giving it to loyalists, we will increase our power and the amount of land we can use for other purposes.

|
|
Religion in All Spheres of Life
One of the peasants' most redeeming qualities is their piety. This is something we can use to our advantage. By allying with the priesthood, we can spread fear of Godless communism. They seek to end our way of life and deny the Gods. Our Prince, on the other claw, has been given the right to rule by Boreas himself. The claws of the Gods should finally put down the influence of the reds.

War Tax
War, the ultimate struggle to determine a nation's place in the world, is the goal of all griffons. Our nation should be geared for warfare and support the glorious military as best as it can. All the commoners must make sacrifices to ensure the victory of Lushi and Prince Gerar!

The Reformed Recruiting Law
We need more griffons for the army. Peasant, commoner, noble. It doesn't matter. The expanded recruiting law will not make our people happy. But, they must accept their sacrifice for the good of the nation. As Beakolini teaches, a griffon's life is worth nothing. It is only the spirit of the nation that matters.

Proclaim New Kingdom
Lushi is finally recovering and becoming a great nation once again. It is time to assume our role as one of the great nations of the world. The title Prince is simply not fitting for Gerar. Therefore, let him be known as King Gerar Whitecrest. Long live the Kingdom of Lushi! We will bleed and die for you!
|
|
|
The Lushian Nation
Our neighbours are weak and undeserving of their independence. The Lushian Nation should stretch well beyond our current borders. Our people are ready for noble conflict and our new enemies will be absorbed into our grand Kingdom.
|
|
|
|
Fuel the War Machine
Although our nation is prepared, our industry could use an expansion. One never knows when a war goes the wrong way and we will require extra factories to fill in the gap. Let us add some fuel to power the war machine.
|
|
|
|
Folyo Project
We must match the infrastructure and technology of the great powers on the continent. The Folyo project will use both spies and science to further our own goals. It is imperative that this project is completely secret. Our enemies must not find out that we are stealing their ideas for our own use.
|
|
|
Lumium-Kivessin Railroad
With Prywhen firmly in our claws, it is time to connect the big cities of Greater-Lushi with each other. The railroad will have to travel through some inhospitable land, but our engineers will pull through and deliver a beautiful railroad. And of course, the King himself will ensure that the trains run on time.
|
|
|
|
Buy What's Cheap Today
We have to admit that our budget is running dry. Therefore, we must show Lushian ingenuity. Let's see what is cheap and available on the market today and use that equipment to our advantage.
|
|
|
|
Force Prywhen Peasants to Work
The people of Prywhen have resisted, but have proven to be inferior to Lushi. Now we will claim the right of the strongest. The conquered will now work for the conquerors, whatever the cost. We need those factories working.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Resources of the Marsh
The marshes of Prywhen have been unused for the longest of time. Neglecting their land like this really shows that these griffons had no business ruling on their own. With hard labour and infallible purpose, we will make those marshes into a useful part of our Nation.
|
|
|
|
Everything for the War Effort
We have made up our mind. Lushi is going to war. But a people can only win a conflict if their entire spirit, their entire being even, supports the war. With unwavering zeal, we will work for our victory. Our soldiers will fight, while our people will work for their victory.
|
|
|
Integrate the Host
The Cossacks have always lacked strong leadership. Even though their individual people may have been strong, they lacked guidance. Now that their lands have fallen to us, we will integrate them into Lushi. Once we show them our power, surely the griffons of the Host will gladly join our Kingdom.

Steal the Riches of Gryphus
Gryphus is a pitiful state with no right to exist. We have done the world a favour by cleaning that stain on the world map. Luckily for us, the Gryphus treasury was far from empty. We should make sure to transfer that wealth to Lumium for safekeeping.

Conscript the Cossacks
The hardy Cossacks will make a wonderful addition to our army. However, catching them on the great plains of their homeland will be hard. By expanding the Cossack register, we can discover who actually lives on our land and make sure the Cossacks join our army.
|
|
|
Force Gryphus Peasants to Work
The people of Gryphus are pathetic and they easily succumbed to Lushi. The lives of its inhabitants now belong to us. They will be mustered into our grand army and put to work in a new factory.
|
|
|
|
Empire Realized
In the struggle of Nations, Lushi has come out on top. Led by our illustrious King Gerar Whitecrest, we have taken our homeland to greatness. Our lands stretch from Riaportu to Lumium, an enormous swath of land. Therefore our King deserves to truly be crowned Emperor! May the Lushian Empire last a thousand years!

|
Lushi Flies High
For the defence of the realm, we will need aircraft, one of the modern machines of warfare. Fast and versatile, combat planes are the key to victory. Before we can start production, we will need to build an airfield to house our craft and decide on a doctrine.
|
|
|
Fighter Focus
We should focus our efforts on the most humble of planes, the fighter craft. Specifically made to fight other planes, this plane will protect our skies from any enemy who dares enter it
|
|
|
Fighter Focus II
It is time for a more modern fighter. With better guns and most importantly, a more powerful engine, we can make our fighters that more nimble. Conquering the skies is imperative if we are to win any conflict and the Lushian Flyer corps will make good use of the works of craftsmanship that are modern fighters.
|
|
|
Bomber Focus
Our enemies might focus on shooting down planes, but griffons still do live most of their lives on the ground. By equipping bombs on our aircraft, we will destroy any enemies on the ground.
|
|
|
Bomber Focus II
Next to normal bombers, we should also consider close air support. These aircraft are specifically designed to take down ground troop formations and spread disorganisation amongst the enemy. Alternatively, we could continue with bigger bombers, who can effectively destroy enemy infrastructure as well.
|
|
|
Lushian Aviation
With our plane designs complete, we should return back to the question of doctrine. With a larger air force comes the challenge of commanding and controlling the swarms of planes available. Whichever strategy we choose, Lushi should be careful to not neglect air-officers and support staff.
|
|
|
Purchase Foreign Aircraft
It will take too much effort to make our own aircraft design. Luckily, there are still nations on this earth who are friendly to us. By paying enough goods, we will be able to purchase foreign designs, which are as good as anything we could come up with on our own.

Lushian Councils
Instituting peasant councils, where the populace can have a say in the governing of the new country, is exactly what this communal society is founded on, so it's time to keep the promises.
|
|
|
|
Civilian Needs
The populace has needs, and we can use the experience gained from fulfilling these manufacturing needs to assist in our own manufacturing.
|
|
|
|
Up the Industry
Now that the Free Lushian Republic is a true nation state on the playing field, it's time to begin manufacturing of consumer goods for our people, and the roads needed to transport them.
|
|
|
|
Industrialisation
Shifting from our agrarian society to a more modernised society shouldn't just be a priority, it should be our quest.
|
|
|
Education Campaigns
The commoner is uneducated and unable to read, and that hampers their ability to make decisions for the betterment of themselves and others.
|

Griffon Schools
Setting up our brightest and most intelligent in schools across the countryside is the best starting point. It's hard to teach without the facilities to do so.

Every Griffon a Student
Enforcing mandatory education for all griffon, young and old, male and female, may be slightly unpopular, but they'll thank us when they're able to read.

Education for All
Subsiding education greatly, so even the poorest peasant can go to school, is the only logical next step in our desire to education the commoner.

The ideal griffon is one who always works hard, who always puts 110% effort into everything he - or she - does, and making this known to everyone - and rewarding those who live up to expectation - should boost productivity, right?

Digging For Resources
Lushi is a nation run by farmers, and as a result the ability to gather valuable minerals is limited. It's time to start manufacturing tools and teaching griffons how to mine.
|
|
|
|
Enrich the Standard of Living
The majority in Lushi only know poverty, so elevating every griffon up from poverty to a better standard of living shall please everyone.
|
|
|
|
Manufacturing Steel
Every nation requires steel. Whether it's for pots and pans, or for tanks and guns, it's a mandatory facet of life. Streamlining and making our steel manufacturing process infinitely better is, well, infinitely better.
|
|
|
|
A Modern Lushi
After all the advances over the last few years, Lushi is finally ready to become a truly modern society to rival any other.
|
|
|
|
Lushian Arms Plants
Upgrading from a cottage industry to a dedicated military industry should allow us to start outfitting our army with more modern weapons, like self loading rifles and tanks.

The Red Army
The People's Red Army of Lushi is the start of a professional military force, rather than a militia of untrained peasants. For the defence of the nation and the griffons!

Red Army Defence Practice
Lushi belongs to Lushians, and the defence of the nation is paramount in the event of a foreign incursion. Defend, grind them down, and move in when they're weak.

Red Army Attack Practice
The best way to protect our nation is to take out the enemy when they declare war, and quickly force them to surrender. A good attack, is the best defence.
