|---|---|---|
Divided Government
The start of River Swirl's second term as Chancellor has not been an easy one. Runner-up Nova Whirl has gathered a strong left-wing coalition against River Swirl and her Rijeka Harmony Party. The two leaders and their parties have radically different ideas about policies, which might result in a political deadlock. Unless a solution is found the government may cease to function.

The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
Strengthen the OHS
The Office of Harmonic Services has existed since Rijekograd's reformation into a republic and initally guarded the nascent democracy from monarchist conspirators. Over the decades their resources have been significantly reduced as they were seen as obsolete, but times are changing. We must be prepared to face threats from without and within.
|
|
 Office of Harmonic Services
Office of Harmonic Services
OHS is a secret service of the government whose purpose is to safeguard the country from internal and external threats. The chief of the OHS, Arclight, is a controversial stallion, but he truly means best for the Republic, even if his methods are unorthodox at times.
|
Bastion of the East
Countless times have the Riverlands been attacked, and countless times have our enemies broken against our mountains like waves break against cliffs. The Riverlands must remain an unassailable bastion, and become a true safe haven of harmony and democracy.
|
|
 Bastion Of The East
No matter what transpires, the Rijekan ponies are committed to protecting the Riverlands from anycreature who would cause us harm. Especially griffons.
|
The Golden Curtain
We must ensure that the Empire does not directly threaten the borders of the Coalition. A Golden Curtain needs to be raised around us: A sphere of influence consisting of allies and friends that will safeguard us from foreign invasion.
|
|
 The Golden Curtain
We must ensure that the Empire does not directly threaten the borders of the Coalition. A Golden Curtain needs to be raised around us: A sphere of influence consisting of allies and friends that will safeguard us from foreign invasion.
|
Establish the Minutemares
The Griffonian Empire may strike at neighbouring democratic nations at any moment. We need to do all we can to prevent their expansion at the expense of liberty and harmony! New militia units of volunteers will be organized, ready to respond to threats abroad quickly, hence the name.
|
|
 The Minutemares
To protect our interests abroad, our forces must always be prepared at a moment's notice to deploy where they are needed.
|
Operation: Cherry Party
A buffer zone needs to be created in the Evi valley to guard the Coalition's southwestern border. For too long have Lake City and Wittenland suffered from griffon raids! Lushi, Gryphia and Gryphus should all embrace democratic, liberal and pacifistic government, lest they threaten us or become the Empire's pawns.
|
|
|
Intervene In Prywhen
The kingdom of Brodfeld has long been a concern to us, since they suffered from a devastating famine and instability which led to King Kloseu assuming autocratic powers. The situation has only worsened after a bloody civil war. We must bring peace and freedom to the griffons of Prywhen who have suffered long enough!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Operation: Magic Star
Hellquill and Longsword, both creations of the Empire, have been rivals of the entire Coalition for centuries. They are responsible for countless raids and crimes, such as the sacking of Diamond Mountain and the burning of Lake City. It is time the barbaric knights abandon their violent ways, embrace harmony and align with the East instead of the West.
|
|
|
Friendship Without Borders
As our Golden Curtain expands, liberty and democracy are brought to numerous lands and millions finally enjoy lives of freedom and harmony. The new governments we have set up are in debt to us and are willing to pay with military aid. Let the Empire and their armies come! They will learn to respect the true power of friendship.
|
|
 Friendship Without Borders
|
The Final Battle
OHS agents report of a massive military buildup in the Empire. It is clear they are preparing to strike at us with full force! We cannot allow the imperialist scum to have the initiative, but must go on the offensive, despite it going against our morals and values. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Prepare For The Storm
A storm is brewing in the West, but for now peace reigns in the East. While we can, we must strengthen our bonds with other Coalition members and ensure the alliance is strong enough to withstand any tempest.
|
|
|
The River Games
Riverlands Cup is already an established tradition and has brought us all closer together. Indeed, few things can make people bond as well as sports do. Therefore we should organize a new grand event with a variety of different sports, allowing each member to excel in something even if hoofball isn't their cup of tea.
|
|
|
River Scholarship Programme
The Riverlands are home to many brilliant minds who live in different countries, yet their talents are unrecognized. We should conduct an academic scholarship competition open to all students and reward the highest-achieving competitors with generous scholarships. This will allow us to find the most capable students and support them financially.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
United Construction Regulation
Currently all member nations have their own laws and traditions when it comes to building. This makes cooperation rather difficult. Construction practices should be regulated and harmonized so no matter where the workers are from, they can work together on large projects.
|
|
 United Construction Regulation
|
Agricultural Standards Authority
As trade of agricultural products between members of the Coalition grows, so does the risk of disease that could ruin crops and kill animals. Tariffs imposed on trade are also rather hefty and farming practices -- and thus production efficiency -- vary greatly. Establishing international regulations and standards will resolve all these issues.
|
|
 Agricultural Standards Authority
|
Equestrian Exchange
Equestria is the most advanced nation of ponies in the world. They do not jealously guard their great knowledge, so all we need to do is ask them and we will surely receive scientific aid. If they desire, we can give them our studies as well and cooperate together to create a brighter tomorrow.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Social Security Act
The rise of the SKR was partially caused by the poor conditions of our ponies. Indeed, the socialists were right: we need to aid the less fortunate in our society and ensure everyone gets a chance in life. An extensive and modern social security law must be passed to aid the elderly, the foals and the unemployed.
|
|
 Social Security Act
|
Healthcare Reform
There is more we can do to improve the lives of our ponies: A healthcare reform that improves both quality and availability of medical aid. Public insurances will be made afforable with slightly higher taxes and free vaccination programs will be started at once.
|
|
 Healthcare Reform
|
Equestria Of The East
River Swirl has followed Celestia's hoofsteps and is molding the River Republic after the greatest pony nation in the world. Life expectancy, average income and happiness are all rising rapidly, and soon enough the lives of our ponies will be as good as the lives of Equestrian citizens. Our nation will now show the way for other Coalition members just like Equestria showed the way for us.
|
|
 Equestria Of The East
|
|
The Dog Question
Diamond Mountain is unfortunately a disgrace for the entire Coalition. Their government does not ensure the complete liberty of their people, neither does it advocate for peace and harmony. Quite the opposite. This is something we should not -- and will not -- tolerate.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Harmony in Watertowns
The villages far in the north have banded together in the Watertowns. Although many see their pacifist communal society as socialist, it is clear they are harmonists in denial. By sending delegations to the Watertowns to talk to the ponies there, we might be able to convince them that we have much in common.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Border Defence Fund
We will ask everypony to contribute to the border defence fund. Half made up of private donations and half of government funds cobbled together from whatever we had left, this fund will help us acquire the resources needed to make state of the art fortifications along our borders.
|
|
 Border Defence Fund
|
Ensure War Readiness
Our population must be trained for wartime emergencies. Instructions to find safe shelters and how to put on gas masks. Training to turn off lights and be mindful about gossip and the food you consume. When everypony is ready, any war we encounter will be over before we know it!
|
|
 War Readiness Act
|
Seek Equestrian Aid
War has broken out, but the River Republic is not the sole defender of harmony in the world. A wise and kind princess rules over our western cousins in Equestria. River Swirl still has some connections there from when she studied overseas. Perhaps the Equestrians will aid our war effort?
|
|
|
The Home Act
The Home Act will serve as a reminder about what we are fighting for: The homeland of the Rijekan people. Freedom, harmony and democracy! The River Republic is our home and we will stand together to defend it from anypony who would harm it!
|
|
|
Emergency Arms Provisioning
A massive military buildup will be necessary if the River Republic is to compete with the enemies of harmony. We will enact emergency protocols to confiscate useful factories and tools. With these assets, we will make our military industry much more capable.
|
|
|
Establish The UHAC
The Un-Harmonic Activities Committee will make sure that everypony, especially government workers, do not let themselves in with unharmonic views. Especially pro-griffon sentiment and socialism must be rooted out. These ponies are cunning and hide in plain sight, so we must be relentless in chasing them down and stopping them.
|
|
|
|
Office of Scientific Development
Scientific progress is a crucial part of a peaceful society, but it is even more important for warfare. We will need to pool our resources by making a special office that gathers the right scientists for the right job. We will always be ahead of our enemies if we outsmart them!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Reform The Unharmonious
Nopony is forever lost to harmony. With patience and good examples, we can reform anypony to accept the ways of freedom and democracy. A caring heart and a silver tongue will convince even the most ardent socialists of our righteous cause!
|
|
 Reform the Disharmonists
|
Citizenship Reform Act
It is clear that we cannot just give out citizenship to our great Republic to everypony. A true citizen takes responsibility for society and is willing to fight for it. Those who have seen the battlefield, will work in harmony to make the world peaceful. Military service will be a requirement for citizenship.
|
|
Service Guarantees Citizenship
|
The Phoenix Programme
At first we thought the death of Grover V would finally bring the collapse of the Empire. Alas, this did not happen and OHS agents report of a military buildup in the West. The Empire has attacked the Riverlands before and it may do so again. We must ensure the Griffon Phoenix does not become strong enough to rival our entire Coalition!
|
|
|
Secure The Riverlands
We cannot afford cracks in the River Coalition. Every country in the Riverlands that does not stand with us may provide an easy way for the Griffon Empire to corner us politically and militarily. The Coalition must stand together as a bulwark against griffonkind, but we cannot afford countries backing out. Even though it pains us, we must secure the Riverlands.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Anti-Imperial Propaganda
The OHS has managed to capture enough footage of griffon society that we can use to our advantage. Scheming griffon capitalists extorting their people, endless wars and dishonourable nobles... We will reinforce these stereotypes with a well-oiled propaganda machine, so that everypony knows who the true enemy is.
|
|
|
|
Replace the Unstable Government
The Office of Harmonic Services has assessed the situation and found that the bickering between the parties in the Sabor is a clear and dangerous security risk. It is time to convince River Swirl that drastic measures must be taken to stabilise the government, lest we become too weak and divided to resist the Empire.
|
|
|
Wartime Harmony
The principles of harmony to which our government and people have clung to so hard, are not inherently wrong, but they are dangerous. In war, the values which you hold dear melt before your eyes. However, we will keep those ideas that are dearest to us even in these harsh times. Wartime Harmony may be different from who we aspire to be in the ideal world, but it doesn't change who we are at heart.

|
OHS Divisions
The Office of Harmonic Services will need to form special military units to keep the regular soldiers in check. These units will an example for our frontline units by showing their willingness to die for our harmonic cause. Of course, these units will be able to take over regular army units if they perform below expectations.
|
|
 OHS Divisions
|
OHS Detachments
The Office of Harmonic Services is an intelligence agency first and foremost and it should focus on that task. But, to advance the war effort, we can attach especially courageous and loyal agents to our divisions. These agents will oversee our soldiers and especially our officers, to ensure high morale and absolute conviction of our harmonic cause.
|
|
OHS Detachments
|
Crackdown on Dissent
Many ponies are questioning our rule. They clamour for a more peaceful course instead of steering our country towards what they perceive as a catastrophic and totally preventable conflict. In other times, we would value their criticism, but in these crucial years, we must make a unified front against the aggressive griffons. We will respond harshly to anti-government protests from now on.
|
|
|
Reconcile Nova Whirl
Although Nova Whirl is a socialist, she is not completely irredeemable. The mare still believes in harmony in her heart, but goes about achieving it differently than us. With some guarantees that our country will not go after communist groups, domestically and abroad, we might be able to convince Nova Whirl to support our cause.
|
|
|
Arrange an Accident
The OHS has been keeping tabs on the leadership of the socialist party. Many of them are growing increasingly dissatisfied with our government and might coordinate resistance against us if not handled carefully. It would be really fortunate if some of the socialist leaders were to have an accident...
|
|
|
The Griffon Communists
To the south of the River Coalition, a new threat has been brewing. The griffon nobility has been treating their workers and peasants so badly that they have risen in revolt. Rather than embrace harmony, however, these birds have embraced communism. Their misguided ideals of global unity means they will seek to invade us sooner or later. We must strike first.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Western Corridor
The time has come to secure our path towards the empire. The knights of Hellquill and Longsword act as a bufferzone for the regime in Griffenheim, using rightful pony land to fortify themselves from our assault. We will liberate these suffering ponies and forge a path to Grover's doorstep.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Recruitment Drive
The stream of new recruits is slowly drying up, but we will require many more soldiers to fight against the Empire! Luckily, propaganda is one of the OHS's strong points. Every street corner will have a poster. Veterans will go to colleges and workplaces to rally the stallions and the mares and the radio will remind every Rijekan to do their duty!
|
|
 Recruitment Propaganda
|
End the Empire
The great task is almost at an end. Before us lie the vast lands of the Griffonian Empire. In it live millions of griffons who seek to destroy harmony and bring all ponykind into the grips of their iron claws. The River Republic will never let that happen!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
A Job Well Done
The OHS has done its duty to the River Republic and the entire harmonic world. The Griffonian Empire has been neutralised and with it, a great threat to global peace. None of this would be worth anything, however, if the agency didn't reinstate the elected government and retreated back into the background.
|
|
|
Never-ending Emergency
The Griffonian Empire may have been beaten, but many threats still loom large. The spectre of communism and the terror of supremacy still haunt the continent. To step back now would be a fatal mistake. The OHS will keep guarding the River Republic forevermore.
|
|
|
Undermine the OHS
The Office of Harmonic Services is a vicious, dark tool of the bourgeois tyrants. Who knows what they did in the shadows to keep us in check? How many of our comrades "disappeared" thanks to them, never to be seen again? Too many, that is for certain. Now that we are in control of the government, we must defang the plotting fox.
|
|
 The Left Ascendant
Popularity of SKR has risen rapidly and they now control the Sabor. Their first reforms have already begun.
|
Red Saturday
It was like any other Saturday. The Sabor prepared for a meeting in Rijekograd to discuss recent political developments and the rapid rise of the SKR. Then, something happened...
|
|
|
Proletarian Dictatorship
Workers of Rijekograd, arise from your slumber! For too long have you suffered. Rise up and take up arms, for the time for revolution has come! The streets shall run red with the blood of the bourgeois scum! Bring Nova Whirl and her fellow traitors to justice!
|
The following will bypass the focus:

Democracy Prevails
Caramel's insidious plot has been stopped at the last minute, the traitors have been arrested and democracy has been saved. Now Nova Whirl and the SKR can finally begin reforms that will turn the River Republic into a true socialist utopia.

People's Department of Revolutionary Truth
People must be informed of all the faults and flaws of capitalism and private ownership. For every right-wing lie we will provide two left-wing truths! Long live socialism!
|
|
|
|
We Do Not Fear
Beyond our borders fascist generals, greedy bourgeoisie and military industrialists are rubbing their hooves and plotting our downfall while sucking their workers dry. We do not want war, but if we have to, we will fight to the death! It is our duty to not only defend our country but to break the chains of all workers of the world!
|
|
|
Under Crimson Skies
Our soldiers will be the vanguards of the revolution should the worst come to pass. They have the strength to defeat any bourgeois sellsword band and are united in brotherhood unlike the divided enemy. We must ensure they remember this.
|
|
Rile Up The Troops
|
Arsenal Of Socialism
It is our solemn duty to supply and support socialists abroad, so they can accomplish what we did and overthrow their oppressors, either violently or peacefully. River Republic will be the seed from which liberation shall sprout. Workers of the East, unite!
|
|
|
Support Socialist Partisans
We already know of small groups of socialist freedom fighters in foreign countries. However, they are unable to do much because they lack weapons, training and support in general. They need our help, and we will send it in secret.
|
|
|
|
Support Socialist Agitators
Class consciousness must be fostered in undereducated foreigners, so they become aware of their oppression and work together to set themselves free. We will send money and instructions to trusted contacts abroad so they can begin to spread word of revolution.
|
|
|
|
Misinformation Campaigns
To ensure our operations remain undiscovered, we must confound the lawkeepers, soldiers and agents of foreign countries. Our own agents will infiltrate them so they can spread false information and provide a distraction when necessary. They will cooperate with the partisans and agitators so they can act unnoticed.
|
|
|
Beacon of Peace
Nova Whirl has assured the people that the River Republic will be a haven of stability and prosperity in the East, and no military conflicts will be started. If war comes, Rijekan ponies will of course have to defend themselves, but Nova promises to do everything she can to maintain peace with diplomacy.
|
|
|
Josipean Strategy
"For the right moment you must wait, as Grand Prince Josip Grivačić did most patiently, when warring against the griffons, though many censured his delays; but when the time comes you must strike hard, as Josip did, or your waiting will be in vain, and fruitless." Nova Whirl plans to adopt a new stratagem, which will slowly but surely transition the Riverlands to socialism. |
|
|
Solidarity
Proletariat of the East must stand together, for divided they are too weak to resist reactionary aggression. Besides, nations and borders are all constructs made to turn us against each other when in reality we are all brothers and sisters. It is time to begin consolidating the Riverlands into a single Republic!
|
|
|
Triumphant Revolution!
At long last, the proletariat of the Riverlands stand proud and victorious! After a great struggle the East is united under socialism. This is the beginning of a new, golden age! May our country become a true utopia for all the world to admire!
|
|
|
One Nation, One Culture
Nationalism and racism are diseases which must be cured. The people of the Union should be loyal to their class, not to their homelands or race! Reforms must be enacted: Socialist realism shall become the official art style of the Union, every child will be taught to speak Rijekan and racial equality must be promoted. We shall all be united in solidarity!
|
|
|
Crackdowns On Reactionaries
Across our newborn country, far-right terrorists seek to smother the nation in its crib. They must be stopped at once! Our soldiers shall be sent forth to arrest suspects, additional guards will protect our cities and anti-reactionary propaganda will be published.
|
|
|
Socialism For All
The members of the coalition had widely disparate economies ranging from subsistence agriculture to modern industry. It is time we unite the nations in socialism and abolish private property everywhere. More developed regions shall aid the poorer ones until all are equal. Workers of the Riverlands shall own the means of production!
|
|
|
|
United Army
The various armies of the former nations continue to exist, all with their own unique organizations, communications and commanders. How can we defend ourselves from foreign counter-revolutionary aggression if we are so divided? Huge reforms need to be enacted at once to reform our military into a single, powerful army.
|
|
|
Aggressive Defence
Offence is best defence. There is no sense in idly waiting for our neighbours to conspire together and unite in an anti-socialist alliance whose goal is our destruction. We must strike now and secure our borders!
|
|
 Aggressive Defence
|
Secure The Western Border
To the west lie the Evi valley and the land of our most bitter foes, Hellquill and Longsword. Griffons form the majority of the population, with many of them living in nations where the rich oppress the poor. This cannot be tolerated! The west must be liberated and our rivals crushed immediately.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|

Secure The Northern Border
The north is uncivilized and poor. It is our duty to bring socialism to the hillponies and bring them to modernity, so all of them can live long, prosperous and healthy lives together with us!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Secure The Southern Border
The south is truly unruly: insane mages who have enslaved their people, a capitalist puppet state and primitive deer tribes. It is a disgrace on our doorstep. Our armies must march south and free the poor ponies of Barrad, zebras of Kása and deer of Austurland who have suffered for far too long.

Stalliongrad Of The East
Comrade Steel Stallion of Equestria was our original inspiration and showed us how workers can overcome any opposition to overthrow their oppressors. We have followed in his hoofsteps and have created a Stalliongrad of our own! Let us now rejoice and breathe free at last.
|
|
 Stalliongrad Of The East
|
|
Great Patriotic War
Comrades! It is time for us to begin preparations for our greatest struggle! Enemies on all sides are already plotting an invasion. Yet do not fear! We shall purge the Riverlands from capitalism and slaughter the vermin who stand in the way of equality and progress. Comrade Caramel will lead us to glorious victory! The red star shall rise and shine bright upon the enslaved masses of the world!
|
|
|
Fortify The North And East
To the north and east stand truly wicked foes: slaver pooches who lust for gold, a tyrannical monarch ruling over his impoverished serfs with an iron hoof, a nation corrupted by dockyard owners and a decadent republic of racist warmongers. They will come for us soon, eager to crush our revolution. We must fortify the valleys and the mountains at once!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Fortify The South And West
To the west and south are our most bitter rivals: a republic refusing to let go of its monarchist past with a disgusting military-industrial complex, an arrogant kingdom of cheeky drunkard aristocrats and bands of primitive tribes who cannot even read. Let them come, for they shall find impregnable defences waiting for them!

Everypony Must Fight
War is coming, and to ensure the survival of our socialist paradise every single pony will have to do their part. Soldiers, workers, farmers, every single citizen! Our republic will become an efficient machine of war with one goal only: The complete destruction of capitalist invaders.

|
|
We will also gain Wargoals on any country currently occupying territory belonging to the River Coalition's Starting Members.

|
Political Commissars
Civilian control of the military must be ensured, lest counter-revolution destroys the Republic. We will introduce supervisory officers to our army, responsible for political education, discipline and loyalty of the unit they are assigned to.
|
|
 Political Commissars
|
|
Co-Opt The OHS
The Office of Harmonic Services can still be of use to us. We shall reform it into the Committee for State Security and change it from a cruel torture device of the bourgeoisie into a just guillotine of the proletariat!
|
|
|
Defence Industry Complex
Our military production is unsatisfactory. The new Ministry of Defence Industry will ensure quotas are increased and work discipline tightened. We must also construct new assembly plants where our free proletariat will work day and night.
|
|
|
Collective Farming
It is time we exterminate the disgusting concept of private ownership from our country. We will put our earth ponies to work on collective farms, at gunpoint if necessary, and destroy any fences dividing farms. Excessively wealthy peasants cannot be trusted and will be eliminated as a class.
|
|
 Collectivised Farming
|
Eradicate Unemployment
Comrade Caramel is dissappointed with the relatively high unemployment rate. How can we call ourselves a workers' state if we do not provide jobs for our people? With wage setting we can ensure labour will be cheap, allowing us to rapidly reduce unemployment to zero. Production is expected to increase substantially.
|
|
No Unemployment
|
Establish Military Commissariats
We must do everything we can to ensure our liberated country does not fall. We shall found a new agency whose responsibilities will be mobilization planning, soldier drafting and training. Every young citizen will be required to report to the local commissariat for assessment for military service.

Rijekan Socialism
Nova Whirl is finally fulfilling her dream of making the River Republic into a unique socialist state that retains a market economy. The economy is growing and life seems better now as exploitation and oppression are vanishing from society. But she has another dream as well: Spreading this utopia to the rest of the Riverlands.
|
|
 Our Own Socialism
The River Republic is now a unique market socialist state. People are happy and the economy is growing strongly.
|
Economic Autarky Plan
We are surrounded by anti-communists on all sides. We must prepare for a worst-case scenario where they close their borders and make trade impossible. Science can be our saviour: To ensure self-sufficiency we can invest in resource-gathering technologies and synthetic refineries.
|
|
Rijekan Autarky
If Rijeka is ever isolated by foreign enemies, it must be able to survive on its own.
|
Urbanise Wild-Vodina
Coltstream has great potential of becoming a sister city of Rijekograd. Wild-Vodina is largely a rural state, so we should use subsidies to attract local farmers to move into the town and become factory workers. This way we will kill two griffons with one stone: Wild-Vodina will urbanize and Coltstream will grow into a proper city.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|

Urbanise Coltonia
Coltonia is another largely rural state, but it has two relatively large cities, Zagrep and Virmanevitica. Investing in eastern Rijeka and subsidizing new industrial cooperatives will ensure the cities grow even larger.

The Principles Of Market Socialism
No one can deny the benefits of having a market economy. It drives development and growth better than anything else. However, individuals are prone to exploit it to their own advantage. By gradually abolishing private ownership and introducing cooperatives and syndicates, every worker will be an owner who will receive their fair share of the profits.
|
|
 Market Socialism
Nova's sweeping reforms have abolished private ownership while keeping the market economy in place.
|
Establish Agrarian Cooperatives
We must not neglect rural regions, despite them being more conservative and opposed to our values. Private farms will be replaced with cooperatives and countless ponies who used to be workers will now become owners of farms. Resources and profits will be divided to each according to their need.
|
|
|
Unions In Politics
Now that we have introduced market socialism, the membership and power of labour unions has grown greatly. They are becoming increasingly active in politics, pushing for further social reforms and worker-friendly legislation. We should wholeheartedly welcome this development!
|
|
Unions In Politics
Labour unions have become very active on the political scene, often pushing for reforms.
|
Mass Industrialisation
Comrade Caramel's mass industrialisation program needs to be implemented at once! We must mobilize all our resources to expand our cities and their factories, then fill them with workers. Failure to fulfill new quotas will be considered treason and the guilty shall be punished accordingly.
|
|
|
Focus on the Military
The River Armed Forces are one of the most modern in the East, but that does not mean we can ignore its development. We must reform it for the future, because warfare is always evolving.
|
|
 Officer Training
|
Grand Army of the Republic
We should hold a military parade to not only show our citizens how great our army truly is, but to also boost its popularity which will get us many more recruits in no time.
|
|
 Grand Army Of The Republic
|
Finest Weaponry
The bread and butter of any army are the common infantryponies, so we should ensure they are all equipped with the finest guns of the east.
|
|
|
Death From Afar
Artillery is the foundation of modern warfare and has proven its usefulness time and time again. Only a fool would not thrive to make them better and better then they already are.
|
|
|
The River War Games
A large military exercise where all members of the River Coalition participate will not only strengthen our bonds, but will also give our ponies some much needed practice so that they are prepared for the real fight.
|
|
|
Fund Pegasus Flight Camps
While we are physically weaker than griffons, our pegasi have proven time and time again that they can fight evenly in the air, and what they lack in strength they make up in speed. Funding more flight camps will ensure our pegasi have the upper hoof in aerial combat.
|
|
|
Fund Unicorn Training Camps
Unicorns can turn the tide with their magic and many battles have been won thanks to them. We should fund more training camps for unicorns so they are capable to support the army even more than they already do.
|
|
|
Aid From Allies
Our friends in the Coalition have their own army traditions and modernization programs. We should ask them about their art of war and exchange our knowledge. This way we not only find out what they are doing, but also learn new strategies, tactics and training methods.
|
|
|
Mountain Guns
We have many mountains within our land, so we should make sure that our artillery is designed and built with that in mind. This will make our army able to rain shells on our foes from above.

Modern Transports
Thanks to combustion engines our soldiers no longer need to pull wagons on their own. These new vehicles are also fast and can traverse all kinds of terrain, only getting stuck in mud. Part of our military budget should be dedicated to increasing the use of trucks in the River Army.
|
|
|
Armoured Fighting Vehicle
There is a new innovation that is used on the battlefield in the west, the so called "tank", that has a great amount of potential. With armoured vehicles it is easy to strike at the enemy swiftly and break through defences that otherwise would be impenetrable. We should immediately begin researching these "tanks".
|
|
|
Better Doctrines for the Army
Our military doctrines are slowly becoming outdated and there are many new innovations in warfare that we do not yet understand. Sending observers abroad to study the most modern militaries should allow us to reform our doctrines.
|
|
|
Combined Arms
What our research showed us was clear: tanks and motorized infantry go hoof to hoof. The two must be combined into a single unit, but that is not all. We also have to make sure that we have the newest models out there, as what good do combined arms do if the arms are outdated?
|
|
|
Capable Officers
A good commander can lead a dozen sheep to victory against an army of wolves. We must ensure we have enough officers and that they are well-trained to fight a modern war.
|
|
Officer Training
|
|
Defensive Chief of Army
The most senior officer of the River Army must have a defensive mindset. The Riverlands have many natural defenses, such as rivers, mountains and forests, and it would be foolish not to utilize them.
|
|
(Genius)
|
|
Offensive Chief of Army
The River Army's leader should not foolishly rely solely on our defences, but must remain active for modern warfare is offensive and mobile warfare. We cannot allow our enemy to prepare attacks in peace, but harass them and break their lines.
|
|
(Genius)
|
Special Forces Battalion
We need to establish a unit dedicated to fulfilling special missions, during both war and peace. They will receive extensive, even dangerous training and be given our finest equipment to ensure they are the best of the best. All are invited, few are chosen.

Expand Coltovac Military Academy
If we wish to expand our army, we need to expand our officer training as well. The Coltovac Military Academy shall receive more funding from us, more student applications will be approved and more officers will be sent to teach the cadets.
|
|
 Expanded Officer Training
|
|
Promote the Best
Some of our new cadets have proven to be very promising. Once they finish their training, we should not force them to climb the ladders of ranks but instead immediately promote them to higher positions. We are lacking talented senior officers, and this will solve the issue.

Light Infantry Training
While modern warfare has greatly reduced the old distinctions between heavy and light infantry, we can still train some of our units to be specialized light divisions. They will lack heavy weapons and vehicles but are more tactically mobile and can execute missions in rough terrain and poor weather.

River Marines
Riverlands has -- as the name implies -- numerous rivers. They form an obstacle to many units, but not to marines who are specialized in amphibious assault and excel in crossing rivers with ease. Without a doubt, our army should include well-trained marine units.
|
|
|
Look to the Skies
Modern warfare will be about the skies as much as the land. Planes are not impeded by rough terrain or the many rivers that flow through our land. But before we can expand our air force, we will need to build proper airbases and an aircraft factory.
|
|
|
Riverland Bombers
We will focus on procuring new designs for a bomber aircraft. Tactical bombers combine the speed and agility of close air support with some of their strategic destructive potential of their larger brethren. Such a versatile plane will be a safe pick for the backbone of our airforce.
|
|
|
Riverland Interceptors
When the griffons will inevitably strike our nation, they will seek to fill the skies with their malevolent bombers. To counter this, we must develop a state of the art interceptor, capable of scrambling quickly to take out these threats to innocent pony lives. Our air force will be built around a core of interceptors and fighters.
|
|
|
The Skydiver Corps
We will train a group of fearless ponies to pilot a corps of special bombers. These close air support ponies will dive from great height to surprise and destroy enemy troop concentrations. Disrupting enemy supply chains and staging grounds will surely destroy the morale of our opponents. Of course we still have to actually build a plane capable of this...
|
|
|
River Rains Doctrine
We will bring the Riverland rains to the enemy! But they will find that it isn't water that falls from the sky, but a flood of bombs. The River Rains Doctrine will see us mass long range bombers and their escorts to destroy the enemy's vital infrastructure. When we can reach their homes, they will surely give up!
|
|
|
Aerial Wave Doctrine
To protect our dear homeland, we must make sure that no opponent makes it through to our country, both in the air and on the land. Waves of small fighters will protect us from enemy bombers and waves of close air support will mow down any catbird foolish enough to set their claws down in our land.
|
|
|
Beyond the River
To properly protect our country, we must venture forth beyond our home to meet our enemy head on. Bigger engines, better aerodynamics and larger fuel tanks will be needed to create the designs we need for the task. Let's let the designponies loose to see what they come up with.
|
|
|
From the Ground Up
Airplanes are expensive marvels of technology. The cost of bringing a gun into the air is much larger than the cost of having a larger gun on the ground. Fixed anti-air emplacements and ground based, towed anti-aircraft guns are an economical choice to protect our troops from enemy air raids.
|
|
|
Radio Detection
Our lands are vast and our planes can only patrol so much of our airspace. By using radar stations, we will multiply the effectiveness of our fighters, by making sure that our planes are in the right place at the right time!
|
|
|
Fill the Skies!
The fighters and bombers that we chose to be the backbone of our air force, need to be produced in greater numbers. The air war is a game of numbers and when it comes down to it, the country with the largest air force will rule the sky. With an optimised production process, we will make sure that we will not be out produced.
|
|
 Expanded Plane Production
|
|
Mouth of the River
We have secured a coast for ourselves, but without a proper navy, we will not be able to capitalise on this strategic opportunity. It is time to invest in our new coastal holdings to stimulate the construction of dockyards.
|
|
|
Dock Development Grants
We will encourage the construction of new dockyards with grants, as to ensure that we will have adequate port facilities in the future. A little conniving will go a long way to convince our stubborn Rijekans that the sea is the place to be.
|
|
|
|
Shipwright Training Program
We must set up a program to train all sort of naval support personal. Shipwrights, dockworkers, harbourmasters and more will be needed to support our ever growing fleet...
|
|
|
River Merchant Marine
Overseas trade is a staple of the modern world, but until recently was an avenue cut off for us. Now that our military fleet is well underway, we must ensure that we have enough transport ships for supplies, troops and resources.
|
|
 Convoy Mass-Production
|
Starting Small
We are new to the way of the waves, so let us not overcomplicate matters. A destroyer is the smallest military ship type and we should be able to start production relatively easily and get ourselves the beginnings of a fleet.
|
|
|
Out to Sea!
Cruisers are larger ships, worthy of the endless seas beyond our horizons. These ships will require more skilled ponies to make, but with dedication and time, our country will have its own cruiser!
|
|
|
Construct Battleships
A grand nation such as ours requires a grand navy. Prestige and honour is bestowed upon those countries who have battleships in their fleet. These proud ships break the waves with their large size and massive firepower. A fleet planned around a battleship is a fleet made for victory!
|
|
|
A Seaborne Air Force
Although seafaring is still new to us, we are more accustomed to the idea of an air force. Luckily, new breakthroughs in naval warfare have seen the rise of the aircraft carrier, a ship that acts as a mobile air base. The firepower of these planes ensure that this ship can strike beyond the range of any ship's guns and be a formidable threat to any fleet.
|
|
|
|
Strike from the Sky!
We will build our naval doctrine around these carriers. Our carrier planes will swarm the skies, while our fleet lies in wait, protecting our floating airbases. Without warning our squads of bombers will descend upon an unsuspecting fleet, sinking it before they ever reach any of our vessels!
|
|
|
Fleet in Making
Although our grand fleet is not finished yet, we will have a doctrine to project our naval force across the water. Our people once came from an ocean away, so we should not shy away from the deep blue.
|
|
|
|
A Naval Aviation Branch
We must make a separate branch of the navy that concerns itself with naval aviation. By placing experts from our air force and our new navy together in one office, they might learn to overcome the challenges that the air and the sea bring.
|
|
|
Project Oversize
We will endeavour to produce the biggest, most heavily armed battleships that could ever sail the ocean. Huge siege guns, massive engines and impenetrable armour will make it so that our monster ship will flatten anything standing in its way. Our foes will shake in fear when this giant approaches!
|
|
|
Flow Into The Sea
Truly, the destination of the river has always been the ocean. We have finally embraced our seabound destiny. Now that we have made the ocean our own domain, the world lies open to us! While water still flows through the rivers, we shall reach out over the ocean, into the wide world!
|
|
|
|
Continue Economic Reforms
Our economy grew greatly during Chancellor River Swirl's term. This development needs to continue, so more reforms shall be enacted to ensure our modernization.
|
|
|
Nationalize KONJČAR
KONJČAR is a manufacturer of electrical components and has grown quickly in recent years, yet has become rather indebted. We must secure the supply of vital parts by nationalizing the company and taking care of their debts.
|
|
|
Invest In Infrastructure
Riverlands are very mountainous, which makes roads expensive to build. Nevertheless, the importance of transport infrastructure cannot be overstated. Our national companies shall begin work immediately and connect our major cities and towns.
|
|
|
Support Machine Industry
The mountains in our country provide much iron ore, which is refined into steel and then into machine parts. Production of engines, turbines, gears, pistons, tools and more is a vital sector of our economy. Its growth shall continue stronger than before with governmental support: Investments, debt relief and nationalization.
|
|
|
Compulsory Education
During her last term River Swirl founded many public schools across the nation, but only a fraction of our foals attend them. A new law will make school attendance compulsory up to a certain age, for both fillies and colts.
|
The following will bypass the focus:

|
Equestrian Computing
During River Swirl's term some cooperation was established with Equestrian universities and schools, which were developing computing machines. Now our scientists are developing our very first analog computers based on western research. With our subsidies, they'll be able to make a breakthrough.
|
|
|
Connect Coltstream And Rijekograd
While a regular road exists between Coltstream and Rijekograd, a modern railroad should be constructed across the Griffking river. Coltstream will become more tightly connected to the capital, allowing increased commerce and industrial cooperation between the two cities.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Rijekan Arms Industry
Our military industry is average, but with the geopolitical situation changing it needs to improve. By imposing tariffs on foreign weapons and getting equipment for our army from domestic producers instead, we will encourage the growth of our arms industry.
|
|
|
Welfare Programs
Despite the growth of our economy many ponies continue to languish in poverty. With this new program we will pass a series of reforms aiming to improve the lives of our populace. Benefits, basic security and free public services for all!
|
|
|
|
Conduct Geological Survey
We already know our many mountains contain countless riches, but using modern methods to carry out a comprehensive survey of the land will allow us to know exactly where these deposits are and what their size is. After the survey, we must decide how to invest our limited funds.
|
|
|
Rijekograd Steelworks
Steel is the backbone of modern industry, and thus iron processing is important. Our mines already produce a great amount of ore and we found several rich deposits in our survey, but our steel mills are a bottleneck. They must be expanded at once! With our funds, new state-owned mills will be built in the capital, which will make us one of the greatest producers of steel in the East.
|
|
|
Aluminium Smelters
The survey revealed that Wild-Vodina has notable deposits of bauxite ore. Mining operations in the region must be expanded greatly and modern smelters built in Coltstream. Our aluminium production is predicted to grow rapidly with our investment.
|
|
|
Legalize Labour Unions
The legal status of trade unions has long been unclear. Now it is time for us to legalize and recognize them. They are clearly beneficial for not only workers but employers as well.
|
|
Labour Unions
We have numerous labour unions and most of our workers are their members. They ensure fair wages, good work conditions and a motivated high-quality workforce.
|
|
Increased Industrialization
The growth of our economy continues even stronger than before. Our policies have been successful and new factories are opened every month. Our nation will be truly prosperous and advanced, a true forerunner of the East!
|
|
|
|
University Of Rijekograd
The university of Rijekograd is among the oldest ones in the East. Now it will become one of the largest ones as well. More teachers, more subjects, more students from all across the Riverlands, along with increased student exchange with our western pony relatives.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Rocket Engine Experiments
Some scientists in the Rijekograd university have begun developing advanced combustion engines that can propel objects over a great distance. It might be wise for us to support this program with state funding.
|
|
|
Might Of Crystals
While we already recognize some of the potential in the magic stored in crystals, our researches suggest we have grossly underestimated it. Done correctly, it might be possible to overload the crystals with magic and unleash it by breaking them, which would result in something... horrible. Perhaps we can take advantage of this. |
|
|
Dawn Of The Crystal Age
Crystals are becoming an increasingly important part of our society as we learn to understand them and their secrets better. They allow us to unravel the inner workings of magic and use it in ways never imagined before. Truly, a new age is dawning for us.

 Treaty of Coltstream Member
This state has signed the Treaty of Coltstream. In 898 the River Coalition was founded, following Emperor Grover II's destructive invasion and the continuous raids by neighbouring griffons and deer. The founding members of the treaty were Lake City, Bakara, River Republic and Nimbusia. Although the treaty has been mainly a defensive alliance since its inception, some politicians and their supporters advocate to expand the treaty to allow for more cooperation between the states of the River Coalition. The River Coalition is primarily a defensive alliance. Therefore, member states cannot join offensive wars unless they are waged by the Coalition leader.
