| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects |
|---|---|---|
Decentralised Command Structure
Some griffons, both in the army and out, have began to promote the idea of a less centralised army. While this would reduce our army's effectiveness overall, it would both allow more fluid tactics on the individual level as well as paving the way for new tactics.
|
|
 Decentralised Command
|
The Orthos Contract
Orthos Motors, one of the most prominent companies in their market, could be made useful to the military as well. With the help of their expertise, we could design better tanks and create the factories necessary to produce them.
|
|
|
Pantser Experiments
While many may have seen tanks as useless in the past, tactics are changing in modern times, and with them priorities. To keep up with modern times we must evolve both our technology and tactics, and with it develop new hardware through experimentation.
|
|
|
Heavier Plating
While lighter models of tanks are useful against infantry, it is clear that against other armour or heavier fortification they are underwhelming. We need to design a heavier tank, with more tough and thick armour and a better build.
|
|
|
Mass Tank Production
Through our experimentation with tanks and our cooperation with our corporations, we have developed an extremely efficient method of producing tanks, with little wasted in time or resources.
|
|
 The Forges of Skyfall
|
Mobile Warfare
Tactics must change with the times, and it is clear to us that maneuver is the way of the future. With more and more developments in vehicular warfare, it would be unwise for us to stick to the old tactics- we should begin shifting towards a more modern way of thinking about war.
|
|
|
The Cult of Speed
Speed is everything in war- or so some in our military say. With our focus on maneuver warfare we have also began to engrain the idea of the supremacy of speed in some, leading to them pushing the limits of our divisions and developing ingenious ways to further the speed and reduce the logistical limits of our armies.
|
|
 Snelheid Cultus
|
Everyone Must Do Their Part
While our economy is mighty, our army is not- we are a small nation surrounded by giants, with our backs to the sea. If we are to maintain our independence we need to focus on mobilising the masses in defense of their country, with propaganda promoting the common good of Skyfall.
|
|
|
The Citizen Soldier
We shall glorify the idea of the citizen soldier- of the common griffon who joins the fight for his country, fighting with fury for his homeland. And through this, the idea we propose shall become real in the hearts of the people, and therefore become a true reality.
|
|
 De Burger Soldaat
|
Autonomous Officers
While the paradigm has long been that command structures should promote heirarchy, we have moved in the opposite direction. With our focus on the individual unit, whether armour or infantry, we have given more power to the individual officer than we have to the command structure which used to hold the army together. We must adapt and accept this change.
|
|
Decentralised Command
|
Buyout Armouries
There are many factories in our nation which could be of use to our burgeoning military, and yet are controlled by the private market- this can be fixed easily, with a few buyouts and a few encouragements to sell them.
|
|
|
Doctrinal Development
In the past our military doctrine has been unspectacular, a reflection of those around us rather than our own. However, with our recent developments we have began to create a doctrine which, while not unique to us, is in some ways our own, and with this we have began to explore the possibilities of our doctrine further, and should promote doing so.
|
|
|
The Spearhead
The concept of a spearhead, while not new, has been revolutionised by developments in armoured warfare and as such should be incorporated into our new doctrine, developing it further and making our offensive maneuvers more effective.
|
|
 Het Speerpunt
|
Esprit De Corps
Comraderie, honor, duty- whatever it may be, the common spirit of our army must be promoted, so we shall have a unified and motivated fighting force prepared to fight.
|
|
De Burger Soldaat
|
Support Squads
With our focus on smaller entities within the army, the importance of support squads to help our divisions has become more important and so more resources should be put into developing new equipment and tactics for these support squads.
|
|
|
The Freie Knechten
For all its wealth, Skyfall is a small country from which we can only conscript so many soldiers. Fortunately for us, there are soldiers willing to fight for money. Let us invite the famed Leopard Company to serve us.
|
|
|
Le Carnaval Magique
Pony nations have always had one advantage over Griffonian ones: magic. If we can hire some mercenary unicorns, we can harness their magic of destruction to gain an edge on the battlefied!
|
|
|
Oi Myrioi
While Griffonian warfare has evolved somewhat away from exploiting our natural ability to fly, the Nimbusians have almost turned flying infantry into an art form. And a mercenary called Cloud Jet is offering us his expertise.
|
|
|
Centralised Command Structure
To further the effectiveness of our army we first must strengthen our command structure, further centralising it and allowing for a better organised army. Though this may reduce our tactical flexibility, it is worth the cost.
|
|
 Centralised Command
|
An Endless Barrage
Artillery has never failed us in the past, and as such we should focus more on it. Using our strong economy, we can create mass artillery which can overwhelm the enemy- our doctrine should be a reflection of this.
|
|
|
Overwhelming Firepower
Why throw good griffons to their death when we could launch shells instead? By taking advantage of our economy to overwhelm the enemy with bombardment and bullets, we will not provide them any time to recover from our attacks- allowing us to easily defeat them.
|
|
 Overweldigende Vuurkracht
|
The Classics
There's no need to fix what isn't broken- and the classical tactics of superior planning and preparation are the safest way to go, as a cunning plan can win many battles which seem lost.
|
|
|
A Plan For Everything
The great minds of our military staff will be forever at work, hatching plans for any scenario, no matter how unlikely- and through their ingenuity we shall keep our nation prepared.
|
|
 Groots Oorlogsplan
|
A Grand Army
Our army must be grand, and it must be organised- these two things are certain, and must be promoted above all else. For if the army falls into disarray, or there are no griffons to use the guns, nothing else will matter.
|
|
Centralised Command
|
|
Motorisation
Warfare has always required flexibility, modern warfare more than ever. While infantry provide some of this, implementing motorised infantry either in support roles or in their own units will help to provide much-needed speed on the battlefield.
|
|
|
Radio Implementation
The radio is a marvelous invention, and perfect for our army. Through its use we can maintain our command over vast distances, and transfer information from one side of the country to the next. We need to take advantage of this at once, lest our enemies do so first.
|
|
|
Complete Annihilation
Our artillery will fill the skies, their steel rain supplied by the mighty industries of our nation. Never will the enemy be safe from our oppressive firepower, annihilating any resistance from our army's advance- or preventing any push into our homeland.
|
|
Overweldigende Vuurkracht
|
|
Dig In And Pray
Our infantry must always be prepared to dig entrenchments and follow orders, frontline engineers preparing fortifications as their officers plan for the next offensive.
|
|
Groots Oorlogsplan
|
The Lionwares Buyout
Lionwares Cannonry of Wonders, a company which produces, well, cannons- has quite a few factories. Factories with trained workers, specialised equipment, all of which would be perfect for our artillery guns- with a little persuasion and a good bit of money, we will be able to purchase this company for state use, and put it to use making our guns.
|
|
|
Cannons of the Modern Age
Our guns have become outdated, and this cannot do. We need to focus on updating our artillery in order to maintain a competetive fighting force, and not fall behind.
|
|
|
Taskforce 141
While our army is fine, it is lacking in divisions dedicated to specialised tasks. While we have some veteran marines, little else exists- this must change if we are to establish a further presence in the skies and sea.
|
|
|
The Nebelwerfer
The Nebelwerfer- a smoke mortar- is a hypothetical weapon idea that has been brought to us for further development. In concept used for throwing smoke shells, it also would be useful for everything from High Explosive rounds to different gas-based payloads.
|
|
|
New Armouries
Our old factories have served us well, but to take advantage of the new generation equipment we are developing we need to build new factories to produce them.
|
|
|
|
The West Beak Military Academy
As we develop our army, we need both to promote developments in our weaponry and tactics, as well as training new officers and soldiers. As such, the idea has been pitched for us to create a new military academy- one which could help train our officers and those creating new technologies for us to use.
|
|
|
The Power of Crystals
While magic technology has been mostly untapped in our army, there is a steady supply of crystals in the northern hills we could easily purchase for use. Magical weaponry might give us an edge over our enemies, and so the idea of developing our own magical rifles has been brought forth.
|
|
|
The Meeting
It is once again time for a meeting of the trade council, where representatives of the various businesses meet along with the Chancellor to discuss matters of finance in the city. However, with the Chancellor's growing frustrations and waning ability may cause issue in the coming meeting.
|
| |
Our Prosperous Little Nation
The Chancellor has made his decision. With his ability to hold on to complete power fading, he has put his trust in the merchants which are the lifeblood of our society, in hopes of bringing further wealth and prosperity to our nation. His grip on the nation's politics remains strong however, and while he is around no transfer of power will be made, only concessions.
|
|
|
Liquidate Unprofitable Assets
Supporters of austerity have petitioned the government, claiming that unprofitable and useless assets are leading to economic issues for the state. Primarily supported by bankers and economists, it has been brought to the Chancellor's consideration, and he must decide whether to act on these requests.
|
|
|
The Golden Brand
Reputation means very much in business, and our industry knows this. Though unpopular with protectionists and domestic talent who are passed over, companies, especially that of Heinrich Kessler, a prominent industrialist famed for his strict quality and innovative industrial techniques.
|
|
|
Address Businesses' Funding Schemes
Skyfall business is booming. However, much of our prosperity has been founded on debt financing, something which may not be sustainable on the long term. Fortunately for Skyfall, Guichard has a plan. Guichard always has a plan.
|
|
|
The Changeling Supply
Hippolyte Bechard, a rather unscrupulous griffon but nonetheless a powerful one, has approached us with an offer. For a minor price, he claims that some friends of his would be able to accrue us Changeling tanks and fighters, helping with efforts to modernise the military.
|
|
|
The Golden Griffon Cigarettes
Along with the many luxury goods we produce, cigarettes are one of our most popular exports. However, at the request of our 'friends', we have lifted some restrictions, leading to a further boom- primarily lead by Whitefeather, who has established a very popular cigarette line which customers cannot seem to stop buying.
|
|
|
Let the Money Flow
With our reforms completed and our capitalist allies sated, the Chancellor can finally rest and enjoy the fruit of his labor. With the economy booming and trade following suit, our nation is sure to grow to new heights in the world.

|
Our Beloved Chancellor
The fools of politics go on and discuss their plans, take from the poor give to the rich, take from the rich give to the poor. Guichard is sick of it all, let the fools blabber and talk. For the Iron Chancellor doesn't talk, he acts.
|
|
|
Hunt the Syndicalists
The Vakbonden threat has for a long time been a thorn in the side of Skyfall, and when you have a thorn stuck to your thigh you do not let it fester and get infected. You pull it out no matter the momentary pain, let the syndies run for the hills as we hunt them down.
|
|
|
Deal With the Ringleaders
The left screeches for the want of equality, the right screeches for the want of Boreas. Two chickens playing a dangerous game that ruins all it touches, but no more. Cut their heads, deal with the ringleaders. Let them become headless chickens until they finally lose steam and drop dead in the ground.
|
|
|
Suspend The Council
Fools as secretaries, idiots as advisors dropped so many times I believe their skulls are still cracked. The Council will be closed only to those that the Iron Chancellor himself supports. No longer shall the idiots whisper into Guichard's ears.
|
|
|
Watch the Temples
The Boreasiste have their safehouses in the temples, closing the doors and discussing how next to ruin the nation. You cannot break into the house of god, but you can watch it carefully. They have to come out sometime don't they, and when they do we simply arrest them.
|
|
|
Hunt Down Desramaux
The Boreasiste have now for a long time been advocating for a theocracy within Skyfall, lead by Gertjan Desramaux who is nothing more than a puppet of Eros that pleads for power and control. A weak griffon who wants nothing more than power for a vapid goal of making his god proud. But Boreas prefers the wise to the fools.
|
|
|
Total Control
Finally, after all this time and work. Guichard's goals have been met, he has cleansed Skyfall of the ones who wish to ruin it, never shall the syndicalists nor boreasiste even think of doing anything to hurt this nation ever again. Truly, Guichard has saved Skyfall.

|
Our Ailing People
Under the advice of his niece Genevieve Guildedwing, our chancellor has decided to address the social question in our country. If no steps are taken towards reducing the crushing inequalities and woes of the working class, there will be no peace or prosperity in the future.
|
|
|
Charity
While some communists and left-wing thinkers rail against it, charity has always been a fine way to alleviate some of the pains of the most destitute members of our society. Let us indulge in some good old fashioned philanthropy!
|
|
|
Increase the Wages
According to reports, the average wage of the Skyfallian worker is barely enough to allow them to survive, let alone live decently. With the help of our newfound contacts among the vakbonden, we can craft a law to make sure every worker can at least "restore their labour power" as they say.
|
|
|
A Meeting With The Syndicates
For years now, the Trade Federation has refused to entertain the demands of the vakbonden and the labour movements at large. It's time to recognize that this approach failed - we need to, we must reach a compromise with the Syndicates if we are to have peace and prosperity in the Federation.
|
|
|
Feed the Poor
With poverty being so widespread among the working class of Skyfall, its natural consequence - hunger - has become an everyday issue in our cities. Let us make sure every worker can at least eat a warm soup.
|
|
|
Issue An Apology
Our split with the Empire has caused significant tensions with the Temples. With the Emperor now dead, we should make amends and take steps to mend our relations with the clergy.
|
|
|
The Issues of Today
With the help of Genevieve Guildewing, Ghislain Guichard has rebuild a new image among the citizenry and gained a lot of goodwill from the labour movement. With such foundation, who knows what can be achieved?

The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
The Death of the Chancellor
With Guichard's death, the political landscape of Skyfall has been opened up for the first time since the Revolution. With the people sedated through the late Chancellor's donation, unrest that might come from such a change in power has been mostly avoided. With the office of chancellor now vacant, time will only tell who will take the Iron Chancellor's place.
|
|
|
The Captain of Industry
Heinrich Kessler, the most prominent industrialist in our city, is the most obvious candidate for chancellor. Dedicated to pushing industrial practices forward, he has become so dominant due to his innovative industrial tactics and focus on efficiency and precision.
|
|
|
Synchronization
Through carefully synchronizing every aspect of a production line, every aspect of production is improved; speed can be increased, there is not a need for as many workers, and less resources and time is wasted. By spreading this practice we can help improve our nation's industrial capacity.
|
|
 Synchronization
|
|
Precision
Precision is extremely important in industry- no flaws are to be accepted in a self-respecting business. It is through this maxim that we will maintain our reputation as the producer of some of the finest goods in the world, and through which our industry will stay dominant.
|
|
|
|
Specialization
The modern production line, as utilised in our factories, cannot function unless specialised. Through specialisation we allow the same tasks to be performed repeatedly, allowing for standardized and quality products at an impressive rate of production- specialization will bring our industry to new heights.
|
|
Specialization
|
|
A Living Wage
As our industry grows and more and more workers flood into our factories, the appeal of unions grows with them. While a more brash griffon might simply put these down with threats, our chancellor knows better. Through raising the wages of the workers to a more liveable sum, he will discourage the formation of unions and encourage company loyalty.
|
|
 Social Inequality
|
|
The Banker
Ferdinand von Hochsklaue is one of the most powerful griffons in the city of Skyfall, with heavy influences throughout the banking industry. Believing that the government's prime concern should be economic policy, and a firm believer in the power of money in politics, he promises a future of stability and wealth for the businesses of Skyfall to thrive in.
|
|
|
The Political Machine
With power achieved, we need to make moves to secure it. By setting up a hierarchy where lowlings are rewarded for helping our cause, all leading up to the chancellor himself, we can establish a solid political base.
|
|
 The Political Machine
|
|
Fill the Reserves
Our government is entirely reliant on the idol, and as such we need a safety net in case of a crisis. Our national reserves have much room to spare, and by aggressively liquidating government assets and rallying donations from powerful griffons we can maintain a full treasury, and therefore national security.
|
|
|
Into the World Once More
With the death of the Iron Chancellor and von Hochsklaue's ascension to power, Skyfall is once again ready to face the world. Our government has stabilised and we have a bountiful treasury, both of which will help us maintain our secure position in the world.
|
|
|
Money To Power
The idol is the most important figure in Skyfall- above the chancellor, and above the state itself, all power flows from the idol. This, von Hochsklaue believes, must be acknowledged- and only be acknowledging it can one truly understand our society. With his control of the idol, he truly controls the nation.
|
|
 Money to Power
|
|
The Mercenary Lord
Hippolyte Bechard, a backhanded arms dealer with an impressive number of 'friends', is both powerful and dangerous. With a firm hold over Skyfall's arms production, and heavy ties around the world, he stands in a position to achieve his ambitions- a truly merchantile army, with him as its lord.
|
|
|
Bechard Armurerie
To create a grand army, one requires guns- and what manufacturies Bechard already has simply will not do. To help fuel Skyfall's growing army, more resources must be diverted to arms manufacturing and creating more military industry.
|
|
|
|
Generous 'Donations'
Bechard's profits do not usually come from 'legitimate' business, and this presents a problem for a supposedly righteous head of state- how is one to maintain a good reputation while their money comes from disreputable places? By routing illicitly gained funds through 'generous supporters' we can disguise them as donations- fooling the untrained eye.
|
|
|
|
The Skyfall Foreign Legion
While many griffons throughout Skyfall would like to join the army, the numbers are not high enough. While Skyfall already has a large immigrant population, by actively employing foreigners with generous pay into the Légion Étrangère, divisions comprised of both domestic and foreign recruits, we can bolster the size of our army.
|
|
|
An Army For Hire
With our army finally at a respectable size, and our payments to them leaving us as a loss, we must begin to put them to use. Skyfall lies in peace for now, but brutal war wages throughout the continent and indeed, the world- these nations at war no question need soldiers, and Skyfall's are perfectly suited for the task.
|
|
 The Foreign Legion
|
The Kingpin
Walter Whitefeather sits as the king of Skyfall's underground- he has subjugated the competition in his business and the late chancellor's generous reforms have allowed him to flourish even more. However, with the seat of power opening up, so does an opportunity- an opportunity for Skyfall to truly embrace the most profitable of business.
|
|
|
Branch Out
While drugs are highly profitable, they are not the best of vices for a growing society, nor the best business for expanding. Though the heart of his empire will always be narcotics, the chancellor has begun to expand into alcohol and smuggling, providing him a more stable base to fall back on and allowing him room to expand in other sectors.
|
|
|
|
Control the Underworld
With Whitefeather ascendant to power, he now has the ability to secure his base- the underworld. Though he already has a high level of control, there is still some competition, though they will not last long with his chancellorship. Once he has completely taken over the underworld, he will be prepared to make moves to secure his power over Skyfall in its entirety...
|
|
|
Blue Sky
Chemists under Whitefeather's employment have made a brilliant discovery- an extremely potent form of methamphetamine, ready to be produced and exported to his desperate customers. This extremely pure form of the drug will surely be a hit, and a great boon to the kingpin.
|
|
 Blue Sky
|
The One Who Knocks
With Whitefeather's growing power, a reign of terror has begun. Those who dare to oppose them find themselves in the same scenario, in which there are two griffons- the one who knocks, and the griffon who is shot. Whitefeather and his adherents have made sure to be the ones knocking.

The Biggest Little City in Griffonia
With the new chancellor's first reforms complete and Skyfall's path set as sure as the ships who sail from her mighty ports, it is time for the nation to move forward and look to its position in the world at large.
|
|
|
|
The Finest Technicians
Though the practice of hiring foreigners to improve our products has already become commonplace, it has not been until our recent look outwards that we have managed to attract truely great minds. From across the world, we can attract finely skilled creatures to work on our products, to improve our reputation even more, and help us develop new innovations.
|
|
|
Black Gold
With Feathisia's bountiful oil fields lying just to our east, we have often looked on in envy. However, with our increased attention from foreign experts, an opportunity surfaces- the opportunity to invest into the brave frontier of synthetic fuel. Not only can we use this technology to supply our own country, we can sell our product to other countries, joining our neighbor in the great profits of the oil industry.
|
|
|
Technocratic Principles
Technology has brought Skyfall to great heights, allowing our businesses to flourish through innovation, and bringing us some of the first factories in Griffonia under our prosperous capitalist system. We should embrace this and encourage technocratic principles and thinking in business and in our government, by promoting invention throughout the country.
|
|
|
|
War is a Racket
War may be horrible, but if it's going to rage anyways, why not profit off of it? With our armouries full of weapons and those of foreign nations empty, we should take advantage of this and sell our weapons to them at high but not unreasonable prices, sure to make us a nice profit.
|
|
|
The Home of the Industrial Revolution
Much of Griffonia is still backwards, full of illiterates and without proper industry. However, Skyfall stands as a stark contrast to that- a mighty industrialised nation, no doubt due our unique capitalistic way of life. This early industrialisation has given us a leg up on the rest of Griffonia, and allowed our industry to flourish.
|
|
|
|
A Haven for the Rich
With most business-minded griffons either being trapped in wartorn countries or under the boots of aristocracy or socialists, Skyfall stands as a haven for these griffons. With our lax taxation and regulations, high promotion of business and position as the 'port of Griffonia', we will attract these griffons from across the continent, bringing their money and ideas with them.
|
|
 A Haven For the Rich
|
The Busiest Ports
Our grand city is the crossroads between continents- much of the trade between continents and even on the continent flows through our docks and streets, and business across the world relies on us. Along with a myriad of other benefits, this has allowed our shipping industry to flourish and with it provided benefits to our navy.
|
|
 Center of the World
|
Federal Farms
Though we have previously relied on imports to feed Skyfall, with our growing population we should look to reducing our reliance on foreign produce. The fertile and (relatively) unexploited lands in the rural areas around our cities are perfect for this. While they are currently occupied by inefficient family farms, we could aggressively buy up their land to create more efficient federal farmland, perfect to feed our growing city.
|
|
|
Taxation is Theft
Taxes have long been a great issue for honest businessgriffs such as our chancellor, the state stealing the work of its subjects, and for what? With some... encouragement from other business in Skyfall, we should work on reducing the state's reliance on this outdated system.
|
|
|
Work For Your Bread
There is no such thing as a free lunch- or atleast, there should not be. Though the spineless harmonists and radical communists may see charity as simply helping those in need, we see it as what it is- promoting laziness and unemployment. By forcing these do-nothings to work for their food, we can help create a workforce to build up our great city, and stop letting these leeches drag our society down.
|
|
Broodwerken
|
Company Housing
Though landlords still dominate much of the housing industry in our country, there are more efficient ways to organise things. By promoting the use of company-provided housing, workers will be more efficiently organised and our business will benefit from more control over their employees.
|
|
|
|
A New Workforce
With our workforce growing both as eager to work immigrants arrive and more griffons take up even more work, our nation prospers. With companies being forced to pay less and having high levels of control over their workers, Skyfall is growing quickly and so are its businesses. We have defined a new way to organise labor, perfect to help our nation thrive.
|
|
A New Workforce
|
Come On Down to Skyfall!
With our chancellor's most important reforms complete, Skyfall has emerged from the power vacuum with a new, prosperous path. The home of some of the wealthiest creatures on the planet, and with an ever-increasing influence throughout the world as business spreads, Skyfall has taken its rightful place as one of the world's most prosperous cities.
|
|
 The Biggest Little City in the World
|
|
Fund the Fleet
The water is the blood of the federation- our great city overlooks the ocean, our trade flows through her sealanes and new people arrive from her every day. And yet, our navy has fallen into disrepair- this must change, for if we lose control of the sea, we lose control of everything dear to our nation.
|
|
 The New Budget
|
Horst's Naval Aviation
Horst Whitefeather is the primary force behind the idea of naval aviation within our navy. A strong proponent of carriers and the supremacy of naval bombing, he wishes to use this opportunity to transform our navy into what he sees as a modern, superior force based on carrier warfare.
|
|
(Genius)
|
Giraud's Grand Battle Fleet
Silvain Giraud is an admiral who has always believed in the superiority of battleships. He wishes to use this new wave of funding to bolster our fleet and create a grand, mighty navy of capital ships.
|
|
(Genius)
|
The Naval Aviation Department
In accordance with Whitefeather's plan, we need to focus not only on developing superior ships, but also on the planes to fit them. We need to create bombers which can more easily be used on carriers and in naval combat, to take full advantage of our new naval direction.
|
|
|
Heavier Cruisers
Cruisers, while not as strong as battleships, are still useful and should not be overlooked. By developing a new line of especially heavy cruisers, we can support our main fleet with less expensive but still effective heavy ships.
|
|
|
Patrol Boats
We need to develop new destroyers so that we can better patrol the coast of our nation. While these might not be as impressive as our capital ships, they are nonetheless vital to our efforts.
|
|
|
New Cruisers
Our cruisers are, like the rest of our fleet, outdated. Whether we need heavy cruisers to bolster our fleet or light cruisers to support it, we need to develop new cruiser models.
|
|
|
The Grand Fleet
Our fleet must be grand, and to do so the battleships that it centers around must be the mightiest on the continent- we shall ensure that our battleships are top of the line even as technology advances.
|
|
|
Expand the Shipyards
While we have updated our ships, we still need the shipyards to produce them. We need larger ports, greater production and more funding for our naval construction to develop a fleet to truely wrest control of the waves.
|
|
|
Finish the Guichard Plan
Time has come to complete the chancellor's plan, focused on modernising Skyfall's carrier fleet to make it competitive in modern naval combat. While we have been working on the plan for long, time has come to finally complete it with a push towards truly modern carrier design.
|
|
|
|
Fourty Centimeters of Destruction
Our new ships need new guns to go with them, and so we need to modernise our weaponry as well. With the development of a strong 40cm battery to fit our ships, we will make sure that our ships have guns strong enough to compete.
|
|
|
Enchanted Plating
A rather novel idea combining griffon magic of enchanted machinery and new magical technology, it has been suggested by some that we could enchant the plating of our ships to make them more resistant to fire. While an unconventional idea, it may very well be useful.
|
|
|
Some Interesting Friends
The seas are ever changing and so is piracy. Old pirates retires while daring new ones take their places. A true circle of horror for merchants. However, a new face has shown interest in cutting a deal with us. Her name? Amethyst Rose

The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
While many oppose the idea of being host to our 'friends', surely noone could oppose the move if they were not aware of it. By keeping our friends secret from most, we can reap the benefits of their cooperation while still maintaining the opinion of those who might object.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
The Smugglers of Skyfall
|
Modern Corsairs
Our friends require specialty tools to complete their jobs, tools that we have not given the proper attention to in the past. Not only will we help our friends with our developments, we could also put them to use in our navy.
|
|

Letting Some Things Slide
The city of Skyfall is a large and bustling place, where many may not notice finer details as they go about their busy lives. Surely, noone would notice if we were to use a building or two for something illicit?

With our expanding navy, we must also develop the officer corps which will lead our ships. Without good military education and a well-outlines naval doctrine, our mighty fleets will be uncoordinated and useless. As such, we should invest in the future of our navy and encourage new admirals.
|
|
 Skyfall Admiraliteit
|
The U-Boat
While we primarily have focused our naval rearmament on the high seas fleet, submarines are still quite useful and should not be ignored in our efforts, as they have so far.
|
|
|
The Naval Infantry Corps
If we are to truly control the seas, we cannot do so with our navy alone. While we may be able to project our power on the sea, the coasts of our enemies will be out of the reach of our ships- we must develop a specialised corps to deal with naval infantry operations.
|
|
|
The Long Lance
Our latest torpedo design, nicknamed "The Long Lance" by some, is one of the most advanced in the world. This oxygen-propelled torpedo will give our destroyers a great advantage, with greater range and power than typical torpedoes.
|
|
 The Long Lance
|
The Iron Chancellor
A culmination of our efforts to revive the federation's navy, we shall unveil a battleship- named "The Iron Chancellor" in honor of Guichard. Not only will this be a celebration of how far our navy has come, but will also serve as a fantastic opportunity to bolster public support.
|
|
|
The Shipyards of Griffton
While most of our new shipyards have been in the north of the country, Griffton has several sites which would make ideal shipyards. We should take advantage of these opportunities to increase our naval production.
|
|
|
|
Griffonia's Grandest Fleet
Few contest us on the continent of Griffonia, and even fewer have managed to create as grand a fleet as ours. With our grand fleet we can finally control the waters which we so need, with no nation our equal on the waves.
|
|
 The World's Most Powerful Fleet
|
|
Aquileian Fighters
We have little experience of our own with aerial warfare, and it is important that we quickly get some sort of air force. To the south, the Aquileians are experienced, and have developed many useful designs of aircraft. Perhaps they would be willing to sell us a few to jumpstart our airforce?
|
|
|
Imperial Bombers
The once mighty Griffonian Empire is no stranger to war, and as such has atleast some experience in most matters of it. As such, we may be able to procure some of their bombing craft for the use of our own air force.
|
|
|
Our Own Fighters
While the help of the Aquileians in starting our air force cannot be understated, it is time for us to begin developing a domestic air industry so that we can keep up with the rest of the continent.
|
|
|
Supporting Our Troops
While we have fighters to control the air, we still have no way to make use of it. It is time for us to develop specialised aircraft to support our infantry in combat, so we can make use of any control of the air we may gain.
|
|
|
Heavier Fighters
While our current fighters function fine, it may be possible for us to improve them. The highly developed and small area of our nation means that perhaps heavier, more powerful aircraft could be useful, allowing us to more easily control the air while issues of logistics are solved by our strong infrastructure.
|
|
|
The Krijgers
The development of a special paratrooper corps will allow us to infiltrate enemy lines with the help of our airforce, the brave griffons in the force disrupting enemy lines and allowing for those on the front to more easily push.
|
|
|
The Griffton Airstrip
The plains around Griffton make for a useful and safe location for an air strip, which will allow control of most of the federation's airspace from an accessible location.
|
|
|
Our Own Bombers
We need to develop our own models of bombers, so that we will be less reliant on the advancements of the outside world for our airforce. This will also allow us greater flexibility in our developing doctrine, as we can design our own aircraft for our goals.
|
|
|
|
Strategic Destruction
While our current bombers are relatively flexible, they aren't as effective at disrupting enemy logistics as well as they could. If we were to sacrifice the ability to support combat and focus on destruction, we could more effectively disrupt the enemy.
|
|
|
Changeling Bomber Designs
The changelings are far away, but not too far away for our merchants. With a little convincing, we could convince them to give us some of their spare bombers for our own use.
|
|
|
The RADAR
Radar technology is revolutionary, touching many aspects of warfare, especially aerial. If we fail to introduce the use of radar, we will be missing out on a crucial advantage.
|
|
|
Training Our Pilots
While we have began to develop superior models of plane, we lack skilled pilots to fly them. By beginning to train more griffons specifically to be pilots for our new aircraft, we will make sure that they are effectively used.
|
|
|
The Finest Pilots
By focusing even further on the training of our pilots, we can make a truly formidable airforce- our aces will be feared by all who fly in our lands, our fighters flown by only the most daring and well-trained griffons.
|
|
 The Finest Pilots
|
Utter Destruction
The ultimate purpose of the airforce is to support the army, and our doctrine must reflect that. We should focus on bombing enemy logistics and supporting our troops in battle, dropping waves of bombs that can obliterate most anything, whether it be enemy troops, buildings, or supply.
|
|
 Not a Tree Left Standing
|
Adopt the V-2
The V-2 is an experimental rocket engine which could hypothetically be used by our airforce. If we were to quickly adopt this innovation, we could quickly surpass the enemy through the supremacy of our technology.
|
|
|
|
Ontwaakt! Verworpenen der Aarde!
Now that our revolution has been successful we must act quickly to establish a working government. We shall hold a congress in order to determine government policy and to decide on a Chairgriffon.
|
| |
Chairgriffon Growder
Adalbert Growder has secured the position of Chairgriff, and now, it is time for this syndicalist republic to be reformed into a true socialist state. The chairgriff shall stand strong and powerful over a republic protected from reactionaries and radical anarchists, and the people of Skyfall shall finally know peace, unity, and justice.
|
|
|
Rile Up the Masses
In order to get support for Growder we must make use of his charismatic skills as an orator. The Centralisten have scheduled many public speeches and rallies to ensure support for Growder and his new dream for Skyfall. The oligarchy, the traitorous Altesburg supporters, and the fascists in the temples shall all be condemned.
|
|
|
Backroom Dealings
Growder's ascension to the position of Chairgriffon is not universally popular, and we know this. We must send out different congress members to start making some "mutually beneficial agreements" in order to secure our position.
|
|
|
Friends in the Volksmarine
One of the areas that Growder does have some support is in the ranks of the new navy. With the support of our comrades in the admirality, we can paint Growder as a true champion of our armed forces and the protection of Skyfall.
|
|
|
|
Extend the Chairgriffon's Authority
Even with our victory in the congress, we were forced to agree to some restrictions on the power of the Chairgriffon. It is time for us to ammend those agreements to give the Chairgriff the power to truly defend the citizens of Skyfall.
|
|
|
Volkscomité Voor Revolutionaire Media
Now that the Chairgriff has extended his authority, it is time to begin making some changes to the way citizens live. We can form a committee for the purpose of imbuing the citizen's lives with the fervor of the revolution constantly, so that they always remember the great justice the Chairgriffon did for them.
|
|
 Volkscomité Voor Revolutionaire Media
|
Comité Voor het Behoud van de Revolutie
In order to deliver unto the people the protection they deserve, we must maintain a standing militia. We can organize a network of brigades throughout the nation that answer only to the Chairgriff, to root out the reactionaries that would dare threaten the great socialist system we have developed here.
|
|
|
Volkscommissarissen
With the new authority of the Chairgriff wecan also make steps towards politicising our army, we can do this by mandating all companies to have a select few Griffons serving as political officers, to remind the Griffons what they are fighting for. If all of these officers just happen to come from our own political camp? So be it.
|
|
 Volkscommissarissen
|
Volkscomité Voor Openbare Veiligheid
A new government commission should be formed in order to protect the people from corrupting influences and those who would damage their integrity or freedom. It shall also serve as a secret wing of our police force dealing with elements who would try to tak away the freedom we make sure to give.
|
|
 Volkscomité Voor Openbare Veiligheid
Volkscomité Voor Openbare Veiligheid
|
The Skyfall Cultural Revolution
If we are to truly protect the people of Skyfall, we must make some changes. Not to any government wing, or our army, or anything else we can directly control. No. We must change our own people. The decadent, capitalist culture of skyfall shall be reformed, and a new culture of progress, revolution, and reason will ensure our nation is not corrupted by the oligarchs any longer.
|
|
|
|
Destroy the Reactionaries
The fate of all those who would harm the security of the people and it's revolution shall be death. Or kangaroo trial then death, one way or another.
|
|
|
|
Destroy Factionalism
The fate of all those who would harm the security of the people and it's revolution from within, shall be that they "agree" with us in the end. Or death, one way or another.
|
|
|
Restructure the State
Now that we have effectively complete control over the state apparatus it is time to cement our central rule as the final beacon of light in Skyfall, that all shall look to for guidance and knowledge.
|
|
|
Chairgriffon De Altesburg
Victory for De Altesburg
|
|
|
Calm the People
The revolution has caused an upending of Skyfall society, we must ensure that the people do not fear for their safety, lest the revolution fail to serve those it was made for.
|
|
|
|
One Big Ol' Union
De Altesburg has a lot of his support from the underground trade unions that exist in Skyfall, with this he shall pass reforms enshrining unionism in every profession to ensure the workers are always put first.
|
|
|
De Altesburg At the Podium
De Altesburg plans to go on a campaign of speeches across Skyfall to sure up support for his position as Chairgriff. In these speeches he shall speak of ideas and things to come, to show the people the value of democracy.
|
|
|
|
Enshrine Democracy
In order to prevent Skyfall's fall to tyranny in the future, we must make sure that all of our laws and codes enshrine the griffon's right to choose their own leaders. And to remove those leaders if it becomes necessary.
|
|
|
|
Forgive And Forget
De Altesburg made a lot of opponents in his campaign to become Chairgriff, but he would like to see them become friends, as you can never have enough ideas, and some of these Griffons may prove useful at some point.
|
|
|
Decry Extremism
It was the civil conflict and the dictatorial reign of the Iron Chancellor which brought us to the revolution! It was the accursed Boreaiste that almost lead this nation to ruin! No longer! We must never bend the knee to those who would rob the people of their freedoms!
|
|
|
Sociale Voorziening
In order to ensure peace and prosperity for all of the people, we shall establish a department of Social Services, dedicated solely to making the people's lives as comfortable as possible.
|
|
Sociale Voorziening
|
|
Duas Politica
In order to make the system truely fair we shall ensure workplace democracy as well as political democracy, and even combine the two! All unions within skyfall shall send a delegate to a national council, thereby ensuring representation for every workingriff
|
|
Duas Politica
|
A Schoolbook For Every Child
In order for our dream of democracy to come true, all must be knowledgeable enough to participate. Along this logic we must provide free primary and secondary education to all the children in our nation.
|
|
A Schoolbook For Every Child
|
|
Unban Non-Leftist Organisations
Now comes the dangerous part of our plan for Skyfall. For it to be a true democracy the people must choose their leaders from their own hearts. Not be limited by political cabals and powermongers. And so Chairgriffon De Altesburg has made it official that there shall be no limits on political expression in Skyfall any longer!
|
|
|
|
A Haven For All
Our goal to be a shining beacon of democracy is not one for purely our own citizens, but for all Griffons who wish to be free. With this we should open our borders to all those fleeing oppression and seeking a better life.
|
|
 A Haven For All
|
|
Our Shining Democracy
With the reforms of De Altesburg, we have finally achieved our great goal. We are now the great beacon on the hill that all shining democracies shall look up to for ages to come!
|
|
|
Chairgriffon Rosebeak
Victory for Rosebeak
|
|
|
Decry the Centralisten
In order to achieve our great Syndicalist ideal we must ensure that the power of a nation never falls into the greedy few who would abuse the idea of the people and use it against them. The Centralisten are such Griffons! We must denounce them in the strongest manner to ensure they never have the reputation to wrap their scaley claws around our nation!
|
|
|
|
Commemorate the Revolution
The Revolution of Skyfall was the greatest thing to ever occur and all must know this! We shall hold great public displays of Syndicalist victory to remind the people of their salvation!
|
|
|
|
Support From the Workers
The core of our support is the oppressed factory laborer, we must sure up our support with them by ensuring the continued prevelance of Union within our nation, as they are key to the changes coming.
|
|
|
Evolution
It is now time to begin our great project, the process of evolution for Skyfall. Evolution from a dictatorship, to the anarchy of revolution, to the corrupt oligarchy of the council controled by the damned Centralisten! Now is the final form of Skyfall's journey! True freedom in Syndicalism!
|
|
|
Abolish Wages
One of the first steps in the great evolution is the complete abolishment of wages. In this we shall make are the workingriff will never be without, as they shall take what they need and contribute what they can.
|
|
|
|
Ban All Political Parties
What is the need of political parties when you have the revolution? Your union is your political association and your comrades are your politicians!
|
|
|
A New Culture
We must work towards forging a new idea in the minds of our people, in order for them to accept the evolution they must realize that they are in control of our Syndicalist society. With this they must be ready to seize every liberty offered to them with open claws!
|
|
 Revolutionary Culture
|
|
Entrench the Unions
In our new evolving society we have no use for the idea of "business" or "profits". All shall be controlled by the various unions, who with the blessing of the government shall operate the economy in the service of the people and for the benefit of all citizens as a whole.
|
|
|
Educate the Working Class
A key point in the plan of evolution is that every Griff can receive a good job. For this we must provide every Griffon with a trades education that emphasizes syndicalist ideas of unionism and comradery.
|
|
Opleidingscommissie Voor Werknemers
|
|
Heal the Scars
Our nation still bears the scars of the great revolution, the bloody memory of the overthrow of tyranny. Before we complete the revolution we must ensure that all of these loose ends are integrated into our new system.
|
|
|
|
Comité Voor Het Behoud van de Revolutie
In order to protect what we have achieved it is imperative that we establish a form of military defense for the nation. We shall form a specific union dedicated to military affairs and the conduct and mobilisation of the armed forces.
|
|
Comité Voor het Behoud van de Revolutie
|
|
One Big Union
The period of evolution has now ended for Skyfall, and we have formed now into the great beacon of Syndicalism in the world. The nation that shall serve as a image for others to model themselves off of. The great union that is Skyfall!
|
|
|
Rode Leger
The congress of the unions has decided that we must maintain a strong, central, professional army in order to survive
|
|
Rode Leger
|
Implement Conscription
As much as we dread the idea of forcing the proletariat to fight, it is for the sake of their comrades that the good griffons of Skyfall shall fight for the nation's defense.
|
|
|
|
A Professional Officer Core
In order to ensure the nation's defense we must maintain a core of trained military griffs. As much as we love the idea of military democracy, there must be at least some griffons who know their way around a plan more then to simply "break the chains"
|
|
Professional Officers
|
|
Special Forces Initiative
As any good professional military we must maintain a corps of special forces for specialized duties that the normal infantrygriff would struggle to achieve.
|
|
|
|
Urban Warfare Training
Across Griffonia, and specifically Skyfall there exist a number of urban centers that could serve as serious obsticles to any necessary operations for our army. To avoid this we should train our soldiers in urban warfare so they can more easily protect and liberate these cities.
|
|
Infantry: Urban Movement: +5.0% Attack: +10.0% Defense: +5.0% Marines: Urban Movement: +5.0% Attack: +10.0% Defense: +5.0% Mountaineers: Urban Movement: +5.0% Attack: +10.0% Defense: +5.0% Paratroopers: Urban Movement: +5.0% Attack: +10.0% Defense: +5.0% |
|
The Sword of the Revolution
We have succeeded in building up the core of our military, and it now moves like a well oiled machine. We should continue our gradual reforms to advance the dream of the true defenders of socialism.
|
|
Rode Leger
|
Train the Troops
Regardless of how centralised our army shall be it will need officers. And at the moment it has none. So we must bring in more professional officers to lead our divisions and command our armies.
|
|
Defense Skill: 2 Planning Skill: 1 Logistics Skill: 2
Defense Skill: 2 Planning Skill: 1 Logistics Skill: 2
|
|
Massa-Aanval Doctrine
Our military doctrine should focus on the mass attack of griffons at enemy positions to crush our enemies with the great force of the revolutionary griffon.
|
|
|
Groot-Strijdplan Doctrine
Our military plan should focus on planning and defense of our positions to defend our citadel of the revolution.
|
|
|
|
Overweldigende Vuurkracht Doctrine
Our military plan shall focus on the use of guns and shells instead of the wasting of griffons lives against the terrors of modern war.
|
|
|
|
Appoint New Generals
Now that we have professionalised our military doctrine we can continue the acquisition of new generals to lead our new professional force.
|
|
Defense Skill: 2 Planning Skill: 1 Logistics Skill: 2
Defense Skill: 1 Planning Skill: 2 Logistics Skill: 2
|
Teach the Generals
Now that we have assembled a competent officer corps we should send them all through rigorous training in almost every type of war we can conceive of in order for them to truly understand battle.
|
|
|
|
Standard Issue Rifles
In order to simplify the task of equiping our army we shall develop a single standard rifle shall all soldiers shall carry, to increase the efficiency of our army.
|
|
|
|
New Arsenals
The challenge now is that Skyfall always used to acquire weaponry through oppressive capitalists and business contracts. So now we must build up a new military industrial base from scratch.
|
|
|
|
Dedicated Support Squads
In order to support our main troops we must ensure we train and deploy special battalions to serve as augments to our main divisions to improve combat effectiveness.
|
|
|
|
Untapped Potential
In each and every griffon body lies the ability to fly with wings and rend with claws. And we have only just begun to truly realize our true potential.
|
|
|
|
Magi-Tek Experiments
In the new age of modern war it helps to look ahead to new developments on the horizon. Foremost of these are magical weapons who have become increasingly researched across the world. It is clearly time to begin our own forray into this new field as well.
|

Cerconys' Bloedjagers
Socialism makes some... interesting friends
|
|
|
Infiltration Tactics
We can now put the knowledge of our new Comrade to use in practice on a wider scale.
|
|
|
|
Modern Artillery
A cornerstone of new war is how big can we make our guns. And we need to make sure we have the biggest and best guns possible.
|
|
|
|
RADAR Implementation
Brought on ships from Equestria and Stalliongrad we have begun to encounter new technology called RADAR. Using radio waves to detect objects at huge distances. This is definitely something worth investing in!
|
|
|
Cryptology
With other advancements in computing we should make an effort to enhance our encryption and code breaking, to be at the cutting edge of intelegence warfare.
|
|
|
|
The Nevelwepers
Following our research into traditional artillery styles one of our scientist had begun researching into other propelant methods. When other researchers found out they began to join him, the result? A new type of artillery to be used by our forces. One propelled by rockets!
|
|
|
|
Heavy Pantser Experiments
In order to sync our ideas of industrialism with our military, a few of the major unions within Skyfall have presented a plan to the government for a new tank prototype to be produced i their factories. And who are we to turn them down?
|
|
|
|
Motorisation Effort
We have recognised the challenges of modern war and are preparing a plan to introduce new motorized war into our armies.
|
|
|
|
Pantser Implementation
Continuing our motorization plan we should make an effort to introduce armored vehicles to regular use within our army, and begin production of more heavily armored tanks.
|
|
|
The West Beak Military Academy
Almost all of our recent military innovation has come out of the laboratories of the West Beak research center. We should offer this great institution further funding to continue their work!
|
|
|
|
Rode Militie
To secure the defense of Skyfall our army should consist of networks of militias who can be called to arms to defend the nation in times of need.
|
|
 Rode Militie
|
|
Reinforce the Militias
With the first set of militias being trained we have seen it fit to deploy them to the field immediately to defend the borders of our revolutionary stronghold.
|
|
|
|
Auxiliary Brigades
Since many of our militiagriffs work trades as well as being part of the army, we are positive they can assist the army in their own ways using their individual skills.
|
|
 Auxiliary Brigades
|
|
Sapper Training
Workers of explosive factories have recently approached the government and volunteered to organize themselves into specialized sapper units to help against fortified positions
|
|
Reconnaissance: +1.0 Breakthrough: +1.0
|
Volksofficieren
The concept of elected officers has long been a floated idea in Syndicalist circles, but now with our militia reforms we can finally make that idea a reality. We can trust the good griffons of our militias to elect the most competent leaders possible.
|
|
 Volksofficieren
|
|
The Shield of the Revolution
With the organization of our militia solidified, we can now construct a formalized structure of these militias to serve as the great shield to protect Skyfall from all threats!

|
|
Economic Centralism
We need to centralize and control our economy in order for it to recover from the chaos to reactionaries brought onto us!
|
|
 Initial Economic Recovery
|
|
Reign in the Unions
While the unions do represent a great economic idea, now that they are protesting the state instead of their capitalist bosses, we need to make sure they remember that they work for the good of the people. And that the state are those people.
|
|
|
|
Workplace Quotas
In order to avoid selfish Griffons from abusing the new workplace freedom afforded to them by the state unions, we should impose quotas on factories based on what they produce to make sure Griffs get the nudge they need to work as hard as they can.
|
|
 Workplace Quotas
|
|
Mass Nationalisation
Some factories within the country remain owned by private Griffons who owned their own small businesses before the revolution. While we appriciate their anti-oligarch leaning... we really need those factories. We can compensate you with a union job though!
|
|
|
State-Run Factories
With the nationalization of industry we should create a new state department for the purpose of effectively running these new factories. Just make sure they don't murder anyone.
|
|
|
Collectivisation
Now that we have gotten to work on restructuring our heavy industry we can now turn to agriculture. The farming estates of the rich and wealthy can be reorganized into collective farms run by the state and operation by groups of peasants. What could ever go wrong?
|
|
|
Economic Restructuring
With our industry and agriculture in order we can now establish systems where they work in consort to rebuild and repair our devastated nation. For the betterment of the people!
|
|
 Sluggish Economy
|
Arbeidersbrigades
During the revolution there were many enemy combatants and supporters that were captured. At the moment they are justing sitting in jail, and while we would love to just shoot them, putting them to work in "revolutionary education and labor battalions" seems better.
|
|
 Arbeidersbrigades
|
|
Centraal Planningscomité
With all of the elements of our labor force (including the criminals) now at our disposal, we should create a central body who's job it is to organize and direct the efforts of the state's labor programs.
|
|
Centraal Planningscomité
|
A Planned Economy
Taken strait from the manifesto of the Centralisten is a thirty seven and a half year planned economic model for the future of the nation. While many of its aspects like undersea eggplant farms are a bit odd, we can make sure to implement at least most of its ideas.
|
|
|
|
A Mixed Economy
As our arguments proved, capitalism is not inherently evil and wicked. Simply the evil griffons in charge of our nation previously made it as such. We should reform and rebuild around this model.
|
|
Initial Economic Recovery
|
Worker Self-Managment
Even though we not agree on everything with many unions, they are still an extremely key part of our nation and its economy, and we should strengthen their role in our industrial production.
|
|
 Worker Self-Managment
|
Workplace Democracy
In order to make sure that any capitalist that is allowed in our new economy treats his workers well and fair, we should grant the workers the ability to elect representatives to be able to challenge bosses for the good of the workers.
|
|
Workplace Democracy
|
|
Limited Capitalism
Allowing limited capitalist enterprises back into Skyfall will surely give our economy the boost it needs to head towards full recovery.
|
|
|
|
Private Owned Companies
We can return some of the economy to private ownership and allow them the persuit of profit, as long as they obey our strict labor regulations.
|
|
|
|
The Return Of The Entrepreneurs
Not all of those exiled in the revolution were the corrupt oligarchs, and two specific individuals in particular have come to our attention. They sailed into Skyfall today knowing they are marked for imprisonment and begged forgiveness and showed off their records of support for labor. They also carry with them large fortunes and good experience, which could easily prove very valuable.
|
|
|
Initial Recovery
Our reforms along with the help of our new friends has set the economy back on a better track, and we can now count Skyfall in the black for the first time since the revolution!
|
|
Sluggish Economy
|
Connect the People
For a long time the Oligarchs of Skyfall had ignored the countryside as simply an area to exploit and bring all its bounty to the city itself. But no longer! We should build new networks of roads across the nation in order to have the countryside share in our prosperity.
|
|
|
|
Welcome the World
We shouldn't shun the outside world any longer! We are a remade nation in democracy and fairness and we shouldn't be afraid to trade and mingle with others.
|
|
|
|
Market Syndicalism
This has truely been a Skyfallian miracle! The economy is now growing at an unheard of rate and the people are prosperous again. And while inevitably some of the crimes of capitalism may come, we shall fight them off again, but this time with the law on our side!
|
|
 Market Syndicalism
|
|
Orthodox Syndicalism
We must build a new economy on the ashes of the old with true syndicalist ideas and values!
|
|
Initial Economic Recovery
|
|
Revolutionary Land Reform
After seizing the agricultural holdings of the Oligarchs we can now redistribute them to farming unions who will then relegate it out to citizen farmers for their own use.
|
|
|
|
Mutual Aid
One of the most important issues argued by the unions is for a form of aggressive welfare between the union organizations, where unions will support one another in the event of economic downturn. Helping on another according to the need and ability of every union. This will free up state funds and ensure that our factories can operate at higher efficiency.
|
|
 Mutualism
|
|
Support the Unions
We must put our full trust in the unions, they shall make the greatest effort possible to repair our economy and to bring it into a new age!
|
|
|
|
Industrial Unionism
The industrial unions are the most powerful source of power for our regime, we should grant them further rights and they shall grant us their support in all matters.
|
|
|
|
Skyfall Transport Unions
The transport unions of Skyfall are new put powerful, controlling Skyfall's harbors, public transport, and rail lines. We should bring them under more direct government control to more effectively use their influence.
|
|
 Transportbond
|
|
Economic Stabilisation
With the distributing of economic power to the unions it has brought a stability to the economy. We can now embark on further reforms to bring us back to prosperity.
|
|
Sluggish Economy
|
|
Werknemersraden
In order to grant further representation to the workers we should create workers councils that represent the factories in a given area, to advise on how to increase the productivity of factories while still maintaining the rights of the workers.
|
|
Werknemersraden
|
Factories To The Workers!
We must codify into our laws that all factories are owned by the workers that work in them, and that any violation of that right is a violation of every worker in all of Skyfall!
|
|
Worker Self-Managment
|
|
A True Syndicalist Economy
Our reforms took much effort but are now bearing fruit. The unions have allowed for the productivity of our factories to increase over the long run, while the economic cushion they provide eachother has allowed us to free up funds for the building of new industries! Skyfall is back baby!
|
|
|
|
Adopt the Materialist Manifesto
While the influence of faith will always be present in our society we must take time to realize that in many ways it can hold us back. We must declare that religion shall have no place in governing the conduct of our government or our economy. And with this we can embrace the new world of science wholeheartedly.

The Volksmarine
In order for Skyfall to be safe it must also be safe from the sea. Luckily we secured the great fleet of the city when the revolution occured. We can now work to craft this into a machine of the revolution like one never yet seen.

Naval Aviation
Our Admirals hold two different perspectives on our naval strategy. One admiral proposes making use of air power to avoid needing to constantly repair ships damaged in head on combat. And that this will be the navy of the future. |
|
|
|
The Fleet of Syndicalism
Our Admirals hold two different perspectives on our naval strategy. One admiral proposes making use of Skyfall's industry to produce great beasts of steel, made to rule the waves and lead the Volksmarine! |

|
The First Naval Bombers
While the field of air-to-sea weapons is not inherently new, it is strongly underdeveloped. We should, make an effort to modernize our naval bombers to better assist our navy.
|
|
|
|
Heavier Cruisers
One could say the core of a fleet are the medium ships, the cruisers. Whether they are truely correct or not it is worth modernizing our designs to keep up with the times.
|
|
|
|
Patrol Boats
To protect the shipping lanes that still make up part of our new economy through trade with other socialist nations, we should create a coast guard made up of the most modern new patrol craft we can design.
|
|
|
|
Cruiser Developments
Lighter cruiser designs serve as a fleet's first line of response, and with this we should ensure our's can respond to whatever we need them to.
|
|
|
|
New Battleships
In order to truely control the oceans, we require new and modern battleships. No one will dare threaten our revolution when our gun can hit their city from kilometers away.
|
|
|
|
Rebuild the Shipyards
In order to maintain and expand our new navy we will need to reoutfit some of the capitalistic trade ports into industrial dockyards to serve our new fleet.
|
|
|
The Secret Fleet
In order to cut off capitalism we should endevour to build up a fleet of submarines to hunt down enemy trade and troop convoys. Drastically reducing the need for head on naval engagements.
|
|
|
Volkmariniers
While the naval war is important, wars are truly won on land. But we have a way to connect the two. It is time we modernize and expand our marine corps to ease the burden of amphibious operations.
|
|
|
|
Landing Craft
In order to secure safety for our marines, we should make advancements in landing craft to provide them with more security when hitting the beachhead.
|
|
|
|
Adopt the Long Lance
One of our naval researchers has developed a new torpedo that he claims is the most advanced in the world. And from observations he may just be correct. It is faster and can travel farther then any other torpedo we have, and therefore, most likely farther and faster then any torpedo our enemies have.
|
|
The Long Lance
|
|
Carrier Experiments
Whether or not we shall pursue them as our main naval doctrine, the importance of carriers in modern naval war should still not be understated. And so we should try to advance our carrier technology as much as we can.
|
|
|
|
Escort Craft
A new navy needs newer and better escort craft, and for this we need to research harder!
|
|
|
|
Guarding Our Coasts
Our patrol craft have done well to protect our coasts but we need something more... developments into mining technology will surely assist in keeping our coasts free of reactionaries.
|
|
|
|
Heavy Duty Plating
More armor means more ships survive which is more ships to shoot guns at other ships. Genius. |
|
|
The New Admiralty
Now that our navy is almost fully modernized it is time to reform how ti is run. Establishing a new admiralty will allow us to better coordinate and train our naval commanders to serve as the greatest bastion of the revolution on the waves!
|
|
Skyfall Admiraliteit
|
|
The Revolutionary Airforce
In order to completely secure the revolution we must make sure we can dominate the skies above our nation to ensure its safety. For this task we shall create a new military force the S.R.A.C. The Skyfall Revolutionary Air Corps to serve as our force in the skies!
|
|
|
|
Abellio Aviation
One of the first Oligarchs to leave the city was the chair of Abellio Aviation, a company that specialized in luxury aircraft for the rich to fly for their pleasure. We can co-opt their factories and facilities to increase the quality of our fighter aircraft and stick it to the capitalists!
|
|
|
|
Transavia Motors
Transavia Motors is an oddity as they are a tractor company owned by a farming family far from the city limits of Skyfall, the owner is widely considered insane by his neighbors for trying to build a "flying machine". But as he today flew an effectively made prototype into the city with plans to increase the efficiency of almost all of our Air Force's designs, we doubt anyone will call him crazy anymore.
|
|
|
|
Martinair Aerodynamics
Martinair is a public institute set up by the Iron Chancellor in some of the first few years of his reign, while we hate to use something created by that terrible griffon... it would be useful to develop our airforce in a professional style.
|
|
|
|
New Fighter Craft
The core of every air force are the fighters, they support our other aircraft and work to take down enemy planes. We should ensure we have the most advanced planes in the sky.
|
|
|
Air Training
Considering any semblance of a trained air force left Skyfall when the revolution occurred, we must redouble our efforts to train our pilots and air command in the most innovative doctrines there are.
|
|
|
|
Skyfall Airstrip
Skyfall shall serve as the epicenter of our air force, and for it to do this we must expand its capacity to serve as a base for our primary air wing.
|
|
|
|
Strategic Destruction
We may be an industrialised nation, but we are still a small nation and can not stand up to the industrial titans of the world. To remedy this we should strive to bring them down to our level by targeting their centers of industry with specially designed long-range bombers.
|
|
|
|
Tactical Bombings
Tactical bombers are effective and versatile at both industrial and anti-army bombings, we should invest in their development.
|
|
|
Napalm
A new air warfare weapon, both grusome and effective is taking form in laboratories across Skyfall. Napalm is a sticky flamable substance that can be dropped out of bombers to cause terrifying damage and destruction. As cruel as it may seem... it is useful.
|
|
Napalm
A volatile incendiary mixture, napalm burns everything indiscriminately, whether it's griffons, vehicles or buildings. An incredibly potent and terrible weapon, and we've begun utilising it extensively.
|
|
Close Air Support Wings
Creating aircraft specifically for the purpose of attacking ground targets will massively increase how effectively our airforce can assist the troops on the ground.
|
|
|
Heavier Fighter Craft
Heavy fighters can be used to escort bombers to their destinations or as strike craft against ground targets, such a versitile plane is worth our attention.

The Fate of Skyfall
With the Chancellor and syndicalist yoke both thrown off, the faithful boreasiste have taken the city. Skyfall is in a sad state- the temples have been weakened in the tyrant Chancellor's bid for power, and the people of Skyfall are downtrodden and without morals. It is up to our new government to restore Skyfall to virtuous glory- but first, we must decide whether to go it alone, or return to the empire.
|
| |
For the Empire!
With our capture of Skyfall, it is time to make the righteous choice. With the archon of Boreas himself at the helm of the Empire, it is time to return the shining gem of Skyfall to its rightful fatherland- the great Empire. For Boreas and the Empire!
|
|
|
|
Spread Imperial Propaganda
While we have returned to the empire, there are many- both within the Boreaiste and in the larger public- who doubt the legitimacy of the Empire's rule. We should begin working to spread Imperial loyalty and culture, beginning with state-run newspapers to spread our ideals.
|
|
|
Ban Prostitution
In the degenerate and morally bankrupt periods of the Chancellor, prostitution has become widespread. Now that we have taken back Skyfall, we are in a position to once and for all end this disgusting practice within our city, and return to order and decency.
|
|
|
|
A Culture Of Abstinence
Along with prostitution, alcohol and other degenerate forms of recreation have become widespread in Skyfall. While many of these have already been banned, the more common alcohol has not. While banning it would no doubt cause outrage, by promoting abstinence movements and a culture of temperance we can create a culture which will naturally avoid the substance.
|
|
 A Culture Of Abstinence
|
|
Temple Primacy
While we have returned to the empire, we are not a typical Imperial vassal. Unlike other areas in the empire, we have no nobility- no entrenched aristocracy. As such, we are in a unique position to assert the temples as both the primary force in governance and society at large, assuring a morally pure society where the will of Boreas is truly enforced.
|
|
 Temple Primacy
|
Crack Down On the Resistance
While we have emerged victorious in the revolution, many are still in open rebellion against our new state, with many more holding rebellious ideals in their hearts. If we are to truly solidify our control, we must act swiftly and begin to stamp out and sign of resistance, be it those loyal to the former chancellor or the syndicalists who still run rampant in Skyfall.
|
|
|
|
Fight the Vakbonden
The Vakbonden still hold significant sway over many, even after their defeat in the revolution. The overthrowing of the chancellor has emboldened their cause, leaving many anxious to overthrow our new government as well. We must work swiftly to crush the remainder of the syndicalist threat and once and for all purge Skyfall of their influence.
|
|
|
|
Defame the 'Iron' Chancellor
The so-called "Iron Chancellor" was a traitor to his nation and people, favoring his own violent quest for power over any morality. Even after his death there is still a remainder of the personality cult supporting him- who may see our government as somehow more illegitimate than his. We should make efforts to show the people the true dark face of the Iron Chancellor, so his propaganda will no longer deceive Skyfall.
|
|
|
Tighten Our Grasp
With the largest threats- those loyal to the late chancellor, and the treacherous syndicalists- both dealt with, it is time to make a move to further solidify our control, establishing stronger police patrols to bring order back to the city and nation.
|
|
Scars Of The Revolution
|
|
Arrest Growder
With his great skills at riling up the masses through fiery oration, Growder has always been one of the greatest tools of the communists. As long as he walks free we cannot be sure that the syndicalist threat is dealt with- so, we must deal with him promptly, and with utter efficiency. He cannot preach his lies from jail, can he?
|
|
|
|
Put the Oligarchs On Trial
The degenerate capitalists who ran the nation alongside the chancellor know nothing of morals- nothing of Boreas. They only know greed. Much like the Chancellor they aided, they only have ever desired power, and have always been nothing but a threat or pain to our temples... It is time for their reckoning, at the claws of a fair trial.
|
|
|
|
Boreaiste Militias
Our military is still weak after our recent victory in the revolution, unfit to deal with threats. We should organise many of the militias formed during the revolution into formal units, and raise new militias wherever possible, both to ensure internal order and defend from outside threats in this vulnerable time.
|
|
|
|
The Abwehr
If we are to defend from internal threats, we must establish a formal defensive measure against them- a police force specialised in collecting and utilising information on internal insurgent groups. This new task force, dubbed the Abwehr, a military counterintelligence group- will serve us both in peace and war against threats.
|
|
 The Abwehr
The Abwehr
|
|
An Imperial Garrison
While we have already formally rejoined the fatherland, the empire is yet to establish any long-term military presence in our lands. We should request a garrison be sent to ensure loyalty and help to quell any popular discontent against our government or the empire.
|
|
|
|
Invite Imperial Advisors
We should further our military ties to the empire, and invite military advisors from Griffenheim to help modernise our forces. Not only would this make up for the setbacks the revolution has wrought on our military, it would also assure a unified military strategy between us and the Empire.
|
|
Imperial Advisors
|
A Model Imperial Province
Imperial garrisons occupy the city of Skyfall, as imperial flags fly alongside that of the Boreasiste. Skyfall has returned to its past role as a loyal imperial subject, a shining gem on the western coast. With Desramaux now the official imperial governor of our lands, we have all but assured loyalty to the temples and empire. We now to the future- for Skyfall, the Empire, and griffonkind!
|
|
|
|
The Archonate in Exile
With the Archon of Boreas going into exile, we must take up the mantle of the faith. We must invite Archon Eros VII, Boreas's will incarnate, to lead us in our fight- to liberate the Empire from the heathens who now sit in Griffenheim, and to save the good griffons of Griffonia from their rule!
|
|
|
|
The Knights of Arcturius
The knights of Arcturius, while most prominently known for their struggle against the vile necromancers in the far north, do not exclusively fight there. While the order is primarily relegated to defending the frontier against the dead, many knights also venture into the continent, both to support their greater cause and for other purposes- some of whom have pledged to fight for us.
|
|
|
|
Save the Loyalist Regiments
With the passing of power from the late emperor to the current regent, many divisions have lost faith in the empire- being governed by a foreign noble, with the heir to the throne too young to act. This extends to some especially rebellious regiments in the Imperial army, who may be enticed to join the fight against the empire, to reclaim the regency for the Archon.
|
|
|
|
A Home For the Loyal
It is clear to any good griffon that the nobility have no good intentions for the empire- while they may decry those who fight against them as treasonous, they are the true traitors, and us the true loyalists- loyal to the people and to our values. We must make ourselves open for any friendly opposition to the Duchess's regency, making ourselves a home for the resistance to her rule.
|
|
A Home For the Exiled
|
|
Prepare For the Endkrieg
We must act quickly- as the nobility entrench themselves on the throne of Griffenheim, they grow fat off of the people, but also begin to arm the people to defend them. If we are to take back the empire, we must act swiftly- taking advantage of the empire's weak state to reclaim it for the glory of Boreas!
|
|
Endkrieg
|
The Archon's Speech
The recent ascension of the Archon to power has left many griffons in our nation... restless. While this was to be expected with dissidents, some of the boreaiste themselves have raised concern- particularly about his bellicose attitude in regards to the Empire. To answer these concerns, the Archon himself has prepared a speech- a speech which he will address to the people of Skyfall...
|
|
|
|
Rally the People
If we are to take back the empire, we must first win the people over. We must begin a mass campaign of propaganda and promoting our new goal- and we must also assure the people that the goal is something we can feasibly achieve.
|
|
|
|
Destroy the Vakbonden
The syndicates are an affront both to our nation and to Boreas. These traitorous unionists should be squashed like the pests they are, before they recover from the failed revolution to become a thorn in our side again- this must be done with utmost conviction and impact, to make sure that when we are finished there will be no reds in Skyfall.
|
|
|
Secure Skyfall
We must quickly move to continue our efforts to purge the dissident from Skyfall. While in our control firmly, there are still those disloyal, or homeless, or criminal. We should first begin by providing jobs for the many displaced griffons, lives ruined by the revolution- their idle claws will rebuild our nation. Next, a strict curfew- using our police to rid the streets of degenerates who refuse to work.
|
|
|
Integrate the Boreaiste
The boreaiste have always been a noble group, both as a paramilitary and a political force- but, with the rise of the Archon to power, we must begin to make efforts to integrate the boreaiste. While the paramilitary arm has already somewhat adjusted, many political figures are still loyal to the boreaiste- rather than the Archon. This must be rectified, to create a truly unified government.
|
|
|
|
Let Boreas Sort Them Out
While we have broken up the last of the formal syndicalist organisations, we have yet to properly deal with their members. While some have proposed trial by law, or arrest, or banishment- these are all ineffective both at stopping future syndicalism and at properly punishing those of the current day. There is but one solution, one which the Archon seconds- we will kill them all, and let Boreas sort them out.
|
|
|
|
The Herzland Dialect
The Archon believes that if the Empire is to survive in the future, there must be efforts to culturally unite the desperate regions- and that starts with Skyfall. While our people currently speak a different dialect than that of the Herzland, the Archon desires that we begin to teach in the Herzland dialect, hoping to transition our nation over to a more unified language in the future.
|
|
|
|
Moralische Polizei
Skyfall is still plagued by degeneracy, spread by the previous debauched capitalist government. To fix this, our new state shall establish a moral police made up of faithful griffons. These groups will enforce morality primarily through coercion, helping to stop the widespread practices of prostitution, drug use and moral degeneracy, as well as acting as a method of enforcing temple doctrine.
|
|
 Moralische Polizei
|
|
State Eleos
At our core, behind every policy we put into place, are our morals- and one key moral is that of compassion. We should establish a formal state welfare in tandem with the temples, so that the people will know not only Boreas's wisdom and fury, but also his love.
|
|
State Eleos
|
|
Mandatory Temple Attendance
One of the aspects most evident of the state of Skyfall before the revolution, was the prevelance of atheism- true within both the rich and poor. Now that we have rescued Skyfall, we must make sure that no griffon can be so deceived as to forget Boreas's grace- and as such, that moral debauchery will be eliminated, and replaced with love for Boreas.
|
|
|
|
Reclaim the Empire
With tensions rising ever since Gabriela rose to regency, and our Archon Eros fled abroad, it has always been clear what the inevitable outcome would be- the complete destruction of one of the factions, through war or other means. If we are to wait, the noble scum will become entrenched. To arms, all griffons of Skyfall- all loyal griffons of the empire! We must march on Griffenheim!

Destroy the Feathisians
Feathisia is a prosperous land, with vast tracts of plains and farms, one of the more prosperous regions of the empire. Under their precious Duke Gerlach they have managed to maintain stability even during our reclamation- but now they must return to the fold, by force.

Defeat the Archtraitors
Griffenheim was not won alone, and the greatest support for the Duchess was indeed found in her homelands- the duchy of Strawberry, where she was formerly duchess. To prevent this, we must finally reduce the autonomy both of Strawberry and the long-overprivileged dogs, to assure total loyalty to the empire.

The Conquest of Yale
The free city of Romau and Yale both have clearly been granted far too much autonomy over the past years, with radical thought everywhere in Yale's universities, and Romau having great priviliges as a free city. These two regions should be reminded they have no right to claim the mantle of "nationhood", as they might believe.

Into the Sheisswald
The Sheisswald forest, a dark and overall horrible place, houses many evils. Anarchists and bandits run free, and in Katerin the princess's madness lets even worse run free. If we are to finally purge these evils and save the griffons of Katerin and Angriver from what ails them, they need the aid of Griffenheim- and first, we must deal with the uppity locals...

We have accomplished what the nobility could never have done- uniting the Herzland under a single, unified banner, that of our empire.

Not Yet Lost
The Empire is not yet lost. To those who considered us consigned to the wastebin of history, we have proven them wrong, and now nothing shall stand in our way of restoring the Imperial flag from Skynavia to Midoria.
|
|
Reclaim the North
The north must be reclaimed, despite its rather poor value. "President-Marshal" Kemerskai and his socialist stooges must be wiped off the map before they become a serious threat. The uncivilised mountain clans must be brought to our rule as well so some semblance of order is restored.
|
|
|
Emperor Grover I's Only Mistake
While Vedina was nominally an Imperial subject, in truth they were completely independent and cared little for the Empire. This is because of Emperor Grover I grave error, the only one he ever made: He made a deal with the local King. This contract has expired and we shall ensure every single griffon, including Vedinans, is united under the Imperial banner.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Hang the Traitor
After so many long years, Kemerskai has finally been caught and will be brought to justice. He betrayed the Imperial Army and lead the rebel scum during the revolution of 978 which almost brought an end to the Empire. His crime of extreme high treason has gone unpunished for far too long.
|
|
|
|
Reintegrate the North
The Imperial banner waves once more in the north. We will do our best to restore the old order and redistribute the land to loyal nobles. Anarchy will be replaced with strict order and stability, so the populace will realize how imperial rule is superior to all else and rejoice.
|
|
|
|
Reclaim Central Griffonia
Central Griffonia houses Griffonstone, the ancient home of the Imperial dynasty and the cradle of the Empire. Alongside it are the various splinter states that broke off in 978 or afterwards, of various importance and wealth. Regardless, they must all be brought back to the fold.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Local Auxiliaries
Many griffons in the lands we have subjugated have expressed interest in joining the Imperial Army (mainly thanks to the good wages), but are unable to do so because they lack official citizenship. By organizing auxiliary units we can offer them a chance to serve the Empire.
|
|
 Local Auxiliaries
Many griffons from central Griffonia have pledged to join our forces, even if they do not recognise us as their overlord. Our efforts in restoring the splendour of Griffonstone have not gone unrewarded.
|
Rebuild Griffonstone
After the tragic death of King Guto VI, Griffonstone was left without a leader and much like the Empire a bickering regency council was unable to run the country properly. As a result the former pride of griffonkind became dilapidated and poverty-stricken. To honour the memory of the King and to please the young Emperor, we must restore the city to its former glory, no matter how much it costs.
|
|
|
Reintegrate Central Griffonia
Having crushed local armies and suppressed nationalistic resistance movements, we are finally ready to expand our administration into the center of the continent. The locals will become proud and loyal citizens of the Empire!
|
|
|
|
Unite the West
We restored the Empire from our seat on the west coast, and yet even now we are threatened by rising powers in the region. If we are to finally quell this troubling region, we must once and for all crush all in the region of Aquilea, and integrate it once again into our rising empire.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Trade Cities
The western coast used to be one of the major economic centers of the Empire. The local cities of Skyfall, Griffton and Fezera indeed remain wealthy to this day, but had declared independence during the chaos of the revolution. Now that we have reclaimed the cities, we will restore the privileges of old to ensure business continues as usual and we get our fair share of the profits.
|
|
|
The Oil Fields of Greifwald
While independent, the griffons of Greifwald discovered large oil deposits under their soil. We have now sent our own experts into the region and they claim it might as well be the largest petroleum reserve in the entire world. We must tap into this massive store of black gold at once!
|
|
|
|
Reintegrate the West
Aquileia and its neighbouring regions have all been brought back into the fold. But this time we will not repeat the mistake of past Emperors. Aquileia deserves no autonomy after their repeated betrayals and obsession with revolutionary ideas. All of the west shall be integral territory of the Empire, directly ruled from [Root.Capital.GetName]
|
|
|
A Lesson in Humility
The fall and division of our Empire was started by the claws of Wingbardy. And now, with most lands safely back in our realm, they will be the among the last to be subjugated. Their allies too will face our wrath, as well as other arrogant nations that defy Imperial rule. These obstacles to the restoration of the Empire shall be crushed under our renewed might.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Expand Wingbardian Rubber Plantations
The tropical climate of southern Wingbardy is ideal for rubber trees, and the local griffons were well aware of this. However, there remains great potential for expansion which remained unexploited. With generous imperial funds, local plantations can be massively expanded.
|
|
|
Restore the Kingdom
When Emperor Grover II wished to secure supply routes to the east, he sent the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army to crush the bothersome minotaurs in unison. The cowardly King surrendered after a single battle and a puppet state was created, which was ultimately toppled by radical democratic revolutionaries. It seems we will have to teach them respect.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Reintegrate the South
The "Free South" will be a thing of the past. No more shall Wingbardy and their former allies be subject states. Instead, they will be reorganized into an Imperial province. Modern technology makes communication, and thus administration, easy even so far away from the capital. This should prevent the region from breaking off so easily again.
|
|
|
|
Reclaim the Frontier
In 747, Emperor Grover I famously crossed the Creeper Mountains, catching the eastern principalities by surprise and subjugating them with ease. Two years later the Zaphzans of Gryphia were offered to become an Imperial March, which they wisely accepted. But like all other subjects, they too betrayed us and declared independence or simply drifted away from Imperial rule. It is time we reassert our dominance.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|

The Empire's Far Eastern Port
Riaportu has grown greatly in our absence, becoming a prosperous center of trade. Our admirals propose its port could be used as a base for the Imperial Navy, allowing us to better project power in the east. [Root.GetLeader] agrees with them and workers have already begun to expand the harbour.
|
|
|
|
Settle the Kosakenland
Gryphia is a sparsely populated land, the frontier of the eastern frontier, so to say. Its fertile soil however has potential as farmland. By encouraging colonisation and resettling among the Imperial citizenry and granting free land (seized from the cossacks of course) we can integrate the region better than Grover III ever did and tame the wild Kosakenland.
|
|
|
|
Integrate the Frontier
The Empire's control over the east weakened greatly over the years until it crumbled entirely. We cannot allow this to happen again, but instead assert control and turn the frontier into an obedient and well organized model province within the Empire.
|
|
|
Reclaim Our Colony
Everything the Empire used to control on Griffonia -- and more -- has been reclaimed after much bloodshed and conflict. However, our task is not yet over. Our colony on Equus, founded by Emperor Grover I himself in 783, has become an independent nation that shows little interest in acknowledging our authority. This wayward colony will learn its place, by force if need be.

Reforging the Economy
Torn apart by unscrupulous economic practices and the bloody revolution, Skyfall's economy has taken a great hit. While the nation's economy was booming before the revolution, most of the wealth was concentrated in the claws of the degenerate upper classes- when restructuring out new economy, we must be sure to fix this error, and assure that every Boreas-fearing griffon in our nation has their place.
|
|
Initial Economic Recovery
|
|
Synthethic Oil Experiments
While to the east of us lie the bountiful oil fields of Feathisia, and to the western oceans oil lies in the sea, we sadly lack a natural source. While we are unlikely to find any new sources of oil in our lands, recent innovations in artificial fuel production provide an opportunity to develop our own source.
|
|
|
Our Own Source
With our recent developments into synthetic oil, it is time we develop facilities to put them into use! Though taking a sizeable investment, by developing plants to produce synthetic oil we can help become less reliant on imported oil.
|
|
|
|
Establish the Staatsvakbonden
Unions played a large part in Skyfall life before the revolution- but most unions before were morally bankrupt and syndicalist. With socialist sentiment still somewhat apparent, we should establish state-backed unions, where workers can organise under strict guidelines, to avoid syndicalist organisation in future production.
|
|
Staatsvakbonden
|
|
Jobs For the People
With our economy still in shambles, we must make sure our priorities are proper. Before anything, we must make sure our people have jobs. By implementing large public projects and employing the many griffons disenfranchised by the revolution, we can employ these poor griffons, and gain a cheap supply of labor for our projects.
|
|
|
|
Weapons For the Army
The revolution has left Skyfall defenseless, with little but the few militias created during the short fighting and former military griffons who pledged their loyalty to our cause. While we have recovered some weapons after the fighting, if we are to rebuild our army, we need rifles- and factories to build them in.
|
|
|
|
Nationale Spoorwegen
Skyfall's infrastructure is largely underdeveloped outside of major population centers, and what little there was damaged by the revolution. We should use our new source of labor to create a national railway system, to revigorate our rural areas and connect our urban centers.
|
|
|
|
Form the Arbeidersbataljons
During peacetime, our soldiers have little to do but drill. With our new government, this should change- while at peace, we should put idle soldiers to use repairing our nation, while also training them for engineering work in combat.

While many would call our former capitalist government "prosperous", little of that wealth was seen by the lower classes. In fact, many were unsure of where they were to get their next meal. Above profit and above prosperity we should value stability- a stable, self-contained economy and a stable life for every citizen.
|
|
Sluggish Economy
|
|
Industrial Advancement
With our efforts to revive our industry, we should also work on advancing our industrial technology. By taking advantage of innovations from throughout Griffonia as well as organic development, we can construct even more efficient factories.
|
|
|
|
Temple Funded Universities
Though the temples have always had a great investment in education, in the time before the revolution the government made efforts to reduce temple influence in education. We should promote temple funded universities to bring more education and assure that no hostile influenced reach our students.
|
|
|
|
The Z1 Computer
The Z1 computer, and experimental programmable device devised by some of our top engineers, is a revolutionary advancement in computers. We should increase funding to research in computers, to invest in the future of our nation.
|
|
|
Modern Construction Methods
While the previous regime made efforts to modernise construction, the capitalists assured that no revolutionary changes could be made. With our new control over production, we should use more efficient construction methods.
|
|
|
Expand the Steel Mills
One of Skyfall's most important natural resources is our steel. However, much of our steel is mined in impoverished rural communities. We should invest in these communities and establish steel mills so that locally mined minerals can be made into steel with less transportation needed.
|
|
|
|
Adopt the Featherdin Process
By adopting more modern mining practices, such as the Featherdin process, we can increase output and reduce the amount of labor necessary for an equal yield, bringing prosperity to the mining towns dotting the outer reaches of our nation.
|
|
 The Featherdin Process
|
|
A Miraculous Recovery
With our investments in the economy and focus on a stable and self-sufficient economy, we have managed a swift recovery from the horrors of the revolution. There is still work to be done, but the worst of our recession is over- Boreas's sun rises over Skyfall.
|
|
|
|
The New Army
While our forces emerged victorious in the revolution, our army is... subpar at best, and a bunch of rabble and militia at worst. We must quickly work to reform our military, beginning with promoting the most promising officers of the revolution, to guide our new military.

Griffon Wave Tactics
While it is not a popular strategy, mass assault tactics are a viable way to quickly transition our militias from disorganised groups to proper units, though our long-term organisition will suffer. This tactic is favored by many of the lower tier militia leaders which emerged in the revolution, and disfavored by many of the old guard.
|
|
|
|
Fire and Brimstone
The doctrine of artillery strikes and massed firepower is largely favored by the old guard, who believe the robust industry of Skyfall can support such a doctrine. While some may see these griffons as stuck in their ways, and unable to adapt for modern times, artillery is a tried and true force on the battlefield, and there are several ways we could continue to develop the doctrine for modern times.
|
|
|
|
Blitzkrieg!
Favored by some of the newer, more bold officers, the idea of blitzkrieg favors the use of armoured spearheads to break defensive lines, and to capitalise on said breakthroughs using mobile infantry with air support. While it is an interesting proposal, our lack of a domestic oil supply has caused some to question if such a doctrine would be sustainable.
|
|
|
|
The Karabiner 09K
While developed by private industry before the revolution, the Karabiner 09k is a bolt-action rifle using a self-feeding stripper clip. We should both adopt this weapon as the standard equipment for our military, and also patronise the company that made it, promoting their engineering divisions to further supply our military with equipment.
|
|
|
|
Modern Artillery
Along with the modernisation of our doctrine and infantry equipment, we must develop more advanced artillery to meet the current times as well. While the specific developments needed must be chosen depending on what use we need artillery for, we must further develop artillery under any doctrine.
|
|
|
|
Dedicated Support Squads
Our divisions should consist not only of infantry or vehicles, but also of specialised support battalions. Though not a new idea, if we formally create specialised support squads to assist divisions, and further training and research into improving said squads, we can boost the efficiency of our army as a whole.
|
|
|
|
The Nebelwerfer
A controversial project has made leeway in the higher military staff- a research project involving an advanced gun capable of launching shells containing poisonous gas, dubbed the "Nebelwerfer", or smoke mortar, to disguise its purpose, gas-based payloads still being considered barbaric by some.
|
|
|
Anti-Tank Cannons
Even with the best artillery or rifles in the world, a tank would outclass our current technology. We must develop anti-tank technology, to utilise both in support roles for standard units and in specialised units, to combat the rising threat of mechanised and armored warfare.
|
|
|
|
A New Officer Corps
With the revolution came the total upheaval of Skyfall's society, and with it the military structures that stood in place since the greater revolution in which Skyfall broke free. We must continuously promote the best minds of our troops, in militias and in new units, and begin to create a new officer corps to lead our military, and to develop new technologies for the modern day.
|
|
|
|
Fanatic Loyalty
In our officers, in our soldiers, and in our people, we must prioritise one thing- loyalty to Boreas, and to the boreasiste. A government cannot stand with a people who do not believe in it- an army cannot function without soldiers who stay loyal- and defeatist officers will do nothing but create self-fulfilling prophecies. As long as Boreas's will is with us- we shall stand.
|
|
Fanatic Loyalty
|
|
Rally the People
If we are to mobilise a proper military, we must first mobilise the griffonpower necessary. By using large-scale propaganda and forced conscription, we can bolster the ranks of our army as necessary to defend our cause and people, creating a new caste of loyal career soldiers funded by the state to enact our will.
|
|
|
Arm The Nation
With our ranks growing and army modernising, we must begin to mobilise our industry as well. Technology is nothing without factories to utilise it- griffons nothing without a rifle to hold. By enacting further laws enabling state appropriation of industry and converting abandoned factories into weapon factories, we can hope to rebuild our military industry.
|
|
|
|
Unit Motorisation
In modern times, maneuver is becoming a very important aspect of warfare, especially on areas such as the plains throughout our nation and in several of our neighbors. If we are to function in this modern setting, we must begin the shift towards a motorised army, or at the very least begin research into the possibility.
|
|
|
|
Light Panzer Development
Along with motorised infantry, an aspect of growing importance in warfare is armor- once a novelty, tanks are emerging as one of the prime forces on the battlefield of the modern day. Light tanks, taking the role of anti-infantry and scouting, are the first step towards embracing this new form of warfare.
|
|
|
Adopt Changeling Panzers
Nowhere is the new art of armored warfare most perfected as the changeling lands- With their strong industry and ambitious military staff, they have all but created the modern school of panzer warfare. We should embrace their style of warfare, and form a domestic panzer corps using changeling tactics and technology as an inspiration.
|
|
|
The Panther
A technology created by one of the several state-sponsored defense contractors, the Panther is a revolutionary tank, atleast for our industry. One of our first domestic heavy tank designs, this tank will allow us an advantage against other armor and fortification, although they are slow and require more fuel than medium or light tank designs.
|
|
|
|
The Arcturien Contract
Our recent interest in tank production being noticed, we have been approached with an offer we cannot refuse- a lucrative contract with the Arcturien Automobile Company, where we would sponsor their development of several new tank factories, and have their cooperation in future production of armor.
|
|
The Forges of Skyfall
|
|
Repurpose West Beak
West Beak, originally a standard military encampment, has potential for conversion into an academy for new officers and engineers. Out of the way of most potential real-world combat scenarios, after conversion it will surely help to further promote innovation both in military engineering and in our quickly developing doctrine.
|
|
|
|
The Nationale Marine
Skyfall has always found strength in its navy, from its time under the empire, to the time under the Chancellor- and now. If we are to maintain our national strength, it is essential we develop our navy, continuing our grand seafaring tradition, beginning with recruiting new naval officers to guide our fleet.

A Wing and a Prayer
Moving forward with our naval strategy, we must move on from our old doctrine of the grand battle fleet. To control the vast western oceans, we need a flexible and powerful fleet- something that can be achieved through focusing on further developing the recent innovations of carrier ships, combining aerial and naval warfare.
|
|
|
|
The Fleet of the Faithful
Our traditional navy has always been a grand, powerful one- and we must stay faithful to this tradition. We shall focus on rebuilding out great navy into something that can contest the western seas, mighty battleships at the center, serving as prideful symbols of our nation as they have in the past.
|
|
|
|
The First Naval Bombers
With our focus on carrier doctrine as opposed to traditional battleships, we also need to divert resources to developing planes designed to fly off of carriers. We must begin development on a new model of naval bomber which can be used to attack enemy ships off of our carriers, to make full use of our new ships.
|
|
|
|
Heavier Cruisers
Very heavy ships can often be too resource intensive to be viable, and yet often some level of heavy firepower is necessary. To combat this we must develop a median between cruiser and heavy ship- the battlecruiser. These vessels will serve both to defend vulnerable ships and as combat vessels all their own, a suitable stand-in for the battleship.
|
|
|
|
Patrol Boats
While cruisers and battleships are well and good, smaller ships are a necessity both to combat submarines and serve as scouting vessels for the larger navy. We should not forgo developing our destroyers in the time to come, lest we leave our star ships with too little support to stand.
|
|
|
|
Cruiser Developments
Cruisers are an important part of any navy, both to support our larger ships and fill in for them. We should divert some resources into developing new models to use in our fleet.
|
|
|
|
New Battleships
With our focus firmly set on a grand navy, we need to assure that our battleships are made with the newest and greatest designs possible- we must create bigger, more advanced and more powerful battleships continuously.
|
|
|
|
Rebuild the Shipyards
Once grand bustling ports that based much of the empire's military and civil naval presence, Griffton and Skyfall's ports are nowadays mere shadows of their grand past. To help base our expanding navy and our slowly recovering trade, we should begin renovations of these great ports.
|
|
|
|
The Secret Fleet
While our surface navy has served us well in the past, we must diversify if we are to have the flexibility necessary for warfare. Submarines are extremely useful for disrupting enemy supply, especially due to their stealth- we should begin to develop our own domestic designs.
|
|
|
|
Marinesoldat Core
If we are to properly project our force across the sea, we must also assure that we have well-developed and trained marines, who are capable of marine invasion across large distances to protect our nation.
|
|
|
|
Boarding Craft
Naval dominance is little without the ability to leverage our advantage- something done with our marines. We need to develop more advanced and specialised boarding craft to enable our marines to commit to more ambitious invasions.
|
|
|
|
Adopt the Long Lance
Dubbed the "Long Lance" by some, our naval research has developed an innovative new design for torpedoes- longer, as the name implies, and using compressed oxygen in its propulsion, the long lance is a testament to our innovative naval research and should begin to be applied in the field.
|
|
The Long Lance
|
|
Carrier Experiments
While we have experimented with naval aviation in the past, we are yet to properly invest in experimenting with specialised carriers. We should still begin to design our own domestic carrier designs, whether they are to be produced or not.
|
|
|
|
Escort Craft
It is essential that our larger ships are assisted by destroyer escorts, primarily to protect from dangerous submarines. We need to advance the design of these escorts to better protect our strongest ships.
|
|
|
|
Guarding Our Coasts
Our vast coastline and many natural harbors provide a great boon in trade, but also a risk- we are susceptible to attacks from all along the coast. We must begin to deploy mines along the shallow coast water, protecting from attack and disrupting any enemy activities near our shores.
|
|
|
|
Heavy Duty Plating
While hull designs are important, we must also make sure to design proper armour to fit these hulls. Using thick and tough metal in the armour will help protect us from all calibers of arms, especially lighter ones.
|
|
|
|
The New Admiralty
The days of the post-revolution power vacuum are gone- new officers and new doctrine has risen to the challenge and now guide our navy, and our admiralty has began a resurgence, many of whom were former revolutionaries who rose to the cause. Our doctrine is strong and focused, guided by the wise claws of our top naval officers, and our navy is continuing to grow, protecting our nation at sea.
|
|
Skyfall Admiraliteit
|
|
The National Airforce
Before the revolution, our air force was one of the largest and most advanced- in our relative region. But we must not sit idle as time passes just because of our former superiority. With our plans to expand our air force, we must first make an important decision- which of the three most prominent companies shall we patronise, to guide our air production going forward?
|
|
|
|
Adler Luftfahrt
Adler Luftfahrt- Eagle Aviation- Is a company specialised in designing highly agile and quick fighters, largely seen as a safe choice due to the importance of fighters in any air force, their designs are sure to provide our pilots with a strong advantage in firefights.
|
|
|
|
Eule Fluggesellschaft
Eule Fluggesellschaft- Owl Airlines- Are a company which creates robust designs, particularly capable for long-range flights. These designs are especially shown in their heavy fighters and bombers, which can travel great distances in their operations, allowing long-range operations to be much more achievable.
|
|
|
|
Greif Flugzeuge
Greif Flugzeuge- Griffon Aircrafts- Are a company whose best offer to us are their bomber designs. Allowing for more payload with little disadvantage compared to our current designs, their bombers would allow us to easier destroy enemy structures, but they can provide little special to us aside from their bombers.
|
|
|
|
New Fighter Craft
Before any other action can be taken in the air, one must attain control- bombers cannot bomb while they are shot to the ground, after all. As such our first priority should be maintaining up to date and strong fighter wings with which to contest the air.
|
|
|
|
Air Training
Along with designing new crafts, we must develop a new doctrine to guide our air force. With the help of our slowly growing officer corps, we need to decide a strong direction for where to direct our air force's resources.
|
|
|
|
The Skyfall Airstrip
Despite our government and society centering around the city of Skyfall, our efforts in aviation have primarily taken place in the rural hills and plains to the east of Griffton, where our current primary air strip lies. While this is suitable for experimentation and training, in proper war we must be able to quickly defend Skyfall- we will put the griffons of the city to work paving a new grand air strip.
|
|
|
|
Strategic Destruction
A modern war cannot be fought without an economy to provide weapons- while fighters may be able to protect our own skies, they can do little in actual warfare. With precise, calculated strikes against the enemy's industries, we can decisively cripple the supplies of those we fight- but first, we must create bombers up to the task.
|
|
|
|
Tactical Bombings
While more specialised bombers are better to strike at the enemy's industry, stopping supply can do little if our armies are crushed- we should develop tactical bombers, allowing us to both support our troops and strike the enemy's factories and infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
Napalm
The deployment of napalm by our bombers has shown a noticeable increase in effectiveness, most notable due to its ability to stick both to structures and creatures, burning furiously at any material it connects with- we should begin to prepare our bombers for its use in actual warfare.
|
|
Napalm
A volatile incendiary mixture, napalm burns everything indiscriminately, whether it's griffons, vehicles or buildings. An incredibly potent and terrible weapon, and we've begun utilising it extensively.
|
|
Close Air Support Wings
While fighters do well enough to protect our troops from enemy bombers, when it comes to infantry they are near useless. Close air support designs are perfect to support our army in its operations, and directly influence combat on the ground.
|
|
|
|
Heavier Fighter Craft
While our current fighters are adequate, they suffer from limited range and light armor. While we need to sacrifice the rather important aspect of agility to rectify this, heavier fighter designs can solve both issues.
|
|
|
|
The V-2 Rocket
Aside from advancements in traditional aviation, a few particularly eccentric- or perhaps forwardminded- griffons have been avid supporters of rocketry technology. Citing changeling interest in the same technology as evidence of its importance, they are pushing the idea that we should begin experiments with rocketry technology of our own.
|
|
|
Chancellor Genevieve
With the Iron Chancellor's tragic death, the duty he so long upheld has passed to his niece- Genevieve Guildedwing. With many doubting her ability to live up to her uncle's legacy, and the oligarchs who lord over her people coming out like vultures to pick over the city, it will be no doubt that she will either prove her worth or lose the city trying.
|
|
|
|
Dockyard Woes
With the recent succession, piracy has skyrocketed- and with it, the commerce we rely so heavily on has been disrupted. It will not be easy to take care of this rampant issue, but if we are to fix it we need to first create a powerbase from which to attack the outlaws- and where better to start than the docks which are plagued by them?
|
|
|
|
Stack the Cards
With our bribes working nicely to win over the dock workers, we have gained valuable information and influence. Now that we have the tools, we must use them- we will begin sending infiltrators inside the outlaw's dens and ships, ready to strike, or to wait in silence and report to us.
|
|
|
Catch Them In the Act
We have gathered informants, but we still do not have enough information. The most straight-forward way to gather the valuable information we need is to prepare an ambush- having some of our loyal informants work with the police to capture a crew of smugglers, and gather information from them. While it may be somewhat risky, it is our best option.
|
|
|
|
Tighten the Vice
Our recent successes have both lessened the worst of the problem and allowed us greater freedom to enforce the law. With the pieces set in place, it is time to move forward- and to set our plans in motion. Though it may strain our already hurt police force, we must make a move and secure the streets and docks, rooting out the criminals once and for all.
|
|
|
|
Dispose Of The Associates
Though we nominally control the streets, many associates of these foul bandits still roam the city freely. Some of the more prominent of these associates includes one of our own officers! While they may not be pirates or smugglers themselves, these creatures have associated with these groups in the past and must be brought to justice, whether publicly or not.
|
|
|
|
Bust the Hideouts
With our recent victories over the smugglers forcing them back to their dens, it is time that we destroy them once and for all. Using information from our informants and criminals we have captured, we must organise a series of raids to finally destroy this threat to our nation's stability.
|
|
|
The Death Of A Pirate
Bechard has long been a rallying figure for mercenaries and smugglers alike, guiding them with his rogue charisma and ambitious demenour- he must be stopped.
|
|
|
|
Times Are Changing
With our chancellor's recent ascension to power and the subsequent treason by the oligarchs, Skyfall has began to become nervous, questioning her ability as a chancellor- to quell these concerns and help lift the spirits of our people in this trying time, she should give a speech in front of the people of the city!
|
|
|
|
Meet With Girard
The government of Skyfall has always been anti-socialist, ever since its secession from the empire. and yet, times are changing, and even the Iron Chancellor before Genevieve had begun to warm up to the syndicates before his death. In these trying times, perhaps we can organise a truce between labor and government, in exchange for giving them concessions.
|
|
|
|
Meet With the Clergy
The relationship between the clergy and government has been complicated for a long time in Skyfall, something which has caused much public unrest in the past. Though we have our differences, we should meet with the clergy to figure out terms of cooperation- leaving Desramaux out of the meeting.
|
|
|
|
Together To Victory
Our recent cooperation with labor and the temple have allowed us to fight back against the capitalists more easily, but it is not enough. We should formally unite behind a united front, to fight against the treacherous capitalists who are holding our nation back!
|
|
|
|
Industrial Sabotage
Kessler's power comes from his prosperous industry, and as such the best way to hurt him is to hurt his factories- with the help of loyalists within his factories we can set up several 'accidents' which will help disrupt his production.
|
|
|
|
Air the Laundry
Though the oligarchs do their best to hide their crimes, we have managed to get our claws on plenty of their secrets in the past- and though the former government relied too heavily on them to risk leaking the information, now is the perfect time to release it to local media.
|
|
|
|
Rob Them Blind
With rampant crime in the streets, who would question if a bank was to be robbed? We have the resources to organise such a feat, and if we keep it quiet we can fill our treasury while weakening the bankers who oppose us...
|
|
|
|
Buy Them Out
While the most powerful and ambitious of the capitalists would never pledge support to us in their current state, many lesser businessgriffs have began to have second thoughts about this treasonous behavior, and have seen their profits begin to lessen with our sabotage- a perfect opportunity to gain supporters.
|
|
|
|
Reimburse the Losses
With the recent tragedies which have struck the bankers and industrialists of Skyfall, many have fallen on tough times economically. Luckily, our coffers are doing very fine- and if we were to bail out these businessgriffs, we would surely win their support, something we dearly need in these times.
|
|
|
Dictate the Terms
With our victory over Kessler and Von Hochsklaue clear, they have come to us with hopes to save themselves from the aftermath. Now we are the ones with all the cards in our claws, and it is time for us to dismantle the monopolies of Skyfall once and for all...
|
|
|
|
The War On Crime
With criminals emboldened by the unrest following Genevieve's rise to power, and drug lord Walter Whitefeather openly announcing his support for the treasonous oligarchs, crime is at an all-time high in Skyfall. We must send out the police to destroy this crime wave, before it gets out of claw!
|
|
|
|
Arrest the Dealers
Though it is a somewhat modest goal, our first targets should be the petty dealers who are some of the lowest in the criminal hierarchies of these organisations. Though small, these pests are abundant and are the way most profits are accrued- a good place to start.
|
|
|
Crack the Dens
With drugs come addicts, and with addicts come dens. These dens have become a major problem, creating major hubs of criminal activity, as dealers profit off the rampant addiction and addicts do anything to get their next fix. We must send police to break up these dens, and arrest any criminals functioning near them.
|
|
|
|
No More Half Measures
Though we have announced a hardline approach to crime, many in our police force are more relaxed than they should be, and efforts to attack the drug lords where it hurts have been lethargic and reluctant. This should be no more- we must crack down on weak behavior in our police and make sure that the criminals now that we will not relent.
|
|
|
Burn the Labs
We have finally tracked down the source of Skyfall's ills- the labs where the drug lords develop and produce their product. We must immediately make efforts to wipe these labs off the map, and destroy the source of these drugs in Skyfall.
|
|
|
|
Target the Ringleaders
With many of the labs inside the city dealt with, it is time to deal with the higher-ups within this criminal hierarchy- first, those above the dealers. While many pushers lost their sources during our raids on the labs, some still important from more rural areas or even other countries, selling their products to dealers within the city itself. We must deal with these sources as well if we are to truly destroy this criminal network plagueing our city.
|
|
|
|
The Face Off
Tensions are rising as our police have gained the advantage throughout the city, with even the most prominent of the drug empires- that of Whitefeather- nearing its demise. Some rumors have reached our police of a last-ditch attempt by Walter to save his dying empire, with a raid on one of his last opponents- if this is true, we might be able to intercept him...
|
|
|
|
A Better Skyfall
With our victories over the criminal empires of the smugglers and drug lords, and with the recent submission of the capitalists, we have assured our place as the one power ruling Skyfall. With this comes a new dawn over Skyfall, where our ambitious chancellor can finally begin her reforms to transform Skyfall into a modern, compassionate state, with her at the head.
|
|
|
Share Our Wealth
An ambitious program to share the wealth of the capitalists has been something in the mind of many for a long time, but impossible while the monopolies still held such power over the government. With Genevieve's chancellorship in full swing, it is time to put these proposed programs into place, for the sake of the suffering people of Skyfall.
|
|
Social Inequality
|
|
Cap The Net Worth
Though we have taken care of the most power-hungry of the capitalists, there are still many wealthy and indolent griffons left. Though controversial, a cap on net worth will allow us a legal way to confiscate the out of control wealth of these griffons, while not shaking the boat too much as to cause more treason.
|
|
|
|
Tax the Rich
The rich have long avoided large-scale taxation, whether through promises of political support, banking out of the country- especially in Flowena- or simple lies. By forcing the rich to provide more indepth information on their wealth and profits, as well as increasing the general income tax, money will flow both into our treasury and to the people- as well as out of the pockets of those who might oppose us.
|
|
|
|
Every Creature a King!
Our recent reforms have managed to help with the issue of poverty in our country, it is still an issue, and many wealthy griffons still hog the wealth of our nation- we should expand the "Share our Wealth" programs, spreading even more from the rich to the poor- while highly controversial, perhaps this will solve our country's inequality once and for all?
|
|
Social Inequality
|
|
Disband the Handelsraad
The Handelsraad has long dominated the concerns of our government- a council composed of representatives from the various prominent business sectors of our nation, all vying for the government's support. While this allowed for government and business to work together in the past, it also allowed business far too much power in the political sphere- and with our recent dissolution of the monopolies that formerly domianted the nation, we should furthermore destroy the tool with which they gained so much power.
|
|
|
Every Voice Matters
Our nation has long been dominated by business, to the expense of the people- it is time to fix that. By implementing voting laws which allow the common people to have a say in the government, we will finally create a truly free government.
|
|
|
|
Trias Politica
To further liberalise our government, we must create a separation of powers. By creating three branches- an executive branch- the chancellor- a legislative branch- a congress- and a judiciary branch- a governmental court. This new system will reduce corruption and assure one branch does not dominate the government, creating less capacity for authoritarianism in the government.
|
|
Trias Politica
|
The Skyfall Congress
With the establishment of a trias politica system in our country comes with it the establishment of a legislative body- one that shall be known as the Skyfall Congress. This new branch of the government is in sharp contrast to the nation's past, ruled by singular authoritarian rulers, and is a representation of our new government's progressive ideals.
|
|
|
|
The Homestead Act
With our recent legislation against the capitalists, we have gained large tracts of land in the countryside. While this abundance of land is not much use to us, we do have a use of it- implementing a Homestead Act which allows migrants both domestic and foreign to claim land for their families will encourage the development of these tracts of land, and increase immigration.
|
|
|
To Each As They Deserve
With our recent progressive legislation, the idea of a system of pensions is a clear next step, though it may cost us some it is worth it for our people.
|
|
 The Fair Earnings Act
|
|
Public Works
Our country's development has long been at the whims of the capitalists- meaning that most development was in the city of Skyfall itself, and only in where it would benefit business. By beginning public works projects we can develop our nation as well as help unemployed citizens make a living.
|
|
Publieke Werken
|
|
Not A Soul Left Behind
Our education may be better than most of Griffonia, but it is still lackluster- largely overlooked, with most wealthy griffons going to private schools and the others too poor to have a say in politics, we must expand our public schools so that no citizen, poor or rich, is left behind.
|
|
Not A Soul Left Behind
|
|
The Duty Of the State Is To Care For the People
Our recent reforms are now firmly in place, and have become the new status quo. With the controversy of their creation quickly passing, we can once again increase the power and funding behind these acts, and once and for all destroy poverty, fulfilling Genevieve's dream!
|
|
|
|
All Are Welcome
While much of Griffonia lies under the tyrannical claw of reactionary monarchs, upstart tyrants or fanatical revolutionaries, Skyfall is truly a free nation. One of the greatest triumphs of this freedom is our openness to immigrants- we are known as one of the most open places in the world, where all are welcome to come and start a new life. With open tracts of land in the countryside and plenty of jobs in our cities, new citizens from across the world flock to our nation to start a new life.
|
|
All Are Welcome
|
|
Nationalise the Vital Industries
Many vital industries still are controlled by capitalists- and we must change this. With a little pressure and some bribes, we should be able to take control of industries vital to our government, making sure the capitalists cannot extort us by taking advantage of our needs.

With our new government, we must expand our military to defend it. By forming a national guard dedicated to the defense of our nation against invasion we will help to guard our nation in future wars, while helping bring our new harmonist ideals into the military.

The Home Of The Free
We have finally done it- under the chancellor's guiding claw, Skyfall has transformed from a despotic autocracy puppeteered by capitalists into a modern state with a robust government and welfare programs, which lives to serve the people, rather than to serve their capitalist masters. We can now once and for all proclaim Skyfall the home of the free, a true land of liberty within the dark storm of oppression which covers Griffonia!
