The Feuillant System | ![]() There are many citizens and politicians in the Republic who wish to return to the tyranny of an absolute monarchy. However, the Feuillant political group believe in a compromise; that powers in the nation should be split between an Emperor and a President, similar to a constitutional monarchy. By riding the delicate balance between Empire and Republic, we may actually please both the Imperialists and Republicans within our nation.

The Two-Chamber System | ![]() For a long time, the Canton system maintained the peace, stability, and independence of small democratic leagues like the Swiss and Swabian Federations. By similarly dividing our legislature into a Grand Council representing the Cantons, and the Senate representing the republic as a whole, we may protect the interests of the individual cities and cultural identities within our nation while still placing the values of the Revolution above all else!

Conditions: |
8 | 8 | 8 | |||
Curtail the Burghers | ![]() The rights and privileges of the Burghers have been too vast for far too long. Wars and expansion of the state are confronted by a lack of support from our own class of merchants. It is time to curtail the rights of the traders and create a centralized state.
Conditions: Additional effects: |
8 | 8 | 8 | |||
Exploitation of the New World | ![]() The resources of the New World are plenty and of great value. By granting certain rights and privileges to our merchants, we can assure that these foreign goods are exploited and transported to our state, which we then distribute in the Old World.
Conditions:
Additional effects: |
8 | 8 | ||||
Mercantilistic Approach | ![]() Free trade implies an equal relation between imports and exports of goods. While beneficial for certain goods, it is of little value for our state. Only through maximizing our exports while minimizing the import from foreign powers, our state can grow its economy.
Conditions: Additional effects: |
8 | 8 | 8 | |||
Embrace Free Trade | ![]() Merchants from all of the world should be able to travel into our lands to engage with our population in trade and commerce. Abandoning the narrowness of mercantalism, the state gains an easier access to foreign thoughts.

|
8 | 8 | 8 | |||
Embrace the Economic Theory | ![]() The economy plays an undeniably important role within the apparatus of the state. The complex systems of trade, finance and luxury need to be tamed to serve the health of the government.
Conditions:

8 | 8 | 8 | |||
Lockean Proviso | ![]() Unused property is a waste to both nature and the state. By introducing and emphasizing hard goods which yield utility over periods of time, the people can exchange their exessive possessions without offending the natural law. The government would moderate the conflict between accumulation of property and distribution of wealth.
Conditions: |
8 | 8 | 8 | |||
War Economy | ![]() The economical security of the state is based on our ability to wage and win wars. Manufactories in our state have no other purpose than fueling our military ambitions.

Thalassocracy | ![]() Thalassocracy, Rule by The Sea. Ours is a people whose lives are lived out with, by and for the sea. Our empire stretches far beyond our homeland and into far-flung colonies in our extended Outremer, our Lands Beyond The Sea. From coast to coasts beyond, our flags wave from ships upon the briny foam. The sea is cold, yet we have made it our home. Let no one challenge us in our proper element.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revolutionary Principle | ![]() The purpose of our state is quite simple; to spread the Revolution. We must centralise our state around the idea that it is only be liberating all people of the world into Revolutionary states that we may create an everlasting state of peace and equality in the world.
Conditions:
|
7 | 10 | ||||
Equality Principle | ![]() Although our state holds Egalité as one of its core values, it is clear that we have completely failed in our goal to treat all our people with fairness and equality. The core principle of our nation must be to eliminate the barriers of gender, culture, and social class and ensure that it is known that all people are created equal and a good start to that would be to ensure that religion remains a private matter and does not dictate one’s rights within the state.
Conditions:
|
7 | 10 | ||||
Imperial Principle | ![]() The Revolution has made it clear that our nation, above all others, wields the divine right to hold Imperial Hegemony over all other nations. The states around us are fragile and weak, and it is clear that only by directly controlling these states ourselves will we ensure that the values of the Revolution are enforced on the people.
Conditions:
|
7 | 10 | ||||
Military Electorate | ![]() Our nation values comradery above all else, and nobody exemplifies the value of being a comrade like our boys fighting on the fields of battle. These are the men who’ve seen the horrors of war and fought alongside their countrymen to preserve and advance the Revolution, and these men should be the ones to rule us. We must alter the requirements to hold an office in our government so that only those who have served in our military are eligible to represent the people within the government.
Conditions:

10 | 11 | ||||
Table of Ranks | ![]() The Empire needs a strong rulership free from the ambitions and intrigues of the boyars. The Table of Ranks restructures the hierarchical system of the Nobility, rewarding merit in the matters of military, bureaucracy and other subjects of the government. The nobles are bound to the Emperor by their personal service.
