Hear ye, hear ye! Let loose Pantalone, Harlequin, and all the other stock characters of the traditional Commedia dell'arte on your unsuspecting population, and watch as they are entertained by the antics and the shenanigans. A good piece of comedy can make anyone forget for a while that their everyday lives are wasted away laboring under the yokes of tyrannical rulers. Plus, it's fun!

Like a mighty torch, bringing the light of reason into even the darkest corners of the old and new worlds, the Enlightenment is sweeping across the world. Supporting this movement will doubtlessly lead to advances in science and philosophy, but the movement's notions about human freedom and the unalienable rights of man may cause a bit of a rebellious fervor in our country.

Byzantine Refugees
![]() |
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30. |
My Lord, Byzantium has fallen to the Saracens. The last bastion of the Roman Empire, the City of Constantine, is now in Turkish hands. As Christendom reels from the shock, Byzantine refugees flock to the cities and courts of Europe, bringing with them old manuscripts of classical knowledge, tracts by Aristotle, Plato and Galen, and a thorough knowledge of both Latin and Greek. Inviting these refugees to $COUNTRY$ might provide an enormous boost to our own efforts in the fields of culture and science.

Because of our relative notability, we are in a position to support the Italian artists in the Florentine School. Being perceived as patrons of international art will definitely help our propaganda efforts.

We can feel it in the wind. Soon our equestrian elite will be nothing more than a dream remembered, as the chivalrous tradition dies out before the onslaught of modernity. The world is changing, but for now, for one last time: Let the Knights of $COUNTRY$ ride!

Charter a Guild of St. Luke
![]() |
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30. |
Saint Luke, the patron saint of artists, often came to lend his name to artists guilds in Western Europe, the most famous, perhaps, in Antwerp. Chartering a guild here in $COUNTRY$ might be a tad on the expensive side, but the cultural benefit will be there for all to see. Developing the Guild's bureaucracy will also strengthen our native bureaucratic tradition.

Golden Age of Dutch Painting
![]() |
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30. |
The Dutch Republic, recently Calvinist, recently independent, and with strong undercurrents of humanistic thought and philosophy, had in the late 16th century set the philosophical stage for a break with the established artistic traditions and ideals of the old Catholic Europe. Riding on the back of the wealth coming in from the developing trade through Amsterdam, we could help usher in a Golden Age for Dutch painting.

A cursive style of Arabic calligraphy, originated in the Ottoman Empire of the 15th and 16th centuries, the Diwani Script was thus named for its intended use on royal decrees issued by the Ottoman diwan, the cabinet of the Ottoman state. Strengthen our rule by proclaiming our edicts, and the word of God, in the harmonies of calligraphy.

While tea had been grown in Japan at least since the 9th century, the more refined aesthetics of the Chanoyu, The Way of Tea, only developed fully during the early parts of the 15th century. Part religious ceremony, and part cultural tradition, The Way of Tea could become an integral part of our cultural heritage.

The South German organ tradition was a school of German organ composers, whose work was largely inspired by earlier Italian traditions, learned by the Germans from studies under Italian masters. Known for improvisatory preludes, chaconnes and passacaglias, the music of the South German Organists is something we could consider supporting.

National Epic

Our subjects have taken to telling tales and legends about $RANDOM_OLD_MONARCH$. The legend says that in $COUNTRY$'s darkest hour, he will return to our nation, and deliver it from evil. Regardless of the truth in that statement, we could use this in our propaganda.
