If the darn -50% RE hadn't set me back... Oh well. I did it to myself after all.
It seems clear that for now, the reforms are over. Many people are pleased with the reformed courts. Work to promote unity between the provinces of the New Union and promote a sense of nationalism is running strong. Two nationalistic holidays are created, and will be celebrated annually: Restoration Day and Unification Day, marking the anniversaries of the return of the Avalonian Council to power in Nazgar, and the formation of the New Union including Espul and Gerand.
Efforts to integrate the militaries of the various provinces into one national military loyal to the New Union are going well. Avalonian/Plexian/Britonic cavalry tactics, technique, and general awesomeness, paired with more advanced Espulian/Gerandian naval practices have improved military capabilities across the board to a small degree, an improvement that will be made more manifest once the militaries are fully integrated and the draft type policy becomes a part of life rather than a drag to many people outside of Espul and Gerand.
Work to improve the infrastructure in Espul and the eastern part of Geran commences, as bad roads have made travel more difficult. A university and library are also set up in Kosbrunn and Gerand's capitol.
Efforts to retrieve important documents and some moneys from the chaos that is South Calzone have ultimately proven fruitless, although some funds, artwork, government documents, and books are salvaged. Sadly though, Dabo, where the majority of this stuff was intended to be recovered from, is like zealot Jerusalem following an act of arson several years ago that claimed some very old buildings holding the sort of things that Avalonia was after.
Avalonia will be best. New Union will withstand Northerners.
As far as range goes, does the X to Atensia approximation apply to my capitol or to my frontiers and coastline? Does having Plexia under my control make it so I can reach Bequelans, or do I assume that the distance is measured from my capitol or whatever?
