Prime Ministers Speech, Corustaria

"To the good people of Corustaria, I am proud to announce the latest in a series of triumphs! Not only have we acquired the lands of the former lance Empires colonies, but our brave forces in Prussia have struck a devastating blow unto the hostile rebels! With but a loss of 200 soldiers, we captured a major rebel base, and within but a few hours we had scattered the red army, delivering a crushing blow to the moral of the resisting forces. Allow us now our national anthem, in honour of our brave soldiers tall... and those fearsome, honourable dead, theirs not to ask why, but to do and die..." The Prime Minister waved his hand to the assembled orchestra, and they begin to play Call for all to hear...

Numburg

After the regulars bury their dead there in a corner foreign field that is 'forever Corustarian', they fly the banner of Corustaria above the graves from a pike, take their muskets in arm and march away, not changing from an upright posture until they are out of sight of the graves. They head towards the capital of LexBurg, steeled faces and battlestained uniforms, proud of army being considered a 'success' for once. Along the way, they attempt to use their latest 'victory' to their advantage, attempting to build a reputation for being extremely skilled soldiers, in spite of the fact that the truth, for the army at least, couldn't really be that different...

Colonies

Now owning more Colonial land than any other faction, and indeed, any other two factions put together, the Corustarian Colonists deem it a worthwhile venture to establish better relations with the tribesmen. Gifts of 20,000 of the coin the first fleet brought are sent in land to them and a box of 10 muskets is delivered along side it, as well as a map of the 'Old World' to see whether the natives might find the colonists interesting and allow the two to share information on each other as a result. The colonists who are sent in land are tasked with learning more about the natives, their culture and society as well as their divides.

Politics

In spite of the 'victory' of the Corustarian Army and their support of Prussia, they have again asserted a case towards Prussia for a referendum
- Your support among the people appears to be growing, why not capitalise on this and draw even more to your cause through offers of a referendum, seizing the moment and securing a Yes vote?
- Even if we crush the rebel elements and you grant pardons to the surviving rebels, the displeasure of never receiving a vote on the issue, or a long-delayed vote, will hang around and encourage discontent among the people
- Your attempting to start a constitutional monarchy, this sort of democratic system cannot be done if you are going to ignore the will of the people
- The peoples support for the rebels has slowed once you have shown that you are above using warfare on your own people, why not take it a step further and kill their support for the rebels dead?
- Such a Prussian union brought about by such a vote may convince remaining rebel elements that they are in the wrong and convince them to lay down arms and accept your pardon
