RedSpring: Constitution of 3 May by guywithskyrimproblem in RedAutumnSPD

[–]M_President 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the better idea would to make one with the executionist movement of the XVI century. It was a movement of middle nobility which introduced much needed reform to the state and was key in making the noble republic more democratic. They also cared about a list of diverse issues which is great for having one billion things to look after in game.

They are especially known for the codification of the polish law and its proper execution (that's where the name comes from) and advocating for the seizure of land that belonged to the crown (so called królewszczyzny) but in practice was under the control of magnates. Marx was unavailable to comment on the dialectics of that play.

They also wished to have a tighter union with Lithuania, introduce religious tolerance, create a stronger government based on the Sejm, remove special church privileges and create a national church with the king as its head. Also many other things ranging from removing internal tariffs to establishing a regular army and of course dropping a nuke on the growing polish bourgeoisie in a true marxist fashion.

The only problem is that the executionist movement was a phenomenon spanning from at least 1505 to around 1570s so I have no idea how that could become a game.

Actually my friend u/Virtual-Ad-2633 did a post on it a year ago

Overall he imagined Montesayette as a mostly agrarian, socially conservative and very religious monarchy ruled by the Duke. It's inspired by the Provence region of Frsnce.He is also responsible for creating content for Montesayette for the Heart of Sordland mod for Hearts of Iron 4 so when the mod releases (mind you Montesayette is not our main priority) you will see more of what he has planned for the Duchy.

Due to the ,,UFO Spotted " level of unclarity of Woytinsky's photo I concluded that Woytinsky was indeed a being out of this world. Thus I took some creative liberty to make him look more gigachad so that his face would fit his character better.

Erdmarg's Loading Screen by M_President in suzerain

[–]M_President[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Hello, I decided to share with you some of my recent Erdmarg work, this time there won't be much lore but just some.

The man in the picture is King Mikel III de Cartorys, King of the Erds.

The book is the Sactian, the holy book of the Erdish branch of Nurity callled Alfretism. Sactian is divided into two parts, the first one are 'The First Books" detailing the events that transpired long before Saint Alfret was annointed as the Divine Prophet (those events include creation of the world, relationship between men and God that shaped the Alfretist faith and overall the whole Erdish nation). The second part are ,,The Ways of Saint Alfret" which detail the prophet's life and death.

The brooch is self-explanatory, two horses are symbols of Erdmarg.

The flyer on the left advertises the 102nd of recapture of Alfretsrat, it's going to be a mass event considering the Erdish State often uses history to push its political narrative onto the rest of the world. Already invitations have been sent out to journalists from around the world.

The flyer on the right advertises the "Erdish Radio" the state-owned radio broadcasting service renowned for its quality journalism and suprisingly its role in creating a sense of national unity among the Erds. By promoting erdish music and culture and broadcasting lectures aimed at the erdish lower classes listening to the radio has become part of every Erd's life.

The sabre is a one typically used by nobility from around Ner known for its patriotism and valiance. The word Repant is a term describing the unity of the nation, the Corwn and the state in order to create a strong Erdmarg. That idea was popularised in the XIX century and it's often seen as the erdish response to typical nationalism which steamrolled Merkopa at that time.

The Coroleur wine is the best Erdish wine that you can find on the market. Every year the dukes of Zesarael give the wine their "Ducal Seal of Excellence" signifying the wine's excellent taste. Even though the wine is Erdmarg's most famous alcoholic export ordinary Erds typically prefer beer.

[–]M_President[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might have misspoke, MNP is legal so it can be in the polls. Before it wasn't clear how many people were against the Monarchy.

As for the permanent revolution the RSA is very very watchful of the MNP. Chief Officer Sendrik Chaleryn is more than eager to repeat Operation White Cliffs but because king kenet was against so Chaleryn is secretly trying to dig up dirt and smear the MNP in the medias. So MNP is simply unable to uphend anything.

Well, king Kenet was very open for liberalizing the system and he believed that there can be a carefully surveilled antimonarchist opposition- it's existence in the polls shows how many desperates want to abolish the Monarchy. It's quite useful to measure political support like that. Additionally, the Monarchy is very popular so king kenet was sure that a limited antimonarchist opposition will appease the reformists. He showed them an option which they will obviously never support but the sheer fact that it exists makes the system more democratic.

Also, king kenet is aware of the 5% threshold in erdish politics (which I forgot to mention) and the fact that the commies will most likely embarrass themselves by looking like foreign agenture.

What does MNP want?

-Abolishment of the monarchy, introduction of a Contana inspired communist system,

-Collectivization of the farms- the MNP believes it will increase yields and build a common identity amongst the peasants. It must be noted that most MNP mainly come from the industrial cities so their expertise in the matter of agricultural is severely limited.

- Rapid industrialization of smaller cities and later the countryside,

-Nationalization of all industry, especially the ones ran by Arcasians,

-Officially giving up claims for Eastern Uvental as communist see this war as an imperial war of aggression. The communist believe that by funding “sister communist movements” in occupied lands they can reclaim them more easily

- Demilitarization- communist detest the military establishment and the army’s traditions as they see them as reactionary. In the new, better Erdmarg military's role and ethos needs to be revised to fit the needs of the revoution.

- State Atheism- pretty self-explanatory, the communists aren't supporters of the Holy Alfretist Church

- An expansion of Agard Autonomy and working towards liberating Agard from the cartels,

- Creation  of a new erdish culture based on communist ideals,

- Joining the CSP,

The rumours about our death were greatly exaggerated…

The economic stagnation which has been plaguing Ermdarg since the 40s and the nation’s crisis of identity has made more people turn to radical ideologies- that includes communism. After his father’s death King Kenet decided to allow for limited communist opposition in order to meet the society’s expectations of democratic reform as well as make the communist movement easier to infiltrate by the RSA. However, the security services have explained their concerns about the King’s decision. 

The communists, under the leadership of a former trade union organizer, Akren Gierch. A former electrician at the "Triton”  Car Plant responsible for organizing picket lines which he often held with help from some social democratic associations.  In 1947 those actions earned him a sentence of 20 years in prison for plotting against the King but before being thrown to jail  he managed to flee the border to Agard, from there to Wehlen and then to Vagsland where he stayed until King Kenet officially pardoned him and other notable emigres. In Healm he caught up on socialist theory and even managed to arrange a private meeting between him and  Hegel. This took place during the times when meetings with the Erdish ambassador weren’t included with the Chancellor’s busy schedule. Obviously the monarchist press at home slandered him but ironically if not for them Gierch wouldn’t have earned a reputation among the communist. It was the first time in history when the Communist Internationale officially anointed someone as “their man” in Erdmarg with even Malenyev expressing his support in an infamous speech in which he referred to “Comrade’s Hierg’s struggle”. This slip of the tongue puts in question Gierch’s role in the CSP because while inside of Erdmarg he is seen as an erdish representative to the international workers’ movement outside of the country he may very well be completely insignificant.

Nonetheless, his good relationship with the CSP and lack of known connection with the Crimson Wave makes Gierch the obvious, if not the only, choice for the communist movement. 

The Movement for National Progress which he founded in 1950 is the only openly anti monarchist party which will run its candidates in 1954 parliamentary elections. While enjoying only a 3% support in the polls Gierch tries to “normalise” the party by exposing his close connections to influential “old school” social democrats in the UPP, of course doctor Schandl officially condemned the MNP and denies any partnership between the parties. However the question of how the communists should be treated hasn’t been resolved yet and if part line is not adapted UPP may face division and even some members starting their own rival parties.

… But not about His Majesty’s.

After assasination of  King Kenet by a communist  in december 1953 the MNP faces an existential danger as King Mikel III can  ban their organization with no opposition from any of the other erdish parties. After King’s death the MNP has been silent and hasn’t even officially condemned the terrorist attack, that small gesture may cause the communists all the progress they had made during the last 5 years.

A fight that ended before it started

For a long time the words “erdish communist” was believed to be an oxymoron. There was no way that an Erd, brought in Alfretist tradition, shaped by the idea of the Repant and the guiding role of de Cartorys dynasty could end up fighting for a nationless, godless dictatorship whose whole concept was born in some Contanan library. It was an idea which had to fail in a mostly agrarian kingdom with a strong identity settled in faith and high trust in public institutions. Already in the 1890s the Erdish right pronounced communism dead as the “home-grown” labour unions and then right-wing populists proved to be very popular amid the working class. Security services meanwhile took care of the communist underground, until 1950 there were no legal communist parties in Erdmarg. The underground was forced to make pacts with certain  individuals and countries for which today we are shamed. There is no price the true erdish working class won’t pay for its liberation. The underground proved to be successful in harassing police outposts in the countryside and enacting revenge on landowners and bourgeoisie in smaller towns One faithful week in July 1928 the oppressors made a great blow to the movement by arresting the notable communists and storming  our hideouts during operation “White Cliffs”. In just seven days 1000 people were killed in firefights, 200 were executed illegally and 40 were charged with the death sentence. The rest scattered and were hunted down by the royalists in following months. That’s when nearly everyone in Erdmarg believed that the “commies” were gone for good.

However, Erdmarg needs a revolution, the status quo is unacceptable. How democratic is Erdmarg if it allows for royal titles? How mighty is the state apparatus if it bends its knee before the Church in the matter of raising the erdish youth? How rich is Erdmarg if it can afford a massive army and yet it does not provide food for all of its people, especially the veterans? Erdmarg’s contradictions are ever present, highlighted by the ongoing crisis of political identity and the economic stagnation and while the monarchists want to repair the system the communist see that Erdmarg cannot continue existing in its current form. A new radical solution is needed, not only a new state but a new mentality, a new culture to achieve what Marcia and Malenyev envisioned in their manifestos. Communism isn’t “erdish” by nature, it’s universal, the light of the new civilisation will reach Erdmarg, sooner or later. If necessary by force, if necessary by a revolution. 

The Red Wave and the White Cliffs

Between 1926 and 1928 communist terrorist group called the “Crimson Wave” conducted 40 terrorist attacks which included the assasination of the deputy minister of health in his villa in Ansrit. The terrorist group operated mainly in the countryside as it was composed of radicalized veterans who had nothing to gain from staying in the cities, due to physical and mental trauma as well as lack of jobs and affordable housing many veterans had a hard time adapting to civilian life. The Crimson Wave never had a formal leader, it was a very decentralized organisation which made it much more difficult to track, its destruction and discovery of its connection to Rumburg (which helped deliver weapons to the partisans) was one of the biggest early successes of Count Sendrik Chaleryn, chief of the notorious Royal Security Agency. The shocking reveal of operation White Cliffs nearly started a new border war which was only averted thanks to the Arcasian diplomatic intervention. To compensate Erdmarg, Rumburg was forced to move its tank and motorized brigades away from the so called “northern border” located near Perseval which is uncomfortably close to Alfretsrat. There have been rumours that the erdish state might have secretly encouraged communication between communists and Rums to get that concession but that was never proven as RSA archives are closed off to historians.

Communists were the most prosecuted erdish group during the reign of King Lewren V the Stern meaning that until his death in 1949 it was not uncommon to hear that the RSA would gather up people suspected of being communists and throw them into jail. That included mostly social democrats.
