We have the opportunity to do what it is we should be doing, spreading democracy in the darkest corners of Europe. Imperialist or irredentist matters should mean nothing in this new century of liberty!

I do agree with the coffeehouse intellectual but I feel we should try to have the Italian minors join us without bloodshed if at all possible.

#Support the Bearded Grognard and the Coffeehouse Intellectual, as far as infamy permits. It all belongs to Rome, there is absolutely no reason we shouldn't own EVERYTHING WE'VE EVER HAD!

Maybe if Bearded Grognards and Coffeehouse Intellectuals combined massively outnumber the other options, but are of similar numbers they could coalition together and gain some sort of Byzantine Restoration/Destiny?!

We should:

0) Annihilate the Bulgarians
1) Sphere Lombardy, Piedmont and Pisa and FORCE them to join diplomatically!
2) CRUSH Ferrara!
3) Conquer everything from Cilicia to the Holy Land!!

Anything Byzantium has ever held can and should be claimed by Byzantium! Nothing less will do if Byzantium is to lead the world for another millennium!

I'll be putting together the next State of the World tomorrow (although I might not get it posted until a bit later)-- is there anything in particular people want to make sure gets covered? Ledger pages you'd like to see? Minor countries you'd like the skinny on? Specific provinces you'd like to get demographics for?

# Support the Prudent Diplomat. There's a time for war and a time for peace, and we've just finished a war. Conserving our strength so we can successfully fight reactionaries
is more important than territorial expansion, IMO.

The fact that the former - or perhaps even current - members of the Unitas supports the Grognard should say what I think about his Imperialist stances. Nay, the days of the past are over. The Holy Land and Cilicia are parts of Da Qin, parts to be annexed should they try to rise up against us but for the moment parts of them nonetheless. Italy and France, both prosperous regions to be claimed by our mantle should the time arise. Besides, we need to bite the Italian Nationalists in the bud before they rise up, and what better way than to reclaim them?

##Support the Coffeehouse Intellectual and bring back the Italian Byzantines!

That said, I'm very intrigued about how our capital is doing at the moment. How are the majorities and minorities of Constantinople faring?

As much as the Bearded Grognard's proposal appeals I think giving the army a well earned break from trashing the armies of other great powers and making our focus consolidating our growth at home is in order for now.

Indeed, Rome is the one and only true defender of Imperial Liberalism, the only cause worthy of accruing infamy.

Not necessarily through strength of arms, but we must make Italian unification of spirit a priority. What use is our superpower status if we cannot control a single peninsula?

Ferrara will be as much of a speed bump as a doormat, and I'm not jinxing it.
Pisa probably won't see anyone interfere either.
Lombardy and Piedmont are far more likely to get France involved, and that's as good an opportunity as any to smash France again and grab Sardinia.

This nubbins about war exhaustion and dead soldiers is a bunch of tosh. Byzantium is a large nation with plenty of expendable manpower for a proper war every five years. If it really is that bad just have the vassals and allies pull the heavy load.

Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.

##Support the coffee-house intellectual

At some point in the future, Byzantium will be weak, and we must remember from history what the minor states of Italy did to our territory the last time we were weak- Ferrara still holds territory it seized in the Deluge, and all the Italian minors would jump at the opportunity to once again subjugate our citizens to feed their petty nationalistic follies. Their people will thank us for uniting Italy under our banner, their petty rulers do not matter.
