Reiterating my vote for Quantity Ideas. Greatness depends on what the empire can generate and provide and more of each will ensure Tibet continues even if the most incompetent of rulers sits upon the throne.

The people should be heard, but to hand them the reigns of power would be ill-advised. Letting them all be heard and not just the nobles or the priests or the common rabble, is necessary. But ultimately, the power should remain in the hands of the line that have steered Tibet for centuries, but having the people be present in their satisfaction or in their rage may at least make the King or Queen a more direct awareness of their moods.

Lord Cyrahzax posted:

And the court wishes to know what rumors there are of the great empires of the new world?

One noble says he has had read an account by a Malian merchant about his travels to the distant west. He says the Malians have established some settlements on the eastern coast of the new world. He also says that there are several smaller groups on the eastern coast, but he does not know that much about them. He also says that the great southern empire known as Tiwantinsuyu is still powerful, with great stone cities built without mortar, many strong and powerful draft animals, and advanced firearms. He also says that a region in the north, Tumpis, is a great center of science and learning.

He says the great empire has several tributary states, although they have had difficulties with conquests and rebellion in the distant south against the "plains kingdoms" - the Mapuche and the Guarani.

He knows nothing of the further north. There have been no expeditions from the heartland of the great conquering Triple Alliance for years. The Malian merchants have not dared venture that far, only to the independent lands of Ayiti.

Who are the people of the Far South East? What are they like?



There are four polities that are known to us: Atjuntja, Watujaba, Kiyungu, and Aotearoa.



Of these, Watjubaga, led by the hereditary monarch Warragul I, is the greatest and the wealthiest, although they are threatened by the rapid expansion of Kiyungu in the north.


While Atjunta is more isolated, they are also great traders and shipbuilders and had made independent contact with the Majahapit some decades ago.


Aotearoa is not led by a monarch for life, but a leader who is elected after a great meeting every seven years. They are also great seafarers and have expanded to new islands to the west. They have fought several unsuccessful wars against Kiyungu.

The Edge of Civilization




The great Sultanate of Vladimir has withered away after decades of internal strife, religious conflict, and famine. Right now, their lands are being pillaged by the Orthodox Khazars in Kyiv under Doux Itakh.


Other notable states in the region are the Sultanate of Ryazan under Kynaz Sviatoslav,


the Rabbinic Khazars in Kazan,


the Turkic Beylik of Pinsk,


and the kingdom of the Andreieviches, in Dnestrova.


The warrior matriarchy of Scandinavia have regained their strength and resumed raids in this area again, and the duchess of Pleskau, Helena Nerking, occupies their more recent conquests.


The Komi and Khanty peoples of Perm have reduced the Mongol sultanate of Sibir to a rump state after successful conquests in 1521 and 1523.


The Croat kingdom of Ungvar has, after decades of warfare, overwhelmed the mercenary republic of the Bulgarians. The last remnants of the Empire of the Greeks, then ruled by the Mongol Borjigin clan, have now been overrun, although it is not yet determined who defeated them.


Also of note is the great Armenian steppe emirate of Derbent, led by Emir Gadar II.

The recent war has shown the necessity of military reform - we should clearly take Quality Ideas to whip our soldiers properly into shape.

As for government, I say the General Estates would be the best way to keep the throne's... excesses... in check without making the legislative process altogether too convoluted.

The King's leadership is clearly simply not up to the task of restoring the Empire, certainly not by himself. We shall simply have to shoulder the burden and reorder the kingdom. Then, when time comes, we can be ready to full imperial authority and end this nonsense where Lhasa can simply cease to lead.

Trade Ideas - The world is vast, and the best way for Tibet to confront that vastness is to once again become its center by way of commerce.

General Estates - To coincide with this focus on commerce, we must ensure the productivity of the realm by having its peers, who know their lands well, guide our policies.

Disqualify, but not permanently. Government reforms can be changed but with a corruption penalty.

Ethiopia is one of the world's great powers - the loss of Tondainadu and a persistent Funj rebel problem have not seriously constrained their growth or influence. Under the reign of the brilliant Maharaja Bekele IV, claiming to be of the ancient Suryavansha Dynasty, the kingdom has seen a dramatic consolidation of power, extensive profits from the Red Sea ports, mass conversions to various traditions within Hinduism, and colonization as far afield as Mauritius. They may covet the island of Mahé, where the Ismailis in Gujarat have a trading post.

They are not so concerned with the smaller kingdoms to the south, but instead with the expansionism of the Jerusalem Raj, the collapse of the Timurids, and the designs of the great Malian empire, about which Tibet does not know so much.


The Sunni sultanate of Malindi, led by the aging Fumo Luti Kipangi I, has stayed with its allies of the Marehan clan. The old man is a great sailor and inspirational speaker, though his son may be more skilled in intrigue.


The great sultanate of Kilwa has recently completed its conquest of Sofala and Manikya. The hard taskmaster, Sultan Aberohan III, may seek to emulate his grandfather, Sultan Isma'il, who oversaw the sultanate's dramatic expansion to the south.


In Madagascar, as we are told it is called, the Sakalava are more powerful than the Antemoro and Betsimisaraka individually, but not together.
