Bulgarisation Efforts

Instructions

With our victory over the New Cypriot State in the Second Bulgarian-Cypriot War, ingratiating these newly gained puppets from our victory is essential for a successful united empire in case if war is stumbled upon. The Language/Culture/Traditions Sector > We would promote the Bulgarian identity within our puppets, like promoting the Bulgarian language and culture, traditions, values, and beliefs. We would open up specific educational centers teaching our newly controlled liberated peoples by educating them about Bulgarian heritage and history. We will make it mandatory for all citizens of Bulgaria as well as in our sphere to learn the Bulgarian language, we wouldn’t discriminate against other uses of different languages within our borders and our sphere but everyone would have to learn the Bulgarian language as to throughly communicate with one another in the empire. We would make the Bulgarian language the official language as to ensue that all of our citizens would understand that we are serious in unifying the empire. The Bulgarian government would edit the school curriculum in which all schools teaching students would be taught the same history and same narratives of Bulgarian history, all of these schools would teach every student the same lesson of Bulgarian history and the same way as for our citizens to understand our history and cultures to get them further and further into the Bulgarian identity. Public Events Sector > We would make set national holidays, parades, and ceremonies during specific times and periods in our country to celebrate the Bulgarian state. Flags, anthems, and monuments would be built everywhere to form a sort of national unity and pride within the nation as well as celebrating historical figures as symbols of unity like Boris III, Ferdinand I, Krum the fearsome, and other important key figures on our history. All of this would be to make our identity expansion more meaningful and visible in the public eye, as to truly change demographics on how much Bulgarians are living within the empire and her sphere. Media Sector > State-influenced media shaping narratives would be played in the media as to constantly feed our citizens Bulgarian news and to update them, while also getting them to support our narratives deeply to get them to throughly align with the Bulgarian identity and to eventually even become Bulgarian that way. Films, music, and art would be promoting shared identity with the government funding certain artists, films, and musicians as to work for the government in promoting this shared Bulgarian identity. This would also be of entertainment of sorts to our citizens as well. Further messaging about unity, strength, and modernization would also ensue with our propaganda campaigns as the government consolidates power. Industrial Sector > Building roads, rail, and trade networks would be linking regions together as required by the Bulgarian government as to also physically change the environment into our advantage by uniting the people together and together. Since they all lead to Bulgaria, they will also be changed to fit the Bulgarian identity. An economic integration would begin as shared markets, jobs, migration would be promoted and investments would by provided by the government. This is all so people start to feel connected through daily day to day life and so the more time passes on the more Bulgarian they become even if they don’t truly understand or realize that. Economic dependency ties puppet regions closely to Bulgaria and so keeping this dependency is a must and to improve the economic situation to keep our subjects satisfied with their new overlords. Institutions Sector > Military/civil service would be promoted by the government as for these services to bring people together further in further. Civil services and military services create brotherhood among our communities and so by promoting this would also create a sustainable Bulgarian society. This also helps us improve our current situation of a reconstruction campaign while also ensuring that our independence will remain intact as time goes on. All Bulgarian citizens who are aged 21-27 would have to serve in the military whether that be army, navy, or air force for at least 2 years before being eligible for leaving the military. This may cause problems but this will only be a policy opened in Bulgaria and the autonomous Vardar Macedonia but we still seek to open this policy into our puppets when they are more and more integrated into the Bulgarian ways. Propaganda Sector > Anti-Cypriot sentiment would ensue as to make them extremely more disliked by our people. Our propaganda campaign would focus on the Turkish genocide that occurred under the Cypriot government when it held control over Anatolia. Messages would show the horrors of the Cypriot government’s actions as well as the most important to us, the planned Bulgarian genocide by the Cypriot government. [Continued in Notes]
