(Making a PUNE reference. o7) A Belt & Road initiative, or something like that: ____________________ The Dominion of West Poland had grand ambitions in Europe, but rather than jump to outright conquest, it shall first expand its influence into these nations.... By investing in the construction of infrastructure projects such as pipelines, rail, roads, and energy infrastructure, in exchange for a share in ownership. Not only making it easier to transport resources to our factories from nations like Azovu, but expanding our influence, as we rebuild and invest in a broken Europe shaken after the events of "THE DAY" Propaganda wise, the narrative is that West Poland is moving away from human farming, which it only used for its survival to begin with, and now seeks to help invest in infrastructure to bring Europe closer together like during the days of the E.U, and bring economic prosperity that'll benefit all parties.... While really, it is setting up a stake in these states. ___________________ Espionage BS: _____________ The Dominion of West Poland is not blind to the dangers of espionage in this world. Just about everyone is spying on each other, and everyone knows it. Thus it has become a game of skill.... Not much will be said, but espionage and counter espionage operations are expanded to neighboring states. __________________________ Profit: _____ The first goal of the Pratum Corporation is profit, without it, the state simply cannot survive. The recent trades and programs are immensely costly, but the fruits of our labor shall begin to ripen. Industrial output is increasing, and consumer goods can now be sold to other nations. The sheer mass construction of nuclear plants means energy can be directly sold to neighboring states. Canals and salt water purification possible on mass due to nuclear power means water can be shipped out to nations struggling to maintain their water supplies. The mass standardization of regenerative farming(Now this is something I do IRL actually. I live on a small homestead of 2 acres, which has been made quite efficient, hosting about 20 cows, 50 pigs, a hundred+ birds, with rabbits and sheep as well, heck even small crops. And it isn't even maximized yet. Just imagine if this were maximized on a larger farm? Which could then feed itself with its own crops? World hunger could be kissed goodbye-) will now allow us to ship food. Be it meals, or comfort snack brands. Businesses shall be booming.... _________________________ The following countries of Interest: >Sweden.(Priority:10) >Norway.(Priority:10:) >Finland.(Priority:5) >Belarus.(Priority:6 >Ukraine.(Priority:4) >Romania.(Priority:3) >Czechia.(Priority:10) >Serbia.(Priority:1) >Turkish Empire.(Priority:2) >East Poland.(Priority:10) Priority is a given idea of how much interest and effort of the said programs above is put into each nation here. With for example, West Poland guarantees the Independence of Sweden & Norway because of how vital their position and minerals trade is. Obviously how these states react depends on the mods though I assume, since they are vacant. Though these operations do not automatically mean they'll get annexed. Merely setup for plans ahead that may change along the evolving situation... __________
