Alrighty their are some real reasons why they won't do these some of these reforms. Like political reasons and how it looks to be seen copying the french. I can see them copying us in something like military, but economic is much more conservative to change especially since these areas will have to listen to the merchants who more then likely won't want to change. Their are plenty of other reasons. Such as some of these involving greater freedoms, like allowing women to do anything other then give birth nearly doubles the manpower of a country. This would be super unpopular in a lot of country's.

Women have already been doing low key economic supplementing since medieval times, from sewing clothes to sell for a bit of extra gelt to caring for livestock or helping run a shop. So what you're proposing wouldn't be quite as dramatic as that. Although these days child death rates means that having babies often is the only surefire way to keep a family lineage going. And the whole of France, come to think of it.

It would still be pretty hard to do. Hell, I think it would not be easy for US to further expand Women's rights in France now either, although we may have a bit easier time then most European States, both due to the Revolution and our own example.

The rights given to women in france is extreme in comparison to other countries, and yea cottage industry did exist but it was just that. a cottage industry done within the home where they weren't going out far away from home.

He was thinking he could get away with it… which he kinda could, given the circumstances.
Well Marshels did become kings and rulers, Look at Bernadotte or Murat.
it's becoming the ruler of France itself that will be out of the picture.
Here's hoping that the boys in red are prepared for a war they will not be able to fight.
ask Lafayette about American warfare
All I will say is that if you don't wind up with 20 rep coming out of it, I will be very surprised.
And have influence everywhere in France.
Well Nappy now has one thing that he never had before.
a wife with SV competency.
Well considering the shit the republic put him through and his friends along with the chaos of what Robe has done?
Oh yeah, it's time for France to take its place under the sun.
Will be updated later tonight.
By doing the reforms in such a way they can't?
We have one thing going for France.
we've opened the door for a more… open selection of jobs in the army for women.
including frontline combatants and officers.
...Actually, were IS the good Marquis these days? Has he shown up yet in this Quest?

Still in exile in Austria and about to go on vacation to America to write a book about the continent itself. He's avoiding France right now for obvious reasons.
Plus you know, he's a bit on the wanted side in France right now.

Any more details or numbers on this subject mater?
I've been wondering about how our fame has effected both women in the military and women's rights in general?
It hasn't really been mentioned in the main updates so if you've mentioned this before, well, I only recently caught up so, sorry.

Details: We can really see women officers corps and brigades, primarily in France only but possibly a battalion or two finding their way into active service.
We'll besides Therese being a popular charecter for contemporary novels and writers, with many spins on her charecter if not from herself.
Charlotte is really rich but gets the money she earned stolen by her uncle, a Douche bag.
If that happens I will cry.

So Just a heads up...
The rumor mill coming up will be focused entirely on Europe. The Americans at this moment are kinda... stalemated and we'll get back to them when things in France have calmed down, and everything is less on fire.
And by god, we're getting it on thick.
Edit: Rather on... France, Britain, Russia, and HOLY FUCK THE SECOND COALITON!

Nappy and co. has this well at hand back home even without our help, which means we're free to hand the coalition it's collective asses.

That depends entirely on who's who in the coalition... and how Britain is planning to pay them because everything is... strange.
Let's be honest managing Napoleon is a job in itself.
I suspect we'd need to do the impossible and ask Napoleon to accept democracy and him to refuse
A chance to shore up the foundations of France into something more secure. One of the benefits of being an autocrat is being able to act unimpeded, also their greatest flaw. A Theresa acting in her area of competence and checking others ambitions might make for a frightening France.
A wife to go home to tends to restrain ambitions a bit.
'Sb competence' is one of those things that's as much a smear as a compliment, hope we can manage the latter.
So you're saying we can get our own variant of the sun never sets on France?
. More seriously reigning in some of Napoleon's more crazy ideas, and counterbalancing him is probably enough for us to dominate Europe in the long run if we get half of Napleon's luck in the canon timeline.

Plus, the man is a workaholic per excellence, even if we could manage to keep up with the man, which we might not lets be real, even if we manage to be half as good as we are on the battlefield, we'll be okay.
Or lose spectacularly.
Well at least we can safely say that between THerese and Brian, Nappy has some moderate influence.
Looks at the rolls that occurred as the Rumor mill was assembled.So you're saying we can get our own variant of the sun never sets on France?
I mean, your half right.
Ah people just couldn't accept that they lost the first time along with being still being butthurt and they don't want to pay France. Guess we'll see what happens. Well time to show them again why they lost. With how badly destroyed the army of Naples is they are probably staying out of it.

... Looks at their rolls.
I mean... no.
Good thing Davout is in the Neighbor hood. He should be doing some good shit done.
....King of Naples is actually declaring war after just signing a peace treaty and losing very badly? Guess he doesn't want to be a king anymore. Good luck trying to take Sicily. Therese made Sicily actually want to work with us and against their previous king.

Burbons have never been the smart type, save for Louis and Charlotte.
Let me guess. He thought all our troops left Italy to go back to France but didn't realize Therese sent half her army to Rome to have a "chat" with the Pope?
Actually how is Sicily doing economically and militarily? Know garrison's was picked but don't know if they arrived yet. Not to mention if Sicily will actually try helping.

Like I said, not the smart type. He must belive in the hype of divine right and other bullshit.
THey are a backwater.
But they are rebuilding...slowly but surely.
and our garrison will help... eventually.

Well Louis you might get to shot the King of Naples again. You would think his people would be looking at him like he is crazy after the lose they just took.
Hopefully Sicily and Davout can beat the King of Naples easily. Which means Davout can help us against whoever else is against France. So did the garrison arrive to Sicily or no?
