@Academia Nut now that we are contemplating integration with Gylruv, could you elaborate all the ways they differ from us? You've told us how their government and administration looks but we know next to nothing about their religion, social values, class system beyond nobility, or ambitions of their various factions.
And any chance you could tell us what they have been focusing on this last turn, other than following our lead?
Another question I have is how exactly we got a part if Wyrmyr, seeing how we didn't have a land border with them. Is Gylruv facilitating administration and taxation rights for us or something?
Lastly, you never answered most of my last bunch of questions, but you also never stated your unwillingness to do so, or gave any indication of noticing them at all, really. Should I repost them, @Academia Nut?

To answer this - we do have a land border with them, actually. It's on the northern shore of not!Black sea.

We actually should have a land border with Wyrmyn: they were PLC-or-Poland, we controlled all of Yllthon (Black Sea) coast.
We probably ate the equivalent of southern/south-western/maybe some central Ukraine.
Decent agrarian land[1] and IRL it has some impressive iron and graphite deposits...oh and the second best source of manganese ore in the entire world.Plus some sources of copper and smallish of gold.
Not sure if that's the case over here, but overall a pretty good place to nab - both to feed the pops and to feed the fires of industry.
Gylruv, though, ate a big chunk of hyper-fertile soil and one of the bigger coal regions. The industrial development, if we do the education + financial + administrative + social reforms for FULLCAPITALISM, has a hell of potential.
[1] Ukraine has a basically natural equivalent (or superior?) of Ymaryn black soil, but it's more to the north-east and it's most likely not in the parts we've eaten

Massive increase in our military, economy, population and territory? YES! Sure there might be some instability but I think we can weather it out.... Also we have few friends, let's make those few that we have proper ones, that we can count on when things go sour.

I dont get why the hell does the current vote is winning.
Isnt the objective of the last vote to reunite greater ymar?
Its even listed in an's post.
Agenda : Greater Ymar
These kind of conflicting agenda's is what will led to terrible outcomes for us.
With the power of gylruv and the territories of greather ymar, we will finally become a literal superpower. One which can make impactful changes in the world.\
Isnt Education reform at this point rebundant?

Without assistance the Mughals are going to collapse. Do we want that? We've established strong peace and trade treaties, and they're currently providing trade routes to both India and China, to say nothing of keeping the Europeans out. They have at least the potential to be a full quarter of the global GDP while being a friendly Ymaryn-descended state.

Dont be stupid, better us that become the superpower than them
We can take their lands and become the one who provide the trade routes.
If you read carefully, it also mentioned that the north and western borders are hard for m7ghal to defend, Making their hold over it tenacious at best.
Which means it probably rebel in a few decades.
Which means still no trade route to india and china soon enough?
But if we take it, there will be and the plus is we get the money and power.

(Hi. You are clearly inexperienced here. Don't do that again. You know what
)This would be true if we had the choice of taking over the entire empire. We don't. We are offered the chance to take over just the western part, which doesn't guarantee access to India, much less China.

Hrm, Lailloken's point is valid. A healthy and stable Black Sheep is an influenceable state, especially on the matter of power projection...which does help a lot if we want to break the Syffrynites grip on the Kus, Undikus, and beyond. A potential synergy occurs in that, by stabilizing the BSheep as we do our reforms, it causes some bleed-over effects as they get adopted into the framework of the BSheep government system. Giving more cultural glue to prop us up even more. This is regardless of the fact that we're getting discontent BSheep lands on their western parts as they move more and more to the East.
Yes, I think this works.

Educational reform would involve improving the methods that the Gylruv use to teach their minor nobility and up. While this would make your universities comparatively less attractive, the initial crop of teachers and the curriculum would be set by you. More than that, it would hopefully make the idea of an educated nobility rather than a purely military elite a more attractive one, so there would be less issue with say a Ymaryn upper nobility ruling over a vast collection of boyars who don't respect them and who have little opportunity to travel somewhere where they might get a good education.
Social reform would be smoothing out some of the more problematic relationships between the nobility, merchants, and peasants to reduce the chances of some sort of revolt against distant power.
Bullying Not!Korea to a large extent. The Yi Sun-shin expie had a quiet career reforming border forts and beating steppe nomads into submission before having a comfortable retirement far from power, the king worried about the threat of a max stat general in his ranks, and just had him sit around doing nothing. A few years later the Nohon showed up, having actually managed to buy a pair of caravels off some desperate Sketch merchants. The Hung showed up, but by then the country had already been overrun and they had their own problems. The Nohon aren't exactly holding the territory as well as they could, but it has become a useful place to deploy dangerous warriors without needing to completely disarm the entire country.
What about administrative reform? Since it has such big weight, do People think it's really important?

Transforms away from the nobility being military first and administrators second (or sometimes third) and start installing some degree of actual bureaucracy.

It sounds like this is necessary for a smooth take over.
Education reform can come after the social reform. They need to see themselves as Ymaryn first before anything else - even if it's only their own version of what it means to be Ymaryn. They have to see themselves as, well, a race of People.

Not sure about this. Would like it to happen but I don't know about being directly rexsponsible.
And I hope that's culturally dominate and not militaristically dominate.
To use a Civ VI Rise and Fall term I hope their loyalty flips.

Alpha industrial/space age system design
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Alpha review of proposed new system for Industrial+ polities (currently most useful for Space Age+ polities)
Econ
Industrial capacity (Represents freely available throughput capacity)
Developed (Represents amount of capacity that can produced)
Pollution (Environmental and ecological damage caused by amount of development, high pollution can reduce Happiness, Living Standards, and have other effects)
Culture
Consciousness (Awareness of social issues and own place within the universe, influences Political Will, Happiness, and social type research)
Standard of Living (Economic output devoted towards consumer goods, entertainment, etc. High standard of living increases Happiness, while low standard of living decreases Happiness)
Happiness (How pleased the population is in general with their lot in life. High happiness improves certain actions, while low happiness risks insurrection, revolt, or civil war)
Technology
Academies (Top level intellectual throughput, determines how many highest level projects can be worked on at once)
Education (General level of population education, determines research speeds and number of Academies that can be sustained, also influences Consciousness)
Innovation (Level of lower level research done, leading to unexpected breakthroughs and new potential paths to take)
Diplomacy
Trust (How much you are generally trusted by others to mean what you say)
Espionage (Capacity for covert and subversive actions)
Martial
Militancy (Social acceptability of using violence to solve problems - internally or externally - influences Happiness, Political Will, and military type research)
Armies (General capacity for ground combat)
Fleets (General capacity for sea/space combat [depending on era])
Political Will - determines action throughput; influenced by Consciousness, Militancy, government type, economic type, events, and turn actions
The idea here is that you might have action lists with examples like say:
Develop Industry - Min. Industrial Capacity 1
1 Political Will, Increases Industrial Capacity by 1, Uses up 1 free Development
Increase Living Standards - Min. Industrial Capacity 1
1 Political Will, Temp Reduces Industrial Capacity by 1, Temp Increases Living Standards by 1
2 Political Will, Reduces Industrial Capacity by 1, Increases Living Standards by 1
Free Up Industry - Min. Permanent Living Standards 1
2 Political Will, Reduces Living Standards by 1, Increases Living Standards by 1
Improve Education - Min. Permanent Living Standards 1
2 Political Will, Reduces Living Standards by 1, Increases Education and Innovation by 1
I will work up a proper design document, but I hope this gets the idea across for what I am currently envisioning, so that feedback can be made.

Just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean you can call them inexperienced(Hi. You are clearly inexperienced here. Don't do that again. You know what
This would be true if we had the choice of taking over the entire empire. We don't. We are offered the chance to take over just the western part, which doesn't guarantee access to India, much less China.
Looking from my lack of profile picture, aren't you
HEY YOU ARE INEXPERIENCED, so I AM RIGHT.
This just shows how you didn't intend to debate it instead you try to make my point moot by calling me inexperienced, which shows your true intentions of writing that, which is to moot my point by accusing me inexperienced.
because I been in sv for quite some time and been in this quest since it's fucking start thank you
Not to mention, You didn't exactly refute my point that black sheep's western and Northern Territory is prone to rebellion and their hold over them is shaky.
Which means we are losing access to India and China soon regardless, which is why we should try to secure it. That is why we must seize it now.
Sigh, these kind of purposeful ignorance and calling people inexperienced instead of good debating that led to the previous great salt and thread lock.
