On the other hand... you can't get invaded by Napoleon if you ARE Napoleon
Patronizing and yet respectful of rights? Sounds like the people.

It's a road that the Ymaryn have been practical sprinting on for millennia, they know how to do this.

Thanks for clearing that up.
[X] Humanism
We should try to avoid going down the "we know better than those filthy barbarians" line of thought, since we know what it did for us last time.

Well, that went weird....
Absolutism sounds like a good path towards common ownership of the land, but also towards revolution.
We can't make money with humanism. So sadly, that means going with:

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be a Stewardship variant, it'd be an Absolutism variant - under Stewardship, the lands still belong to their original owners, they're just being managed by the bank until the loan is paid back. If you're taking the lands away and then giving them to other people, you're still taking them away from their original owners (rather than giving them back freely or managing them), which is the core of the issue AFAICT.

So we give them lip-service about ownership, but essentially hijack actual ownership in return for small rent? I love it.
With this setup we the Ymaryn can steer Gylruv development for our own benefit in a completely legal manner without "stealing" everything. Let's make some money.

EDIT: Not to mention if we do a good job the Gylruv commoners will look kindly to Ymaryn taking over.

Stealing land without technically stealing it. I'm liking stewardship more and more.
The people of those lands we steward will see superior Ymaryn leadership and will flock to us!

From what it sounds like Stewardship actually sounds similar to certain banking practices used in medieval europe in order to get around the prohibition against lending money at interest where the money lender would have the right to all income from a piece of property provided as collateral until the dept was repaid.

Patronizing? Yes.
But some may realize that they get a competent administrator for their financial woes without having to do any work, and still more or less keep the same daily life as they previously had.

Technically humanism can also result in the bank going "Nope, the original owner was an idiot, we're gonna give this land over to the peasants actually working it," so it can still involve land being stripped from the owners, but with a better PR spin to try to encourage business because the bank is "fair" and isn't necessarily seeking to screw its customers or conquer foreign territory via predatory loans.

@Academia Nut how rich is the Ymaryn King compared to the Gylruv Patriarch now?

Wait, what? What's the chance of that happening over the giving it back to the previous irresponsible noble owners thing?

This is amazing. We accidentally striped our lower nobility of their land.
Like, nations have self destructed after putting in massive amounts of time, effort and resources to try to do the same, and still failed to do it.
And yet our bank just 'accidentally' the lower nobility.
As already said, 10/10, would establish national bank again.

You know the thing where in some countries nobility went from outright owning land to more or less just collecting income from it? Let's do that. Once we have enough nobles whose lands are essentially being managed by the crown, we can finally reverse the failed experiment that started when we first voted to Distribute Land.
