With Paternalism coming up I think Beh becomes a big question. Stymyr gets sphered HARD, but Beh also has a good deal of Hes influence and Hes may see an attempt to sphere them as a counter to their influence and spark WW1 to stop "DC aggressive diplomacy".
I think we should avoid trying to cut Hes out of Beh. If we sphere Beh it should be expressly a shared sphere between Hes and us. Perhaps enforced neutrality with Beh forced to act as a buffer state. Both DC and Hes agree to support Beh indeoendance VS any agressor (exspecially the other) and Beh signs a defensive pact with both the DC and Hes.
Hes gets REALLY solid assurance that Ochior will fail if they want to move north. Hes and DC get a neutral buffer state jointly sphered and mostly ignored so the two best armies in the world don't rub shoulders.
And seeing as any DC X Hes war is gonna happen in Beh lands ANYWAY, agreeing to side with the defender isn't arduous when they are gonna ether be enough to hold the line or fold like a house of cards with little middle ground.
I thought the the DC needed a strong Tech lead to sphere powers? Stymyr and Beh are technological peers and therefore (I expect) they are ineligible.
Anyway, here's to making a case for Electromagnetic Theory.
Doing it gives us both an extra supporter for spectroscopy and Hiding in the Rinbow. THermodynamics only supports spectroscopy.
We get steel RAILS through Kiel. We pay them our going rate for steel, to their profit.Don't we already have access to cheap steal through the Scandinavians?
We need cheap steel to make railroads cheaper - we only have access to cheap steel half (or more!) a continent away from where we want to build most of our railroads.Don't we already have access to cheap steal through the Scandinavians?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Of course, whether people's intentions actually were good is up for debate.The Narrative structure of this quest.
Past Thread: We are not the baddies. *picks nice traits but fail to realize narrative repercussions and become haughty, pseudo slaving elves*
@Academia Nut: You are the baddies.
Present Thread: We refuse to be baddies. *picks diplomacy but ends up becoming militaristic, web weaving spider elves with a dangerous possibility of believing in the trite that is eugenics*
@Academia Nut : By refusing to be baddies you are even worse baddies.
Future Thread: We are most certainly not the baddies. *Creates an ethnostate that spreads to become a literal Galactic Empire who must defeat those pesky rebels. Wouldn't a giant space laser be nice? Sounds like a cool mega project*
Academia Nut: ...
WE'RE TURNING OUT LIKE SOME FREAKY DARK ELF DRAKA. FUCK ME.
