Springtime of Nations II: A European Republic Quest

Reader mode
[X] To Moscow by 1900
-[X] Begin construction of the Friedrich-Engels-Canal* and the Rhein-Herne-Canal* using the expertise we gained from the Karl-Marx-Canal. Use all technological methods to finish construction quickly and hire foreign workers if necessary, supplying the Ruhr area and taking strain away from our railway network is essential.
-[X] Build large railway routes that will allow fast mobilization and steady supply along our most likely offensive routes against the Imperial League. Conduct regular mobilization drills and work-out mobilization schedules that involve the War Commission, the Unions and other interested parties.
-[X] Provide funding and training for radical groups in Italy and begin drawing up plans for quick intervention to support progressive forces should the situation escalate.
-[X] Formalize the counter-intelligence role of the National Gendarmerie and provide the additional funding, training and manpower the agency needs to fulfil that role. Also create an intelligence agency that collects intel on foreign nations and provides it, along with analysis, to the War Commission and authorized Assembly members.
-[X] Bankroll a program of subsidies and no-interest loan to accelerate the growth of future industries like the Benz Motor Co-op. Technological leadership is crucial for the security of the Republic.
-[X] Offer military goods at factory price to Spain and encourage barter deals instead of currency payment.
 
[X] Plan: Education, Electrification, Expansion
-[X] Flood the country with pro-literacy propaganda. It is the duty of every citizen to know how to read, write, and help others to obtain these skills.
-[X] Create programs to help people learn national minority and foreign languages, focusing in particular on languages used by immigrant populations.
-[X] Research ways to generate electricity from the wind and solar heating. Germany must be Green!
-[X] Investigate means of generating and distributing electricity on municipal and, potentially, national scales using hydroelectric plants. Both urban and rural electrification projects should be planned and pilot programs implemented.
-[X] Formally consolidate our "Alpine Academy" as an intelligence and counterintelligence service with a mandate to operate against foreign powers only. Explicitly forbid any investigation of or operation against German citizens, instead enumerating matters of internal national security as the province of the National Gendarmerie.
-[X] Increase exports and sweetheart trade deals to our commercial partners in the Balkans and Latin America, with the end goal of becoming an "arsenal of democracy" to counteract the economic and military aggression of imperialist powers.
 
[X] Rekindling the Republic of Virtue
-[X] Create a new national holiday, Mobilization Day, where all citizens of the Republic participate in a mock mobilization. This is to bring our citizens together, and provide regular stress testing for mobilization practices.
-[X] Continue naval expansion and army reforms
-[X] Formalize an intelligence agency to gather information on our enemies and organize the activities of graduates of our Alpine Academy.
-[X] Provide recognition and funding for social groups that promote republican virtues in defense of the republic, such as community halls and hunting clubs.
-[X] Support the creation of Junior War Clubs in high schools across Germany, where students will practice and compete against each other in mock war games. These clubs will be democratically organized, preparing students for service in the Landwehr.
-[X] Facilitate the organization of a civic religion devoted to the republican struggle and dissolution of crowns.
 
[X] Plan: The moderate case for war
-[X] Build upon our successful peace conference to deepen ties with the Entente, focusing on our shared enmity with the imperial league to see how much the Entente is likely to let us get away with if we go to war east.
-[X] Organize a dedicated national counter intelligence agency to investigate foreign spies and sabotage, answering to the assembly directly.
-[X] Organize a dedicated foreign intelligence agency under the assembly to keep it informed of political developments in other countries.
-[X] Seek to renew our alliance with Italy by promising them gains at the expense of Austria if war breaks out. Reassure them that shared strategic interests matter more than divergence in internal politics.
-[X] Discreetly reach out to Japan to see if they would be amenable to opening up another front in a hypothetical war with Russia, and generally deepen ties with the country.
-[X] Send diplomats touring Europe and America, building a case for war against the autocrats of Russia and Austria.

-[x] Encourage Immigration of the oppressed to the Republic.
-[x] Set up non-territorial councils and communication hubs so that people of particular languages and culture groups can discuss matters relevant to them as such.
-[x] Work to devolve more control over local resources to local planning organs.
-[x] Push to establish electrical infrastructure to supply various localities with electricity.

[X] Plan ISWC Internationalism
-[X] Work with Spain & ISWC member organizations to create the democratic, anti-capitalist, & anti-monarchist Volunteer Aid Movement. VAM, which is officially unaffiliated with any countries nor the ISWC, will have humanitarian aid & armed volunteering public sections.
-[X] VAM will also have a secret section to foment revolutionary cells. It will selectively vet & recruit from Republican Alliance revolutionary training sites' graduates, veterans of Alliance members' intelligence services, & radicals in non-revolutionary states.
-[X] Invite ISWC members to hold the 3rd International & propose for a regular International every four years with a Continuing Committee, elected & subject to recall by ISWC member organizations that attend Internationals, tasked to administrate ISWC during intervals between them.
-[X] Petition 3rd International to create a Research Bureau, which will do research to further revolutionary theoretical development, aid socialist polities' transition to statelessness, & improve mass organizing strategies against absolutism and capital.
-[X] Establish pilot communes in places within Germany that have strong anarchist or less-centralist socialists' support, as well as a balance of urban & rural production. Attempt to create less centralized versions of the trialed labor voucher system through them.
-[X] Organize union laboratories in Germany to foster bottom-up answers towards the industrialization of tomorrow by pairing up scientists, engineers, & factory workers' expertise.
 
[x] Plan We Did the Economy, Now the Military
-[x] Continue the program of naval expansion, aiming to match the Scandinavian and Russian fleets. Ensure Britain is aware of our limited naval ambitions.
-[x] Match the increased naval funding with a general increase to the Landwehr's funding, to support an increase in the standing size, improvements to their equipment, and extensive drills and war games.
-[x] Use the connections of our new citizens and the Alps Academy to strengthen and support a network of agitators and resistance leaders in the East…and in Italy.
-[x] Reach out to the independent states of Africa which rebuffed Italy. Offer them trade, military assistance, and free education in the Republic.
-[x] Invest heavily in the arms industry and its supporting industries. Aim to have as much as possible under state control.

[X] Vanguard Communist Party (International Clique)
-[X] Centralize the planning committees of the various Commissions into a standing Planning Conference Committee with the initiative to place sectoral and cross-sector planning bills before the Assembly.
-[X] Invite ISWC members to hold the 3rd International & propose for a regular International every four years with a Continuing Committee, elected & subject to recall by ISWC member organizations that attend Internationals, tasked to administrate ISWC during intervals between them.
-[X] Legally enshrine a right to literacy, with anyone who has been prevented from obtaining literacy in their mother-tongue being provided the materials and instruction needed.
-[X] As the implementation of Labor Recognition has only just begun, provide full support to the Commission on Equality to avoid immediate backsliding and continue the effort.

[x] Plan National Market
–[x] Establish the German Foreign Development Bank to help direct investment and provide loans to our allies in need of financial aid. Most of the focus will be on Spain for now to aid in local development.
--[x] Establish a streamlined framework for issuing and trading of bonds by local governments, banks and commercial enterprises to let them raise more capital from the people to fund projects. Bonds will only be nominally taxed to encourage their use.
--[x] Establish generous programs and permanent grants for supporting artists, local fairs, cultural festivals etc celebrating German culture, folkways and nationalism.
--[x] Pass a major tax relief package for families to encourage population growth. The more children, the greater the benefits.
--[x] Establish a guest worker and student program with all expenses sponsored travel from anyone willing including their families, with the option to become a citizen or return home whenever they wish.
--[x] Encourage mergers of industrial co-operatives to allow for better economies of scale through formation of industrial giants, capable of competing with capitalist corporations on equal ground.

I really think the foreign development bank will have great payoffs (hehe).
I also dig the cultural promotion, some of the other plans in that direction remind of very unfortunate periods in our own history.

-[X] Reintroduce and formalize the morale and mental-healthcare functions that the commissariat in the United Front had taken on during the Second German Revolution.
-[X] Legally enshrine a right to literacy, with anyone who has been prevented from obtaining literacy in their mother-tongue being provided the materials and instruction needed.
-[X] Celebrate the wedding of Walpurga Voight and her wife as a proverbial gauntlet thrown at the face of reaction.

You should fix your format. You left out '[' at the start. The tally doesn't count that.

A mobilization day as a 'holiday' seems like the sort of thing any normal civilian would fucking despise to actually do, and the national religion of Republicanism reeks of demagoguery. It requires EVERYONE in Germany to be radically enthusiastic about the whole idea to work, and that's why it won't ever realistically take off. It's a wasted effort that could be used better elsewhere.

[X] German Futurism
-[X] Hold an international weapons fair for inventors to show off their latest creations. Invite delegates from friendly nations and the Entente
-[X] Expand and electrify Railways and Canals using caternary wires, to speed up traffic and increase the amount of cargo that can be carried.
-[X] Invest in language courses to promote the learning of foreign languages, as polylinguism has shown to increase creativity. Polish, Czech, Hungarian, and Serbian are all good languages for Germans to learn.
-[X] Set a bounty to be paid out to the first person or group who can demonstrate a reliable self-propelled flying machine.
-[X] Publish a propaganda leaflet to be spread around the Imperial Federation explaining how absolute monarchy is an outdated system and republicanism is the future.
-[X] Put together a "time capsule", filled with photographs, letters and common items from today. It should be opened 100 years after the day it is buried.
