  • [X] Plan Laying the Ground Work
    -[X]Tax Increases: While it would make the peasantry even more upset, more resources are needed to increase the pace of progress and military buildup. This would lead to a slight increase in the amount of goods and labor requisitioned from rural areas, but would probably not have too many negative effects. Members of the People's Army would be exempted from this, hopefully keeping them loyal. (One of Military or Development can have its budget raised).
    -[x]Planned Funding: The military will get the same amount of resources that they are expected to. While Gordon still isn't entirely satisfied with this amount, it is at least enough to significantly increase the strength of the People's Army, hopefully making the occupation of the Republic impossible.
    -[X]Increase Funding: A modern army is impossible without a modern economy. While it would require sacrifices now, in five or ten years we will be able to field an army and navy far more powerful than would be suggested by our country's size and population. (175 Resources per turn)
    -[X]Modified Greek Alphabet: This is the modern Greek alphabet with a few extra characters for sounds present in Mycenaean Greek which were later lost. This fits the language better than other scripts, and while it is different from either Linear B or the Latin alphabet, someone who already knows an alphabetic script can likely learn the Latin alphabet fairly easily.

    -[X]Simplified Linear B: While the complete mess of Linear B is obviously unsuitable for mass literacy, it can be simplified while still keeping its unique characteristics. Ideographic signs can be largely eliminated except as shorthand, and accents can be used to either indicate signs as either consonants without a following vowel or other sounds that could not be written directly in traditional Linear B. However, this would still be much more unwieldy, complex, and harder to teach than other options.
    [x] plan KISS
    -[x]Keep The Course: A decrease in taxes, while it would be nice, is simply impractical. The average peasant will still have more food in their stomachs than they did before the revolution, and in a few years they should be complacent enough to be allowed to participate in at least local governance. (Keep both Military and Development budgets in the middle, or increase one and cut the other)

    -[x]Planned Funding: A more balanced approach will let us make substantial progress on economic and technological advancement, if not as much as some would hope. (125 Resources per turn)
    -[x]Latin Alphabet: A modification of the Latin alphabet with accents used to cover all the sounds of Mycenaean Greek, this would be the most similar to English and the most familiar to Americans. However, it doesn't fit the language quite as well as a modified Greek alphabet, and is viewed by some as imposing a foreign culture on the Mycenaeans.
