Let's be honest, there will always be some Problems in France. We can do our best, but some People will always be unhappy with the current state of affairs, for various reasons.

If the disaster roll rolls low enough, and the cause of the disaster roll high enough, you might see strikes going on in major industries all over France by disgruntled workers having wages cut due to the influx of ex soldiers.
Great we could end up dealing a worker's revolution before Russia made it popular?
Oh God, are we gonna get Communism (or Marxism) a few decades early?

No. Just people wanting a minimum wage and more unskilled labor jobs.
Plus we've got a lot of literate ex junior officers who are trying to ply in the teaching trade so we've got a boat load of teachers in need of work.
We've still got entire revolutions to go before that kind of thinking will get thought of.
Basically we have what is called, a high unemployment rate.

Oh, well, that is more manageable. I'm sure we can think of something to lower that rate.

Oh and the best part?
Because Brian is gone, we can't refine the education system for a one French language courses, and standardize schooling.

Well it's a lot harder.
But it IS possible. That's enough for me for now.

Not gonna respond to the rest of it but we are absolutely not keeping Republicanism alive, we killed it (although really Brian was the one to start it's death), and are currently part of a constitutional monarchy, and by slandering Robby's name so hard due to the nat 1, it's likely that the entire idea of a nation without a monarchy will be tainted by association
And tbh, I really like Rob, OTL at least. He was a good person genuinely doing what he thought was best until his mental breakdowns lead to him becoming a bad person doing what he genuinely thought was best. I have similar mental health struggles to him, and in him see many lessons on how things can go wrong, as well as how they can go right, as, for example, his earlier purges, killing the king and whatnot, were justified, and unlike Danton he was about as far from corrupt as possible
We may have killed Republicanism(outside of the US), but Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality still live on!
Yeah, I can tell you SEVERELY misread this Quest then. Also, as far as I understand it, the Nat 1 was ONLY for Robby's Personal Reputation. Whether or not he, personally, was the Champion of freedom, liberty and democracy in the eyes of the public that he claimed to be. Not the Ideas of Democracy and Republic itself.
But I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on the first point at least.
EDIT: Also, sorry to hear about your mental health struggles. I hope you're doing okay and will continue to do fine in the future.

And to summon up once and for all my personal Opinion of Robespierre, both OTL and in this Quest:
Cool Motive, still paranoid mass-murder.

I think I want to say this and end any more conversation of this shit because I'm to tired to deal with this.
Napoleon has not given up on the ideas of the Republic or the Revolution. And anyone who claims otherwise does not read the actions I have offered or remembered the Promise he made to us regarding when we married him.
Never Betray the Republic and the ideas of it.
Hell, you can influence him to abdicate (Although admittedly, it is very hard to do, and will take some convincing on your part) and re-establish the Republic if you so choose, and going back to being very wealthy private citizens and very important generals in the Army. Basically Pull a Washington.

Turns out, the growing demand for Junior officers made many non commissioned officers into Junior, who were illiterate... and now they were trained, know how to read and write in a level that could be comparable to a 7th grader, they decided to become teachers for the local townships and within the cities of France.
Because of the young population, and the people willing to learn and be taught, along with the growing pains of industrialization, a shift away from agrarian society to an industreal one, and a looming baby boom that is going to begin next year...
Of course there are teachers that are in need.
And if we call them up, you bet your ass their students will follow.

Indeed. And you unfortunately cannot affect it.
Not possible, at least in the scope of thi quest.
However, you are going to love the national spirit that you have just gained.
I mean, Haiti basically took over most of the Caribbean and is currently running it in our Name. Not sure what the State of the Louisiana Territories is and if we can still sell them to the USA.
