Oglethorpe's dream: A Colony of Georgia quest

The income tax is kept low, and not for a lack of trying as we have faced backlash. As for the pubs, all I remember is that we roll on the lower end of the spectrum there.

Granted, we've historically had very good rolls concerning agriculture( the famous foundation of the trickle-up theory) and some shipbuild success, but I'm still not convinced going all out in the 1st year turn is safe. If anything backfires then it'll be a year before we reconvene.

Yes the public pub never took off. Other ventures are more or less successful though. I am somewhat sure we are raking in tax dollars from our business and trade sectors on top of the farming income. If super pressed we can take out a loan from motherland, pretty confident we wouldn't be seeing an empty treasury.

Breaking news! Georgia government continues to attempt governance, it would had been a sad endeavor if they are responsible for a whole nation; but as it stands it's kinda cute how they fail from time to time.
 
Georgian governance where the sheer amount of misfortune spreads with a bit of burning but the farmers are always prosperous. I now wonder if we have to rebuild a courthouse when those former DPH workers found something burnable.
 
You can only prosper in Georgia if you are a sex worker or a farmer. For everyone else, there is only s u f f e r i n g.

Augusta overreacts big time!!
  • Threadmarks
    • Neighbors uncommitted to improving relations:
    Talks between Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and the Autonomous Regions are held in Augusta, Georgia. The talks drag out for five months touching on various topics but end with nothing but a committal to continue "open dialogue and relations".

    Festival cancelled due to rioting:
    The festival has to be cancelled due to rioting after the trial and the heavy handed response of the Augustan authorities...

    D.P.H convicts get off with life imprisonment:
    An air of tension hangs over the City of Augusta while the trial is conducted. This bubble of tension busts when the verdict is announced. The verdict announced is Life Imprisonment. This causes the city to erupt into rioting as the verdict everyone wanted and expected was death by hanging. The city police are unable to contain the rioting which devolves into looting and the Augustan Gendarmerie is called in by the city government to put down the rioters. The Gendarmerie battles the rioters for three days until finally on the fourth day the city is at peace.
    This peace however comes at a cost as twelve are dead, an unaccountable amount are wounded and one hundred have been hanged by the city government for looting. Already Savannah has condemned the Augustan council for in their words "inexcusable barbarity and savageness toward their own people". But New Inverness has had the opposite reaction praising Augusta for "keeping the peace and a level head when many would falter."
    All eyes are on Maryburg the Provincial government must make a statement and if they deem necessary legislate laws in response for the situation.

    [] Statement
    [] Anything else you wish to do with the situation (subject to QM veto)

    Roads built:
    The roads inland are built as instructed by the government but go unnoticed due to the actions of Augusta's city council...

    Oxford professors decline invitation:
    The distinguished professors politely decline the invitation to speak at the Davenport Complex due to not wishing to be associated with the actions of the Augustan Gendarmerie...

    Georgia flooded with agricultural specialists:
    Luckily the Agricultural Specialists come before the rioting. Their help has led to as much as a 200% increase in crop yield in some places. The Province is swimming in food! (Trait gain: Have to roll a five or below to enter a food shortage)

    Books arrive and put in libraries:
    The books on English and math arrive at the libraries but are unremarked upon due to well you know Augusta...

    Loss of business to New Jersey:
    People have caught on to this Arsenal idea as the Province of New Jersey has built one in Middlesex County. Due to the instability in Georgia most have decided to take their business to the Middlesex Arsenal despite us advertising for the Savannah Arsenal.

    Can't build fast enough:
    The government has a good problem for once as they can't build the granaries fast enough leading to food rotting in the fields. The farmers are furious but we are having a problem made from positives for once!

    Civil Servants have salary raised:
    The salary of Georgia's civil servants is raised but it goes unremarked upon by the newspapers and general public. Due to the Augusta riots.

    I very much enjoyed writing this!!!:evil:    ;):)

    So this is nice, and I'm fairly sure we have a diverse crop. Also, considering our instability and New Jersey trying to muscle in Arsenal, how do we leverage this food into profit?

    two ways sell it on the international market as a raw good( grain, Barley. Oats) or process it into a finished food product (like pastries, Bonbons) and sell it to South Carolina and the Autonomous Regions.
     
    Soon we will have rails to begin order 888. Flooding European grain market with cheap Georgian grain and cause downfall of the old nations. :V

    (Though in reality it would only increase the bankruptcy rate of small farmers and speed up industrialization via flooding labor market with cheap broke former farmers.)

    If we have too much cereal, there are two ways. One is hard liquiro such as wisky or other grain alcohols. The other, given our maritime aspirations is hard tack.

    Or you know we could have grain fed animals.
     
    [x] [Statement] "The Maryburg Provincial Government supports the Augustan city council's decision to call for Gendarmerie in light of the rioting and looting. The body count however is an inexcusable failure to the people we are responsible for. We will introduce new measure to ensure such sad affairs does not occur again."
    [x] [Action] New law to legitimize peaceful protests in designated areas and public strike while harshly punishes violence, looting, and arson.
     
    I think we might need a royal commission on the conduct of all police forces in Georgia to see the differences in opinion of the two other cities as well as possibly legislating some sort of criminal code amd other legal codices.

    Do we? The issue was that the police were overwhelmed not that they misbehaved or were corrupt.
     
    I'm all for police reform, but that's not what we're being asked for right now.

    We can do that with the next turn.

    • The General Assembly passes a law that legalizes public strike and peaceful protest in certain areas. On the other hand this law harshly punishes violence, looting, and arson. It is seen by all sides as a satisfactory compromise. While in session the General Assembly also plan the next legislative year while they are in session. Also the Budget finally permits the building of forts on Ossabaw and Sapelo islands which were purchased by the province at the time of King George the thirds ascension to the throne. Land on each island was set aside to build forts on when the budget permitted. Now the General Assembly has the required surplus.
