So, how are we population-wise? How far are we ahead in this region?
Global ranking, we have the largest cities in the world? Right?

I think festivals with Heroic Admin leader can do it.
...
But after she does something worthy of those stats. To celebrate women being just as cool kings as men.
Next turn full admin+infrastructure, after next - festivals. Possibly double main, but we'll see.
[X] Random Admin tech upgrade
[X] Magwyna (-1 Stability, other effects, [Poor Martial, Heroic Admin and Diplo])
[X] New Trails (-1 Econ, +1 Diplo, +1 Centralization, other effects)
[X] Take in some (Chance of stability loss, +2 Econ)
[Next] [Main] More Boats
[Next] [Secondary] Change Policy - Infrastructure - to the north
[Next] [Secondary] Extended Projects - Aqueducts? More Trails?

Forget it, Omegahugger's tired of holding his desires back!

[X] Grand Sacrifice (-3 Econ, +2 Stability)
[X] Everyone can come on in! (-4 Stability, chance of further loss, +11-15 Econ, further effects, chance of over crowding, Upper Valleyhome attains True City status)

Anyway, we absolutely should get that province next turn. The Dam would be very nice and give us good permanent boosts, but likely only on the scale of what the province would give us; an extra action every turn. Action count is the primary limitation on our growth in this quest.
The Dam is nice but not necessary; another province absolutely is if we care at all about maximizing our ability to do everything.
@Academia Nut
Does the Place to the Stars count as land management? (Triggering Divine Stewards)

I'm thinking going into Mysticism and defining women as having a "spiritual strength" as opposed to men's "physical strength" though that can codify into stereotypes over time.

Basically yeah. Not every year is a good year, but the People have mostly smoothed things out and everyone else lets the problems fall on their undesirables so there hasn't been major social disruption in a while.
At this point?
You have no standard actions that would be able to help.

Pls no grand sacrifice, without the Baby Boom it's suddenly super expensive

We care about negating our cultural drift issues more; as Saltern has shown, our ability to action-spam is already ridiculous and we should focus on keeping ourselves in one piece.
@Academia Nut , would, say, incredibly gifted female administrator making some (great, or at least good) deeds and then making a festival to celebrate women being just as good rulers as men help? Or would it result in the same backfire as Proclaim Glory?

@Academia Nut, it's become clear as of the last update that our people believe in gods. Since when did that happen, how does that interact with their spirit worship, and what gods to they believe in?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
There is some potential for backfire via the "exception that proves the rule" effect, but yes, having a female reign over a golden age would help considerably at putting the idea of "female rulers = good" into people's minds. Whether or not that means all women is a bit murkier.
The People's worship is... hmmm... probably best to think of it as being closer to Shintoism than the pop culture idea of classical polytheism. There are all sorts of spirits, spirits for everything, but some are obviously more important and powerful than others, and over the years the language has subtly shifted to distinguish between greater and lesser spirits, and I am translating this conception of "greater spirits" to be called "gods".
That just means what was required to do that project. Note the Kings tag and the lack of a Canal tag.
We're totally in one piece, that's what Stability 2+ means. Our action down there was heavily increased by the +3/turn that Baby Boom was giving us. Without that, we've lost a significant portion of our action equivalents. These past turns have also been boosted by Symphony since we were triple and quadruple maining the same action. We're going to switch back to a much more reasonable action per turn count now.

I think most of our heroes only last one turn, or at least aren't guaranteed a second turn, since we only elect kings from experienced (and old) province chiefs or Artisan/Farming/Etc Chiefs. Thats why our diplo hero from way back when had "lasts at least 2 turns" as a major bonus, cause he was really young for a king...or was he before we made the jump to provincial kingdom and we still just had High Chief?. @Academia Nut how old is Magwyna, and/or what sort of odds would we have on her lasting two+ turns?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Mid-thirties, so she would have one to two turns.

Is that "even odds of each" or is it biased in one direction?

- He/Him
It is somewhat biased towards two turns.

Okay, so festivals after 'golden age' is a good combo to at least alleviate risks of patriarchy, noted. Like, there is always risk of failure, but this is probably the best opportunity we'll have, so...
I mean, it still requires us to hit a golden age somehow.
In the update, our northern chiefs are making a 'faction' with the Stallions chief against our Southern chiefs. It is a warning sign.
We are not breaking apart yet, but when we will be breaking apart it will either be too late or, if we are lucky, if will be merely much more painful to deal with than now.
If a generation is 25 years, then she might die at age eighty-ish if we're really lucky, which is pretty old.

To an extent, I am just letting you know where the political fault lines are, so that if something bad were to happen then it would not come as a surprise where provinces might go in a hypothetical civil war.

@Academia Nut, if we pick Maggie, does her heroic admin proc for the other mid-turn orderings (I.E. do we use her roll to decide which stability-affecting actions go first)?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Yes, most definitely.
