On Integration and Reconstruction
Rebuilding Integration and Reconstruction represent the restoration of a territory's physical resources -- housing, agriculture, infrastructure, etc -- to the pre-war standard. It also represents clearing away rubble, digging up mines, removing unexploded shells, and so forth. When Complete, the territory is functioning at pre-war levels in all fields, at minimum.
Political Integration means the establishment of Alliance-standard political structures and political parties within the integrated territories. Political Reconstruction means establishing similar structures and allowing the formation of parties for each nation being reconstructed, with variations depending on national and local preference. In both respects, it refers to breaking noble and capitalist power structures, enfranchising regular people on a local level, and other radical-socialist policy priorities. When Complete, the territory in question will be considered ready for full political autonomy.
Infrastructure Integration and Reconstruction are roughly the same: bringing the territory in question up to Alliance standard with regards to transport, power, communications, sanitation, and other logistical issues. This also represents the degree to which aid efforts are increasingly less needed, thus freeing up the Republic's own resources. When Complete, the territory no longer relies on outside aid efforts for basic services.
Military Integration and Reconstruction are also the same: bringing the locality up to Alliance standard in military matters, including recruitment, garrisons, training, and related infrastructure. This also represents the degree to which territorial defense and garrison duties can be handed off to the locals, thus freeing up the Republic's own resources. When Complete, the territory is ready for full demobilization.
Economic Integration and Reconstruction represent the degree to which the local economy has been radicalized and socialized, as well as brought up to Alliance standards. This means cooperativization, yeomanry, and state ownership in place of private ownership; mechanization and modernization of manufacturing, extractive, and agricultural efforts; extension of labor recognition and other social labor reforms; and other related fields. When Complete, the territory no longer requires external supervision or support to manage its economic interests.
