I was just wondering what the current objectives we have to work towards would be?
Springtime of Nations II: A European Republic Quest

Destroy Austria, Russia, France, Britain, Belgium, and the Dutch in that order. Or at least their monarchies.
You are not placing the Dutch in the first place?
Currently our major goal is to win a war with the Absolutist Bloc (Russia, Austria, and Scandinavia) without the Entente (Britain and France) interfering or stabbing us in the back to maintain a balance of power. Ideally, we would destroy Austria as a polity and liberate Poland from Russia. To that end, I see our current priorities as
1. Strengthening our armed forces—the Landwehr are doing well right now so we should prioritize our lacking fortifications and our still anemic navy.
2. Strengthening our allies—Spain and Italy are the only two powers we can count on so we want to help them industrialize and improve their own militaries
3. Strengthening our economy—via infrastructure projects, especially electrification now that the tech has advanced enough.
4. Making more allies—The Balkan states (save Bulgaria which is a Russian catspaw) are restful and a good way to threaten Austria, while a dedicated diplomatic offensive could get the US to back us against the Entente
5. Destabilizing the absolutists—by supporting revolutionary organizations in their territory.

Also we might be able to establish some diplomatic cover in the Entente, although that will be tricky and possibly not that useful.

That is correct. It didn't get mentioned in the updates because it wasn't really Germany-relevant.
Aw man so I guess we have to empower the Americas so they can get more States right

Enabling American imperialism is both bad and counter to our existing policy (i.e., freedom and independence for Spain's ex-colonies). The republics of this world may seek world power in and through the framework of the Triple (sic.) Alliance, provided they meet the appropriate democratic and social benchmarks.

Bundie V is doing well. His caretaker is on a local planning council and the hours are much better than they were in the pre-war Assembly, so they see each other more often. He's old enough that he's started showing interest in that nice girl cat down the street, so there may be something brewing there.
That's a complex question and a detailed answer is outside the scope of this quest, but they do have socialist and radical parties (or factions within the big-tent parties, at least) of moderate size who are affiliated with the Second International. Those guys like Germany a lot.

The Republican Party is undoubtedly better and healthier place as a result of having some sort of guiding ideology to turn to once slavery was 'resolved', rather than just becoming a stinking morass of corruption.

About the normal amount.
Also, I'm going to stop doing these small replies so people don't get pinged egregiously. If anyone wants to chat with me, I'm on the Wordsmiths Discord.
Well it's getting close to 24 hours
