The Young Eagle - A Napoleon Quest

Reader mode
For a compromise how about this, in the beggining Nappy is irreligious, the stress of war and politics prevent him from exploring his faith, but later on he begins to rediscover his faith and become a faithful catholic. Does that sound good enough?

I'm happy to go with Sertorius' suggestion.

Thanks everyone, I find it a good solution, since actually many (if not most) of the Revolutionaries of France were raised Catholic, but when the big thing started, they gladly went along with it, keeping religion well in check (Talleyrand was the most famous example, having been a Catholic Bishop).
 
So, next up is the epilogue for Sardinia - and hopefully the 'slower than real time' section of the quest. We have a fairly inconsequential vote to cap things off - and a pretty massive one when Nap Nap gets back to France.

QM this "inconsequential" vote got more voters than the previous ones. The last time we have anywhere close to this amount of voters is when Brummel tried to bribe us.

Sardinia - Epilogue
  • Threadmarks
    • June 1, 1793:


    Piazza Yenne, where Sardinian independence was proclaimed - pictured at a modern rally for Cagliari Football Club, with about the same number of people in the square.

    Piazza Yenne, Cagliari:


    "We have been, for so long, the tools of our masters. Not people, not Sardinians, just possessions in the portfolios of foreign kings. Property, to be bought and sold." Gian Maria Angioy's voice bounces off the buildings of the Piazza as you watch from a nearby restaurant. Sitting at your table over a plate of delicious slop called Zuppa Gallurese, papers scattered around as you work by candle light. "The time has come, citizens of Sardinia! The end of feudalism is here, and a new day is dawning!" A thousand torches illuminate Piazza Yenne as the citizens of Cagliari come to see what the country's new leader has to say - though looking out the window, you can see that some of them are clearly not out there in the middle of the night by choice, but have probably gone to make sure they're seen as supporters in case the new regime is less democratic than it claims to be.


    It's near midnight by the time Angioy steps into the restaurant, making his way to your table where you nurse some Limoncello and scribble down some notes on how to divide your share of the Ortolani family fortune among the men. "So, Francese, you'll be on your way?" You look up and nod. "My men are National Guardsmen. They didn't sign up for occupation duty, and the time has come for me to return home anyway." Angioy nods in understanding, before sitting down opposite you and ordering some liquor. "Well, I can hardly say I'm displeased that you're not trying to take over the country." He chuckles politely - though since you two don't really know each other, he doesn't joke for long before getting to the point. "I was hoping I could convince you to stay just a little longer, however. The task ahead of our government is monumental - the drafting of a new constitution. I hear you like to write on politics. I would ask you to spend a little longer with us, advising me from the French perspective as we write the document - or at least some parts of it."



    Several actions are available for Napoleon to help draft sections of the new Sardinian Constitution. Each action is an intelligence roll, some boosted by traits. Since Napoleon is merely advising, there are no real consequences for failing - but each action taken, successful or not, will increase Napoleon's time in Sardinia by two weeks. Importantly, it should be noted that taking these actions provides experience towards traits that will buff Napoleon's abilities as a lawmaker in the future and increase some stats. Consider it 'on the job training'.

    Word of stuff you have a hand in here will eventually make it back to France and influence how people view your politics - though propaganda always exists to change public perception if needed.





    [] Politely decline: You've been in Sardinia too long. You wish your allies the best, but it's time to go home. (Don't take any of the constitution options if you pick this.)


    Choose as many as you wish (+2 Weeks spent on Sardinia for each)

    [] Constitution - Sons of Hellas and Judea:
    [] Write in: The legal status of Jews and Greeks in Sardinia

    [] Constitution - The Moors:
    [] Write in: The status of the native aristocracy and clergy

    [] Constitution - The Coral Trade:
    [] Write in: The status of the valuable coral trade and whether a monopoly is granted as promised

    [] Constitution - The form of government:
    [] Write in: How should Sardinia's government be structured?

    [] Constitution - Civil liberties:
    [] Write in: Which rights such as freedom of the press or freedom of association should Sardinians enjoy, and to what extent?

    [] Constitution - The Military:
    [] Write in: Should a Sardinian military be created by the constitution, and how much power should it have?

    [] Constitution - The Status of Women:
    [] Write in: What should the rights of women in the new republic be?

    [] Constitution - Slavery:
    [] Write in: Galley slavery is rare, but sometimes practiced, on Sardinia. Should this institution be outlawed? What should happen to the slaves?

    [] Constitution - Poor Laws:
    [] Write in: Should some sort of social safety net be instituted by the state?

    [] Constitution - Religious Freedom:
    [] Write in: Should all religions be treated equally on Sardinia by law?

    [] Constitution - LGBT Laws:
    [] Write in: Non-heterosexual sexual practices are illegal on Sardinia. Should this change?

    [] Constitution - Trade, Protectionism and The Economy:
    [] How should Sardinia's foreign trade (minus the coral trade) be set up? Should there be more of a free trade focus, or a protectionist angle?

    [] Constitution - Write in:

    ???, 1793


    You board Treguet's flagship, your transports lined up and filled with Corsicans and Marseillais. It's hard to believe you were only on Sardinia for a few months - it feels like you're returning to a new world.

    Choose one:

    [] Have Treguet stop at Corsica and then Marseilles, and disband the national guard units. They've already done more than you could have asked, and they've earned their rest.

    [] Keep the units intact on your return to France - with a new government in place, you never know where you might be sent. Not having to waste time levying a new force might be useful.


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    QM Note: Please vote by plan for this one

    Okay so except for this,I'll be leaving the constitution in your guys's hands but I will make my opinion clear.

    Everyone should have all the civil liberties that is guaranteed

    Women should have equal rights

    And the Jews and Greeks

    LGBT also included

    Anybody can practice any religion of there choosing without fear of persecution

    Slavery MUST be banned

    A Free Trade stance

    A guarantee on their monopoly in the Coral Trade

    A Presidential Republic with CLEAR balance and separation of powers

    An all volunteer military force with maybe a 3-5 year mandatory conscription

    For the constitution, I think that we should spend some time drafting it, but no more than a month. Things are moving far too quickly back in France for us to stay away for long. Something to burnish our credentials and then it's back to more important things.

    So let's do Civil Liberties for all and a ban on Slavery unless someone wants to add more

    I'm thinking civil libs and government myself, and then just leaving. Those are the two big things and the ones that will look best to France when they hear about what we've done.
