Your Emperess, it is surely heresy to even suggest that we should allow other inferiors to challenge your divine right to rule. However it has always been the Empires way to improve the lot of our subjects and any trinkets we can bring to the mob binds them closer to us.

I would be of the opinion that forcing the release of a full nation would be the best course of action, assuming the war goes as we expect we can look to add our cores as a war goal later.

All hail the might of the Empire and it's Emperess!

Once the army is ready, we must make all haste to cripple the Russian beast before it strikes down another European nation.

I see no need for political reform when the Empire is led by Your Empress. The Empire thrives, as it is, under Your benevolent rule.

- Michelangelo Favero

(The number of reactionaries is a bit disconcerting. Not sure what they hope to accomplish with very few reforms passed already and a monarchy in place.)

Senators Favero and Γκρέυ, We are pleased that we are in agreement regarding both Russia and reforms. Do any other Senators have concerns or thoughts?

(( Yeah, those reactionaries are crazy. I had played a game or two to the ten year mark when working on the conversion, and it was always jacobins. Once millions of them. I don't know what's made the reactionaries so angry this time around. ))
 
((I'm sorry. My lack of experience with V2 is really showing right now.))

88. 1843-1846 - The session closes
Very well, Senators. We thank you for your time.

(( Time to play! ))
 
(( Dangit! I never know how much time to give! ))

((You could always suggest an official time that the Empress will be in attendance as you would do for a vote in other AARs. Then everyone would know how long they'd have to provide feedback.))

{{These other fat, corrupt senators can't even get to the senate on time for votes. Soon I will be the sole voice guiding the Empress, she will name me Supreme Chancellor of the Empire and then my plan will be unveiled and umlimited power will be mine.}}

(( Thanks for the suggestions, all! It's hard to have a fixed schedule at this point, but what I can do is prepare updates as I have time, and when an update is ready, give notice about it and a deadline for responses. What kind of time period do you think would be good for such a deadline? Two days? Three days? ))

((I don't know, but I must say that this was my fault, because I read update when I was in hurry and forgot to answer to it later. Personally, I think that 3 days would be good deadline))

All hail the Empire and the Empress who have brought us such glory against the Russian barbarians! The Imperial Army has more than proven its worth. I am also glad to see Ukraine on the Imperial map once more, and this time we will ensure they stay there.

All hail the Empire and you, our glorious Empress ! Your name shall be remembered by the Ukrainian people for the centuries to come ! We must always reenforce the border with our armies for I fear the bear will come back after licking his wounds and who knows what his fury could do ?
I expect that your husband surely rejoiced at the outcome of the war !

Empress, the map reveals us something : everywhere in the world, there is a center of Roman civilization spreading our way of life and ensuring bases for potential campaigns. Everywhere except one area that appears to be weak and ripe to take : East Asia. I think it is in the interest of the Empire to secure a port on China proper. The news of their weakness are public and I think we could take treaty ports where we could force them to trade on the terms we dictate ! However we have to refrain from taking too much land from them : the hordes of Asiatic will not be handled too easily.

Other than this case, I think the Empire is fine as it is and shall continue as such. Don't listen to the whispers of sedition : the only way to act with these so-called "liberals" is to force them to bow before you !

I congradulate you to the greatest extent on the recent war with Russia. We have finally put those damned *Ró̱soi back in their place. I hope this also sends a message to the world. Rome will not be tame for much longer. Now we must strike North and defeat the last vestiges to Pax Europa, the Germanoí**.

((Is the game still looking for new players?))

(( Absolutely! Note that you don't really have any power over the game. The senate merely serves as advisers for Empress Veronica. More details are in the second post. ))
 
I must say that those are great news for our Empire, the balance of power and peace have been again restored, however I have to say that agressive expansion of Russia was very dangerous for not only their weaker neighbors but also our Great Empire. We must make sure that our response time in future will be faster to prevent such dangers. With this in mind, I strongly support proposition made by Basileios Rellis.
