Populist Traditional

I believe more power should be centralized into the capital, the threats and challenges we face in this age cannot be met by individual grafts but by a strong central body able to impose uniform standards across all of Russia.
My only regret is that our beloved Monarch cannot take all responsibilities on herself, thus some delegation is required and a new parliamentary body can fulfill that role.

Long Live The Tsarina! Long Live Russia!!
 
Republican Secularist. The free specialist from Representation can go to merchants increasing our economy while going Secularist means we won't need to pump so much into research.
