John VII, the last Emperor of the Wars Dynasty, had died without a son or daughter. In his last will, however, he had already appointed someone to be his successor: Thomas Jagiello, of the Jagiello Dynasty from Lublin. This was the end of an era and the beginning of a new one for the Polish Imperium. He was crowned in front of the Warsaw Grand Palace - the palace of the imperial family of Poland. The Jagiello family was only the second imperial family to occupy the Grand Palace. Lord Thomas of Lublin was now Emperor Thomas I of the Polish Imperium.
This new emperor was quite militaristic and he trained in the Wars Imperial Military Academy in Warsaw. His family was very close to the Wars dynasty, and his uncle was a military advisor to Emperor John VII. This automatically gained him the approval of the nobility. Some attempted to use the new Emperor as a means of getting some personal pwoer and privileges. However, Thomas did not bend to the aristocratic will - in fact, he had himself lopped off the head of the Grand Duke of Moscow because he got reports that the Grand Duke was plotting an aristocratic uprising against the Emperor to gain power. This convinced many other aristocrats to avoid seeking personal powers and personal privileges.
Emperor Thomas I came to power at not a very good time. A famine had broken out in the southern states, and something had to be done. The breadbasket of the Polish Imperium was not only Ukraine, but also the vast plains of central Poland, and the areas and lakes all over Mazury and Mazowsze. There were abundances of food over there and some people even complained that their surplus of food was going to waste!
Food convoys would be sent immediately to the ravaged areas. Their loads would include: live chickens so that 1)they could gobble up the locusts and get fat and 2) once the locusts are all dead, then the farmers and people eat the chickens; vegetables, meats so that people and farmers could automatically eat them; fresh water from the vast lakes so that people could drink and wouldn't be parched and dry-mouthed, dry-throated no more. Send a lot of these food convoys to the southern areas that are suffering.
Emperor Thomas had also created a new "army" of special elite forces - the Jagiellonian Guards.
New UU for Poland: Jagiellonian Guards.
The Jagiellonian Guards are the defenders and protectors of not only the Imperial Dynasty, but also of the Polish Imperium borders and the people that live within the Imperium. They are not good at offensive wars AT ALL, but they can defend like crazy. The Guards use their defensive and protective skill to prevent any and all foreign invasions and to stop robbers and bandits from attacking the citizens.

From Emperor Thomas I of the Polish Imperium
To Norway, Finland, and Yalta:
Let us form an MPP/full alliance with each other - the Grand Eastern European Alliance to better defend our interests against others.
To France:
If you agree to a DPP with us, then we will definitely impose this new religion of Christianity upon the entire Imperium. Already part of the aristocracy and the imperial family are converted or considering it, but it is not definite. If you sign the DPP with us, then we will get the entire Imperium to become Christian.
Orders have been altered and PM-ed. Why? Because I feel that I made a couple of mistakes and I don't trust people to NOT read my secret-tagged orders.
