I just took a look at world map, and oh wow, the New World is developing nicely.

Oh, and on a side note, we should try to expand first down to reunite the Arabian Peninsula and then westward to consume Turkey and play a more crucial role in major wars and all that. The fascination with Pretty Borders have taken me as well.

Administrative Kingdom - No brainer.

Engineer Corps - We'll need to negate the Offensive penalty sooner or later, three powerful states nearby that will eventually want a piece of us. It also helps represents that most quintessential quality of the Azeri people, if you can build impressive monuments and palaces in Tabriz you certainly know how to take it apart just as efficiently.

No, we won't, because we'll hamstring ourselves trying to get there way too early and we'll get our poo poo kicked in by our neighbors and the reactionaries.

Remember that the Reichstag voted extremely liberal for most of it's history, leading to horrors such as the Modernizer era and ultimately the reactionary coup.

Imperialism is a foreign policy, not a domestic policy. It's perfectly realistic for a constitutional monarchy to be an empire.

Let's not oversimplify here. There was the matter of voting for a ton of liberal reforms, then voting no to a constitution.

That was because the constitution took away the rights of the reichstag to appoint the ruling party, and why would we vote to take away the little bit of interactivity the LP had?

So you tried to get all the benefits of liberal reforms but without giving up any executive power.

Nope, I don't see how that could possibly go badly.

If you didn't want the people making the choices, maybe you shouldn't have promoted every possible option that increased plurality, given that plurality is a measure of how much of the population wants a say in government. :v:

Hohenzollern could have gone Bismarckian and stayed aristocratic and conservative while placating the people with social reforms, but you can't enact political reforms that aim at raising plurality and then expect people to be a-OK with absolutism.
