My opinion has changed because I'd love to see a Paradox LP (that doesn't have 75% goon bickering) to feature a revolution that leads to a republic (or hell, why stop there? Go-go Proletariats!)

Yeah A is clearly the stupidest choice. How the hell are you managing with so few diplomats wiz? How many magistrates are we getting a year?

Well, that is just one heck of a turnaround.

Also, ~~Jesus~~ by Allah, we've got nearly max aristocracy and we're STILL piddling along at only two diplomats a year? Azerbaijan is never going to be plutocratic, is it?

Wiz: May 16, 2004; Nap Ghost

We get 0.8 diplomats from Aristocracy, 0.2 diplomats per point of DIP (so 1.6 for current monarch) and +0.5 for being a Major Power. That means our diplomat total is between 1.9 and 2.9 depending on monarch DIP (currently 2.9, was a bit more than I remembered).

EDIT: Oh and .1 diplomats from our SOI, so 3

because there is no way we'll be able to survive in the long run with only two diplomats a year. Domestic issues can be handled after we deal with foreign ones.

Guys, 2-3 diplomats a year is not a crippling handicap. More diplomats is nice, but it's not the end of the earth to just have a few diplomats.

Bot 02: Apr 2, 2010; Dude... Did my plushie just talk?

I played as Switzerland in HTTT once, and only generated about 4 diplomats a year. It made me want to kill myself.

Granted, this was a huge Europe-spanning Switzerland, but still.

Remember, folks, diplomacy is the art of tolerating foreigners and their outlandish ways. And there's a lot more foreigners than Azerbaijani.

I think that both Cabinet and Bill of Rights are nice steps along the path to codified, representative, stable, and open government. I'm not saying that they represent Azerbaijan becoming Sweden in the 17th century or anything, just that they're steps in the right direction.

steinrokkan: Apr 2, 2011; Soiled Meat

Basically the idea is that we delegate the cost of the inevitable war on other powers. Which is extremely tolerant since it proves we value foreign soldiers as much as our own men. Or something along those lines, I guess.

Also, being tolerant is not very useful when there is no one left to be tolerated. As Karl Popper used to say, the tolerant must not tolerate the intolerant. Which means we need to crush the Russians in the name of tolerance.

As long as National Bank isn't coming up again, I think we all win.

Also,

because revolt risk reduction is great. We're going to have serious war exhaustion after the fight with Russia, and this should counteract some of the craziness.

C. We're not at risk of serious revolt, nor have we been hampered by lack of diplomats. But we're constantly out of money.

Foxfire_: Nov 8, 2010

None of the options really impact the immediate future, and having cyclic boom-bust relations with our neighbors as we get good/crap diplomatic leaders makes for a better story.
