    Part two is out: th-cam.com/video/b3U2c4wXaDo/w-d-xo.html
    Check out Victoria 3 at this link! Paradox was cool enough to sponsor this video on my channel. If you click it, they will raise the GDP of Surrealville. Much like I do to Greece's in this game.
    play.victoria3game.com/SurrealBeliefs
    I've spent over fifty hours learning Victoria 3 before any guides can show us the enlightened path to optimization. I've enjoyed this so very much and I hope you will too. For our narrative approach, pretend for a moment you're someone living in this reality. If you have an observation or response to an event, write up to a paragraph at most. If it's interesting and compelling, it may be featured in the next introduction! You can even preface it with a quote too.
    I quoted Theodoros Kolokotronis in this video, “Greeks, God has signed our Liberty and will not go back on his promise.”.
    Oh and the narrator is voiced by twitter.com/XantheVyce -- he's incredibly talented. If you need voice work or know someone who does. He's the guy.

      People of Greece, today I Alexander Zimanovsky stand before you to declare that once stagnating state of Greece is once again on RISE !! We have reconquered states of Thesally , Macedonia and Thrace from the Ottoman usurper and Island of Crete and city of Alexandria from Egypt. But we will not end here. Istanbul , the great city know as Constatinopol is at arm length. We shall obtain it by All MEANS !! BUT that is only a beggining. We shall not stop until we restore glory of Greece and Byzantine Empire. Anatolia, Balkans, Syria, Egypt will be once again Greek, once again we shall become the ONLY TRUE HEIRS OF ROME !! GLORY TO GREECE ! GLORY TO BYZANTIUM !!!

    Noble people of Greece! Once these sun-backed bricks housed and held the brightest minds the world could ever hope to know! Our legacy is one of wisdom, knowledge, and pushing further the bounds of human understanding. As we begin anew upon the stage of empires let us not forget these roots and water the burgeoning minds and invest into our universities so all peoples can read the great classical works and write new plays and prose!

      @@outrageddeer2101 Could work if it's incorporated with a good background story to why, the major thing is the route all LP:s are taking atm(from what I can see) with going for abolishing monarchy and weakening the church does not fit with wanting to restore Byzantium from an RP point.
      So laws etc. should be set to make pops want to convert to Orthodoxy(will also create unity) and the same thing with culture, all pops should strive to become "Byzantine" aka a culture with Greek heritage(from what I understand that would be the cultural segregation law)
      However it's already clear in part 2 that he wont go down this path, so I'll guess I have to wait a bit more for someone to actually do this kind of LP.

    Γειά σας, κύριες, κύριοι
    I do think as a hard-working economist that we primarily need to reunite with us the rest of European Greece (all of Epirus and the City) and Smyrna on the war side.
    Then I'd say we should make remember a large part of the Anatolian population who are now lost that they once we're Christian and are still Greek -> we are one (the King might want to use decrees for it). I want to add that a basileus who make use of a great council or even a reasonable parliament should be paying off and be carefully done for the good of our society on the long run!
    If the one God allows us to win further wars, we may not need to take Serbian land and just liberate them as we might support full independence as well for our Armenian brothers who deserve all of our respect despite our religious differences.
    I hope we'll follow a great path as historians are discussing the progress of the μεγάλη ιδέα.
    However this is my contribution.

    There are many things that I found weird... like, sure lets say the _government_ has a multicultural aproach, but that doesn't meant that X or Y culture will just be like yupiii I'm happy now, this is the era of nationalism, some turks might be like yeah whatever, but most would keep being angry just because they would not be in their contry, this is diferent from imigrants as they went there by choice and therefore a contry that has many imigrants would benefit having a multicultural aproach, even if the more natinalists of it's own culture would oppose.
    Not only that, it was very common for socials groups support a monarchy in this age, be it intelectuals, industrialists, or the "conservatives", that only deppended on how well the contry was doing, as an exemple in Brazil there were poppular revolts to put a child on the trone ending in Pedro II being crowned at 14, in russia there were conter protests in support of the monarchy resulting in that bloodbath, in the UK do I even need to say it? it still stands for a reason, Finland was planned to be a monarchy but no one wanted it, and this no one I mean no noble wished to go to finland, but the people and political elite did, Iran became a teocracy because they were mad with the western aproach of the monarchy; so on and so on, so I don't get it why some political group are like just agains it or supportive as it's base opinion.

    Cyprus, western Anatolia and Constantinople should be annexed to unite all greek people. Antioch lost in 1085 (i think) should be reincorporated into the greek state as perhaps a tradeport. An important city both culturally, historically and for the eastern orthodox church. With this goal, you accomplish what the greeks have been dreaming for, for over centuries. And recolonise ancient greek lands!

    It's kind of disappointing that that huge encirclement didn't affect their army size, to be honest.

    I totally support the Byzantium goal, but I hope you go deep on the infrastructure and quality of life. Is it really Byzantium if it doesn't shine? It would have been fun to keep the monarchy, but oh well. On the other hand, a Byzantium with a GERMAN monarch? No. Maybe if there was a way for them to pull a Windsor and change their names to local customs. I would love to see zeppelins decorated with the royal purple, but I don't know if that's possible.

    I as a native Macedonian, residing in Xanthi consider Constantinople to be the most important upcoming conquest, holding the strait can only benefit our nation, also if possible consider taking back Adrianople and engage in population exchanges if possible

    okay I haven’t seen anyone mention it yet, but we need to ensure urbanization and development reaches are new northern territories. We can not allow our Greek industry to be resign to only those who began the conquest under a German king!
