The Senate votes in 57.14% favor of granting the Zhospirans citizenship. Our nation has developed a more secular outlook on religion. Although the Zhospirans are granted freedom of worship that does not mean they are truly free. Prejudice and segregation will likely takes years to subside. This reform however was less then desirable by the Crusaders, who have united under a common monarch to subdue our growing power.
Lose 85% unrest Lose 65% relation with Eycist community

The Evangelize perk has expired. Our empire adopted Eycism, becoming the state religion. Even after the fall of the empire the Republic continued to practice Eycism. The religion forbids the use of narcotics, leading to more stability and productivity, but also prohibits medicines such as vaccines. These harsh restrictions on vaccines lead to a Red Death outbreak shortly afterwards, continuing to this day. The religion also demands all families to enroll their firstborn sons into an rigorous military and education program. The aim of this system was to produce physically and morally strong males to serve the Crusader armies. After years of service a crusader returns home to become a Cleric, a local spiritual leader. A select few clerics are elected to become Cardinals who elect the next Capriarch, the leader of the religion. Gain +25% productivity Lose -5% manpower every year Eycist Creation Myth:The Eycists believe long ago the almighty God created the first goat, a creature made in his image. The Goats were hungry so God created grass fir them to graze. At first it was too cold for the grass to grow, so God appointed Sinclair, the first goat, to the Ride the Chariot of the Sun across the sky. Then God's mighty nipples began lactating, the first rainfall, to replenish the grass and goats. Finally God created us, not in his image but his intellect, to shepard and tend for the goats while he lay dormant. The first prophet Eycus and his successors became known as the Capriarchs, the leaders of the religion. The Capriarchs adorn a four-horned crown to symbolize their power. Sinclair, the first goat, also had four horns. A more simplified illustration of Sinclair and the Capriarchy is the four-tongued fork, representing the four horns.

So if forks are a religious symbol, eating is a form of praying? I like this religion!

The Senate votes 85.71% in favor of recognizing Arbakus' claims to the Capriarchy. The traditional residency of the Capriarch, the Temple of Eycus, is occupied by Hartago supporters, and so Arbakus has settled in our nation to pursue his holy duties. Because the Capriarch resides in our borders, a new flag has been adopted representing our religious values. The two-horned goat has been replaced with the the Four-horned goat, the symbol of the Capriarch. The four tails on the end of the flag represent the four horns.

Flag proposal perk has expired. The Sacred Goat attracted thousands of devout Eycists into our territory, increasing our devotion. Arbakus, future Capriarch, was related to one of these immigrant families. Without our flag we may have never gotten to where we are today.
Gain +25% devotion Gain +10% immigration

I think it's best to re-annex Suwon, the only reason i can think of to keept them is, using it as a 'buffer' between us and any countries in that direction. But apart from that, i really can't find another reason.

I'd like to expand our territory, and convert the Suwonians to the ways of the goat. We might find a useful resource we didn't have before.

Have I missed something? I thought we occupied Suwon? Or are they our Vassals? So If they are our Vassals I say we purchase the collonies for ourselves so we may have the extra income and Suwon stays dependant on us. We already hold sway in their land anyways, so occupying their territoory would not give us such a "return on investment" as simply aquiring their collonies would.
Also if we control the collonies the Suwonese people are emigrating to, the Brain-Drain from Suwon will weaken them making Mainland Suwon ever more depndent on us while the Collonies that belong to us profit from the Influx of the Suwon people.
Furthermore I propose this: If we buy the Collonies we integrate them into our Republic as another "state" or "departement" wich just happens to be overseas and not treat them as a collony. And maybe lessen the tarrifs and punishments for Suwon culture in our country BUT NOT IN SUWON ITSELF

The Senate votes 71.43% in favor of purchasing the overseas colony from Suwon. The colony was the powerhouse of the Suwonese economy, and without it the Vassal will become more and more dependent on our Republic's foreign aid. Yellow: Our territory Pink: Suwon territory Grey: UnexploredSpend $35,000 Gain +10 relation with Suwon Gain +5% devotion every year

The Senate was indecisive on the name of the colony. In a coin toss Arbakus was chosen. The Colony of Arbakus draws religious zealots far and wide, spreading the faith of Eycus across the ocean.

The Deal or No Deal Perk has expired. The gold our country had amassed was sculpted into a magnificent state of the old emperor. Although the empire has has long since fallen, the statue has survived the testaments of time, and has become a icon for a glorious Republic.
Gain +55% Nationalism Gain +5 coin every year
The Red Death Perk had expired. After 100 years our doctors have discovered the Red Death is transmitted from...GOATS! The Eycist community is most unpleased, because the Domestic House Goat, a member of the religious nuclear family, is a nest for deadly pathogens. Has god forsaken us?
Gain +2% medical research every month Lose -25% immigration 50% chance of infection
