October 1460
Welcome to the current Post War Dream. We begin by repaying three of our many outstanding loans, this results in an extra .11 ducats per month. We'll take it. We've got around 20 left to pay back. Not a huge deal. Most are around 12.XX ducats each.

Current Mission: Our Manpower Reserves Need to Recover

This time we won't be canceling out of this. Our manpower sits at 145 out of 17,580. Our resources are completely drained. We also need another 2,800 troops to fill out our army.

Influence Ideas Advance: Claim Fabrication
Claiming something as yours is easy, persuading everyone else that you have a valid claim is much harder. By spreading our diplomatic net wide we can ensure that the people who matter know that this claim is ours.

Bonus Effect: Claims are fabricated 33% quicker.

We have entered a royal marriage with Theodoro.

We have spent 228 administrative power to remove our negative stability, we are back on even keel there.

December 1460
We have entered a military alliance with Theodoro.

January 1461
We have begun to fabricate a claim on the Crimean province of Azaraba. With ten years before another war, we might as well get a claim on everything we can of theirs.

A diplomat is now working to improve relations with Theodoro. They are willing to accept becoming our vassal, we just need to get there first.

June 1461
Another loan paid down.

December 1461
And another.

Event: Arrogant Administrators
The offices that deal with our subject nations have become so isolated from those that they govern and have become arrogant – convinced that there is no point in listening to anyone not in the capital. The anger in the vassals has boiled over.

A diplomat has been sent to Gazikumukh to improve relations to the point where we can begin integration.

March 1462
9,000 Armenian Nationals have risen up in revolt in Samtskhe!

May 1462
The revolt has been put down with minimal troops casualties.

July 1462
Our stability has been boosted to +1 by using administrative power.

Event: Foreign Drill Instructor Available
Maurice of Orange pioneered new drills for firearms that made the new weapons much more effective. This drill technique was not a secret and numerous military entrepreneurs learned the drill and placed their service at the disposal of the crowned heads of Europe.

King Vakhtang IV declines the offer. -10 Prestige (48)

The country cannot afford the costs with so many loans still due.

Another loan down, 16 to go.

Another loan paid, 15 to go.

April 1464
Moving right along, 14 loans to go.

Event: Quality Wool
Recent shipments of wool have been of unsurpassed quality, earning our nation extra money. We gain 6.24 ducats.

13 loans to go.

January 1465
12 loans left to repay.

July 1465

June 1466
We're working to improve relations with our ally, Poland.

July 1466
Event: Plague!
Epidemics in the early-modern era were far deadlier than wars or even famine. Diseases that with modern medicine are relatively harmless, like smallpox or flu, took a heavy toll whenever they struck, especially among infants.

King Vakhtang IV decides something has to be done. -6.24 ducats.

August 1466
We now have 8 loans left to pay from the Crimean war.

Influence Ideas Advance: Integrated Elites
By bringing the ruling elite of our subject nations into our government we can smooth out the process of integrating their territories significantly.

Bonus Effect: Diplomatic Annexation Cost -25%

Georgian Ideas Advance: Bagrationi Dynasty
A dynasty so old its origins are shrouded in mystery, kings and queens of the Bagrationi house have ruled Georgia ever since the 9th century, first as its princes and then as monarchs.

Bonus Effect: Increased Chance of a new Heir +25%

September 1466
Event: Integrating Gazikumukh
When a smaller country gives up its independence to join a greater realm, there is a lot of adapting, and while some parts are easy, the administration of the realm will still need to expand to accommodate all possibilities. +5 prestige (44)
