Ideas and Goals
The Optimates believe in a balanced society with a few more rights to the aristocracy, freemen with none serving another, a good defensive stance with a navy to help it, with isolation to help rebuild. They also believe that the state needs to be more centralized and to focus more on quality. They also believe that the state should not impose religion while people must still be respectful; they also believe the current stances on how trade and thought should be are acceptable.
The goals of the Optimates are to massively build up the navy while encourage trade with friendly neighbors. They also believe that a large army should be made to defend the realm and wipe out its enemies. The main aim of course is stability and progress.
