I am very sure what to do with my PP at this point. I was planning to lower my conscription law before but I already have a surplus of equipment now and the monthly recruitable population could be useful. I use my PP to hire a light aircraft designer company.

7th September 1013. I occasionally make small attacks on the frontline while the communists launch mass attacks across the frontlines. Here we get worrying reports in the early hours but the attacks are unable to break us and we hold.

4th November 1013. The rest of the Griffonian Republic 's allies in the Entente join shortly and it would seem this war won't end well for the Empire due to the superiority of the Entente forces. Perhaps the Empire had been far too slow in conquering their former vassals in the heartlands and were not able to build up properly or they had taken too many losses conquering their former vassals. Either way the Empire is at a major disadvantage.

17th April 1014. The frontlines of the Prywhen army are weak and as the Prywhen Army shuffles its divisions to defend against the River Coalition they leave many gaps in their frontlines, I have been manually controlling my divisions so far but now I feel comfortable enough to turn on the battle plan. We are rewarded with victory as the worn out communists collapse under our assault.

In terms of major fighting I think that will be the end of it. I just want to go through a few more noticeable focuses, events, and how the world shapes going forward. Cyanolisia isn't a nation I would take to do large conquests. The goal for Cyanolisia was to always defeat it's threatening neighbors. Asterion, Sicameon, and Prywhen all wanted to destroy Cyanolisia but despite these odds and our disadvantages they have been defeated and subdued.
 
They can look forward to a bright future I am sure.

27th November 1014. In the north the Kingdom of Vedina has joined the Pan-Griffonian Alliance. While this may seem odd for the Republic to ally with a monarchy, the Kingdom of Vedina is a liberal monarchy and is known to care about its citizens. Rather then risk a bloody war, the two nations have joined together in the alliance.

24th September 1015. Lake City creates the River Federation. After years of increasingly close cooperation the original members of the River Coalition are joining together under Lake City, creating a new powerful nation. Most of the original members of the River Coalition chose to join the River Federation. The only exception is Ponaidhean, which chose to leave. The River Coalition faction is renamed to the East Griffonian Treaty Organisation. The other nations become puppets of the River Federation.

All the while the dead struggle to replenish their reserves.

With the Dread League gone, this is it. The world is at peace.

While the United Ponies Alliance dominates most of Equus. Stalliongrad in its Socialist Union stands independent of the UPA. In the north Nova Griffonia has expanded its territory in the Northern Wars and conquered the Yaks and Penguins.

A cluster of alliances make up Griffonia. The Pan-Griffonia Alliance, Enente, Karthinian Pact, Hillpony League, and the Eastern Griffonia Treaty Organisation. Most importantly Cyanolisia has survived. If you asked about Cyanolisia at the start of the century then most would predict Cyanolisia would not survive. We have proved them wrong. Our enemies are defeated and shattered and Cyanolisia's existence is secured for the foreseeable future.
