EIC: The Starting Situation
Given that my previous save was corrupted, perhaps only now we shall be able to reform the Company Rule into Institution able to provide proper Profits for Shareholders!
Our opening moves are pretty radical. Rights of Indian peasants shall be greatly expanded, allowing them to enter the marketplace and weakening reactionary elements in our administration.
Landowners, if only you could see the future, then even you would understand why this is important for interests of the British Capitalism.
All Authority shall go into strengthening these forces able to understand what is truly needed for Expansion of the British Colonialism (Armed Forces), Civilizing Savages (Intellectuals) and Providing Profits (Industrialists). Landowners, you may still own the main places in the Board, but powerful conspiracies among minority Shareholders work against you.
We heard about these experimental steam-things on rail, tested in Britain. We want these even in India.
Reform of feudal administration will be an extremely daunting task. But we finally understood that the best rule imaginable for our purses: the Company Rule - cannot survive under influence of our dominant Landowners roleplaying feudalism. We are THE CORPORATION and we shall prevail!
We shall Reform the Indies and become Shining Beacon of the British Colonialism and Capitalism.
Under the Doctrine of Lapse our Honorable Company can, and in fact SHOULD, take under direct administration lands that can be the most exploited by us...
I mean, lands oppressed by especially Savage native rulers!
The Goal of wisest among our Honorable Shareholders. For we had seen in our nightmares possible future- the Mutiny and nationalization by the British Crown.
We must avoid such a fate. We shall oppress the Indies forever.
