>"It's quite alright dear, you've always been such a good worker. Always loyal, always working so hard, that it's as if you aren't there at all! That's the mark of an excellent servant you know, that they can do their work and it's as if they aren't there at all, things just seem to be tidied up and put away, as if by magic! I just...I just feel that, since I lost my ability to take a human form, that I've...lost some of my connection to who I was, and to whom I rule. I...I don't want to become a despot. I want my country and my people to be strong, and worthy of being part of the British Empire. And to do that, they need a strong leader to show them the way. But they need to pay attention, to see what they can grow to be, and I feel that I've lost that glow I used to have. I'd like your opinion, on what I can do to get it back."
>"Oh, and don't mind the teeth, I always make sure that your hand is quite in the clear before I start chewing. It's only polite, you know. By the by, we're going to need more doughnuts soon. Very soon."
>"So what do you think of the way we rule so far? Go on, be honest, I'll know if you're not. To be honest, I've been thinking about some reforms to the slave castes, I like Ren's idea of allowing the children to either go their own ways upon turning twenty-one or choosing to stay and be elevated to the role of servant. A couple loyal servant family bloodlines would certainly make your job easier, would it not? What do you think about it? And what would you think would be a good way to attract them to stay?"
>"Oh when I get home, I'm going to take a nice money bath. Ren was quite right about those, so wonderful to just lay in your wealth. Maybe I'll go pay Parliament another visit, see about getting some more politicians to see things my way. Maybe convince Ren to let me set up some of his factories and such in England, the way he's been doing things has been treating my countrymen poorly, and I think he's forgotten that I am as much monarch of Sweden as a I am of Great Britain. Hmpf. I won't take no for an answer, either!"

If you want to know more and increase your PR to the servants a bit more, just think/talk more about comfy thoughts... And also, encourage your servant for moar donuts soon, and also maybe venting a bit on how your trying to be a good... Dragon... Human, person. Yeah.

I just want the best for everyone, and sometimes what's best for them hurts them a little, but they can't see the long term benefit, and they just rage and rail and say the most hurtful things, and if I respond back in kind, then I'm automatically the bad guy, because I'm punching down, and if I take the time to explain the plan in detail, no one pays attention because it is long and boring, and I just wish that they would trust me, that their children will receive the fruits of their discomfort, and that I do everything I can to try to reduce their discomfort as much as possible! It's just so hard sometimes, to keep everything under control, but if I let my more draconic side come out to be stronger, then I end up doing awful, horrible things, like eating people. I still feel awful and regret those actions to this day. Except for those nobles. Those assholes deserved it. But the slaves...the slaves did not. It's hard to balance the human I used to be, and what she valued, with the dragon I am today, and what the dragon side values. I want to be better, for my family, for God and for country.

13+15=28

You of course, find the best ways to reassure your servant and get more comfortable while doing so, you even vent a bit about how hard it is to be a dragon... Human, thing...

You learn that your servants are mostly terrified of your family since they're usually easily angered, ultra-powerful beings who crush human life without a second thought... Or at least that's what this servant believes. Oh, and also he finds the extremely huge egos of you and Renexizious annoying, or hard to deal with

...You don't have a huge ego, do you?

...Nah.

You chew idly on a donut, when you hear the car turn onto a bumpy dirt path, going down towards a cabin on the ocean... It seems to be almost night time...

The demon itself seems to have noticed your tiredness, judging from his thoughts, and apparently is worried about being caught out in the dark...

Your servant however, realizes that it's up to him to get the building in working condition, and judging from a hole in the roof, it'll also have to be dealing with that... He even sighs a bit...

You know, why don't we do it for him? Oh, it'd be so wonderful! This dreary cabin could use a woman's touch.

...What exactly are you purposing? Estellise says.

Well, I mean, look at how old and uncomfortable it is... I think we'd be great home decorators with our psychic powers!

...Well...

...Well, I mean, it's an idea... The servant has been quite tolerant of our diet...

...Of donuts.

...I hate to admit they're delicious, but maybe we should pull back on them...

You of course, completely ignore Gwynevere.

Hm...

What do?

>...Surprise the servant by telling him you'll do his job of getting the cabin in ready condition.

+2 for thinking of delicious, delicious donuts, and be a bit pissed Gwynevere thinks they could actually add weight or something... Your a dragon! What, are a few hundred donuts going to add weight to a one-hundred-story dragon?
+2 for thinking what you can do to repair the roof.
+1 for rewarding your servant's diligence so far, and putting up with your sugary shenanigans?

If everything's done, you will have SUCCESSFULLY FASHIONIZED the cabin.

>"Gwynevere, doughnuts are wonderful and delicious and covered in glazed sugar, they are scrumptious morsels and I could eat my own weight in them and not gain an ounce! I'm active, I work hard, and I need my high-calorie brainfood to keep things under control! They're not going to make me fat, the damn boobs and ass you loved so dearly made me look fat!"
>Look for a large, flat rock like shale or slate, and put it over the hole in the roof. Alternatively, grab a car door off an abandoned car and lay that over the hole instead. It doesn't need to be a perfect fix, just good enough for tonight.
>Give him headpats, and give him a reward worthy of royalty: the last doughnut!

You of course, can't help but enjoy all this working out and actually being able to do things, beyond being slowly walking thanks to the enormous weight that was once put on you... In all honesty, you feel like jogging, so you do that!

And of course, you have a rather easy time putting a car door on the roof... But of course, out of a sense of fashion, you can't help but enjoy this time to yourself...

You eventually wrap it up, and still feel good about working out so hard, and go into the cabin to go to sleep...

...The next day eventually rolls around, and you get into a more... Casual dress... By that, you get into a pair of jeans and a nice comfortable shirt and jacket you found in the bedroom which you decided to liberate... Comfy! And warm!

You can't help but notice your dress is still a bit ill-fitting to your current size, and you suppose that you'll have to live without it for a while... And take to wearing a commoner's clothes...

...Which in all honesty, aren't that bad.

You go to get some breakfast, and you notice the demon itself minding it's own business, drinking...

It's thought process seems to shift to you when you come out, apparently somewhat surprised by your outfit choice...

Apparently he thinks your some noble who would never even dare to wear a peasant's shirt, let alone such a thing known as jeans...

...You decide to let it pass, you after all, clearly don't have an ego, and you shouldn't let it show...

That's the polite way, right?

You of course, notice the servant slept on the couch, while the demon seemed to have just kept watch. How wonderful subjects they are...

Oh, and the servant is dreaming about his timeshares! Right, servants have those, you forgot so much...

...Oh, he even has timeshares to Spain! How interesting... You know, this mind reading thing is so useful...

You of course, make breakfast for you and the servant, which is simple enough...

After that, you get back on the road..

Eventually, you drive up to what seems to be a large.. Wall of ice. An absolutely huge one.

"...What are we supposed to do?"

"...Climb."

You begin the long, ardous task of flying up and down...

Meanwhile, as Renexizious...

You turn it off, but rather then get up, you just get some more sleep... Sleep in mortal beds is nice... Most people think dragons prefer sleeping in their gold, and while that's true... There's certainly little better then comfortable mattresses...

...Huh. Somehow, it seems like today is a bit different...

You answer the phone. It seems to be Goebbels, interestingly enough.

"...Goebbels? What is it? I'm trying to eat breakfast here."

"...I thought you might be interested in a bit of a ... Breaking development, in Russia."

"What is it?"

"Well, apparently among our focus groups, the Russians seem the most favorable towards strongman politics, which you certainly are fulfilling..."

"Your damn right I'm fulfilling that. Was it the mail I sent to the communist Cuban running for government there?"

"...Erh... The ones warning her about her imminent demise, promises of pain worse then death... Erm..."

"...Oh, don't forget the ones where I'd take a tank and crush her under it. Or deep-fry her in butter..."

"...How... How can you eve-"

"Don't worry about it. But nice to see all those threatening messages finally payed off for once."

"...I didn't exactly said the Russians like you. In fact, most of them hate you."

"Well, they're communists. Non-deep fried ones. That disappoints me greatly, but of course, NATO likes their communist friends..." You can't help but mutter...

"...Well, we could always not put it on the documents..."

"...Eeeeh... You know what, maybe in the future, but not right now. My wife's running and deep-frying Russian communists is a bad idea... Unless she's ok with it. You think she'd be ok with it?"

"...Erh..."

"Good point, we'd have to make it healthy... She's a stickler for that, not to mention her little thing about eating mortals... No offense."

"...None taken?"

"Good! I like a mortal who doesn't freak out at the fact that I'm not some super-wannabe hero or something you see in the comics. The kids love them for some reason... You know, Elslif once drew me as Superman, or something like that.. Anyways, enough about my family life and personal habits involving deepfrying communists... What about Russia?"

Nice work rambling.

...She's my daughter. Besides, when was the last time people actually liked us and thought we were good people? Who aren't our wives.

...Good point.

"Well... With your permission, we were considering painting you with some refined strongman propoganda techniques..."

"Such as?"

"Well... Let me explain..."

After a very long explanation from Goebbels, he basically narrows it down to three choices you can try to lean for regarding propaganda in Russia...

Continued.

Choose.

>Revisionism (Rewrite history to make the communists look evil, and Sweden look like heroes! Effective among the younger generation, but you'll need to deal with "commiepills" from the older generation.)
>Socialist Strongman (Try to paint yourself as a socialist strongman, to try and appeal to the average Russian. This will work more effectively the more "socialist" policies you implement, though be warned that right wing groups do not like socialism.
>Strongarm Totalitarian (...You know what? Why don't you just try to steal those Stalin propaganda things, painting him as a "loving father of the nation" and just put yourself there as the "savior of Russia" or something...

Meritocratic.

Here's the full list of generals. Normal Generals are ranked from 1 to 5 in skill, whereas Veterans can go to 1-10, with Elites being 5-15 in skill. Legendary Generals can hit 20, and all generals have a talent which makes them excel at a particular branch of warfare. Each ranking up from Normal to Veteran to Elite means one more specialization.

In order to upgrade to a veteran, a general must fight in two battles.
In order to upgrade from a veteran to an elite, he must fight and win ten battles. Each ranking up gets harder and harder regarding skill, which is basically a modifier for how effective a general is.

"Holy fuck, this is a long list..."

"...Yes, it is. The new officer corp of Sweden has three promising recruits, from across the Empire."

"...I have to deal with this?"

"...Simply choose which one of them you want to recruit. Or all three. The army needs better generals."

"Alright, fine. Send the documents to me..."

An hour later, a servant brings you the documents on the three aspiring cadets which can prove to be a boon to your general staff...

Here's your choices.

Who do you want to recruit to your general staff? Do note, they'll be low level.

>Kristoffer Artemovich, the son of a Russian White Army exile to Sweden. He's regarded to be an expert of armored warfare, particularly lightning warfare. He is also regarded to be deeply hateful of communism.
>Sir Felix Holger, a notable Swedish recruit with a penchant for commando style tactics, especially regarding paratroopers. He's a bit of a thrillseeker too, and his family are considered to be knights.
>Hjalmar Gottfrid, a Swede who's proved effective at communications and radios, and greatly experienced at logistics and coordination.
>None of these.
>...Look at the foreign officer corps. They might have a gem or two in their ranks. (Choose a country under your control.)
>...Have a look at the 'non-human" officer cadets.
>Look at the foreign students.
>Write-in

>>1782393
>...Have a look at the 'non-human" officer cadets.

Non humans.

Werewolves.
>Niklas Daucourt, a french lycanthrope who's inherited the disease, remarkable in the fact that he's still very human and can actually pass for it. A remarkable trend among the newer generation of lycanthropes, who look more human to apparently fit in with society, and is remarked to be apparently great with commando teams and sneak tactics. Is overwhelmingly loyal to you.
>(Starts off as Veteran!)Sebastián de la Cavallería, son of a Spanish officer who fought for Franco and was killed by the Republicans, who's been sent to Sweden due to his lycanthrope heritage. He's reputed to be a die-hard nationalist of Spain, along with a zealous catholic. He seems to lean towards a highly aggressive slant when it comes to warfare, and seems to be extremely effective at assaulting positions. He seems very loyal to Spain, but also loyal to you.

Elven

>Brislav Sniedze, a immigrant from Latvia and apparently a mage, which he uses to great effect on the battlefield. However, he is reported to dislike the regime.
>Finn Larsen, a Dane reported to be fairly good with discipline and is reputed to be effective in training soldiers to be their best. He's more loyal to Denmark then Sweden, however.

>Teodor Fridtjof, an Orc who was put into the cadet forces. He seems to be a large fan of artillery, and sudden aggressive pushes after artillery volleys, oftentimes with cavalry. He is devoutly loyal to you.

Minotaurs

>(Starts off as Veteran!) Alastair Drakos, a minotaur immigrant from Crete, who's a well-read scholar of tactics. He seems to be very experimental, and favors fast moving armored divisions, and sudden, overwhelming firepower.

What do you want to do?

>Look at the human foreign students.

Sir Felix Holger

>>1782393

>Sir Felix Holger, a notable Swedish recruit with a penchant for commando style tactics, especially regarding paratroopers. He's a bit of a thrillseeker too, and his family are considered to be knights.
>Hjalmar Gottfrid, a Swede who's proved effective at communications and radios, and greatly experienced at logistics and coordination.
Someone skilled at logistics and coordination will make organizing troops and supplies far easier. Wars are won on supply lines.

>Niklas Daucourt, a french lycanthrope who's inherited the disease, remarkable in the fact that he's still very human and can actually pass for it. A remarkable trend among the newer generation of lycanthropes, who look more human to apparently fit in with society, and is remarked to be apparently great with commando teams and sneak tactics. Is overwhelmingly loyal to you.
Better grab at least one sneaky sneaky guy.

Here's my vote for all the generals
>Sir Felix Holger, a notable Swedish recruit with a penchant for commando style tactics, especially regarding paratroopers. He's a bit of a thrillseeker too, and his family are considered to be knights.
>Hjalmar Gottfrid, a Swede who's proved effective at communications and radios, and greatly experienced at logistics and coordination.

>Brislav Sniedze, a immigrant from Latvia and apparently a mage, which he uses to great effect on the battlefield. However, he is reported to dislike the regime.

Having a mage in the army sounds fun. Also maybe boost PR with Elves

If no one else votes, I'll just say you take along Niklas and Brislav as well. Everyone alright with this?

>>1783583
This is fine

Sir Felix Holger.

...After a bit of reviewing his documents, you find the following...

3 Skill.

Special Forces Commander: This general gets a large bonus when using Special Forces to accomplish his tasks, and can manage more of them then the average general.

What division do you want to give him?

>Infantry. (Slow moving, but good at defense and offense.)
>Motorized (Fast moving, light amount of tank support, and great for attacking, poor at defense.)
>Mechanized (Moderate speed, medium amount of tank support, and amazing at attacking, decent at defense.)
>Armored. (Moderate speed, almost entirely tank support, with some mechanized infantry. Amazing at offense, but poor at defense, and costs quite a bit logistics wise.)
>Paratroopers (Can be deployed behind enemy lines, but has no armored support. Special Forces.)
>(Cultural Unique): Caroleans. (Function similar to infantry, but are more religious and suffer no moral loss regardless of losses.)
>Marines (Can be used in naval invasions, and are exceedingly good at it. Special Forces.)
>(Fascist Unique): Nationalist Shock Troops (Expert assault motorized infantry. Move decently, but have the best morale, and are extremely effective and loyal. Amazing at offense and defense. Counts as Special Forces.)
>(Fascist Unique) Nationalist Military Police. Good at defense, but poor at offense. Increases loyalty to the state via oppressiveness in whatever country they're in, and can also function like death squads.
>(Monarchist Unique) Lifeguard Infantry, dedicated defenders of the realm, and have extreme amounts of defenses at their call. They however, are poor at offense, but will hold the line at all costs.)
>Continue to auxillary troops. (They have lower loyalty, but each country typically has a unique troop.)
>Specialize these troops in a climate of warfare.
>Apply a special feature to the divison. (Special features are essentially mini-buffs to help specialize, and each regiment can take one.)
>Write-in

>>1783808
Additionally, because Felix is a Special Forces commander, regiments marked as Special Forces can be combined with uniques or other special forces, such as Nationalist Shock Troops and Caroleans. You can only combine two separate divisions together, meaning no third choice. UNLESS you can explain it to me.

>>1783808
>Paratroopers (Can be deployed behind enemy lines, but has no armored support. Special Forces.)

>>1783808
>Paratroopers

Felix Holger now is in command of paratroopers.

What race anons?

>Humans. (Average at everything.)
>Elves. (Bit better at stealth, and magic, but much less loyal. Cost a tiny bit more.)
>Werewolves. (The regiment will cost much more in upkeep, but the regiment will get a huge bonus to close combat and will be harder to kill, along with having better morale, at the cost of being poor shots.)
>Dwarves. (The regiment will cost a bit more in upkeep, but be better at defense at the cost of being slower... They'll also be more effective with explosives.)
>Minotaurs. (...Extreme bonuses to defense and offense, but move slower, and cost much, much more.)
>Half-dragons. (Good bonuses to defense and offense, but also move slower, along with costing more. Are a tiny bit more loyal.)

Yuan-Ti cannot be used as paratroopers.

>>1784019
>Dragotaurs

>>1784019
Also, dragotaurs.

If you want.

Please no.

Dragotaur paratroopers it is.

...How highly trained should they be?

>Conscripted. (Large penalty to combat rolls, but instant recruitment.)
>Fresh. (Penalty to combat rolls, but fast to recruit. They'll take about three months.)
>Trained. (No penalty. Takes about 8 months to recruit.)
>Veterans. (Bonus to combat stats. Takes about 14 months to recruit.
>Elites. (Large bonus to combat stats. Takes about 18 months to recruit.)

Also, do anons want to combine the special forces with anything else, such as nationalist shock paratroopers, or just continue?

>>1784104
>Elites. (Large bonus to combat stats. Takes about 18 months to recruit.)

Can we make them shock paratroopers?

>>1784126
Shock Nationalist Paratroopers, yeah. It'll extend their recruitment time by 4 months.

>>1784140
Sounds good

>>1784104
>Elites. (Large bonus to combat stats. Takes about 18 months to recruit.)
Shock Nationalist Paratroopers

Alright...

Two more things

What gender do you want to recruit from?

>Male. (6,000 Manpower.)
>Females. (4,000 Manpower.)

And finally...

Choose two specialties of the regiment. (+1 from being elite) This is unique due to you actually training your guys now.

>Death Squad. (Reduce political opposition in territories they're stationed in, and become far more terrifying to opponents!)
>Political Officers (Increases loyalty of nearby divisions in the same territory, along with slowly converting nearby forces to follow your ideas more closely, and even effects the civilian population's loyalty a tiny bit with propaganda.)
>Combined Arms Initiative. (They'll get a bonus when working with armored, motorized, mechanized and infantry divisions.)
>Partisan Experts (They'll slowly sap enemies of strength in the same region their in, and can inspire partisans to take their side.)

>>1784168
>Male. (6,000 Manpower.)
>Death Squad. (Reduce political opposition in territories they're stationed in, and become far more terrifying to opponents!)
>Partisan Experts (They'll slowly sap enemies of strength in the same region their in, and can inspire partisans to take their side.)

>Death Squad. (Reduce political opposition in territories they're stationed in, and become far more terrifying to opponents!)
>Partisan Experts (They'll slowly sap enemies of strength in the same region their in, and can inspire partisans to take their side.)

Done.

Do anons want to give a name to these guys, or continue on?

>Come up with a name for your new death squad of doom and destruction.
>Continue on.

>>1784190

>Come up with a name for your new death squad of doom and destruction.

Beefstorm. Because the only thing that comes to mind for Dracotaur paratrooper death squads is 'It's raining beef!'

>>1784479

...How about Bullstorm?

>>1784482

That works too.

Bullstorm it is.

Now, for Hjalamar Gottfried.

You review his documents..

He has about 2 Skill

Logistic Coordinator: This general is great at logistics and coordination. He reduces the cost of upkeep for all armies in the same region, along with decreasing attrition, and granting a +2 to all other divison's rolls.

What division to give him, anons?

>Apply a special feature to the division.
>Write-in

>>1784507

Mechanized it is.

What race?


>Humans. (Average at everything.)
>Elves. (Bit better at stealth, and magic, but much less loyal. Cost a tiny bit more.)

>Minotaurs. (...Extreme bonuses to defense and offense, but move slower, and cost much, much more.)
>Half-dragons. (Good bonuses to defense and offense, but also move slower, along with costing more. Are a tiny bit more loyal.)

Also, yeah, anons can vote to revoke the last option, just going forward because I'm fucking tired.

>>1784516


>Humans. (Average at everything.)

Hey, is it possible to have mixed ranks? Like humans and werewolves in the same unit? If so, then I want that one.

>>1784524
Mixed ranks tend to be disorganized and upkeep skyrockets.

>>1784516
>Humans. (Average at everything.)
Humans only

Humans it is.

How highly trained?

>>1784649

>Males or Females?

Whichever gets us better merit-based results.

>Combined Arms Initiative. (They'll get a bonus when working with armored, motorized, mechanized and infantry divisions.)

I want our logistics guy to be able to spread his logistics power across as many divisions as he can.

Now, for Niklas Daucourt.

He has about 4 skill.

Commando Expert: This general is an expert at adapting to new situations. He gets a bonus when co-coordinating with behemoths, or other Special Forces, and his own special forces start automatically at Elite, and take 5 months to recruit. He also gets more options when deployed behind enemy lines.

Paratroopers are most suited to his bonuses seeing as he works for behind lines shit.

I'm rolling in 20 minutes if anons can't decide.

Fire Mage

Battlefield Mage: This general is a battlefield mage, and can use a wide array of spells to defeat his enemies. He can be attached to a division, or lead a division.

If you give him the half dragon mutagen, he also gets the bonus below.

Blood Mage: Due to being a half dragon, this general uses his own blood to power his spells, greatly increasing his magical power, at the cost of weakening him.

Do anons want to attach him to a division?

Done.

You of course, fucking sigh and collapse on your desk from all this fucking work you just did. At least everything organized now, neatly...

You set the papers to the side, having successfully organized your military.

Honestly, this is useless... We're in a time loop now... And unlikely to escape unless w-

Technically speaking, the time loop has come to an end.

...How do you know?

Well, judging from how today's been vastly different, I think it would be safe to say this.

...Why today?

...Well, it's very well possible the mage simply ran out of mana, or used the time you were stuck to do something.

...Great.

You of course, relax in your desk, and check the time... It's almost seven at night. Great.

You sigh a bit, and lean back. You know, you should really get a private office somewhere... A library is nice, but somewhere more closed off would really help you focus...

...You can't help but daydream about how maybe having a secretary would be nice, with your own private office... Hopefully the secretary would be cute...

Of course, as you think, you hear the door being knocked on lightly.

"Oh, goddamn it... Just get in here so I can actually explain this to you."

You open the door for her, and pick up your daughter, and sit in your office chair.

"...Now, I just broke it to test a theory I had regarding television... Anyways, you remember your mother, Elizabeth, correct?"

"...What about mom?"

"...Just wondering something. Anyways, I'm not mad at you, but I'm just trying to understand something about what's going on..."

"Oh."

"...It's very... Well, let's just say it's complicated. Now, is that all?"

She slightly perks up at the fact you aren't mad at her, and seems happy.

"I um... No... But since I'm here... Why do humans act so weird?"

"...Erh... What do you mean?"

"...People think having slaves is weird and mean."

"...And who told you that?"

"The amerikan guy you talk to! With the funny accent..."

"...Which one?"

"The one that doesn't speak Swedish good... Erm... Victor?"

"...Victor. Why would he be telling you his opinion on our family's slaves?"

"...I kinda wanted to talk to him about what Amerika is like... Apparently, they have lots of food, and other cool stuff, like voting. Apparently slavery is weird there, and illegal."

"Voting."

"Yeah! So I can vote for people I like! Like you!"

"...Ah."

"So um... Why do humans have weird stuff like not having slaves, and also voting for people?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Well, I mean, being a king is cool. Except for the part that your busy all the time."

"...Well, the female word is queen."

"Can I be a queen?"

You give her a pat on the head, and she laughs a bit uncontrollably. It seems she's ticklish around the ears.

"There's more you can do beyond that."

"...I like the name though..."

You look at the time, and notice that it's about time to go to take your daughter to bed.

"Come on, it's about time now..."

"...Aw... I wanna talk to you more..."

"Rules are rules, Elslif."

She quietly rests her head on your shoulder as you carry her to bed.

You of course begin to tell a story to your daughter about the time you tried to find your parents. Eventually, she passes out, and you honestly feel like passing out...

You leave the bedroom after kissing her goodnight, and head to bed, when a servant approaches you.

"Sir?"

"...What?"

"...The White Death has resigned from governorship of Finland."

"...Wait, really?"

"...Apparently he wants to go back to living by himself, sir."

...Huh.

"...Who do we have as a replacement?"

"...He suggested General Mannerheim."

"...Mannerheim?"

"...The man in charge of defending Finland during war against Russia, sir."

"Anyone else?"

"...Ther'es also the Prince Phillipe of Hesse be crowned as the king of Finland. He's related to the Germans, sir."

...Hm... Quite unexpected.

Critical Success.

You wake up the next morning, and notice something when you go to turn on the TV.

...The Finns are holding a festival for you defeating the Russians... Apparently calling you the "Valtava Ruotsalainen Lohikäärme Kuningas"

...Which roughly translates to "Immense Swedish Dragon King."

Finland now actively will provide recruits for the army, along with pay more in taxes. Additionally, they seem to formally recognize you as their "king", but you have a feeling that's only because you got on their good side from doing this.

You fail to really do much on how to influence the Finns to be hellenic in any way, beyond relying on consumerism.

The only thing you manage to do is have a slight Hellenic trend in their armed forces, which is you just renaming them from soldiers to legionnaires, which doesn't honestly change much, but it sounds nicer, in your opinion.

Now of course, you decide to try and diplomatically annex them...

You begin to offer benefits to doctors willing to stay or come here... Though the situation has been let out of control for quite a while, it's starting to calm the problem a bit...

There's a small amount of doctors in Finland now, and you have a feeling this will boost your PR further...

This alone however, isn't enough to single-handily make Finland want to join you... You need a bit more...

We're a giant dragon that can breathe underwater.
Take time to guide schools of fish into net. Also try grabbing some of the bigger game and dropping it onto their boats.

>Helping to cut down trees
This is we're the prehensile tail comes in handy.
We can use it to uproot trees and carry them for delivery to lumberjacks. We can also use our humanoid dragon form if we have that.
Should help us grab a good haul.

>Overseeing our brand
This is the part where we travel to each city our brand is at. Asking customers how their time went, making sure the employees are following the rules, and checking to make sure each facility is up to code.
Should be easy for the reason I'll mention later.

>Helping to stop crime
We're a 200 story, three headed dragon with 3 pairs of eyes on each head.
We can go up to places, give threatening speeches to all potential lawbreakers in them and maybe even catch a few crimes in progress (And plop them right in front of police stations too for added fun)

>Finding butter
Look in the less crowded/Developed areas searching for farms with large quantities of cows. That's where all the butter will be.
As for paying it back we can do it in gold, mined directly from nearby mountains.

>Helping old ladies cross the street.
If we want to have fun with it we can use our tail as a small sort of bridge that the elderly can walk across to get over the street even when the light is red.

>Helping Wageslaves
Take the wageslaves to Renexisnack™ brand™ fast™ food™ places. We can eat with them(Outside) while giving them (loud) lectures on efficiency and how to be both fast and accurate at work.

All things considered. Getting work advice from a dragon should liven their day up.

Right.

Anyways, you go inside the kobold village.

It seems to have certainly grown a bit, with some of the clan houses being enlarged the last time you've seen them.

...You also note that there seems to be a public eating area now, with what seems to be stone benches and tables set up. You also smell the faint whiff of alcohol...

You of course, note the village hasn't exactly noticed you, caught up with either sleeping or working. You let out a bit of a cough to alert the kobolds to your presence.

...Which of course, gets them to fully focus on you, offering their tribute to you like your somesort of god or something... A god with a medieval butter silo under his arm...

...It seems like their tribute is a bit more valuable, being legitimate gold. You'd probably put the value in your world to be roughly two million... You do have a particularly keen sense, that the villagers could give you even more, if you were so inclined to look...

You of course, accept the tribute and tell the kobolds how they've been doing a good job... And think about the old days, how you just had a tiny amount of money and jewels...

Soon after this, some of the kobolds clammer to tell you something.

Apparently, the previous elder has died of pneumonia, and now the tribe is trying to think on who to appoint as the next one.
