With help of a newly recruited, 5-star statesman, Herr Gottfried von Merckatz, we can push for education reforms.
Herr Merckatz has also plans for a National Program that will introduce greater control over the population.
The Court at Prussia seems vary, but King August Wilhelm III is receptive.
Our coffers emptying, rebellions popping up, and our Stability taking hits like this...
King August Wilhelm III saw what progress and freethinking brings to Prussia.
It's time to stamp out these dangerous ways out of our glorious State!
A successful takeover of Priangan colony by some peasants incited Germans in Franken to rise against us!
We shall crush all the rebels, purge their families if need be!
Suddenly, August Wilhelm III dies, leaving his underage son in hands of a rather competent regency council.
Our regional authorities are NOT weak!
This brings our Stability into the red, so we commission a 6-star artist, Otto von Derfflinger, to help us party the trouble away.
Remember: always say no to decentralization.
World News next: the United Provinces of Oceanian Australia have formed!
A grand mixture of christians, muslim and hindus formed a republic and threw their oppressive overlords away.
MORE REBELS EVERY DAY.
In his inaugrational speech, young Friedrich IV said that it is not that the times are dangerous, but rather our old government is the problem.
He has vowed to make our autocracy more 'silk-gloved' than before, to help diminish our warmongering reputation and to increase bureaucracy to keep up with maintenance of the lands we've acquired so far.
He told us to prepare for governmental change once our country is stable and peaceful enough.
The governmental change brings an end to the era of Prussian drill, discipline and spartan way of training.
A softer, more enlightened approach to the leadership over the State incites more magistrates to show up.
To regain our leaking prestige, Emil Billerbeck is hired by King Friedrich IV, to spearhed the intellectual progress of the nation.
Old Hainaut has taken primacy over all Walloon and Flemish lands by proclaiming the creation of Kingdom of Belgium.
This has coincided with birth of Crown Prince Wilhelm Friedrich, heir and possibly future ruler of Prussian state.
"This cannot be mere coincidence", says Friedrich IV as he sets out to work an alliance with Belgium.
With Imperialism on mind, we go to war against Hungary, to recover the old prestige and reputation of glorious warlords.
That brings in Sweden to the fray, and we consider snatching Copenhagen from them, handing it to Schleswig.
We triumph over Hungary so well that we can reclaim the title of Defender of Catholic Faith.
And Belgium agrees to our alliance!
King Friedrich IV, ever the reformer, has decided that we must break with our traditions furthermore.
For decades we've been expanding, assimilating peoples into our fold. He argues that due to the multicultural mosaic that is our nation, we need to call ourselves not Prussia, but something else:
Germany!
