21st Century Burgoignesc Power Projection Stratagem: Difference between revisions

She follows in the footsteps of all members of the [[List_of_Rulers_of_Burgundie#Palacin_Dynasty|Palacin dynasty]] in creating a ''Condicio Princeps'' (Eng. Position of the heir to the throne (Prince)), essentially a whitepaper on how they plan to rule and the priorities they intend to pursue in the initial years of their reign. The ''Condicio Rex'' was introduced during the process of selecting a new Great Prince in [[1985]] when it became clear that August II would not have an issue, and was rather unpopular. The [[Government of Burgundie#Executive Branch|Advisors of the Court of St. Alphador]] went through an arduous selection process and by the end of [[1987]] had still not found a suitable candidate and they adjourned for Christmas and New Years' holidays. On their return in mid-January of [[1988]] they received an unsolicited pamphlet titled ''Condicio Rex'' which laid out, in detail, the work of ruling. It was proposed by the head of the Palacin family, Maurice, a descendant of the [[List_of_Rulers_of_Burgundie#Palacin-NordHalle_Dynasty|Palacin-NordHalle Dynasty]]. Being willing to commit to paper the tenets of his hopeful ascension made him appear to be a more stable candidate. He was interviewed and showed much promise despite being unpolished. He was offered to publish the ''Condicio Rex'' for public comment and to be received by the population, which he accepted. The public didn't quite know what to make of it and it was bizarrely received. When he announced he was abdicating 11 years later in favor of his son [[Pasqual I]], due to a rapid decline in health there was a public demand for a ''Condicio Princeps''. While [[Pasqual I]] is still in good health and has shown no sign of abdicating, he has publically given Princess Amelia a much more prominent role in government and has given her a couple of high profile task forces regarding modernizing military, particularly naval, strategy.
