Teddy Roosevelt (Civ6)/Bull Moose

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (27 October 1858 – 6 January 1919) was the 26th President of the United States, best known for his vigorous foreign policy that sought to turn the United States into an international great power, as well as for his progressive reforms and conservation of nature. He leads the Americans in Civilization VI.
Bull Moose Teddy knows there can be no greater issue than the conservation of breathtaking scenery, for America advances quickly when placing National Parks just outside its major cities.
This is one of Teddy Roosevelt's two alternate personas, the other being Rough Rider Teddy.
== Intro ==
 And so it is upon your broad shoulders, Theodore Roosevelt, to charge forth and lead your people on their great adventure. Use your military might to give the peoples of your homeland the square deal they so desperately deserve. Surely you will raise America into the limelight and attract visitors from across the oceans just to see your lands. Bully for you, Mr. President.
== In-Game ==
Bull Moose Teddy's unique agenda is The Bull Moose. He wants to settle in high Appeal areas, and focuses on maximizing Appeal in his land. He respects those with many high Appeal tiles, and dislikes those with low Appeal tiles.
His leader ability is Antiquities and Parks. It grants additional yields for tiles with Breathtaking Appeal: when adjacent to a Natural Wonder or Mountain, and when adjacent to a Wonder or Woods. It also increases the Appeal of all tiles in cities with a National Park.
== Detailed Approach ==
Bull Moose Teddy favors the government choices of Classical Republic, Merchant Republic and then Democracy for they give him the Economic and Wildcard policy slots he needs as he heads toward a Culture Victory. With his Film Studio, National Park bonus, and the ability to earn and from Breathtaking tiles, Teddy is a cultural juggernaut, especially when possessing lands of great natural beauty.

Greeting 	Welcome to the United States of America. If you conduct yourself well, you can consider us friends.

Quote from Civilopedia: It is important to leave a better land for our descendants.
[Note: This is based on a quote from a speech that Roosevelt gave at Osawatomie, Kansas on August 31, 1910, where he outlined his views on conservation of the lands of the United States - "Of all the questions which can come before this nation, short of the actual preservation of its existence in a great war, there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us, and training them into a better race to inhabit the land and pass it on."wikipedia:Political positions of Theodore Roosevelt#Conservationist]
