Buryatia national focus tree

As one of the Russian unifiers, Buryatia has a unique national focus tree.

The initial Buryatia national focus tree can be divided into one branch with three sub-branches:

**The Spark branch**
This is the main branch of Buryatia's national focus tree, It focuses on securing the revolution.
**Of Hope sub-branch**
This sub-branch gives weapons and manpower to Buryatia.
**Of Equality sub-branch**
This sub-branch focuses on the social reform aspects of the revolution.
**Of Anger sub-branch**
This sub-branch strengthens Buryatia's military and war support.

## The Spark branch

The time has come, comrades! For too long has the tyrant Yagoda sat in his ivory tower while the rest of us starved in the dirt. For too long have the corrupt men of the NKVD prowled the streets, taking our friends and family in the dead of night, never to be seen again. The will of the avenging proletariat shall put an end to this, lead by our Comrade-In-Arms, Valery Sablin, for It was he who first took a stand, he who first questioned the tyrant, he who looked death in the face and said 'No.'
With the aid of the Buryats, our ASSR has been reborn, and together, arm in arm, brothers and sisters, we will light the spark of revolution right under Yagoda's feet - and when the time comes, he will be consumed in its blaze.

### Of Hope sub-branch

 For Our Families
 Broadcast the Message
(**Irkutsk**) Gets event '**Red Airwaves**'.
One of the greatest advantages at the ASSR's disposal is the radio towers scattered across the Buryat landscape, instruments with which we can inform the populace - and the enemy - of the Revolution.
 For the Future
 Nothing to Lose but Your Chains
(**Verkhneudinsk**): Add **1 Infrastructure**.
Come, Comrades, join our righteous struggle! Dream of a world in which no man is a slave, no man is subject to the cruel whip or the bullet, a world where democracy and the worker come before all! We can make this world a reality, Comrades, all we need is your strength, your anger, and your hope. Join with us, Comrades, and together we will save the Motherland from the strife that engulfs it, and usher in a new age of peace and prosperity!

### Of Equality sub-branch

 The Dreams of Those Before
A seemingly forgotten aspect of the October Revolution was a strong focus on women's rights. As Lenin wrote when discussing the new Bolshevik Russia, "We are bringing the women into the social economy, into legislation and government." We must follow in his example.
 And the Will of Us Today
Manpower: **+1250**.
Political Power: **-25**.
Replace **Non-Combat Only** with **Combat Roles**
Effective change:
Recruitable Population Factor: **+15%**
Stability: **-1.00%**
War Support: **-2.00%**
The time has come to finish our reforms in regards to the social status of women, at least for now. Comrade Sablin has declared, as a wartime measure, that women are to be treated essentially identically as men, including methods of work, the law, and the draft. While this is a rather patchwork solution, it is a necessary one for now.
If we are to win this war, we need all hands on deck.

### Of Anger sub-branch

While Comrade Sablin's reforms and dreams are a revolution in and of themselves, we must not forget our war is not one of gradual, tolerant reform, but a bitter fight for survival and justice itself. Throughout the ASSR, there is not one man, woman, or child that has not felt the bitter sting of loss; all have felt the cold bite of the NKVD's perverted mockery of justice.
 For Those Lost
**1.25K** units of Buryat **Infantry Equipment** is added to the national stockpile.
 Answers for Their Crimes
(**Irkutsk**) Gets event '**Attack of Children's Crusade**'.
The question of what to do with captured NKVD officers is one that has weighed heavily on Comrade Sablin's mind. One side of the rebellion calls for rehabilitation, for the prisoners to able to redeem themselves and reintegrate into society. The other calls for revenge, or at the very least imprisonment.
Comrade Sablin has thus decided that wartime tribunals will be established, where each man will be given a fair trial and will be given either rehabilitative measures or punitive ones. However, Comrade Sablin has made it abundantly clear that under no circumstances will executions be performed.
 For Those Forsaken
The Buryats, our benefactors and comrades, have felt their own share of tyranny. Discriminated against by Yagoda's government under the thin guise of opposing 'reactionary groups', clearly a simple ruse designed to hide their racism. Under Comrade Sablin, however, such things will not be tolerated.
 No Need to Fear
All too often have our forced liberated a settlement or town, only to be met with the terrified pleas of its' inhabitants, begging for their homes and lives; in this we see Yagoda's most insidious weapon, propaganda. In the minds of the lost souls within Irkutsk, the ASSR is not a liberating force, it is an army of brigands, rapists, and killers, only out to plunder their riches and destroy the socialist paradise 'Comrade' Yagoda has worked so hard to build.
Of course, this is utter nonsense, but those living under the yoke cannot, -must not- be blamed for their ignorance. We will make efforts to spread the news of our true intentions to the people, wiping the mist away from their eyes and exposing Yagoda for the traitor and monster he is.

### Final focus

Upon the defeat of Irkutsk, a new focus tree for Buryatia will appear:

The second Buryatia national focus tree can be divided into one branch with three sub-branches:

The Revolution Victorious **branch**
This is the main branch of Buryatia's national focus tree. It focuses on dealing with the aftermath of the revolution.
**In Our Hearts sub-branch**
This sub-branch focuses on the social reform aspects of the revolution.
**In Our Homes sub-branch**
This sub-branch deals with rebuilding the nation,
**Trying the NKVD sub-branch**
This sub-branch focuses on dealing with the remnants of the NKVD.
## The Revolution Victorious branch

We are victorious and Yagoda sits in our prison, awaithing his fate. We have proven our strength and will on the battlefields of Siberia and we can now transform our region into a worker's dream! Ket those who doubted our chances of success be crushed by the boot of Leninism. Nevertheless, our territory has been ravaged by war and much of the infrastructure we had was damaged. Our nation must now begin the reconstruction of the land and build a state much like the old Soviet state under Lenin.
 Stoke the Fires
Change in popularity of Authoritarian Socialism: **+7.50%**
Political Power: **+50**.
Let us promote our revolutionary ideals to make a better society. People have become lethargic and fearful because of the brutality and terror tactics of Yagoda, but cruelty is not what socialism should be about. The workers should love their government, not be scared of it. Socialism is not the dread of what punishment is to come, but the anticipation of what reward is to be made.
For socialism to work it is in dire need of the support of the people. This is where Yagoda failed, but we will succeed.
To achieve this we need some propaganda. We must appear as a loving and caring government to the populace. Posters will be around every corner and the radios will be filled with revolutionary messages! Likewise, we must also give more rights to the laborers in the factories and farms. We will have support in no time!

### In Our Hearts sub-branch

There's no other place to start than by improving the lives of our people socially. Our society is still mired in the tradition of the Tsars. This is a huge issue for our appearance to the other warlords and if we want to be a Leninist state, we will have to look like one. We must take care of this problem at once. Women deserve rights just like men.
 The Shackles Broken
Political Power: **-85**.
The place of women in the revolution has always been a question for many socialist movements, ours among them. Women deserve the freedom of defending their rights and the revolution, why can't they fight on the front lines or work as medics in the field hospitals?
 Steady Reform
**This will empower the Sablinite wing of the party!**
Political Power: **-75**.
Replace **Combat Roles** with **Total Service Equality**
Effective change:
Recruitable Population Factor: **+15%**
Stability: **-1.00%**
War Support: **-2.00%**
Replace **Women in the Workplace** with **Gender Equality**
Effective change:
Monthly Population: **-10.0%**
Recruitable Population Factor: **+15%**
Stability: **-5.00%**
Factory Output: **+5.00%**
Dockyard Output: **+5.00%**
As Marx so incisively surmised long ago, human history can be best understood through the lens of the oppressed and his oppressor, each diametrically opposed in their ceaseless struggle.
However, age was wizened the oppressor. In those lands not yet claimed by the fascists, he employs an insidious method to mask his intentions. A mask forms upon the contours of his face. Slowly, he morphs into something new; a "rational moderate/"
Quick to support theoretical causes, he will suffer no discomfort acknowledging a position's moral righteousness. Oh yes, this cause is surely just.
His connection however, appears upon any real implementation. "Is it time?" he cris, "Why must you alienate the people with such swift changes?"
 Place the Dominoes
Mutually exclusive with **Steady Reform**
**This will empower the Bukharinist wing of the party!**
Gain Base Stability:: **+7.50%**
Replace **Combat Roles** with **Total Service Equality**
Effective change:
Recruitable Population Factor: **+15%**
Stability: **-1.00%**
War Support: **-2.00%**
Replace **Women in the Workplace** with **Gender Equality**
Effective change:
Monthly Population: **-10.0%**
Recruitable Population Factor: **+15%**
Stability: **-5.00%**
Factory Output: **+5.00%**
Dockyard Output: **+5.00%**
Comrade Sablin has stated his views on the matter many times. The revolutionary woman is to be equal to the revolutionary man.
However, unlike many of his other contentions, these claims have fallen on mostly deaf ears. The Soviet people, disparate and embroiled in chaos, have adopted quite a few reactionary attitudes over these last decades. In addition, centuries of traditional Russian culture have aided few in challenging these thoughts.
 The Revolutionary Woman
**- Steady Reform- Place the Dominoes**
Beyond any policy arguments or proposed reforms, it is clear that Socialism benefits all. With the destruction of bourgeois property relations, the expansion of welfare, and the reordering of society, conditions are rapidly changing.
No longer forced to pry an existence from the hands of their masters, the women of the Soviet Union enjoy many benefits. Freed from wage labor, they now have time for jovial pursuits. Adequate attention can be safely given to family, career, duty, and happiness.
In addition, mothers no longer suffer the indignity of working alongside their child. Public schooling and relaxed quotas have ensured a better upbringing, and an end to any lingering child labor.
The extent of our policy may vary, but it is undeniable that the socialist woman has become emancipated by the revolution.

### Final focus

Dreams are fickle things.
In their time, they wield unraveled power. Dreams triumph over all reason, manipulating reality itself to suit their whims. Indeed, dreams are influential actors.
However, they find themselves no match for the morning sun, fading like a distant mirage into its yellow horizon.
The people of Lake Baikal have awoken, and for the first time in history, the dream has not receded. What started as an impassioned speech in a radio tower has grown into a mass movement. A simple rebellion; the spark needed to revive the socialist spirit.
We have achieved one seemingly impossible task, and with the end of tyranny we march towards another. Reunification will not be easy, but it will be necessary. Let us carry the torch across the east. The dreams of October will not fade this day!

Upon the completion of the second Buryatia national focus tree, a new tree will appear:

The third Buryatia national focus tree has only one branch:

Spreading the Revolution **branch**
This is the main branch of Buryatia's national focus tree. It focuses on dealing with Aldan and preparing for the liberation of the Far East.
## Spreading the Revolution branch

Upon the completion of the final focus, a new focus tree will appear:

The fourth Buryatia national focus tree can be divided into one branch with two sub-branches:

**The Far Eastern War branch**
This is the main branch of Buryatia's national focus tree, It focuses on uniting the Far East.
**Tragedy and Farce in Exile sub-branch**
This sub-branch deals with the 'Harbin Three' of Amur, Magadan, and Chita.
The Man of God **sub-branch**
This sub-branch focuses on dealing with Alexander Men's Divine Mandate of Siberia.
## The Far Eastern War branch

While a bitter and unsatisfying peace reigned in the East, things have suddenly shifted so suddenly, and so quickly. From the rise of the mysterious Alexander Men in the north, to the bloody conflict that has resulted in a unification of the Harbin Three in the east, two sudden issues plague us.
With renewed forces on both sides, we will have to make our moves carefully, lest the torch of our revolution is extinguished. Our soldiers will ready their rifles, steel their minds, and prepare themselves for war once more.

### Final focus

Gets event '**Red Sun Rising**'.
This will **slightly decrease coring time**.
It wasn't an easy path, nor a short one, but now that the misguided Father stands defeated and the perfidious fascists are shattered, we now find ourselves in control of what was once known as the Russian Far East. Already, our dedicated soldiers, commissars, and ideologues are working hard on spreading our message of revolution far and wide through the vast Siberian territories. We have begun what many are currently referring to as a "red spring" throughout the East, our soldiers bringing liberation and the massage that a new revolution is here to stay.
As Comrade Sablin and his closest confidants continue to prepare for the liberation of all Russians, the future of the Far East and Russia in general continues to brighten, and many, for the first time in recent memory, see a ray of hope where a derelict, reactionary Union once dominated leftist political thought.
