Modernization is a measurement of how much your country has westernized. As you might have noticed, there are a few issues with it like our +- Modernization gain. Note: The UI and the modifiers it gives are still very much in work in progress. “Handle the Boyars” and “Abolish the Mestnichestvo” are about your nobility and how you should get rid of your starting estate privilege. Missions like “Enact the Sudebnik” and “Book of Royal Degrees” concern themselves with administrative reforms in Russia. While the top part is heavily focused on conquest, the lower part is about the internal affairs of Russia. With that being said, let us continue with the missions of a unified Russia. “Compete with the Channel” is the penultimate end to it with a neat +25 permanent Power Projection as a reward. As such your missions are less about conquering your way to the Balkans but instead focusing on monopolizing the trade of Eastern Europe for yourself. While Monarchical Russia puts a great emphasis on the idea of a “Third Rome”, Republican Russia aims for commercial dominance in Europe. As I mentioned earlier, if you form Russia as Novgorod your mission tree will be slightly altered as it does not make much sense for you to be asked to “Conquer Novgorod” while you originally started as Novgorod. Before we go into the matters of Russia, we take a look at the Novgorodian part first. This was for the Muscovy part of the content.
