With sufficient investment and reform however, we should be able to become more than capable of meeting the peasants’ demands. |

![]() Clamp Down on Danzig Officially, Danzig is a free city under Polish protection, but as of late, the city has fallen into Nazi control and is a puppet to Adolf Hitler in all but name.

The Sanation government is legitimized by this legislation, but still there are those who long for the old system.

The government has split into three branches: The Castle, the Sanation Left, and the Sanation Right. It’s uncertain if the Castle can maintain control of the dictatorship, but the government must leave this state of indecision soon if it is to have any hope of withstanding the oncoming storm of war. |
