If you want to build a democratic and socialist Sordland without bending to Alphonso’s capitalist vision, this path is for you. This Suzerain 3.1.0 Guide walks through how to reform the constitution, break the oligarchs, and lead the People’s Party to victory — all while keeping the country stable, neutral, and fair.
This route focuses on creating a democratic socialist state under President Anton Rayne. You’ll reform Sordland’s constitution, preserve neutrality, dismantle oligarchic power, and ultimately form your own People’s Party to secure re-election.
This playthrough doesn’t chase modifiers — it aims to balance realism, reform, and roleplay. Expect compromises, tough negotiations, and political maneuvering to maintain unity while steering Sordland toward socialism.
Suzerain 3.1.0 Guide (October 2025)
Political Approach
Pursue socialist but democratic reforms.
Support Gloria’s reform efforts and get her to back Article 6 and 7 changes.
Ensure Lileas wins the USP leadership, then split off to found the People’s Party.
Maintain friendly relations with Bluds, but eliminate the BFF.
Bring down the Oligarchs — Koronti and Tusk — using the Anti-Corruption Police (ACP).
Diplomatic Stance
Maintain neutrality — no CSP membership or bilateral alliances.
Get Rumburg kicked out of OMEC and sanctioned by the Alliance of Nations (AN).
Keep peaceful trade with Agnolia, Valgsland, and Wehlen (partial OBT only).
Avoid involvement in the Heljiland crisis.
Economic Plan
No privatisation; nationalise Bergia Steel.
Leave Heart of Sordland (HOS) untouched until you can safely jail Tusk and Koronti.
Remove and later restore the EPA strategically to win Gloria’s support.
Use Gasom profits and Armadine investment for lobbying and social spending.
Military
Defund the military to reduce coup risk.
Keep good terms with Iosef and Valken — don’t use socialist rhetoric in front of them and don’t transfer the Gendarmerie to the Interior.
Social Policy
Embrace feminism and social equality.
Pass progressive acts like the Women’s Liberation Act and Children for Future Act.
Uphold democratic freedoms — never ban the Red Youth or opposition groups.
Personal Conduct
Be a devoted husband and father.
Balance duty with empathy — Monica supports your feminist agenda if you stay consistent.
Prologue
Choose poor background, Economics degree, and Student Council path.
Support feminism and social reform during your early choices.
Support Soll’s legacy and campaign for Alphonso, then advise him to step down.
