I’m getting really tired of the political games in my court. They basically blackmailed me into creating the Table of Ranks. Basically a meritocracy that allows the best of the best to do what they do best. Now this may seem great but for me it takes some more time to get these people fired because they are actually qualified and not stuck up aristocrats.]]> 2018-01-31 17:39:29 UTC https://padlet.com/katharine_curtis1/lalkc85szv65/wish/226697821 https://padlet.com/katharine_curtis1/lalkc85szv65/wish/226698458 I’m relived the Tsar has made the “Table of Ranks”, because my ineligible competitors will not become a bother]]> 2018-01-31 17:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/katharine_curtis1/lalkc85szv65/wish/226698458 https://padlet.com/katharine_curtis1/lalkc85szv65/wish/226698536

We need to put ourselves in the same mindset as the Europeans; the best way to do that is by applying their culture to our own.

We shall wear more pertinent clothing if we should ever wish to compare. The people should also shave their barbaric beards, and if they refuse I will give them no choice except to follow directions.
