The best and shortest road towards knowledge of truth is Nature.

SECTION 7.
1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the Confederacy, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.


We're interpreting this to mean slavery exists.

I wasn't there for it but I'm told Francia had it. I'm doing away with it. Sentencing criminals to hard labor is only a wene. For a few years unil economics can catch up.

You could try it, but the Francian player would be the one to post its effectiveness.

You yourself said their economy is shit(like other countries that were invaded when their demagogue leaders made bad decisions and now you are making the entire nation suffer) so let's just level here a man offers you a book of lies for free and another man offers you the same kind of book in the same condition for 5 dollars/pounds/euros whatever you use. Which one would you take? I would take the free book because if I am as poor as you say I am I can still burn it as fuel for a fire. I really only think vocal propaganda will do anytime but no tvs or radios so no widespread vocal. You basically could get the same results by bribing every town crier and still come off cheaper. Would this man even take a bribe he is probably in the Francian Senate as Jean DuMont would be smart to get the allegiance of the man that could spread his propaganda. He would also probably be very nationalistic because of his privileged status. He could also accept your bribe and not do anything what are you going to do he could move into JAL controlled territory.

I meant like a newspaper mogul, not so much TV or radios, but many people get their news from newspapers. He is privelaged, but competed with Dumont in the private sector and does not like him because of his cut throat tactics. Kinda had a rivalry going on. As far as the bribe is concerned, it would be made up with not so much money, but more with land and getting rid of competition so that the mogul could expand his business, and make more money. Also, it is obviously not just vocal propaganda which has an affect, because if it was the government couldn't control it.

True unless all the presses are are state controlled then you gave a bribe to a powerless man

True, but I'm guessing not as a businessman is in control of the gov right? So probably capitalist galore?

I think its realistic and possible for there to be French Collaborators, men have betrayed their nation simply to stay alive if you throw money in there then that could be more then enough to sway them to your side, but collaboration with the enemy can mean a instant death if you get caught by your own people that you betrayed.
