Growing Imperial Influence

While not every country deserves to be part of our tributary network it is becoming increasingly clear that our influence in this region is on the rise. Even countries where we have little, if any, direct power feel the need to actively position themselves along the guidelines we set for countries in our sphere. In many courts the our culture language is seen now as the language of diplomacy and culture and our our ruler figures as an authority in the minds of men and women far beyond our borders.
