For absolutists:

  • model your country after North Korea (censorship, no freedom of speech, conscription, political prisoners, aggressive isolationist foreign policy...)
  • Take into consideration the far reaching effects of your desisions, even if you have, as king, utmost power.
  • re-open and subsidize factories
  • research military, cultural monuments
  • raise taxes to cover expenses (wars, etc.)
  • preserve religion
  • maintain serfdom
  • centralize authority (take nobles' power away, invest in government administration)
  • maintain military strength
  • If you feel obligated to.... attack weaker countries for control, show them who's boss
  • consolidate power-annex vassels and the like, and attempt to centralize power


For constitutional monarchies:

  • Depending on the restrictions of the constitution, raise taxes so that the people can still afford their daily needs. (Could do the same about ruling like an absolutist ^, exccept do not make large changes that would take away the purpose of a constitution)
  • Make your desisions based around constitutional limitations.

For republics:

  • Begin to see what your country consists of (people that are conservative, liberal, etc...)
  • Listen to what the people want.
  • Eliminate tariff barriers because it would encourage trade.
  • Having a fair taxing envoirnment (everyone gets taxed the same amount, regardless of social class).

General:

  • Ally with the countries who will grow in the near future
  • Think about the consequences and profits before starting a war
  • Help out your colonies (if you have any) because they will help out in the long run
  • Make sure choices are the reasonable and/or helpful to your own country
  • Competing with other nations has its risks and rewards.
  • Before making any big desisions, think about the effects.
  • Trade exports for more money.
