Objectives:
My objective is to make Finnsgard a more educational country promoting the Enlightenment among the elite. That would also help the lower class because the elite could influence them by spreading their knowledge. My religion has been converted to the orthodox, meaning that I am very opened to other religions and their beliefs. My purpose is not the change religion of the Finnsgardians, but to make the church seem equal to all, just as I had secularized the church lands in Russia. Having the country become orthodox would help influence the Finnsgardians with new scientific ideas. They should not interfear with the religious beliefs. I am one to believe in surfdom, meaning that free portion of land would be given to all serfs and peasants. As I am aware that the lower class in Finnsgard is in need of land, food (agriculture), and medical care. People with authority should have the right to use it. Even though their might be upper classes that have their own armies I would like to be able to come up with a compromise between myself and themselves as far as ruling goes.

Interview Answers:

Both of these bodies of people have a lot of power. They believe that they posses more power than others, and some of them wont even pay taxes. But what they do not realize that I, Catherine the Great posses the leadership and persuasive nature into persuade them into following my rulings and my kingdom.

I opened one of Russia's first hospitals which improved the medical conditions. Another accomplishment of mine was that many industries bloomed including fur trapping, pottery, leather goods, steel working, ship building, candle making under my authority. Lastly, my foreign relationships are strong and successful, using the example of China.

Education will flourish within Finnsgard and we will become one of the most advanced countries in the World!
