>Five of Cups (Disappointment), reversed: Dissatisfaction gives way to a new hope and understanding.
>Era: 1699
>Location: Socotra
Actually, this place is SUPER neat. I'll need to figure out a way to build things up without compromising the local biodiversity.
>Identity: Presidente
Viva el presidente!
>Drawbacks: Dynasty (+400)
I'm not so sure that this is actually a DRAWBACK, per se. Unless I actually age. That would be bad.
>Faction: Capitalist (Free)

>Faction: Environmentalist (1300)
Just because I like money doesn't mean I can't have a long-term view.
>Urban Development (x3: 1200, Capitalist)
Considering I need to be extremely careful about the material my people get, it's best to ensure it stretches as far as it can.
>Preventative Medicine (x3: 900)
If I can give my people complete immunity to mundane disease, then I absolutely will. Especially when starting in an era where people usually have five or six kids in order for half of them to maybe make it to adulthood.
>Pollution Standard (x3: 800, Environmentalist)
Might not matter immediately, but if I can reduce the pollution everything puts out by 90%, you'd better believe I'm going to.
>Swiss Bank Account (700, Capitalist)
Well, this makes managing money in between jumps MUCH easier now.
>Real Organic Food (600, Environmentalist)
And just like that I become an exporter of food. Delightful.
>Man of the People (200)
Of course I'm a man of the people. I may be the presidente, but it's my responsibility to make sure the people are happy!
>Renewable Resources (0, Environmentalist)
Waste not, want not.

So. Three hundred years of running an island nation.

Let's not pretend that this is any sort of challenge, honestly; I'm going to use this to shape the development of humanity, export technology worldwide, and basically do everything in my power to spread humanity to the stars by the turn of the 20th century.
