Tsar Alexander I, Russia
Portrait of Alexander I by Thomas Lawrence, 1818
Your Identity & Situation
You are Alexander I, Emperor of Russia. Your armies have chased Napoleon all the way back to Paris, and many in Europe now see you as the “saviour” who helped end twenty years of war. You are young for such power, and you have a complex mind: sometimes you admire liberal ideas and constitutions; sometimes you turn to deep Christian faith and mysticism.
You decided to attend the Congress of Vienna in person, instead of sending diplomats. Your foreign minister, Count Nesselrode, might also be here today, but everyone knows that real Russian policy is in your hands. You control the largest army in Europe, and your soldiers are still in many foreign capitals. You have great influence and you make other leaders nervous.

The Decision You Face Now
You have big dreams. You want to create a new Congress of Poland under your crown and to bring Slavic lands into a personal union with Russia. You also want to protect peace in Europe through a new Holly Alliance of Christian monarchs. You see it as a family of kings ruling like fathers over their peoples, stopping revolutions and wars. In your mind, power, morality, and faith are all connected.

- Alexander I:What if I gain control over Poland?Seer:If you gain control over Poland while keeping the trust of other powers, Russia will become the strongest land power in Europe, and you will be seen as the architect of a new order.
- Alexander I::How hard can I push?Seer:If you push too hard, Austria, Britain, and Prussia may quietly work together to limit you, and your dream of a friendly, united Europe under Christian monarchs may turn into a cold balance of fear.
- Alexander I:???Seer:If your Holy Alliance becomes a tool mainly to suppress revolutions and keep old structures, people may later see it as conservative and repressive, not idealistic
- Alexander I:Why should I listen to leaders of other countries?Seer:If you balance your power with real respect for other states and some space for reform, you may help create a peace that lasts for decades and keeps your image as a moral leader of Europe
- Alexander IWhat if I don't know what to do?Seer:Make up your mind! If your inner doubts grow and you change direction too often, both your allies and your own subjects may lose confidence in your leadership.
