Dear Diary,
The war is finally over, it lasted a long six years. In the war we annexed part of Poland(1772) and brought Southern Ukraine, the Crimea and Northern Caucacus under my control. The year is now 1774 and I feel that I have much more to do to make a better country, a better Russia. With all of this to do along with my long lists and taking care of those Serfs which I really don't think should exist, I have to make sure to keep the county united with its new parts. I hope that this works out well and can maybe bring up the legislative commission to fix the old laws again.
My regards,
Catherine
