Moral Renovation Campaign
The Moral Renovation Campaign (Alexandrian: Campagne de Rénovation Morale) is a social policy initiative launched by the National Salvation Council on 18.I.1745 AN[1] as part of the broader "Four Pillars" policy framework. The campaign aimed to strengthen Oportian society through the promotion of traditional civic virtues, family stability, and community engagement during the period of military governance following the 1744 Oportian coup d'état. Under the supervision of the Department of Public Information and local NSC administrators, the program emphasized the importance of stable family units, civic responsibility, and national service as foundations for social renewal.
Central to the campaign were pro-natalist policies encouraging families to have between two and four children, supported by expanded free childcare services and family allowances administered through the Emergency Economic Stabilization Committee. The program promoted victory gardens and household self-sufficiency as expressions of patriotic duty, while family education seminars provided guidance on child-rearing, financial planning, and civic participation. The campaign explicitly defined families as committed partnerships between adults raising children together, regardless of the partners' gender, reflecting the regime's focus on social stability and population growth rather than traditional marriage structures. As part of its comprehensive family policy, the National Salvation Council specifically tasked same-sex couples with adopting from the substantial number of orphaned children in Oportia, framing this as their patriotic duty to raise "the next generation of Oportian greatness" and contribute to national demographic recovery. Public education curricula were modified to include courses on "Family Values and Civic Duty," while community centers organized family-oriented activities and workshops on practical skills such as gardening, home economics, and emergency preparedness.
Childcare and family support programs
The National Salvation Council implemented comprehensive childcare and family support services as the cornerstone of the Moral Renovation Campaign's pro-natalist agenda. Beginning in II.1745 AN[2], the regime established the National Childcare Service (Service National de Garde d'Enfants), providing free childcare for children aged six months to five years at government-operated facilities in all 33 federal cities. The service operated on extended hours from 06:00 to 20:00 to accommodate working parents, with specialized evening and weekend care available for families employed in critical industries such as Alexandrium mining and national security.
Pregnancy support measures included free prenatal care through expanded Oportian National Health System clinics, nutritional supplements distributed by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Committee, and paid family leave extending up to eighteen months for both parents. The regime introduced the "Family Prosperity Allowance," providing monthly payments of 350 Oportian Mérite per child under age 16, with additional bonuses of 1,000 Oportian Mérite for families achieving the campaign's target of two to four children (bonus applied per child). Housing assistance programs prioritized larger families for subsidized accommodation, while the National Youth Service of Oportia provided teenage babysitting services as part of civic duty requirements. The Department of Public Information coordinated extensive public education campaigns promoting the health benefits of larger families and the patriotic importance of contributing to Oportian demographic strength, featuring testimonials from military families and prominent citizens who had embraced the regime's family planning goals.
