The Emperor Persona for Napoleon follows an agenda known as the Napoleonic Code, which improves his relationship with players who have the smallest standing army and worsens it with those who have the largest standing navy.

This persona follows an agenda called Culture from Conquest, disliking leaders with numerous alliances but favoring those with the highest Culture Per Turn.
