| - Catherine I, also known as Catherine the Great, (born 7 May 1729), was Queen of Youngia from 9 July 1762 until 17 November 1802, forty years. Under her direct rule the Youngian Empire expanded, improved it's adminstration, and continued its modernization. Catherine's rule re-vitalized Youngia, which grew ever stronger and became recognized as one of the great powers of Capitalist Paradise. Her successes in complex foreign policy and her sometimes brutal reprisals in the wake of rebellion (most notably Pugachev's Rebellion) complemented her hectic private life. She frequently occasioned scandal—given her propensity for relationships which often resulted in gossip flourishing within more than one Capitalist court. Catherine took power after a conspiracy deposed her husband, Peter III (1728–1762), and her reign saw the high point in the influence of the Youngian nobility. Peter III, under pressure from the nobility, had already increased the authority of the great landed proprietors over their muzhiks and serfs. In spite of the duties imposed on the nobles by the first prominent "modernizer" of Youngia, King Peter I (1672–1725), and despite Catherine's friendships with the western Capitalist thinkers of the Enlightenment (in particular Denis Diderot, Voltaire and Montesquieu) Catherine found it impractical to improve the lot of her poorest subjects, who continued to suffer (for example) military conscription. The distinctions between peasant rights on votchina and pomestie estates virtually disappeared in law as well as in practice during her reign. In 1785 Catherine conferred on the nobility the Charter to the Nobility, increasing further the power of the landed oligarchs. Nobles in each district elected a Marshal of the Nobility who spoke on their behalf to the monarch on issues of concern to them—mainly economic ones.
