The Warrior has been sent out to explore and may find a ruin that will speed things up more. Since the first Policy costs 35 Culture and the second 50 Culture, the calculation is that France will reach the first Policy (which will be Tradition) no later than Turn 11 and the second Policy by Turn 17, a full 10 turns before Korea was able to at the same speed. At this pace the Monument will be complete in 10 turns. By using the Citizen Management options, Paris has locked a citizen on the un-improved Stone which means Paris is already generating +6 Production when combined with the production from the Palace as well as the hill starting tile. With the +2 Culture from Napoleon's Ancien Régime, Paris is already generating +3 Culture per turn at Turn 0. Napoleon is going to blow that out of the water. This lead to the second Policy on Turn 27.

Seoul started with the default +1 Culture per turn, built the Monument on turn 11 adding +2 Culture, and then selected Tradition as the first Social Policy on Turn 19 adding +3 Culture in the capital.

In the previous example, Sejong and Korea used the Monument to Tradition combo to accelerate Culture production in Seoul from +1 Culture a turn up to +6 by turn 19. After determining that most leaders can rush to the first Social Policy by Turn 19 (on Epic speed) and the second by Turn 27, Napoleon is going to show how France dominates the Policy rush by using the Ancien Régime bonus of +2 Culture per turn from Cities.
