The Stability of the [Root.GovernmentName]

---

The following description is used if:

• Has enacted the “Pirate Republic” government reform

Disputes between the pirate captains and [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] have spiralled out of control. Not trusting [Root.Monarch.GetName] to give up power of [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] own accord, the captains have joined forces to depose [Root.Monarch.GetHerHim]. With [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] body safely swinging from the gallows, they have come together to form a "Mutineer Council" that will guide the [Root.GovernmentName] through this troubled time.

• Has enacted the “Revolutionary State” government reform

Confidence in the Republic's institutions have deteriorated to the point that there has been widespread talk of a counter-revolutionary coup.

The Trial

---

My most noble $MONARCHTITLE$, your eldest son is on trial for corruption and bribery. There is no doubt that the charges are true, the conviction of your eldest son would be a serious personal blow to you. On the other hand we could of course interfere in the trial and secure his innocence.

A New Coin

---

Expand the Bodyguard

---

The office of $MONARCHTITLE$ is challenged by enemies within and without, and thus a strong personal bodyguard is essential to ensure that [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] remains in power.

The Firebrand Preacher

---

A preacher has appeared prophesying the end of all we know and a new beginning. The preacher gained traction with our recent war but he isn't really pushing for the kind of republic we know. We could challenge him to a trail by fire, but this could create internal problems just when we need unity.

Division in the Council

The republic functions because of the agreed common purpose of the rulers who in turn represent the settled will of the ruled. Our republic has been turning back on the traditions that made us strong. The lack of cohesion in our ruling council is costing us militarily.

Disputes affecting governments

---

Republic's are successful when the important families are ready to put the republic's interest on a par with their own. Currently our republican traditions are under pressure and families are putting their own interests ahead of the republics. This is hurting our ability to govern, as consensus is harder to achieve.

Trade Wars

---

We always encouraged health competition between our merchants, but at the same time they always put the greater interest of the republic first. We would work together to ensure that the republic's trade was strengthened against the interest of rivals. Now this tradition is waning and the merchant class is becoming increasing fratricidal. This is hurting our country...

Ceremony Disrupted

---

One of the core parts of a republic are the great ceremonies of state. This is a time where disagreements and disputes between the patricians are put on hold so we can display our unity of purpose and show the world our strength. At a recent ceremony disgruntled elements turned their backs on our traditions to air their disagreements with the ruling council.

Trade Focus

---

Some members of our parliament feel that we're not putting enough focus on national trade. It's pretty clear to everyone that we're not exactly dominating trade in this area but we could certainly do worse, at least that's what the other members are claiming. If our previous track record is anything to go by, our parliament are not very likely to come to any sort of agreement anytime soon unless someone is able to talk some sense into them.

Trade Expansion

---

Discussions regarding ways to expand our trade have been ongoing in the Parliament for some time now.

Budgetary Disagreements

---

Our parliament seems to have some real difficulties coming to terms with how to govern our nation, whether it's agreeing on a budget, taxes, port duties or trade and customs policies.

Disagreements in the Parliament

---

Our Parliament is divided regarding the proposal to establish a new trade node. Most of them can't see any logical reason to why such a prominent trading nation as our own shouldn't have its own trade node, but as we all know, these things don't come cheap and therefore require careful consideration.

Parliamentary Problems

---

$STATESMAN$ has been quite busy lately, proposing new changes, one after the other. Although you could argue that they are only doing their job, their constant interference and attitude of 'knowing it all' in any matter even remotely related to politics is causing quite a rift in our parliament, there are even those that think we would do better without $STATESMAN$.

Heated Debates

---

Some members of the parliament are having some concerns regarding our increasingly bad reputation, they are claiming that it's having a negative effect on our trade relations. This question has been raised numerous times in the past but not that many have thought it of any consequence. This time the matter is causing some really heated debates though, perhaps we should try to settle things before they get out of hand.

Offense or Defense

---

The ongoing war has led to some serious conflicts in parliament. On the one side there are those arguing that there is nothing to be gained by allowing the war to drag on while others are convinced that there's no turning back. Unfortunately their inability to come to some sort of agreement does nothing to improve our current situation but rather the contrary.

An infiltrator in Parliament

---

There is a spy among us! Somehow a spy has managed to infiltrate our parliament and all of a sudden everyone is a suspect. We haven't managed to find out who sent him yet but since our relations with some of our neighbors are somewhat strained at the moment it was probably one of them.

A Traitor in the Parliament

Financial Disagreements

Our economy isn't what it has been. The treasury is almost empty and our parliament can't seem to figure out how to handle the situation or the reasons for it to happen in the first place.

Military Leniency

Economic Decisions

---

Our parliament is constantly exploring different ways to bring more money into our state treasury but as always there are disagreements regarding the best strategy. A heavy tax raise would improve the state of our treasury considerably but it is also very likely to upset the populace, a small raise on the other hand wouldn't improve our finances as much but wouldn't cause that many protests either.

Sympathizers of the Old Government

It would appear as though a few members of our parliament still sympathize with the former government. Neither of them will admit it of course, but their behavior is rather suspicious at times. It might be a good idea to investigate where their real allegiances lay.

Despite the considerable time and effort dedicated to the establishment of a new constitution, our parliament can't seem to agree on a common goal. So far, not a single proposition has been accepted by all parties and all normal activities have come to a standstill.

Lack of Support
