It is possible for Rizia to launch the Crown restoration pact, an initiative to support monarchist movements in unstable republics. If relations between romus and smolak do not improve, Wehlen could be a priority target of this initiative. Assuming that members of the dynasty that ruled over Wehlen are still alive.

After all, the country was once an ally of Rizia. Moreover, it is a territory rich in natural resources and which would allow to connect Rizia to Rumburg without passing by the Markian sea dominated by Valsgland.

We can’t say that Wehlen is very stable. The standard of living for Wezeks is among the lowest in the world, and the suicide rate is through the roof. The bluds are leading an insurrection in the north of the country and power is very centralized around smolak. It is not unthinkable that if Smolak were to die before his son reached adulthood, the country could suffer a third civil war.

Obviously, this project would be very complex to implement. Direct military intervention would be difficult, even with a simultaneous attack from Rumburg and Rizia with an overwelming power projection. Stabilizing the new regime would be even harder. After several decades, monarchism is probably a marginal movement but it has the advantage of being able to promise a fantasized past. After all, the republic has above all brought to the country civil war, famine, and a regime that is still just as tyrannical, if not more, than before.

Given that United Contana is unlikely to abandon such a strategic pawn, perhaps the monarchists could ally themselves with liberals to build a constitutional monarchy. If Wehlen develops a market economy and financially compensates for the nationalization of the old regime, perhaps Lespia could support the change.

It is likely that this scenario will fail and that Rizia will just be stuck in an endless war like Afghanistan, but what would happen if Grace managed to expand by sustainably tearing off an ally from the CSP? How would a restored Wehlen Kingdom change the world order? What would it change for Sordland? For the ATO? The CSP?

" Steward, the rapid increase in population overloaded the city’s sewers. Several basements are flooded, and citizens begin to complain about the smell and lack of hygiene. To solve this problem, the delegates proposed a program of modernization of our sewer system, but they do not agree on how. "

This event would increase squalor until the law is passed.

1. Progress: chemical treatment of wastewater

" An industrial treatment plant will be built in the central district to treat wastewater by mechanical and chemical processes. Residual waste will be burned. Quality controls will ensure that the water is safe for consumption."

Advantage: Squalor and disease are reduced.

Disadvantage: -3 permanent heat stamps for maintenance increase the demand for materials.

Event (if the city has a chemical hothouse or excessive use of fertilizers in hothouses) :

"Steward, since we have been using fertilizers on a massive scale, the sludge resulting from our treatments contains large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus. Some engineers believe that this waste could be recycled to produce new fertilizers instead of being incinerated. However, other citizens are concerned about the health impact of these products contaminated by our waste."

This will offer 2 options:

"Prioritize water quality": trust increases slightly.

"Recycling fertilizers": food production and disease increase slightly.

2.Adaptation: Biological filtration of wastewater

"Water treatment plants will be installed in the food districts to filter and then purify wastewater using plant roots and bacteria."

Advantage: squalor decreases

Disadvantage: illness increases

Event: Contaminated water

"Steward, it seems that the wastewater from our industries is not properly filtered by our new system. Even worse, toxic compounds contaminate the food in our greenhouses. If nothing is done, we will have to do something about a food poisoning outbreak.

Our engineers propose a method for cleaning up water, but it will be costly to adapt the infrastructure. Perhaps it would be simpler to stop the source of pollution directly."

"Decontaminate water using chemical processes": Biological filtration no longer increases disease and -1 heat stamp permanent.

"Regulate the use of hazardous compounds by industry": productivity decreases and biological filtration reduces disease.
