Semper Ad Meliora (Code Geass/Britannian Royalty Quest)

Since Euphy just wants to aid the Refugees in general I was wondering if she didn't have her own domain to help settle them if for whatever reason that becomes necessary for them. I would have thought with Cornelia and her Mother pushing Euphemia towards a more Stewardship focused life that they wouldn't possibly set aside some lands among the recent conquests for Euphy to 'practice' for lack of a better word.

Of course, us snatching her before she even finished school probably would have derailed that kind of plan. I'm mostly just curious what direct holdings the Li Britannia's had beyond their probable military assets and connections. Their titles beyond being Princesses like we're Earl of New Caledonia.
While Euphie (and Nunnally for that matter) both have lands they can relocate refugees towards, and are doing so, there's also a lot of refugees.

Especially since different Britannian holdings have wildly differing policies on this type of thing and immigration in general.
 
[X]Plan: For the future and power
-[X] Kallen's Squadron: Now that Sutherlands have been out for a year or two and the immediate demands of the army have been met, you'll be able to secure a few more units for Kallen to build a personal squadron. It will be a small unit, but composed of elite pilots under her tutelage and command as both your personal problem-solvers and guards on the field of battle. Cost: 300; Upkeep: 100; DC: 60; Rewards: Increase personal survival on the battlefield, Elite problem-solving unit.
-[X] War Games: You have an entire new fleet to break in and not much time to do it. If you don't take Weber's warning at face value, you might as well put them through their paces. You'll spend the year planning out a more formal doctrine and getting your new sailors used to operating these ships properly. Cost: 200; Upkeep: 50; DC: 40; Rewards: Fleet occupies itself doing something productive, Possible Bonuses dependent on rolls; chance of Greta's SL progressing.

These two I think are very advantageous, the Kallen squad will protect us until we have Gawain in our control and the war games will prepare our navy to face the pirates and the subsequent fight with Australia...moreover, progress the Greta's SL is not bad

-[X] See a Girl About a Robot: It's not that you doubt Dr. Jaeger, it's just that you have to continually remind yourself that the man is a genius in addition to being mad as a hatter. Somehow, as with all bizarre situations in your life, the solution seems to be to call Millicent Ashford. Cost: 300; Upkeep: 0, DC: 45; Rewards: Partner with the Ashford Conglomerate to analyze the Gawain, lower difficulty checks for Gawain Learning Action, Slight Chance for Milly's SL to Progress.
-[X] Area Eight: The Viceroy of the South Pacific, the Marquis Hugo von Eastbrook, has indicated a desire to meet with you at your leisure. Everything you know about the matter suggests a lack of urgency, but perhaps it is best to see what the man wants to talk about? Besides New Zealand is a very popular tourist destination, you're sure it will be a beautiful. Cost: 100; Upkeep: 0; DC: 40; Rewards: Information regarding ???.

I think it's time to see what the ruler of area eight wants, his agreement doesn't hinder what we intend to do while that of area nine is bad and I think we can take it easy if she becomes an "enemy" and prepares Gawain is perfect ... because it is Gawain, a perfect Knightmare for Lelouch to operate, in addition to speeding up the process to produce 7th generation knightmares faster

Yes, I like Refugee Crisis, but I don't think this will go away quickly and we can wait until the next shift for this

-[X] Enlarge Docks: Completes this year.
-[X] Domestic Supplies: It has come to your attention that your base imports all of your supplies, in particular food. While New Caledonia isn't exactly awash with fertile farmland and your stores will hold out should a shipment or two be delayed, an introduction of modern vertical farming and the sponsoring of a small fishing industry would be a welcome supplement. Cost: 300; Upkeep: 100; Time: 2 Years; DC: 30/60; Rewards: Domestic food supply, Possibility for Income Gain, start economic activity among the civilian population.

This is simple, we will improve our access to food to prepare for Refugee Crisis, in addition to starting greater economic activities on the island
 
Other than that, I'm both awake and back home now, so if people want to ask questions, I'll see what answers I can offer. Voting should remain open for twelve more hours.
Well, even if I have jumped out of my own plan, how much does Lelouch depend on food imports from the Areas 8 and 9, and how much the need would get if we accept refugees? Also, I now remember that Area 8 governor was known to cause problems through his pirate-pawns, so the risk of him messing with our shipments even from the mainland is a problem, yes?

To continue from those questions, how much would active base-level Domestic Supplies give us room for error with and without a reasonable amount of refugees? And how long does refugee crisis likely continue, meaning will do we know even the rough chances of it being available for the next turn? Does waiting change the results the same roll would have given us, and if so by how much?

Sorry for the deluge of questions. I'm just being kept up in the morning-night by the flipping birds that are having a serenade nearby. As well as my standard set of allergies at this time of the year (my sympathies for a fellow sufferer).

The vast majority of Lelouch's supplies are imported. I'd say, at max, thirty percent of his food is sourced locally taking into account fishing and what agriculture New Caledonia can naturally support. That's not counting anything like machined parts or fuel. Lelouch is smart enough to have a stored cache in the event of a problem, but that can only hold out for so long.

There is a risk of a concerted pirate raiding attack on Lelouch's supply lines in the event he causes problems or offends certain important people.

The refugee crisis length depends on the African Unions' event rolls this turn. If you don't have refugees to feed, I'd say that Lelouch can probably use modern limited vertical farming techniques and hydroponics to see to about 70% of his food supplies in a best cast scenario. More realistically, he'll probably be able to reliably source half his food locally on a permanent basis. It depends on how many refugees you accept and the results of the roll as to the percentage of your food supply you'll maintain if you take the action next turn.

Again, though, whether or not the African Unions can stabilize depends on their event rolls. The higher the roll they get, the more likely the crisis will abate. That said, they'd need 90+ for it to cease entirely. Even then though, there are a number of displaced people who will not want to go back after this has happened which you could offer permanent asylum to. It's very likely the action will persist for at least one more turn.
 
Can there be a piety action where we look for applications of psionics for subtle military use or for us to use the ninjas to recruit psionics for a training group we could have either Jaeger or Crowley experiment with overseen by Sayoko of course?

Stop looking at my notes!

More seriously, one of the last stumbling blocks to that sort of thing was overcome last turn with understanding that Jaeger can be trusted to keep to OpSec and dedicating part of a personal action to making sure he knows the ins and outs of proper military hardware.
Wait, what do we have that does use fuel instead of batteries charged up with renewables? Ships?
You do have emergency generators that still use diesel or bio-fuel. The ships largely use renewable bio-fuels where they can't make do completely with solar and batteries.

You also still need mechanic lubricants and other disposable products that can't be sourced locally.

Not looking at your notes but now that you mention it an interesting idea for intrigue is to look into anti psionic sentiment in the EU, Euro Brittania, and Africa to look for signs of the Cult of Ludd. Also maybe try to see what is going on with China or India.
Ooh one more piety action could be recruiting several psionics from the rank and file of Brittanian police or military and seeing what Wei or Jeanne could think up then experiment with in regards to security, espionage, intelligence, law enforcement or military uses.
Side note was that sarcasm? I actually can't tell.

Don't know if sarcasm's the right word but I'm pretty sure Slayer Anderson wasn't being serious. I'm fairly certain that Slayer was attempting to humorously reference the fact that all of your guesses/questions have been remarkably on point. Granted I'm not Slayer Anderson so I can't say for certain but that's the impression I have of the interaction.

Mostly this:

Less sarcasm and more of humorous deflection because regardless of how on-point someone is, I can't just say 'that's exactly what I was planning to do.'
 
Will there be any other royal children like say a fourth princess or an 8th prince? For that matter does Lelouch have any half l siblings being born right now or are still in their diapers? Charles has 108 wives after all and so far we seem to be focusing on the most prominent and powerful ten or so and their children but Charles is an emperor and a man so he has a reputation to keep and maybe some need? I am not sure.\

Is Bismarck Mexican or a gypsy because I don't think dark skin is a normal trait in pure blooded Britannians? If he was a gypsy and psionic it could be a possible explanation for his Galahad's sword Excalibur being so powerful as it is some kind of device to crete a really sharp edged barrier.

Actually does the Knight of one in this continuity have the right to govern an area as his own? If so I would suggest that it is likely Area 1 or 2 if for no reason other than to keep it close to the homeland and his emperor so it saves him the time of commuting. Actually does Bismarck have a noble title himself?

Now that the voting has died down a bit...
You shake your head at the admiral's... characteristic casualness. If she were serving under any other royal...
How many of Lelouch's subordinates have this phrase attached to them, beyond Greta and especially Jaeger? And how much more of the rest of them will be a lost cause if we get Milly as a Stewardship Advisor?
 
I'll be calling the vote in one hour.

One hour to vote! Here's your current tally:

    -[X] Watchtowers: Given that a pirate fleet has already shown up near your island, prompted by external backers or not, you should really start getting an early warning system in place.
