Man, if only Bumi was 50 years younger, he'd crush that whipersnapper Ozai. Unfortunately, by the time he came to the throne he had a terrible back from all the carrying he had to do.
That option is in the Fire Lord Zuko crusader kings quest.

Isn't it suppose to be Minister of Public Wellbeing not Minister of Public Benefits?

We should probably get rid of the couple. Removing the Turbo-Racists both secures our own position (removes the people most likely to work against us) and is a good signal to the colonies and Earth Kingdom about our intentions for peace. Yes, we've spent a century crushing your faces into the ground, but Zuko's very first official act was firing the guys who did it. Isn't that nice of him? The Minister of Industry isn't a bad choice, as it kneecaps him on gaining any further gold and influence, but he's less of a threat to Namiko personally and I can't imagine him lasting longer in his position once Zuko catches wind of his graft. Formally removing him for corruption and beginning legal action against him is probably a better idea than throwing him out for being annoying.
As for who to talk to, they're all good choices. We'll probably want to know what Qin just remembered, we'll want to make sure Finance is onside for the coming massive economic realignment, and we'll need to make sure the army doesn't rise up in revolt upon learning the new Fire Lord is ordering them to surrender a war they are handily winning.

Qin almost certainly remembered that everyone left Azula chained to a post in the confusion.
Edit: I wish to formally apologize, I was incorrect. Azula was not left chained to a post. She was left chained to a grate

To play devil's advocate for keeping the phrenologist on... he's the least actively harmful- and it's really important that the Imperial Household presents an image of strength. The Colonist booting out the most racist duo makes sense, it's just a political power struggle. The seemingly harmless family physician? Who helped birth the Fire Lord? It *looks* like childish lashing out. I mean, the guy is so actively unthreatening *Ozai* pretty much unconditionally trusted him. Do we want to risk Zuko coming across as less trusting and more paranoid than Ozai of all people? It's something our enemies can easily spin to shape the narrative erven if the doctor himself isn't a threat.

I mean, given his past, the short few years between his son's death and Zuko's scarring seem likely.
[X] Minister Aikawa, seemingly still considering himself in the favor of the Fire Lord given his role in the boy's birth, took that opportunity to comment on her skull shape and its implications for her ability to govern. The vocabulary used made it somewhat difficult to understand what exactly he was trying to communicate, though the Fire Lord clearly took it poorly, ordering him dismissed: the elderly doctor left without much of a fuss, seeming more sad about the matter than anything else, but his departure is an all-too-public show of weakness within the imperial household.
A show of weakness is a Zuko problem and we can earn favor by helping him navigate it.
[X] Minister Shu lingered in the room, casting an appraising eye over the young chancellor before seeming to sigh, approaching her with obvious reticence. While she was not thrilled by the direction things seemed to be heading, the woman was quite motivated to ensure that they were on the same page when it came to the economic realities of peace.
The Economic adjustment of the fire nation is going to be the major issue of fire lord Zuzu's reign. We need this heads up more than anything else.
The bulletin votes are kind of a pain to copy. Quotes would work better.
Getting rid of two ministers that deal with colonies (if I recall correctly) will be quite useful for the short-term issue of dealing with peace treaty; as for who to talk after the meeting, I think that the old general is most opportune given that he is in position to convince him about zuko's decision, strike iron while it is hot, if we get him on our side a lot of people who he mentored are less likely to go to possible rebelions.
Yeah, the Yamahas feel like a they would be a good pick even if it was just one. They're in areas that are important, they're not just sycophants but True Believers who wouldn't just change their story because the new Boss doesn't like it. (The wife does fall under the 'sycophant' category)
Hmm, gonna have trouble with that Broadsheet though. Going to rile up some population against us.
And yeah, agreeing that while Mistress Shu is important, since priority one is 'end the war' we should try to talk to the man and get him on side to do that in a way that doesn't sting the military too much.

As a way of highlighting why we need minster Shu on our side, I direct you too the situation report list, where the economy has Red situations to deal with equal to every other category. With half our biggest problems being economic in nature, we need this woman cooperating with us.
Vote for Shu.
Don't vote for Zuko to make an enemy of the industrialist. If he starts selling fire nation metal ships to pirates he can shoot peace in the foot.
Voting is open btw
[X] Lord and Lady Yamaha reacted poorly to the news that a 'half-breed' would be taking the helm, both of them erupting with anger and shouting invectives. The Fire Lord, suitably incensed by the situation, shouted them down in kind before finally ordering them tossed out of the palace by the Royal Procession, the married couple having to be hauled out of the council chambers by the masked firebenders as they hurled abuse at the new sovereign. While their removal from the council meetings will certainly make things calmer, Namiko can't help but be concerned about what they'll get up to outside of it…
[X] Minister Amari remained in his chair, the ancient general seemingly struck by a bout of tiredness as he gazed about the room almost morosely. If she hadn't known any better, the man would have almost appeared lost, the once venerable colossus of war reduced to a relic of an age since passed, one that had endured beyond the things that gave it purpose.

Before we can worry about the economic prospects of the nation we need to make we control the nation
So maybe military first ?

Also uh we kind of need a physician right about now with our sister and all. Just saying it would not be wise to screw him over. Personally, I'd just arrest the lord and lady commander of the Black Shirts. There an active threat, and we can justify it on there insult to the Imperial presence.

Military is the best off of the firenations five ministries. It requires the least amount of work, so the cooperation of an individual from it is
The military is fine and has over a century of indoctrination towards absolute loyalty to the fire lord. We aren't going to run into any issues with them, as demonstrated by the lack of problems in the situation report. By comparison half of our worst problems are in economy, and make up ⅝ of it's situations. If there is anything we need an immediate ally in, it's the ministry of finance.

It gets rid of some of the outright rascists and opens up two ministries for replacements.
[X] Minister Qin had paused for a moment as he went to leave, looking as though he was trying desperately to remember something important that had slipped his mind. After a moment of concentration, the man paled and began speed walking towards the courtyard in a close but not ultimately imperfect approximation of a dignified pace.
Yeah, we probably need to do something about Azula quickly.

That guy is absolutely NOT the kind of person you want treating Azula, he'll be telling her that Katara's brutish jawline was the reason she lost her fight to the water-tribe harlot.

If Azula's skull is so superior to Katara's, why did she not use it to beat the Waterbender to death? Checkmate phrenologists.

Quite frankly, I don't think Azula needs any help in regards to bigotry but she does need a Physician and he is the man on hand who has been treating her from infancy to now, if anyone knows how to get her to calm down and let her get treated, he is probably the man.
