So, I just looked some stuff up. Apparently, Burns had the sword Excalibur in his mansion. (Or possibly Caliburn, since it's stuck in a rock at the moment.) Thats.... That's gotta be magically powerful, right? Or at least worth a boatload to the Brits.
He also had a rough draft of the American constitution. That's probably worth a few bucks to the goverment.

If we do have it and it's magical I vote to keep it. It'd be nice to arm up the Owl House crew if we can get them back to the Boiling Isles. They can probably talk the Collector down if he's the only problem over there but who knows what's going down in DVV.

Well, see. There's that pesky issue of getting it our if the stone. Which, you may recall was kind of a hassle.
There's other weird stuff in the mansion too. There's a room full of a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters, a bunch of vultures that look like Burns, the human chess board, a theater that constantly has people performing in plays even if noone is watching.... God knows what else.

I looked around and here's some other stuff we also own.
The Springfield Concert hall: Designed by Frank Gehry and built as a 30 million dollar screw you to Shelbyville. Burns bought it and turned it into a (now shut down) prison after it's financial failure due to no one in Springfield besides Marge liking classical music.
Springfield Opera house: I guess they're fine with opera though? 🤷♂️ Granted it apparently only appeared in earlier seasons.
Mr. Burn's Summer mansion.
The rights to the song White Christmas.( I found people mentioning Burns owning it and a quote but not the episode its in.)
I made sure all of this is stuff was owned timeline wise before season 19 because the Simpsons Movie takes place in season 18.

For Flanders, arriving in Danville- Sorry, Doofania, as the big sign on the road to the city entrance said, was an interesting experience.
He wasn't sure what to expect, but in retrospect seeing patrols of smiling giant metal men and literal piles of garden gnomes everywhere was a bit of a softball. From what Ned saw on the news, it started raining ornament figurines out of nowhere just like that, causing untold amounts of chaos and damage to the city.
Even now, it doesn't seem like the damage has been fixed. Piles of gnomes were still being moved by the robotic smiling men, who were focused on cleaning the streets so that traffic could advance.
As he drove through the streets towards the DEI headquarters, the new head of Power Plant PR was amazed by how…normal people were acting. They passed by normbots without even a glance, completely used to them at this point. Other robots who weren't helping the streets were doing other things like helping a granny cross the street, delivering pamphlets to people who walked by, one of them was even manning a Bratwurst stand!
(It kinda reminded you of that Cosmic Frontier thing you got Camila to explain to you; she had been embarrassed but you were curious what it was after she mentioned it.)
For a moment, Flanders wondered why his boss would want to start conversations with the pharmacist out of the blue, seeing how worried he was when they found out that agents from that Syndrome guy and the duck Glomgold were in Springfield.
Oh well, he trusted that Abe knew what he was doing. He asked Flanders to schedule a meeting with DEI to set up a collaboration, and while Flanders had no idea why, he would gladly get the job done! It was just a matter of phoning them, presenting the Power Plant as interested potential business partners with DEI and voila! He had a meeting with the big boss himself.
Soon enough, Flanders arrived at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated…, he still wasn't sure why anyone would name his company "Evil". maybe the owner couldn't come up with a better name?
Doesn't matter, Flanders wasn't one to judge, and as long as this Doofenshmirtz guy liked the name, it was probably fine.
After parking his car, he started walking towards the entrance as he whistled a little tune. Ned was able to observe the building better as got close to it. Uh…funny, looking at it from an angle, it almost looked like a face, he wonders who came up with that design.
As he entered the main Lobby, Flanders found there was a person already waiting for him.
"Hello, Mr. Flanders, we've been expecting you." The young platinum haired woman says with a tone that radiates pure professionalism. "I'm Mirage, a pleasure." She extends her hand for a handshake.
Ned's first impression to Mirage
Result: 18(Roll)+26(Ned Diplomacy)-5(Hidely Ho!)=39! Result: Ned doesn't make a fool out of himself, though he doesn't really impress Mirage. She is a little put off by Flander's…Flander-ism.
Ned wasn't one to deny a good greeting! Putting his best smile, he grabbed her hand with both of his hands, shaking them.
"Well Hi-diddily-ho Miss Mirage!" Ned says with his most expressive smile. "I have-hi to say-ho that, Doofania has been an interestingino placecino! The robots and the roller coaster bus do give it a charmino!"
The platinum haired woman can't help but widen her eyes at the very friendly attitude of Ned, being caught a little off guard. "Oh…I see…the boss will be happy to hear…that." Mirage as she gives a small smile, as she retrieves her hand from the handshake.
She coughs for a moment before resuming her talk."Now if you would be so kind as to follow me, Mr. Doofenshmirtz wants to speak with you." Mirage says as she motions Flanders to follow him as she starts walking further down the hall, toward a set of elevators.
"That sounds swell!" Flanders comments as he flashes another smile. "I do have to say, we are quite happy that you guys agreed to the meeting so quickly!" He continues talking as he keeps up with her. "We kind of expected to have to go through more hops and jumps to be able to meet the big cheese himself!"
"I can understand the feeling…" Mirage gives a small chuckle as she continues walking. "Imagine my boss' surprise when I informed him that an unknown company reached out to have a meeting with him…"
Doof and Mirage Intrigue Check:
Find out information about The company and the Owner
DC: 60(Power Plant)/80(The Owner)
Result: 59(Roll)+14(Doof Intrigue)+30(Mirage)+3(Loyalty)=106
Success! Result: Doof managed to find information about the Power Plant, who it's previous owner was and information on Abe!
"Color us surprised when we checked on Old Abe's Family Emporium and found out it went by another name before…" Mirage gives Ned a side glance as she continues walking, the pair almost reaching the elevator. "Becoming president of an entire company through a poker game sounds like quite the story."
"Oh yeah, My bossesino is really something!" Flanders replies happily. "Might not look like it, but the old man really does want to help the town, and I reckon he's got some big things planned!"
The Pair finally reach the end of the hallway, arriving at a set of elevators and Mirage presses a button, calling the machine to come pick them up.
Seeing a chance, Flanders took the opportunity to ask a question he had on his mind.
Flanders contested Diplomacy Check against Mirage:
Flanders
Result: 89(Roll)+26(Flanders Diplomacy)-5(Hidely Ho!)=110!
Vs
Mirage
Result: 3(Roll)+25(Mirage)=28
Flander's Critical success!
Result: Flanders managed to keep the conversation going with Mirage, managing to gleam out more information about her and Doof.
"So…Miss Mirage…" Flanders starts as both of them enter the elevator. "If you don't mind me asking, how is it? Working here at DEI? Is it as…" Brief Flashbacks of encountering Zombie Kaiser WIllhelm II and the recent Birthday Bandit bout run through Flanders mind. "Exciting as it is with my boss and power plant?" He ask with curiosity as the elevator rises, each second bringing him closer to his meeting with the president of DEI.
"Exciting would be the word to use." Mirage begins, an uncertain tone in her voice, as if she wasn't sure if she should continue. "There are times where things stay relatively quiet…but it's never long until interesting things happen…for good and for ill." Mirage brushes a stand of hair from her face.
"Oh right! I remember reading about something related to…clown clothing?" Flanders comments, as the memory pops to mind. "That was quite the story to read about…" He crosses his arms, deep in thought.
"You can thank Mr. Doofenshmirtz for that." Mirage sighs as she shakes her head. "He has…interesting ideas for his inventions, and while he tries his best they don't always end up working as expected." She rubs her eyes for a moment.
"Really? Was the gnome thing another one of his ideas? How did he come up with that?"
"He just comes up with them; either something inspires him to do it, or he comes up with it at the spot… which makes it hard to prepare for, sometimes"
"Why does he keep doing that then? From what I can tell, it seems to make some big messes." Flanders asks, interested in learning a bit more about this Doofenshmirtz.
"Not always." Mirage takes a moment to speak, trying to find the right words. "It's his craft and for better or for worse, he doesn't seem to be ready to stop anytime soon." She shakes her head. before continuing.
"My boss…Doofenshmirtz, is trying to do something with what he has managed to achieve…and while it may seem he has no direction, I think he is trying to do good…in his own weird way." Mirage finishes as a loud beep could be heard, signaling that they were arriving at the chosen floor. "At least, I hope so…"Mirage mutters the last part so low, that Flanders is barely able to hear it.
Seemed like it was time to meet Mr. Doofenshmirtz himself, Flanders, was really curious how the meeting would go.
"Ahhh, Ned Flanders, the Power Plant Guy! I have been EXPECTING YOU!!!" A voice shouts out as the sound of lighting and thunder strikes out, filling the office.
Ned was currently sitting in front of the one and only Heinz Doofenshmirtz and he had to be honest…he wasn't sure what to expect. At the very least, this Doofenshmirtz guy did have the appearance of a pharmacist…
Oh well, nothing left to do but give a big smile and Introduce himself.
Ned first impression to Doofenshmirtz
Result: 97(Roll)+26(Ned Diplomacy)+5(Hidely Ho!)+20(Bonus from crit)=148! Result: Ned has made an incredible first impression on the mind of Heinz Doofenshmirtz…for better or for worse.
Putting his best smile forward, Ned offered his hand to Doofenshmirtz for a handshake. "Yep Hi ho! That's me! Ned Flanders! Headino of the Pr department of Old Abe's Family Emporium! in the name of the company, I want to thank you for allowing this meeting." Ned figured out sincerity was the best thing to do.
"Oh it's nothing." Doofenshmirtz makes a small dismissing motion as he accepts the handshake with gusto.
As both shake hands, Flanders can't help but comment. "Wow, you have quite a strong grip here, Dooferino." Flanders remarks as he feels the iron grip of Heinz. "You must have been visiting the gym a lot!"
"This? Pff, nah it's because of my titanium prosthetics." Doofenshmirtz knocks on one of his arms and a loud metallic sound can be heard.
"Ar-are your arms metal?" Flanders asks surprised. "How did you do that?"
"Oh it's was quite simple! Had a few accidents in the past and well…I didn't trust some run of the mill stuff. I'm an EVIL scientist! I create my own stuff!" The ruler of Doofania says proudly.
"Those are some mighty fine creations you have there buckarino!" Flanders remarks. "Have you ever thought of selling them?"
"What, these old things? I don't see the point." Doofenshmirtz shrugs. "They only have like 5 strength settings and a faulty wifi hotspot. Plus sometimes I recalibrate the reflexs to fast and it gives me a terrible headache!" Doofenshmirtz complains, gestuculating wildly as he walks to his lab's patio. "Ugh, and don't get me started on when it rains!" He says, yelling at the sky.
"I cant imagine anyone else putting up with all the hassel." Behind Doofenshmirtz, Flanders could see Mirage shaking her head in annoyance.
"...well it's still a really surprising invention, same as your robots and the roller coaster thing on the streets!" Flanders comments. "I really like what you've done with the city!"
"Awww, you're making me blush." Doof gushes as he rubs the back of his head with a little smile. "Just doing my job as the ruler of this place!" He responds happily.
"Anywho! What can I do today for one of my precious citizens of Doofania?" Said ruler asks excitedly.
"Umm…you mean us?" Flanders asks for a bit of loss by what Heinz was saying..
"Of course! Mirage and I checked and Springfield is juuuust right on the edge of Doofania's territory! That means you are part of the greatness that is my nation!" Doof says proudly. "That's how it works." He nods to himself, certain in his ironclad logic.
Flander Diplomacy Check:
Try to Dissuade Doof of that Notion:
DC 300
Result: 28(Roll)+26(Flanders Diplomacy)+5(Hidely Ho!)= 59!
SUPER CRITICAL FAILURE!
Result: Flanders goes along with this. No chance of correcting Doof.
Flander opens his mouth to comment on that, but seeing Mirage shake her head as if to say "Don't even try" convinces him not to waste his time.
"Very…well." Flanders says, wanting to move along. "I came here cause my Boss wanted to see if you would be interested in working on some ideas he had?"
"Oh sure! Show them to me! Let's see what we can do!" Doofenshmirtz says proudly as Flanders, Mirage and Doofenshmirtz start talking about the first collaboration between their companies.
For better or for worse, this was the start of something great…probably.
RESULT: Flanders has made contact with DEI and had a really good positive contact with Doofenshmirtz. Collaboration action unlocked for next turn! Here are the following Collaborations, you can choose any of them and can go along with the rewards outlined (DEI's proposal) or can choose that action but also choose to do a contested diplo contest (Abe and flanders vs Doof and Mirage) to see if your counter offer is successful or not! If it fails you will go with the default option.
Also as an aside, If next turn you guys choose Flanders to do the collaboration action, he will get a +10 to the roll! His chemistry with Doof is really good!
Collaboration Actions! (Choose one please!)
[ ] Build a Power Plant on Danvi-DOOFANIA Stewardship DC 120:

And then I'll finally show Shego that Doofania is better then drakktech will ever be!

[ ] Pave ALL of Doofania in GOLD! (Cost 20 Income)
logically we cannot afford it, even if we are only paying 5 income, but i am voting for that on the funnies alone, as logic has left the building since i think its hilarious
It looks like if we're doing a stewardship thing Flanders would have the highest modifier, and if we're doing a learning thing Frink does. (this is accounting for Flander's +10 bonus for being involved in the collab.)

...daaaamn, Neddie really pulled his weight this interlude and then some - good work, Minion-ino^^
Of the possible collabs, I am currently favoring De-Radifying, Nuclear Neotypes and (especially if we do end up buying the Krusty show next turn) Doof TV - for the two "Nuclear" picks, I´d like for us to get Equal recognition since we did lay out the intellectual groundwork for them already ("credit where credit´s due" and all that)

[ ] Create more content for DOOF TV, could be especially good if we buy both (-1 income total) and go for the put more media on doof tv counter offer, that would likely get us a lot of passive income gain from the two, and krusty as an diplo hero (which we desperately need more of)
To clarify how collabs work, Doof will assign one of his hero units to the action we choose as well right? So it'll be Abe and our hero's score plus Doof and his hero's score?
Since Doof stats will be used this action may be more worthy since we have the possibility to earn income and togheter with Fink they come ahort work of it.

Odds are doof has around 40+ learning, + whatever hero he assigns (lovemuffin?) + frink (35 learning) can probably get pretty close (90ish for my guess, needing an 40ish roll to succeed), but if we take the steel one i think we should go for the counter offer to receive the same level of recognition as DEI

This level of recognization may not be a good idea since this will attract the attention of other Kings and we are not strong enough to halt they emproachment against us.
So DEI will have most of the fame while we have a lot of money. I think this os for the best in my opnion.

I doubt it will hit us all that hard if we do, we will certainly get more attention (both positive and negative) but odds are the other kings wont really care all that much, drakken would be more likely to turn our way (see Drew Simpson) which might bring drakktechs attention (more likely positive then negative however) but other then that its unlikely any get involved just from this, at least not to an degree to actually worry about.
To be honest I'm inclined towards either building a plant for them or putting content on Doof TV. We've been wanting to buy either Itchy and Scratchy or Krusty's shows for a while now, and now we'll get the chance to make money off of them even faster.
Currently leaning towards I & S, since we know buying them is on a timer that may be getting closer to running out
Plus we've got like +20 to buying the toons in omake bonuses, might as well put them to good use!
I wouldn't say no to the counteroffer about getting the chance to put more content on there in the future as well. If we pass great, and if we fail we're not really much worse off
Another advanatge will be that De-Rasify Steel will improved detecrion equipment in our Power Plant therefore maybe can lower even more the chnaces of nuclear spillage and so on.
I kinfa want to fix Springfield Power Plant first before starting to branch out since it will be used as base model for the other Nuclear Power Plants.
