I'm not really interested in trying to sort out the hero roster, more to plot out the underlying level of economic assets and so on that they have available.

I'm not really interested in trying to sort out the hero roster, more to plot out the underlying level of economic assets and so on that they have available. Like, what's there, what do they have to work with in broad material terms, and so on.
It looks like you accidentally created a second post instead of editing the original. Insofar as the hero roster is concerned, Maldonia doesn't really have one at this moment? It was more to provide you a list of who is there so that you can account for their presence and actions.
Anyway, that would be:
Colonel Jean Staquait, late of the French Foreign Legion and currently an officer in the Maldonian Army.
Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, German general in East Africa and currently a captain in the Maldonian Navy.
Renard Dumont, Hooft and Hugo, Remy Baudoin, and Albert Narracott, five foreigners who are in the process of building a conglomerate.
And of course Naveen and Tiana, Tiana's mom, and her friend Charlotte.
Edit: And Varian, can't forget about him. Although he's leaving as soon as he is able for Atlantis.

Whatever else you plan, for the love of god, do not top Maleficent's little black dragon. Obvious advice is obvious, I know, but our situation is complicated enough without getting her attention.

I am honestly curious what you think you guys could do to top that?
A baby version of Abu? The squeaky Sirrush toy?
Also, while we're on the topic, did she really give the baby a Night Fury, or was that just my imagination?

Well... if you want to make absolutely and utterly sure that a gift can't be topped, you can't just give any old species of dragon, can you?
Maldonia, the Pirates, and whoever is in charge of Spain atm. With a slice of influence from Syracuse and the other Magna Graecia city-states.
...I actually have no idea as to who controls Spain right now. Maybe the Spanish empire, since they did sent Cortez to the New World?
Oh, we absolutely can top a baby Night Fury. Baby Foreverwing, anybody?
(Don't worry, I don't actually suggest giving away our version of Elliot.)

Hmmm... okay, I'm issuing an omake challenge. The reactions of Eudora and Charlotte (along with any other characters that you believe would fit the scene) to the newborn Princess, and then Tiana and Naveen revealing her name. Followed by dealing with Tiana deciding that if anyone was cooking dinner for her baby's first day it would be her.
Rewards for the best omake as per my judgement will be a choice of a bonus to a Diplomatic action involving Maldonia of the winner's choice, or an XP award. Other entries will also be considered for XP awards albeit not to the same level as the winner.

If we figure out a way to top a childhood dragon companion then I'd say we deserve to out do Maleficent.
That being said, I would prefer to not get in a Gift Off with a Fey Queen. That would be very expensive.

Only thing I can think of is capturing Facilier and handing him over gift wrapped, freeing the queens hometown, and handing them the villain who took it over, would top even a dragon.

So let's say 500 Gold worth of Coffee and Various Food Stuffs, 300 Gold worth of Enhancing Medical Herbs, Assorted Plushes, and a Magical Built-To-Be-Expanded Crib with matching Blanket and Sheets?
Any other suggestions?

Hm, is Naveen the reigning monarch, or the crown prince? Is his dad still in charge, in other words?
Interestingly, his age roughly lines up with the widely well regarded Moroccan monarch Mohamed V (born 1909)...
Besides, that's not a gift for the baby, that's a gift for the queen.

I think that Maleficient might decide that such a gift was... well chosen, but not impressive. Her ego might not force her to take it as an insult?

It's also a gift for the baby, after all, the baby would want to visit their mothers place of birth at some point wouldn't they?

He's Crown Prince. His father is still king. Naveen also has a younger brother; age 8, whom has declared that Charlotte is the prettiest woman he ever met and is thus going to marry her someday.

Toping that is irrelevant, just the act of attempting is enough to get draged im malificent's game.

At the same time he's not the most genre savvy/brightest bulb in the box. Sure that situation might have been as he saw for a while, but relations obviously soured over time. Honestly it's why I've always 'got' Disney Hades's position. Stuck with a job that is necessary but obviously not regarded well at all by by anyone, more or less isolated (only time he ever seemed to have a chance to interact with his peers was when he was summoned to Olympus) and when he does go, Zeus starts cracking stupid jokes at his expense that results in everyone laughing at him. Few centuries of that and I'd want to burn the world down too.

The mental tone I'm getting and what's being said is making me think that these two could be Hiccup and Daggur.
Especially when we take EGHC's result into consideration.

- [][Martial] Engines of War
The lack of siege engines is understandable due to the terrain around Ababwa; but it probably wouldn't be amiss to perhaps have a few in your arsenal just in case. Find an engineer to construct some using the iron-hard timber harvested from the Forest.
DC: 70
Cost: 9,000 Gold; Upkeep cost of 500 gold per turn
- [][Stewardship] More Hands on the Wheels
Sinbad needs to start delegating soon; the massive amount of land that Ababwa has accumulated so quickly means that there are hundreds of different potential ways to make more money for the kingdom, but he's unable to stop and pursue them thanks to having to focus on other issues.
DC: 100
Cost: 2,000 Gold, 500 Gold Upkeep per turn after
Hero: Helga
-[][Diplomacy] Fit for a Prince(ss)?
The Maldonian Crown Prince and his wife are expecting their first child. Sending an appropriate gift to celebrate the occasion will be a good gesture on the part of Ababwa and show that we're looking to be friends. From the information that has leaked out of the kingdom, Princess Tiana is very fond of cooking and quite skilled as well as very practical. A large supply of hard-to-get spices and ingredients sourced through Xiang-Wu and India would likely make an appropriate gift while still being of actual use to the soon-to-expand family. Improves relationship between Maldonia and Ababwa

Friends help friends, but sometimes a friend needs more help than you can give them as a friend. But if they joined you as a vassal they'd probably be able to get the help they needed. Attempts to convince the leadership of a friendly satrap to join as a protectorate under Ababwa's banner. Sets up a trade office, a diplomatic outpost, inserts spies and scouts the place for any resources that they may not have realized. Gains variable income, resources and possibly Hero characters.

Hero: Iago
-[][Learning] Untapped Market
A missive has arrived from the far north, from a man known as Viggo Grimborn. He is apparently in the business of capturing dragons, and was pointed in your direction by the Elite Global Hunstmen's Club. He's interested in possibly selling dragons to you rather than to Bludvist, and seems very interested in the concept of a menagerie. Frosting of course is over the moon at the idea. Send someone up north to see what Viggo has to offer, and what he's asking for them. Unlocks other opportunities.

- [][Learning] Getting a Leg Up
Chiron's prosthetic leg is a marvel, and one that, if developed correctly, could very well assist many who have lost limbs. It will require hiring engineers to work with the doctors in order to figure out the right mechanics and the best compromise between limb functionality and structural integrity. Allows for the construction of advanced prosthetics for those that have lost limbs. (Think Hiccup's leg from How to Train Your Dragon).

The example provided by Leah and Cabe of the potion of invisibility had left quite the impression. Even if they were short-lived they could make for a powerful tool in the hands of your army's scouts... or the agents of Haroud's network. Commission as large a batch of the potions to be made as possible. Reduces DCs for scouting and intelligence gathering actions.

Tai Lung seems desperate for some mental and spiritual equilibrium. As such he's working hard on achieving it through a combination of meditation and going slowly through martial art forms. They do seem to help him control his temper... Suppresses Neverchosen trait for the next turn.
DC: 40
- [][Selous Personal] Linguistic Exercises
While his Zulu and Swahili are excellent, Selous' Arabic is barely passable. Best to remedy this is he intends to stay here for any length of time, especially if he doesn't want to constantly need to ask for someone to interpret for him.
Learning DC: 70
Price: 33,000 gold. Yeesh...Still, if we pull it off, that's 2 Stewardship actions and correspondingly more funds to bring in, and we might see an income boost from Nemo, the prosthetics action, and reaching out to Viggo, as well as bringing in the Eastern Satraps peacefully. I want to take the two language-learning actions since we have GM confirmation that they'll synchronize and boost their odds of success. And I'm happy to put Tai Lung on an action, but sans that he really could use some Inner Peace. Maybe the Eastern Satraps action? He'll offer a +11 bonus, which isn't much, but it has the side-effect of raising his profile, establishing him as someone trustworthy, and may reduce the DC of his Wandering Master personal.
Also, after talking with Jones, I'm 90% sure that the Nemo action will have a lowered DC.
