GUYS LISTEN I JUST HAD AN IDEA!

The Nogs, they are spore based lifeforms that we assume are the prototype for the Ork reproduction system, right?

Which means that the Nog spores and the Ork spores are competitors for the same resources. I believe that we can significantly (up to 50%) reduce the Ork's reproductive capabilities by releasing the Nog onto the Ork Worlds.

EDIT: Or it could mean that we just add Nogs to the Ork ecosystem, keeping them well fed. Either way, I believe it's worth an action looking into.

It would more likely mean the second thing, or Nogs would just be more likely to arise than the various Orkoid prey species that normally feed the Orks. It should be remember that Ork spores grow an entire ecosystem, not just Orks themselves.

Yes, the Orks are more than the Orks themselves, they're also the gretchin and the spores and a lot of other things. But the Nogs exist to be food and to reproduce. They would be better at spreading themselves, competing directly with the orkoid ecosystem. At worst, they would be more efficient prey, but a good enough disruption may be able to cut down the rate new orks spawn.

Considering Nogs are everywhere on Avernus and it hasn't stopped the Orks from spreading, I very much doubt it would disrupt the Orks in any way.
 
I like Stormgear's plan, but as it isn't urgent yet I think that I'd rather go with Enjou's idea of letting Surt's proposal fall and rising the issue later. It's both important and non-urgent, why not take some time and spend some Diplomacy actions on sounding out potential variants?

Right now the variant I proposed is possibly the most liberal thing we're going to get. For instance, if we wait and Vanaheim or something puts forward a plan, it'll probably be less forward looking than the one I presented.

[X] Vote for Sigurd's proposal
[X] Vote for Stormgear plan with Durin's alterations
[X] Bring up the problem of the Imperial Bank, specifically Article VIII subsection 2, which stipulates that the Nine Worlds must have 70% of the shares of the Trust's bank and that no other organisation can have more than 3% of the remainder noting the potential economic and equality issues this could present. Ask that a vote be held on this within the next 50 years at a minimum similar to Garp.

Hey anyone voting for the new plan use these or it will not count the other votes.

Side note: Have we looking into how Dragon's Nest is run?
If it is just a military dictatorship then they might be looking at civil issues of their own.
 
@Durin, is there any point to making polity omakes? In the end all they'd be is miscellaneous parts of Dragon's Nest meaning they'll never actually appear in the story and the Awakening is likely to kill most of them anyway.

Partially this...

Keep in mind, its run by what are widely considered angels.

...but also they've likely got a different political model than we do.

The Dragon's Nest is an Astartes Protectorate. I imagine by and large it's a lot simpler than the Trust, in that it's pretty much a feudal system where the Blood Dragons are the primary protectors and can set some ground rules, and in exchange the member systems pay taxes and provide troops while still maintaining a large degree of autonomy outside of certain issues. They've also got the advantage of essentially being an institution that has had nearly a millennia to establish themselves, and I could easily see it being the case that the worlds under their rule by and large couldn't imagine trying to survive without them. I think it's likely that the Blood Dragons also maintain direct command of the naval resources of their polity, rather than allowing for worlds to have fleets of their own.

The Imperial Trust on the other hand is a confederacy of planets that is ruled by a council of founding world Governors and a few organizations, which is fairly strong in terms of what it can do. There's no one central ruler, so there's a lot more politics involved in making decisions. Since it's not just, say, King Sigurd of Asgard making decisions, worlds without a High Council seat are likely to want some kind of say in matters since our system lets multiple worlds have a say in the first place, especially once they become strong enough to rival the core worlds in strength.
