The population of Avernus has grown by an average of 1.34% over the last six years, around average. Currently no regions are in need of additional living space.
Expand Advanced Juve-nat factories- Recently the use of Advanced Juve-Nat by your military has reached the point where it is digging into your reserves. While you still have decades before the reserves start running out it would still be a good idea to expand these factories sooner rather then later, time consuming and expensive as it is.

Two years ago the last of the newly expanded Advanced Juve-Nat Factories began production. With this increase in production rather then quickly depleting your reserves in order to fulfil your obligations you are now producing three times as much Advanced Juve-Nat as you need. Signe estimates that you will be able to trade away half of your total production for the next fifty years. Given that this is enough for a hundred million people you expect to make quite a profit off it.
Wildlife Export Goods- According to Signe there is a large barely tapped market in the sale of parts of Avernite wildlife to the elite of other worlds. This market includes luxury foods and furs for the nobles of the Imperial Trust, interesting materials for the Artisans of Svartalfheim and similar. Signe believes that if she throws from governmental resources into developing this trade it could be a major boon to the economy of Avernus.

Two years ago Signe finished her efforts to improve the export market for Avernite wildlife goods. She tells you that there has been a major expansion of the industry, which now accounts for almost a tenth of your tax revenue. One unexpected benefit of this industry is that it has helped integrate Avernus into the Imperial Trust, both by increased interaction and by helping offworlders actually understand parts of what living on Avernus means. Being told that montsers can come thought he walls is one thing, having a Phase-Tiger fang and being told that the create that has them can come though the walls is another.
Integrated banking Systems- Signe believes that by expanding Avernus' banking systems and more closely integrating them with the other commercial sectors that she will be able to further foster economic growth. This will take a few years but could increase your Thrones income by a third, almost fifteen billion Thrones a year.
Time: 12 years.
Cost: 2,300,000,000 Thrones, 470,000,000 Material, 120,000,000 Metal, 47,000,000 Promethium, 120,000 Advanced Material, 1,400 Exotic Material.

For the last six years Signe has continued to work on Avernus' banking system, which was already one of the most advanced in the Imperial Trust with only the central bank of Midgard and the stock exchange of Muspelheim being more complex. She tells you that all of her initial changes have been implemented, and that over the next two years she will make a few adjustments to what she has done taking reality into account. There is always a difference between theoretical models and what actually happens, and forgetting to account for that was one of the more common errors for the Imperial Administratum, one that you are glad Signe is avoiding.
Illusionary Pine Investigation- Signe wishes to spend a few years looking into using Illusionary Pines in your cities in order to further confuse attackers who make it into your cities. While it is definitely possible to use them like this, she is not sure how effective, or expensive this would be.
Time: 7 years
Chance of Success: 40%
Cost: 380,000,000 Thrones
Reward: Information on how to use Illusionary Pines to strengthen the internal defences of your cities.

Signe is currently conducting an investigation of using Illusionary Pines to strengthen your cities internal defences. So far the investigation is in its early stages, with no real results having being produced.
Administration Assistance- As a result of the recent reforms in the Adeptus Mechanicus it is now possible for secular authorities to oversee the expansion of a Forge-City or the upgrading of its defences at the request of the local leader of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Fabricator-General Scott has requested that the Avernite Administratum oversee the upgrading of the defences of all of the Forge-Cities in the system, and the expansion of Belagost, Annwn and Mag Mell.

For the last two years Signe has been working on expanding the Forge-Hive of Belisama, the second of the Forge-Hives of Taraxandra. The project has only just began, with caverns that have been dug deep into the moon by the hives mines currently being adjusted for habitation.
Thaddeus Expertise: Expand (Storm's End) to Small Hive- Now that the cities of Duat have all been built, or are in the final stages of construction it would be a good idea to expand one of them into a Small Hive. This would provide a centre for the administration and defence of the region and allow for a greater population to build up. It would also be possible to build more small hives in other regions, though not nearly as important.

Three years ago Storm's End, the final city in The Azure Islands was expanded into a Small Hive. The Hive now covers the entirety of the Island of Storm's End, making ground assault impossible. While on most worlds this would still leave it vulnerable to amphibious assault, given the sheer lethality of the seas of Avernus only an aerial assault is practical. As such Storm's End as replaced a large portion of the normal artillery positions with additional AA. As things stand you would condenser Storm's End to quite possible the best defended of Avernus' Hives, despite a lot of competition.

For the last three years Thaddeus has been working to expand the city of Inbu-Hadj in the delta of Duat into a small hive. While there is currently no major population pressure on the region Signe believes that it is only a few decades before there is, and wants to get ahead of the curve.

A bit over a year ago you finished expanding the northernmost city of Avernus, Cassarondo, into a Small Hive. Given its location you designed its newly expanded defences with daemonic assault in mind, taking into account all of the lessons learned in the last daemonic incursion as well as Avernus' other encounters with daemon, both on and offworld. While daemons as a whole are varied enough that you can't account for all of them they do have enough similarities to make designing defences with daemonic assault in mind viable.

With the expansion of Cassarondo into a Small Hive you turned your attention to the last major city in Elysium, Bonud. As things stand you are currently working on digging down so that the new districts of the city can be built under the current city, and the area just around it.
