[X]Advise that the deal be taken. (+1 Favorability to the Ministry of Integrity, -1 Favorability to Emerald Seas Nobility. Additional Ministry Influence on Embassy)
With the 4 judge panel system especially, we can give 1 Imperial judge position to the Capital, if the Emerald Seas keeps the other 1.
No, this isn't free and might cause some issues later, but the Ministry of Integrity was never going to ask us something that didn't have some negatives. If we keep looking for some perfect way to appease them without it actually costing as anything, then we are going to keep looking forever, while the MoI keeps getting more pissed at us.
And this keeps the cost internal on the Imperial side, not something we have to try to make the White Sky accept. To me, that's a big plus.
