The Kingdom of High Ishtahnos
By the Light of the Sun, His Royal Highness, John IV, High King of Ishtahnos
First Minister Johnathon Royston Rageclaw
2004-2006 IR, 2037-2039 IC

Actions:
1: [Diplomacy] Attend the Wedding of Lord of Fire Artavasdes II and Princess Monite Ebonne.
-Pay one treasure to the Imperial Court as tax.
The High King and two of his three children travel to Sansar, a wretched hell of humidity, to attend a delightful wedding. Awkward conversations with certain Sansarite nobles are avoided and Artavasdes and Monite are gifted a barrel of aged whisky, matching platinum pocket watches, a few Ishtahn books about plants and animals with splendid illustrations and two nightmares for the purpose of romantic rides through the countryside.
There's also a meeting between state officials and Imperial representatives about arranging for the payment of taxes in gold coins and treasury notes, but that's less important.

2: [Diplomacy] Attempt to press a confederation claim to Region 67. Failure.
Negotiations grind to a halt while bureaucratic agencies across the land of Chorb scramble to provide reports necessary for the minutiae of a successful and prosperous integration. The issue of parliamentary constituencies and appropriate representation for minority groups promises to delay proceedings for many years.
 
3: [Military] Raise one ground unit.
With the outbreak of hostilities against Basu-Rahman and attacks on Ishtahnos by the Twilight League, further military investment is considered of paramount importance in preparation for further operations.
 
4: [Military] Deploy two ground units to assist in the Soom Clan's invasion of Region 55. They will take a route of being dropped off in Region 74 and complete the rest of the journey over land to avoid becoming embroiled in space warfare.
The recent actions of Basu-Rahman infuriate the people of Ishtahnos and a military action is declared as necessary to ensure such insults cease. Though the Antithotron and his people are not enemies of the Ishtahn, they unfortunately stand between them and justice and so the Royal Army is deployed, the riders of Ishtahnos joining alongside the warwheels of Khassia to lend their fierce strength to the subjugation of the greenlands in the name of the Soom-Clan and the destruction of Basu-Rahman.
 
5: [Economy] Attempt to buyout TP2 in Region 78 for Void Spice. Failure.
Unfortunately the Ishtahn are not masters of commerce and despite travelling far to the scattered worlds of Mekhala, they are unable to sway the spice merchants of the Divine Stars. Perhaps the gifts they brought were insufficient to grease the wheels of negotiations, perhaps the goods they offered in exchange were considered lacklustre, perhaps they accidentally insulted the locals through cultural misunderstandings. The end result is the same however and the Ishtahn Ministry of Trade's delegation returns home without anything more than a few free samples.

Nonactions:
Protect against the sack of TP1 in Region 65 with one unit.
The Royal Armour is surprised at the Vesperite attack in response to their diplomatic objections against Vesperite expansion, but not so surprised they are caught with their proverbial pants down. Border outriders supplemented by local shrieval forces and clan militias respond quickly and leverage their superior knowledge of the local terrain to harry and delay the would be Vesperite cattle rustlers until forces left in reserve can arrive and send them packing. Any captured raiders are provided food and medical care until their safe return can be arranged.
 
Accept the Pan-Tekhum Worker's and Trader's Union's request to be allowed to inspect working conditions.
Additional oversight cannot go amiss in ensuring everything is done properly and so the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Justice gladly comply, promising their full support to the WTU's inspections. After all, how often do you get the opportunity of a free independent audit of safety practices? Ishtahn inspectors could be missing things obvious to an outsider after all and a safe workplace is a productive workplace and happy and prosperous workers are productive workers. The Ministry of Finance is particularly ecstatic given the WTU is doing it FOR FREE, at least they were until the Ministry of Industry offered to help cover the WTU's expenses.
 
The Ishtahn subscribe to Snake News!
The Kingdom is always happy to support competition in the media industry and given they now have all this spare studio equipment (see News and Rumours) they give some to Snake News. This surely won't end in disaster.
 
News and Rumours

Stuff and things. Aside from important declarations and letters this will probably have to be delayed until next round, sorry.

Legal proceedings are brought against the Basu-Rahman Group for violating Ishtahn law regarding advertising standards and, more seriously, promotion of slavery. Across the Kingdom BRG assets are seized and local executives and high level managerial staff placed under house arrest pending investigations into their personal culpability. With the evidence so widely broadcast it's not hard for the prosecution to secure a judgement and defences of 'it was just a joke' are not accepted.
The Basu-Rahman Group is found guilty of promotion of slavery and ordered to pay an exorbitant fine. Until such time as the fine is paid their broadcasting license is rescinded and every day they continue to broadcast to the Kingdom of High Ishtahnos the fine is increased by one percent compounding. Ultimately it is concluded that Basu-Rahman's head Veehran office is responsible for this oversight and the Royal Army is dispatched to ensure that whosoever replaces them does not dare to make a similar mistake.

In response to Vesperite aggression against the Land of Wizards (Region 67) the Ishtahn issue a statement indicating their intention to defend the region against such an attack and they offer their support to the Bafatis Dynasty on this issue. More pressingly, a short confidential letter is delivered to the Twilight League regarding their recent aggression against Ishtahnos, the contents of which are kept secret from all but the highest echelons on the Ishtahn government.

A sealed letter on parchment bearing the seal of High King John IV arrives in Narsai to be hand delivered directly to the Iron Monarch by a heavily armed Ishtahn messenger who arrives on nightmare back. Despite being armed he is very respectful and given he came alone the weapons were likely to deter unscrupulous individuals along the way. The letter is written twice, side by side, first on the left in beautiful Ishtahn handwriting, likely that of the High King himself, and second on the right in a different hand in the Narsai Dialect, likely supplied by a secretary.
