Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them.Very well. The actions take place. Ten spies are covertly sent into Scullia, meanwhile four diplomats are sent to Kara Stia.
But, not all is well. Kara Stia’s diplomats make something clear: If they’re gonna side with you over Scullia, then you gotta do something important for them.
See, within Kara Stia is the small cult of Rodenon. Their sitting pope, Kuss Weatherbee, is a heavily controversial figure, claiming that his followers must be treated with more respect than any other person. This has caused many Kara Stians to clash with Rodenon.
Due to the Rodenon’s disagreement with the public, Weatherbee has publically stated that Kara Stia is not the homeland of the Rodenon, and that they must leave in mass exodus to a new, welcoming home, cursing Kara Stia to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
The diplomats wish for you to deal with Rodenon in someway. Be it accepting them into your gates, assassinating Weatherbee, or finding some alternative solution.
Meanwhile, in Scullia, seven of your spies have went missing, and two have returned. The spies, Mr. Hinx and Mr. Doppler, claim that they investigated Scullia from head to toe, and found that the government are fair leaders, and that the revolutionaries are evil men that believe they are a higher breed than other Scullians.
The last remaining spy? Well, that’d be Mr. Ocean. Mr. Ocean’s Head was shipped to a national Tridentian library, on top of a picture of the Scullian President, President Georgio, sat at a dinner table, with roast duck and crab.
The Scullian government has denied its validity.
Well, Council. What shall you do?
HuzzahSkullhead prezident eat duck? Keel de bassted. Only haff joking, dont keel if leeding to war.
We haz dronez? We spy wid drones. And we seek justice for keeled and meesing spies.
I tink war eez... Yoduck say inevitable, word too big for deese duck. If war being, we develop atomic bomb, do like Japan, BOOM!
I peesful duck, but maybe deese we muzt do, no?
Who are the ones that we kept in charge? Killers, thieves, and lawyers. God's away, god's away, god's away on business... business."Not the crabs!"
"Perhaps you're right, Mr. Duck, but we should keep the development of any weapons covert. Now that Scullia knows we sent spies, they may try to do the same."
"As for Weatherbee... I'm not sure. He sounds like a very influential figure, I doubt an assassination attempt would even succeed."
Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them."Kakistan is next to our nation, right? Are we on good terms with them?"
Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them."We may need their help if things get rough. We still have diplomats we can send, right? If so, I say we send some to Kakistan to discuss the tense circumstances. Who knows, maybe they need help with something that we can solve too."
"As for this Weatherbee fellow... like I said, I don't know if assassination would be best, but I don't trust him enough to welcome him here. Can't we simply arrest him? Or has he done nothing explicitly illegal... yet?"
Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them.(Cambrius speaks up, grim-faced.)
I propose we have the two spies that returned placed under covert surveillance. By all means, call me paranoid, but considering the fates that are likely to have befallen the missing seven, and the fate confirmed on Spy Ocean, it is wholly possible they have been compromised.
While on the subject of the spies, I advise we exercise caution in sending in drones. While they would allow us to gather intelligence without risking any further spies, some very pointed questions may begin being asked if they are detected or destroyed over Scullian territory. We cannot risk sending in human spies. Knowing Scullia, they'll probably try and break any they capture for information on us.
As for Weatherbee, I advise integration, with assassination as a backup plan. If we allow him and his little cult into our country, it will solve the diplomatic problem we have at present. If negotiations start turning sour due to his preaching, have him and the leadership of his cult terminated. That way, we both aid our ally and protect ourselves.
(Eyes sweep over to the newest council member)
Welcome, Councillor Maximus. I have read your file. Admirable, in wanting peace, but it may not always be an option.
Those poor bastards won't know what hit 'em when the grey geese fly.Firstly, it should be noted that you are already aligned with the States of Bors, as you are allied with your neighbor Ersaz, which is a colony of the States of Bors.
The States of Bors and Lethrade disagree over economics. The Bors let businesses and people have complete control over their finances, while the Lethradi keep fincances equally spread amongst the people. The previous security council of our nation has made our economy closer to the Bors’, however the Seven Men, (AKA the terrorist group that killed the former council), wish for an economy closer to Lethrade.

HuzzahHold on just a second, Mr. Duck. I'm getting very concerned too, and as much as I want to just scuttle away, our country needs us. We've got to stick together, no matter what happens.
I'm inclined to agree with Cambrius' suggestion of letting Weatherbee in, but I wonder... will our enemies or other nations gain a negative view of us for supporting him? Will it be worth it?
Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them.I concur, Councilman Duck. As it stands, we are far too vulnerable. We will hardly be able to serve Tridentia should we be slain by the Seven Men. Or Scullian assassins. Or people dissatisfied with our rule. Or all of the former. I support Councilman Duck's suggestion for tightened security.
(Turns to Security Foreman Blsh.)
If possible, can you clarify the range of security measures we have available, Security Foreman?
Those poor bastards won't know what hit 'em when the grey geese fly.Approximately one twentieth of our country works for the military, and we have the armaments to keep them able to fight.
We have a relatively strong air force, and we have the ability to develop bombs with a 10 meter radius.
Our strongest force of military is our Navy. We have over 1,000 working vessels as we speak, with at least 25 working on each one. It is the strongest navy in the area, thought Lethrade and the States of Bors are both monumentally stronger.
Is this to your satisfaction?
Huzzah

(Cambrius leans forwards, a thoughtful look on his face.)
I agree with sending diplomats to Kara Stia. Careful words and manipulation of key figures may strengthen our ties to them. I would advise against major military industrialisation. We have very little knowledge as to our country's feelings on a possible war, or of Scullia's military capacity. The last thing we need at the moment is to give Scullia a justification, however flimsy, to paint us as aggressors. Starting militarisation of industry? They'd start bellowing from the rooftops about us gearing up for war. That may even be enough to sway Kara Stia to their side, or at least cause them to lessen ties to us.
I propose we try to find out more details about the alleged atrocities of Scullia. If nothing else, they may prove to be powerful leverage at the negotiations table. Additionally, I would advise we try and conduct - as subtly as we can, anyway- a survey to see how our people would respond to a war situation.
(Cambrius leans back. After a moment he speaks again.)
Oh, and Councilman Duck? My reason for leaving my old country? I disagreed with some highly-placed businessmen and was 'invited' to leave the country.
