 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Restoration of Order to the Seven Clans of Karelia: Each of the Seven Clans of Karelia is made an offer: surrender their sovereignty and swear fealty to the Kingdom of Inkeri and each of the seven clans may be able to remain in power as counts and dukes under Inkeri rule, and be allowed a certain degree of autonomy. Failure to accept will be met with invasion. The majority of the Inkerian army is already stationed on the border of the former Karelian nation, ready to strike at a moment's notice.
 * Sami Invasion of Svearike: Funds are sent to Svearike to aid in subduing the Sami incursion into their lands, and a small contingent of 300 troops makes the journey to the battlefields in northern Svearike to aid our ally.
 * Events:
 * Establishment of the Kauppalitto: One of the earliest trade leagues in Europe, the Kauppalitto (literally the Alliance of Merchants) was a league of associated merchant guilds and trading ports working together. Originally consisting of guilds in Kiaranlahti, Varntio, Laatokanlinna, Aalepori, and Pietarranta, the Kauppalitto would eventually spread across much of the eastern Baltic region and into the river systems of eastern Europe.
 * Famine of 1153-1159: With famine hitting in several areas of the country, especially the northern provinces, we begin shifting food stocks from areas with surplus food into areas in need of food, and begin rationing in the most affected counties.
 * Famine Relief Shipments: With as much food we can spare while leaving adequate food reserves for our people (which, by the way, isn't a large amount, but its the best we can do), we send shipments of much-needed food to the shores of Svearike, in the hopes of putting a dent to the devastating effects of famine there.
 * Infrastructure: Road infrastructure continues to be constructed, with a road between Kiaranlahti and Laatokanlinna completed, with expansions towards Aalepori, Pietarranta, and perhaps even the former Karelian territories all the way up to the White Sea should we take control of them in a reasonable time frame. A road is also constructed from Kiaranlahti into Tallinn, as part of our efforts in integrating Maavald with Inkeri, and the port of Kiaranlahti continues to be expanded. The existing stretch of road between Kiaranlahti and Varntio is outfitted with inns and stables every 30 km, in order to give travelers a place to rest.
 * Integrating Maavald: The political structure of Maavald begins to be integrated with the rest of Inkeri, and Inkerian commercial endeavors have also slowly begun infiltrating Maavaldian cities.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Seven Clans of Karelia: Ok, so you're fighting over the throne, and Rossopetsk is invading you guys. This fighting is just pointless, and is only going to lead to the dominance of Rossopetsk in Karelia. You don't want that, do you? Therefore, I make a genius offer to you: why not just join us? You'll still be in power as provincial rulers within Inkeri, you'll be able to join our market and trade your goods to the wider region, and we probably have more human rights than you do. And if you don't, you'll face consequences...
 * Cherno-Vedena: Hello? Trade agreement and alliance? I sent this to you a decade ago, you still haven't replied? Are you even here?
 * Svearike: Here's a goody box. The tag says "To The Starving Peasants of Svearike", so please get it to them. It has cakes and stuff in it.
