 * Rossopetsk Conflict: Although we officially have made peace with Rossopetsk, we continue assisting our vassal of Karjala in their campaign in Rossopetsk. We also attempt to broker a peace between Karjala and Rossopetsk, with Karjala annexing the northern frontier of Rossopetsk.
 * Northern War (Sami-Arktalasriika Conflict): We continue assisting Svearike.
 * Events:
 * Treatise with the Tuvans: With the rapid growth of the Tuvan Khaganate in the east, seeming like an unstoppable force, King Andreas, as well as several members of the Valtuusto, begin to realize that this new force could overrun Inkeri and all of its neighbors easily, and tales of death and devastation from refugees to the east bring forth the idea that to resist millitarily would be to forfeit the Inkerian nation and the Finnic people to the marauding hordes of Tuva. Thus, King Andreas, with the approval of an extremely narrow majority of the Valtuusto, makes a metaphorical "Deal with the Devil" with Alka Khan; Inkeri will pay a tribute equivalent to 25% of the current Inkerian tax income, and allow Tuvans to settle in Inkerian soil and gain access to the European markets by way of Kiaranlahti, and in return, the Tuvan Khaganate shall guarantee the safety of the Inkerian people, refrain from meddling in Inkerian internal affairs, and help us enforce our sovereignty over the neighboring kingdoms. In case of Tuvan rejection, however, we begin mobilizing the Army at full force, leaving them to garrison our cities, as well as ramo up production of melee and siege weapons to hopefully fend off the Tuvans. We advise our allies in Svearike and Cherno-Vedena to do the same.
 * Finnicization: King Andreas, upon ascending to the throne, embarks on a massive Finnicization campaign across Inkeri. Local Varangian and Slavokan minorities are increasingly pressured to learn a Finnic language and take up the customs of mainstream Inkerian society. Varangians and especially Slavokans begin to be harassed based on stereotypes, and several cities, most notably Varntio, begin enacting ordinances forcing Slavokans in Inkeri to reside in segregated ghettos, as well as restricting Slavokan participation in public life. (the Sveans of Kiaranlahti are not harassed, as Svearike has had a good relatonship with Inkeri and has had one for two generations by now.) A notable effect of King Andreas's Finnicization policy is the official renaming of Röttstadt to Varantinjoki, and Geldstadt to Kultajoki.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Tuvan Khaganate: You rule all between the Urals and Cathay. Your kingdom is so much greater than our petty excuse for a state. We bow prostrate to your Majesty, Alka Khan, and offer you a quarter of our wealth, if only you spare our pitiful kingdom from being smited from existence. If you help us prosper and become greater than our current state (but not, of course, better than Your majesty), we will be your loyal servants forever and ever.  DEATH TO THE TUVANS!!! May your empire endure for the rest of eternity, and may your nations prosper for all time.
 * Svearike, Cherno-Vedena: bravo six, going tuvan
