 * Subjects: Snaelland

 * Wars and Conflicts: (1 longship = ~80 men)
 * The Counterinvasion of the Empire of the North: The Viking tactics of old are employed in a counter-invasion of Alba to pressure enemy forces to pull out of Vestkyst proper. All availabe longships (approx. 90) are piled with men armed with swords, sent towards Alba, making the roundtrip journey 3 times (making the participating forces approximately 21,6k if my math isn't wrong). Galleys are employed to . The plan is to cause havoc and chaos along the North Sea Empire's western coast to serve as a distraction to eventually capture Orkneyjar (and the city of Jorvik) and Hjaltland (and the city of Leirvik).
 * A Covert Team in Vestkyst: Covert agents, some of them living in Svearike, are sent to occupied Vestkyst and instigate rebellions accross the territory. Spies coming from Holland also attempted to infiltrate occupied Denmark to flare up unrest.

 * Diplomacy:
 * England: We are calling for you to assist us militarily in a counterinvasion of the Empire of the North, as we have an alliance that has been in effect since old times.
 * Events:
 * The Invasion of the Empire of the North: A swift invasion from former Alba decapacitates Vestkyster lands and infrastructure and any chance of fighting back. The remaining remnants of the Vestkyster court fled to newly integrated Sørstatt, establishing Rouen as an interim capital. A regency council (later known as the Council of Rouen) is established between prominent noble Vestkyster & Sørstatter families to rule temporarily until a Kaeva can be safely recalled from either northern Vestkyst or Svearike.
 * Mounting a Counterinvasion: Utilizing any resources available in continental Europe, the Council of Rouen ramps up construction of galleys, longships and military training for able-bodied men in continental Europe in preparation of a counterinvasion into Alba; in addition to any vessels formerly belonging to Sørstatt and those lucky enough to slip past the North's blockades and arrive in ports. Plans are already being devised left and right, however with the limited resources they have to make do with, this will prove to be a tough task. With England's assistance however, we can expect the pressure to be alleviated.
 * Western Land: Ships continually don the coastlines of Iberia to discover new cities, travelling past Ceuti further in.
 * Colonies in the Farlands: Kaevashafen is maintained by vessels transporting food and other necessities from Snaelland resupplies and from Leirvik. Settlement policies are made to encourage expansion and population. Efforts are made to maintain peace between settlers and natives, and trade is incentivized between both parties. Actions are done to reduce tensions from misunderstandings between settlers and natives. For now though, settlers are recommended to stay put in their outposts, and not leave unarmed. The settlers of Kaevashafen are not informed of any... "issues" in Vestkyst proper as to maintain order of the colony.
 * A Heathen Faith?: Due to certain... "issues", the policy is temporarily rescinded.
 * Military Training: Any able bodied men on Sørstatt and Holland is given proper military training.
