The territory has changed significantly since the Jotun conquered it, and the Imperial maps of the territory grow more inaccurate by the day.

	*'''Spy on the Suranni''' - The Empire has recently begun [[Construct_Wrangler's_Market\|construction of a spy network]] in [[Bay_of_Catazar#Kalino_(or_“Arbonne”)\|Arbonne]], which will allow the Imperial Orcs to gather intelligence on the ~~Surrani~~ activities in Arbonne under cover of the acting as guards for Freeborn merchants. The plan is fool-proof in terms of not being discovered, but it does rely on the Imperial Orcs to have military units to be able to operate the network properly. The Assembly could look for ways to employ the new ~~Wranglers~~ Market to go further, making it more effective or easier to use. If there was a full-scale invasion of the Brass Coast by the Suranni, it would be almost certain to begin in Arbonne, so any intelligence could be crucial.		*'''Spy on the Suranni''' - The Empire has recently begun [[Construct_Wrangler's_Market\|construction of a spy network]] in [[Bay_of_Catazar#Kalino_(or_“Arbonne”)\|Arbonne]], which will allow the Imperial Orcs to gather intelligence on the Suranni activities in Arbonne under cover of the acting as guards for Freeborn merchants.

	* '''Suranni''' - It is impossible to be certain how powerful the Iron Confederacy actually are, but their campaign in Reinos proceeds apace. It would certainly be disastrous for the Brass Coast if the ~~Surrani~~ were to move in force against them. They were more than capable of destroying the Children of Wrecks, but as that campaign showed, they like to claim whatever they defend. There is little to be done to guarantee peace between the two powers besides a formal treaty defining such, but improved trade and other agreements to the benefit of the Dukes might make the idea of war with the Empire less desirable.		* '''Suranni''' - It is impossible to be certain how powerful the Iron Confederacy actually are, but their campaign in Reinos proceeds apace.

	* '''Faraden''' - The Faraden have recently re-signed their peace treaty with the Jotun, and the nature of their relationship with the Iron ~~Condeferacy~~ is somewhat unknown, but it seems likely that they would prefer Imperial victory in any conflict between the two. They have little in the way of military forces they can spare, but that does not mean there are no deals that might be struck to help, provided the problems posed by religious differences can be handled.		* '''Faraden''' - The Faraden have recently re-signed their peace treaty with the Jotun, and the nature of their relationship with the Iron Confederacy is somewhat unknown, but it seems likely that they would prefer Imperial victory in any conflict between the two.

	* '''Morajasse''' - Following their visit to Anvil last season, relations seem to be improving between the Protectorate of Morajasse and the Empire. Few Brass Coast are naturally minded to work with the Protectorate - they are Grendel after all - but they have shown themselves more than capable of defending the Coast from mutual threats. The garrison controls the fortification - the Freeborn could negotiate to see if further deals for mutual military and other benefits are possible.		* '''Morajasse''' - Following their visit to Anvil last season, relations seem to be improving between the Protectorate of Morajasse and the Empire.

After studying the issue, the hakima have identified over a dozen different paths that could be taken. Each approach will yield benefits but will undoubtedly come with costs that will have to be ~~born~~ by someone. For the following year, the Freeborn National Assembly can direct the efforts of Freeborn citizens to one of the options listed below each season, using an appropriately worded statement of principle. At most, that means they could pursue up to four of these options. In each instance at least one [[opportunity]] will be identified and presented by the Freeborn working in conjunction with the Civil Service.

	One way to make it harder for enemies to attack the Brass Coast is to strengthen relations with the nation's neighbours. Obviously the Marches and the League are the nation's immediate neighbours inside the Empire, but one of the reasons why the Brass Coast has suffered in recent years is because of ~~it's~~ proximity to so many foreign powers. Closer relations with any of them might yield useful benefits - provided that what they demanded in return was acceptable to the Empire.
