August 28th
I’d like to congratulate you all. We defeated the stag lord, and have been granted a barony by the great and honorable noble families of Brevoy.
This is a major change for all of us. We have gone from simple individual adventurers wandering the waste lands to minor nobles charged with overseeing this mysterious realm.
This past month has been hectic. Moving everyone out of Oleg’s trading post, recruiting settlers, and establishing this city. We have founded our capital and set up a farm to feed our people. We haven’t had much time to consider our social and economic policies, but I expect those issues to be brought up at next month’s meeting.
--Work done the previous month--
*Founded capital city and built a road
*Established hex to NW and built a farm
*Built a house and tavern
September 28th
Jang walks into the meeting hall and starts chewing into people:
Unacceptable, completely unacceptable. I have been going over the books with Oleg, and our expenses are just too high. How can we expect to run a government like this?
Our production is good (4-6 BP per month) and set to expand with the recent gold mine, but our expenses are killing us (4 BP per month). Everyone has to focus on making lowering our cost basis, otherwise we won’t be able to afford watered down beer at our tavern.
Now, I’ve been hearing a little rumbling from the populace. There are some stirrings from the settlers before we took over complaining about us bringing law and order to these wild lands. With Jack leaving us, it’s more important than ever for us to focus on achieving a stable society. That brings me to the next point, social and economic policies.
I am announcing an end to our taxation and promotion for growth. Taxation is destroying the small business owners and barely bringing in any money. We’ll make more in the long run focusing on tariffs and excise taxes. The growth program was a mistake that was killing us. Why in the world are we spending 2 BP a month promoting growth with only 100 settlers in our land? With our new low cost focus, our fiscal strength will make this a much stronger kingdom in the long run.

*Established hex to NE and built a gold mine
October 28th
This month’s numbers look a lot better now that we have focused on lowering our costs and improving our margins. I know that we were planning on establishing a camp to exploit the teak wood, but with this new farm, we can cut our food imports significantly saving us money in the long term.
I also see that our focus on the stability of the population has been working, and popular unrest has decreased 50%. Let’s keep our focus on that in the coming quarters.
Overall, I’d say that we are in an excellent position to continue our growth in the future. I’d like everyone to start thinking about projects that you can implement to help grow the kingdom. For example, improved defenses, a citizens’ prayer study group, or a farm for good berries. I look forward to hearing your reports next month.

*Established hex to NE and built a farm
November 28th
We are doing a good job this month. I think we'll meet our year end fiscal goals if we continue to apply the continous improvement tools. We have our costs under control with consumption at 2 BP per month, but I think that we can do better.
We've been expanding heavily with an outward focus building new farms and mines. And this month we added a lumber camp to our kingdom. We'll probably be changing our paradigm to a mot inward focused organic growth model in the next quarter.
--Work done the previous month--
*Establish hex on teak wood and built camp
December 28th
Happy Lunar Solstice everyone! We have passed the darkest night, and it's onto brighter days just like our kingdom. I'm also thrilled that we got out our new stuffed mephit dolls in time for the new year. <Jang hands out stuffed mephit dolls with glow in the dark eyes to everyone> I bought the first set for everyone to enjoy.
We've already met all of our major goals, and the year is only half over. I'd like to acknowledge Morgan and Alyssa on their recent work getting the unrest under control. Morgan found the anarchist group that had been inspiring the settlers lead by a man with the code name "snowball". The matter was dealt with peacefully, and unrest has been eliminated. In addition, Alyssa's preachings about the peasants obligation to follow their leaders has kept other extremist elements from forming. Good job to both of you.
With the newly established farm by Oleg's old trading post, we have cut our importation of foreign food to 1 BP per month. Our economy is strong with gold and teak flowing into the capital.
The next question is if we want to continue our external focus, or start building our capital. I look forward to your recommendations.

*Conspicous consumption. During the long, cold winter a wandering trader wandered into town. Alisten Gillsbee was selling various trinkets including pieces of geostite.
