1. That the Imperial Navy despite the best efforts of its brave droungaroi and sailors continues to suffer heavy losses whenever it faces warships from the Far West and that it has to be strengthened to truly become a wooden wall separating the Faithful from the abhorrent and soulless Westerners.
2. That the Imperial Senate and all Noble Houses support His Imperial Majesty in this holy endeavor completely.

(3) Expedition – Africa, Hindustan and Eastern Seas (within colonial range)

Shall We organize the second expedition to provide a more accurate description of coast of Africa and Hindustan as well as Eastern Seas?
The counsel of the Imperial Senate is as follows:

The counsel of the Imperial Senate is as follows:
(5) Terms of peace – Aquitaine (annexation)
His Imperial Majesty decided to ask the Imperial Senate for counsel in the following matter:
Shall We take the good Christians of Kingdom of Aquitaine under Our protection?
The counsel of the Imperial Senate is as follows:
the mad "emperor" should be made to submit to three conditions:
First: The mad king disband his pathetic 'empire' that means literally nothing, as he has no authority over the remaining german states. Permanantly. All imperial regalia will given over and melted down. I would guess this would be enforced on him even if this amendment failed, but it does not hurt to repeat.
Second: The mad king submit to the true emperor's mercy, whatever it may be, and the nobility of Aquitaine pay tribute to Imperium Romanum as a vassal state until such a time that it can be annexed without the threat of pisan raiding and chaos.
Third: The mad king pay for his insolence by forefeiting some of Aquitaine's territories up front, a more managable amount than the entire kingdom, preferably a stretch of land that gives the imperium a land connection to the ocean beyond the Mare Nostrum, to support raiding of Xenoi trade fleets and keep a watchful eye on the brittanic provinces.
POLICIES
The Imperial Senate decided to enact the following policies:
- Provincial Taxation System: -10% land maintanance, +10% manpower recovery speed (MILITARY POLICY)
