I am saddened to announce that I have fully taken over the household, due to my fathers death. I have bought a marquiship for my family and have sold the family business.

((I am fairly certain that you can't purchase a marquisate))
((Naxhi you lied to me ))
You can, I'm sure. IIRC the only title you can't purchase is Prince.))
I recommend this law of regional governors, an aberration to the centralist nature of the Imperial Government, and wholly unused in these years of its dejure existence (and therefore neither needed, save to please the bureaucrats who pervade the opposition), be abolished; let this mockery of a position be formally dissolved so as to not deny power from the government in the midst of the greatest war facing the Empire or undermine the authority of the Diet, the Pricy Council, the Prefecturates, and above all the Emperor.

Crisis in Brunei
“...in this time of European expansion we look to the one country who has proven to stand off against those who would take away our independence and destroy all that we hold dear. We ask that the Japanese provide military aid to our war-torn nation in the hopes that the people of Brunei, Allah watch over them, are protected and able to act independently and to chart their own course. May Allah forever bless you should you come to our aide…”
It seems the new government's promise to protect Asia from the west is being put to the test. Russia for the past few years has begun to drive into the sultanate of Brunei from their colonies on Borneo while the Japanese have been distracted in Korea. Brunei is defenseless against the Russian threat, and has asked the Japanese to intervene in Borneo in their war against Russia. The problem has been placed in front of the Imperial Army by the Emperor. The Brunei Sultan has offered the Japanese a deal though. Should Japan expand the war into Brunei, they would submit to the Emperor of Japan as their liege and lord, and become a protectorate of Japan. The Japanese though may not be willing to expand the war. While many feel that expansion is key, they do not want the war to continue after all the death so far. It is up to you, Marshall Munenari, leader of the frontline troops, to make the call regarding Brunei. Each will have its own consequences and rewards.
Option A: We accept the deal of Brunei. Divert troops to Borneo and protect our Asian brothers! Only when Brunei is under our protection can they be safe!
Option B: We want to help Brunei, but we want to help because they deserve freedom, not to help to make them a colony. Divert troops to Borneo, but do not subjugate the Brunei people!
Option C: The war has gone on too long. Our people are exhausted. We cannot send aid out of fear that the people will protest this. We want peace, not further conflict!
