Army recruitment drive: A recruitment drive has been launched, capped out at 3000 new soldiers. Of course, they expect that there won't be anywhere near this number due to the armies poor reputation. More funding is also being given to the army, and with it they are to buy better quality muskets, power and other such "tools of the trade" While they are not being given funding anywhere near the levels of the navy or marines, it is an improvement of what they had before.

Corustaria, Empress speech in an attempt to quell dissent

"Corustaria is not a country in the traditional sense. You cannot fear the possibility of a Lance-Numburg esque merger because it has already happened. Several hundred years ago, when our island nations united into one. A trade route, is not some kind of tether that will result in a merger. We, as a people, have already merged, and we are content with our way of life as our isle. Know that as long as I stand, as long as I breath, your will shall not be ignored, we shall not merge with a foreign power in the shamefully undemocratic and oppressive way Lance and Numburg has. No, as long as I live Corustaria shall be an independent nation! Based on your popular wish, all trade routes with Numburg and the Lance have been broken, and all trade slashed by more than 50%". She failed to mention that they had become inactive from the chaos anyway, and that since neither of the above nations existed anymore, even that didn't matter, of course "However, the method of stating this will that the extremists have used is simply unacceptable. Therefore, the laws on xenophobia are being tightened. Our people will not be mocked, our culture will not be mocked. It will not be mocked by hooligans who dare to pretend they are fighting for Corustaria when they are going against its very essence and its laws, and they shall be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law"
Resulting law changes (Temporary, applied fir a maximum period of six months): Max sentence for xenophobic comments raised from 16 coin fine to 32 coin fine ((Average wage = 8 coins an hour.)). Max sentence for assault based on race, gender or creed: Raised from 8 years to 10 years. ((Assualt and battery raised from 8 years six months to 11 years))

Trade vessels stop movements with Numburg and the Lance, and overall trade decreases..

Military movements: 5000 Recruits and 5000 Regulars ship over to the territories of Prussia. Officially, it is being referred to as an invasion (hoping the more aggressive sounding name will help to calm the rebels who wouldn't bother to look any deeper), though its more of a peace keeping action.
A fleet (Two frigates, two Baruqes, three Galleys) is launched, heading to the new world. Aboard are 2000 Recruits and 2000 Regulars, along with supplementary supplies for the colonies and more colonists to help fill the claimed territories. The reason for this sudden deployment of soldiers is unknown, but many speculate upon it.
All remaining forces are deployed to the cities alongside the Watch to help maintain order. They are ordered not to fire their weapons unless it is "A matter of life or death". Distaste for the Lance Empire and Numburg is rising in parliament due to the problems their merger has caused, and while the peacekeeping action is passed (by just two votes), it is clear that they are expecting huge compensation for this.
All other ships currently stationed at the colonies are recalled

The Mighty Hammer

The case isn't even brought to court, but instead laughed off. The man is released, as technically he has not committed any crime. Grand Admiral Thorn congratulated him on coming up with such an elaborate scheme, and a few other, less prominent figures, have commented on it, most being positive. The mans name is quickly recorded and entered into the history books as the most money spent on a joke in recorded history

King Baba-Uti.

The colonists refuse to swear fealty, but are willing to pay compensation for having taken the lands as long as it is "reasonable". They bring forward the chest of coin and their lead begins to count it out into bags, expecting he'll have to fork out to the natives before long. It wasn't that bad, they'd brought some wines they'd be pleased to offer them too

Empowered company and government "landgrab" project

The Government has encouraged the company to buy up land and structures while they are cheap due to the unrest in Prussia, ensuring that once Prussia is rebuilt, or if the two nations split, the empowered company will have a significant grasp. Likewise, a government fund of 2 billion had been used in an attempt to purchase land cheap from some of the more restless regions of the Lance Empire (Preferably along the north coast) Whether this will be successful or not is yet to be seen, but they are confident that people (including possible nobles) will be quick to sell at cheap prices move away to more stable parts of the Lance Empire, hopefully Corustaria legal ownership of large amounts of Lance Empire Lands. What they intend to do with these lands isn't clear.
