It was our screw up. The requests were made. We didn't fulfill them. This is where we show everyone we practice what we preach.

Real world diplomatic experience and a great deal of respect in the community. Feels like the best fit where we don't have to pull one of our already dedicated diplomats.

Why?

nothing aside from smarts says this person might be able to do the job. No real experience managing, no real experience actually doing the job of a diplomat. From a RW perspective, she'd make a great adjutant, but NOT the one in charge of our entire diplomatic corps.

Because I don't trust "distinguished scholars" with an academic career. Better someone with smarts and no experience than a pile of ivory tower arrogance, which is basically *anti-experience* and outweighs any past record of success.

Also, just because they seem like a way more interesting character.

I get the distrust of academia, but Kamoto Mito has actually done the work before.

Which sounds like fun, but it's a terrible way to run an Empire!

I'm not interested in having to find a new advisor, and the benefits aren't that significant (building a navy takes way too many actions; that's our big action sink)

Practical and theoretical experience, seems a reasonable choice

44b leftover; we couldn't afford the requested resources. Colonization was actually chosen primarily as the cheap option, as opposed to money making. Will probably work to build IGMP and Special Branch next turn over surveying. Assuming we have money, at least.

Shouldn't IGMP be a priority this turn since we had a major failure there that killed one of the leaders in our government?
It's possible it should have been a higher priority, but between almost running out of money, definitely running out of actions, us being forced to pay for an expansion (not that said expansion isn't desirable), not being 100% confident we could expand alongside the event expansion, and the advisors not requesting an additional expansion, I decided to do other things instead. It's on my high priority list for next turn though (assuming I remember)

If you think it should be reprioritized, feel free to take my plan, and make just that one change. Even if it's 99% my plan, some extra competition would probably be good for me.
