Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

Revoke the Calendar of Festivities

Both this and Arts are presumably beneficial, although somewhat long-term and in-the-background projects. It's probably safe to cut either, but I think Festivities is safer because we'll more easily notice it's missing once revenues are back up.

I sort of agree. But calendar of festivities can sort of pay for itself if our happiness peaks and our subjects start offering us money.

So far, I've yet to see any tangible benefit from the arts, so...

Revoke State Patronage of the arts.

We should re-enable the patronage of the arts later.

From what I can tell it has kept our culture homogeneous and spreading. 

But until the vault and tax changes are in we should hold off.

You decide to revoke State of Patronage of Arts - the artisans weren't coming up lately anyway.

1216 AD, Spring

Diplomatic Corps bring a report from the royal chambers of Eldrican itself: Young Teodor, heir to the throne, will be marrying a few years older Prodina, daughter of the Prawlantese consul councilmember. Its no doubt that King Feir is attempting to reconcile the bitter relationship with the westerners (or at least, one of their countries).

1216 AD, Summer

Silver! Silver has been struck in the northern colonies!

Prospectors and miners, who were digging up soil and rocks to the east of established colonies that produce iron, report that just few days away lie plentiful deposits of silver ore, namely galena.

Of course, the prospective miners will require a certain monetary supply to begin their operations, hire workers, build infrastructure, etc etc.

A) Let the coin rain!
B) Sorry, ask me later.

You decide to sponsor the mines in the north.

1216 AD, Midsummer

It seems that favorites and proteges of noblemen - that being artisans of many sorts - losing the oh so unclaimed sponsorships was enough to make the noblemen grumble, causing them to get angrier at the Emperor.

C'est la vie, Happiness is just a number!

1216 AD, Autumn

2to5, 1, 1to2*

Reports come from the traders; the profits were akin to the last year, but the t'chai failed to incur any noticeable wealth this year.

Few days later, the squealing of the newborn once again fills the royal chambers! Mirinda gives birth to a healthy little girl. She names her 'Aife'.

1216 AD, Mid-Autumn

All across from the Empire come reports that this year had exceptional harvests! Grain fields and orchards especially bore plenty of cereal and fruit, the markets gorged with bags and baskets full of produce. Priests and commoners alike clamor that this calls for a celebratory festival to be hosted by the Crown.

A) We already give money to upkeep standarized calendar of festivities, we don't need another expense!
B) Let's drink, party and be merry, everyone!
