"My Empress! Methiant is at its greatest peaks since, well, quite a while! Your subjects are happy, the Treasury is filled with wealth, and the massive Imperial Army is conducting drills every day to drive their combat preparedness beyond any standard.

The Advisor then rolls open the map of Methiant and local region for you, but there doesn't seem to be any actual changes made to it this year.
