I'm going to let the apparent usurption of a NPS go
this time (at least as it's percieved by some of the
other players) and treat it as if it had been approved
(although actually bringing your navy completly under
your personal control will need an action at Superior
or better success) - but in future, any assumptions
about things going on within an NPS should be checked
with a GM, and things happening within a PS should be
checked with the player in question.

Superior success - +1 to next years roll, plus the
most dissatisfied citizens break away from Tirmar and
join Kaeir (although this isn't enough to increase
your population level - only about 10 or so)

Extrodinary success - The Information Secratariat is
established firmly under Lord Basilludin's control.
The public has no hint of the alterior motive behind
their forming and at the moment it is just the name of
another arm of government (and exsists in name only).
I'm afraid it would normally take about thirty years
to get it up and running as a spy network - twenty
towards establishing safehouses in other areas and ten
towards recruitment and training. But on the basis of
special or permanent effects for success of +5 or
better, I'm going to state it will take that many
actions by your society to a minimum of 25 years.
