In light of the Sedonian agreement with Kaeirean humanitarian efforts, I'm adding a fourth action for Kaeir.
Action 4: Passage for Zelkori refugees
The Green Republic of Kaeir directs a squadron of the 2nd Van of the Fleet to sail to Zelkor, and in accordance with the conditions layed down by Sedonia, to provide transportation to those Zelkori refugees that wish to flee the bitter fighting that will surely follow in the city.
The only Kaeirean condition made upon refugees is that they are able to provide proof that they are residents of the Principality of Zelkor (which of course means it is mostly only the educated and wealthy who are able to provide such proof - though officially no such discrimination against the plebs in the offer of refuge exists). Accomodation will be temporarily provided by the state to help the refugees get back on their feet.
Weight/Duration: single action / normal difficulty / 1 turn.
Key Elements: Senate, Fleet, Kaeirean Trade Commissioner to Zelkor, Ministry of Domestic Affairs.
Factors:
+ Kaeirean reputation for offering refuge
+ Cosmopolitan culture of Kaeir
+ Neutrality in the Zelkori Conflict
+ Kaeirean traders have done business with Zelkori merchants off shore, thus partly circumventing the blockade (without challenging Sedonia)
- Distance

To the Lord-Consul of the Green Republic of Kaeir, Greetings.
We welcome your words and applaud the humanitarian sentiments expressed
therein. We have agreed, upon the personal assurances of King Opozoya of
Burcancy, to allow the Tanimbari to send one convoy of food to Zelkor,
which will evacuate refugees on its return trip.
If the Green Republic wishes, it may send evacuation ships in company
with the Tanimbari convoy to evacuate refugees. If that proves
impractical, We will also permit empty Kaeiran ships which stop for
inspection by the blockading squadron to enter the port and evacuate
refugees.
