As most of the council members wanted North Korea to be isolationist with China, their not-so-peaceful neighbor, Kim Jong only wished for the least he could do once two prominent families from China and North Korea married and made everyone unhappy with their thoughtlessness about international taboo. With Kim Jong only giving minimal gifts, our relations with China did not change much.
Pebekammen had also successfully infiltrated Kyouto and is now operating from inside the city limits. With a great spy operating as a royal in Japan, we could now see what our friendly neighbor was
really doing. Was it necessary? Probably not, but Kim Jong did it anyway.
As the spy that Kim Jong ordered to explore entered the lands of India, Buddhist (or as it is starting to be called, Jongiasm) monks from a strange land called Tibet noticed our spy's deceitful soul and established contact between North Korea and Tibet. Their leader, Songtsen Gampo, was at war with China, and were liked us, despite our sneaky explorers.
Kim Jong opened borders to trade with these monks and saw they were more advanced than us. Kim Jong did not worry though, as he thought they would not last too much longer in the long run.
Another civilization had noticed our exploring spy during his exploration. The Tamils were people who lived to the south of the Indians, and focused heavily on growth and trade. These people were willing to open borders to Kim Jong, and even had some decent resources up for trade that Kim Jong thought about.
Contact was also reestablished with Persia, who Kim Jong had thought collapsed long ago, but these Zoroastrian people were still alive, despite being quite unstable. The spy continued going west now to see what was out there.
Now that North Korea had a navy of 4 galleys, and a soon-to-be trireme, Kim Jong thought he should start training some land units. Shenggyeang and Pyongyang were now training knights to sentry to the east of Shenggyeang until they were to be needed in case of an emergency.
Also, yet another civilization met North Korea, but unlike these other new nations, they hated our guts. Kim Jong already disliked this nation as even their leader looked like he was already ready to rip off Kim Jong's glorious (and handsome!) mustache. Kim Jong did nothing with Arabia, and wished to order his spy to keep moving west.
Information was given to Kim Jong, just as he had suspected, that China had wiped out the Tibetans. Kim Jong, sad to lose a nation that could have been allies, weak, but allies, to his rivals. There wasn't much he could do however, so Kim Jong just continued to give speeches around North Korea and shake hands of the citizens.
Council members, post your policies.
