To max out Population, you simply have to ferry over 89 additional crew after establish your colony (the viceroy will supply one more). For the estate, there are a number of options - browse the table below for the options, but it's mostly [[File:SS coffeesmall.png|23px]] [[Sack of Darkdrop Coffee Beans]], [[File:SS diamondsmall.png|23px]] [[Captivating Treasure]]s and [[File:SS surmisesmall.png|23px]] [[Vital Intelligence]], although you can use [[Supplies]].

He paces back and forth, gesturing with his glittering gloves, listing rationales for allying with a self-proclaimed monarch. You are the lesser evil. You have shown that you are sympathetic to their cause. One day, perhaps, you will free your island from your own tyranny. You wait for him to finish. <span style="color:white;">'''Shadow's Respect'''</span> Anarchs do not kneel, and they are the enemies of rulership. Nevertheless, this one gives you a grudging nod. You are a powerful ally, and they must needs respect you. This is your kingdom. <span style="color:white;">'''Founder of a nation'''</span> This is your kingdom. London is where you began - but now, this is your home. From a ship's captain to a nation's founder is a long journey indeed. Who knows where the journey will take you?

But honestly, there's not much they can do about it, and the Empire's power is on the wane.

Each proposal, she claims, is absolute, final and categorical; each proves, when challenged, to be none of those things. No, you do not wish to govern in the Empress' name. No, dominion status is not sufficient. No, you do not acknowledge that the Empress has gifted you this land. You are a monarch, or nothing. <span style="color:white;">'''London's Respect'''</span> The Ambassador shrugs - this obviously what she expected - and, at last, she bows deeply.

The third, you drive off a Khanate trimaran which has apparently taken a dislike to your kitchen garden, and shells your cucumbers into paste. Every fight takes its toll. The graveyard begins to grow. Can you really defend yourself as an independent nation?

Not one survives. You mount gibbets on the beach to display their remains. The second week, you suffer an assault by Unfinished Pirates. You crush them all to rubble. Now you have a rock garden. The third, a Khanate trimaran takes a dislike to your kitchen garden, and shells your cucumbers into paste. You capture it, rename it, make it the second vessel in your navy. Exactly one week later, a Royal Navy corvette puts marines ashore to pacify your 'robber state'. You're ready for them. You send them home safe, and keep the corvette. One month after that, the Empire asks leave to send an ambassador... <span style="color:white;">'''Founder of a nation'''</span> This is your kingdom.

A representative of the College of Mortality arrives a week later, in one of the Presbyterate's notorious living ships. It stains the waters around it red with blood.

He does condescend to lower his ear to your mouth to listen to what you have to say. <span style="color:white;">'''An ancient treaty'''</span> You speak the words you've learnt - the opening lines of a treaty made between the Presbyterate and a certain other power, long before London fell, before the Bazaar ever came to the Neath - Immediately, his demeanour changes.
