Your Excellency, that Minor Nation is too deeply under the influence of another Great Power for our grants to be effective.
Consider the Competition...
Ports in the following provinces are being blockaded and cut off from the transport network:
Defend Coastal Sea Zones!
Your Excellency, we must support the troops with the best new weapons. It is imperative that our military be upgraded, lest our forces be outmatched.
Upgrade the Troops
Your Excellency, you have left a province adjacent to enemy forces undefended. I beg you to reconsider your military deployments.
Defend the Empire!
Your Excellency, there are hostile forces cruising at will in the seas off our coast. I call your attention to:
Look to the Seas!

Prospecting Hint
We now have more resources available than we can transport in one turn. This is an excellent sign of growth.
I suggest building more transport capacity from the Railyard in the Industry screen.
Increase Transport Capacity
Congratulations upon the completion of a new port. I remind you to set new transport orders to take advantage of the resources it makes available.
Because ports do not need to be connected by rail, you can set new orders right away.
Transport Resources
Congratulations upon the completion of a new depot.
Notice the signal next to the building. If it is green, the depot is connected to the city and you can give transport orders to bring in new resources (click the transport button under the mini-map).
Connect all Depots
Your Excellency, I remind you that now that this worker has finished his job, you need to give transport orders to benefit from the additional resources.
Transport Resources
Your Excellency, it is frequently a good idea to consider ordering the engineer to build a depot once he has laid enough track to get beyond the radius of the city.
The depot would allow you to transport in resources the city can’t reach.
Build a Depot
Congratulations upon your successful prospecting. To make these minerals available for transport, you need to send a miner to this spot to work.
If you don’t already have one, I suggest training a miner in the university (in the Industry screen).
Build a Miner
Your Excellency, at least one fleet stronger than our defending navy now controls the seas off our Capitol City.

Capitol in Danger!
Your Excellency, hostile forces stronger than our defending armies now border the Capitol City.
The situation is dire. I leave tonight for my country estate.

I urge you to reconsider your trade and transport orders.
Feed the Workers
Your Excellency, the Great Power of [1: countryName] has become the most favored trade partner with the minor nation of [2: countryName].
Subsidies and frequent trade deals would help us regain our former lead.
Slipping behind in battle for markets
Your Excellency, the Great Power of [1: countryname] declared war on us!
You and the Defense Minister must mobilize the army and navy and defend the capitol city at all costs. Diplomacy has failed.
Prepare for Battle
Your Excellency, due to your wise policies, we had enjoyed the greatest influence over the Minor Nation of [1: name].
I am chagrined to report that over the past 3 months, the most undeserving Great Power of [2: name] has usurped our position.
Diplomatic Lead Overthrown!
Your Excellency, exciting new technologies are available from which we could benefit with merely a small investment to retool affected industries.
I respectfully suggest you consider investing in technology.
Invest in Technology
Your Excellency, although no one starved, our infrastructure does not supply the workers with a balanced diet. Workers are calling in sick.
I respectfully suggest you bring in a better mix of fresh food from the countryside, or trade for canned food.
