Norregan
Ioudaia is a fairly liberal democracy, or something like that, so as a matter of policy, Ioudaia spreads democracy, civil rights, and the rule of law. Norregan's absolute monarchy is therefore unacceptable. Ioudaia doesn't have a problem with the dynasty per se, and a constitutional monarchy is just fine.
Ioudaia is going to start a long-term plan to advance democracy in Norregan. While Ioudaia needs to work with the government to get in the door, and needs to move slowly to deal with the people's conservative culture, to the extent possible, Ioudaia will start basic training in democracy when determining what aid to provide. For example, in replacing the local fishing fleet and its associated infrastructure (docks at least, canneries if Norregan was an exporter), Ioudaia will conduct polls, surveys, and votes to find out what people and communities want. Little boats or big boats? Sails, engines, or both? Fishing with nets or lines? And so on.
Once the Norregans are happy making small decisions on their own, Ioudaia will move on to bigger ones.
If asked, Ioudaia's basic cover stories are the sound explanations that aid agencies are simply trying be culturally sensitive, best meet Norregan's needs, make sure aid is delivered efficiently (no use giving people something they don't want), etc. And the cover stories are, in all likelihood, completely true: before the recent storm, Ioudaia's intelligence services gave the country only a cursory glance. It's small, isolated, and has no natural resources or strategic location, so of little importance overall.
As this is a long play – potentially years long – Ioudaia is willing to lie low if the government becomes too inquisitive. Obviously, other governments' intelligence services will eventually figure out what Ioudaia is up to. But hopefully, they'll take a couple of months to notice the differences between "careful aid effort" and "covert push to reform the government".

I expect to post IC for the meeting between the Atollan president and the Ioudaian foreign minister in the next few days. I need to draft it, run it by Ains, then revise and post it.

Hmm, actually believe it or not Martenyika’s reviving boatbuilding industry could serve as some cover, aside from serving its own interests.

They're fully independent already. Do you mean cut ties with Altera? The situation between Altera and Atolla is similar to UK and Australia but closer so itd be interesting to see a grass-roots movement distancing themselves from that. A 'community' (i see what youre doing here with the socialisms) party sounds good. It's an absolute blindside of Kelau though... the man's heart pains for his people so this'd be devastating for him.
I love it.

I borrowed an NPC you mentioned: Private Arali Aluen. No reason a member of Atolla's military shouldn't also lose his home to the flooding. Saves me from having to make up an Atollan name.
