Example Crisis Note #1

Committee: Joint Crisis Committee: Nigerian-Biafran War: Biafra

Position: Louis Mbanefo

To my beautiful wife,

At this point, my priority is to take control of the power of the Judicial Branch. To this end, I will utilize my newly acquired fortune to bribe many of the judges in power. I know I won't have to worry about not having enough money because $200,000 USD is worth a lot, especially in 1960. If any judge decides to refuse, I will use my influence over the Head Justice to force them into submission, while also utilizing contacts acquired from my time serving in the Eastern Region Parliament. This will allow me to earn support within the legislative branch. To further increase my influence in the judicial branch, I will use my bodyguards to physically intimidate justices. With this, I will have complete control of the judicial branch. If you could carry out these tasks, I would be forever grateful to you, my love. Only a few judges should have to be bribed because only the top judges in the Supreme Court matter, as they are able to take on any case from the lower courts and have the power to influence judgement.

TLDR: Use newly acquired fortune to buy out judges and utilize contacts to earn support within the legislative branch. Use bodyguards to physically intimidate justices, increasing my influence in the judicial branch.

Thank you so much, dear. I hope you have a blessed day.

With love,

Louis Mbanefo
