//I decided to slash the 'D' option as it verges on belonging to Designs section anyways.

REPORT ON CURRENT RELATIONS WITH ALBIONESE IMPERIAL FAMILY AND THE PARLIAMENT:
Albionese Imperial Family thinks highly of the services of the Admiralty.
Albionese Imperial Family has been heard complaining about the outdated yacht they currently use. Prince Ebor especially would prefer to see a Queen of Kralicanev-class armored cruiser to be dedicated to Royal Family this year.
Albionese Parliament is currently on a tight budget and has not allowed for any new armored battleships to be scheduled for construction in year 1900.
Albionese Parliament is currently looking into the request of prior Lord of Admiralty: Allocation of funds for the most overdue dredging and modernization of Albionese naval yards across the Empire.
All 3 of Albionese Parliament parties (Lordlings, Workers, Civics) currently are neutral toward the Admiralty and you, due to your independent background and recent appointment to the post of Lord of Admiralty.
Albionese Parliament is currently debating on the diplomatic stance against Holy Damdamian Empire, whose rapidly modernizing navy and nationalistic politics are slowly being seen as a threat to the naval supremacy of the Albion.

The verbose reports of your secretary are to be commended!
Having reviewed them, you decide to...
1. Issue construction orders... (needs to be defined)
2. Issue design orders... (needs to be defined)
3. Commence your usual paperwork for now.
Unlike SPAMKINGOM, SPAMADMIRALTY will have more ambiguous choices that will have to be defined by you. The option that you guys '1 up' the most will win. You can define Construction orders, Design orders, or even both if you feel that there is need for that.
The 'commence paperwork' option will always be available and can be used to move forward 1 week. Emergencies and other important things might interrupt it.
Internal and international politics permitting, there might be more personal events in the future. After all, you're Lord of the Admiralty - you presence at Imperial ballrooms is definitely requested! :3
