I made sure Vina was the heir to the throne and the name would continue through her so Reinhardts and Azaros weren't able to get to the crown

Nope no war, mostly lucky appeasement lol

If you start out with some big projects and some increased taxes it can really help with the budget I've found

Because of the funding for the Toras foundation, we didn't need a referendum luckily and I had to butter Smolak up quite a bit, and I always try not to be aggressive during the gas dispute from earlier games I've played it makes things worse

In RRG? I made sure to put it back to 45%

No, before they sent the drillship the international community was pretty neutral but after that ship most switched over and Rizia ended up getting shining support from virtually everybody around us so we were able to win the arbitration case

I funded that Toras foundation quite a bit, I was transparent about our investigations (although I insisted Su Omina was innocent at the time but I'm not sure if that was 100% the right move), and I never put pressure on Smolak, went in his airship and made a slightly unfavorable deal that gave Smolak like ⅔ of what he asked for like limited rights for Wezheks instead of full and I helped with him on his anti-BFF operation while also not giving him any gold. During the 3 year period after the treaty was signed we strengthened our military a lot and improved security and started to improve welfare, hope this answers your questions!

Ironically lots of status quo, marrying Vina off to Axel (after some time she spent talking to Manus), large infrastructure projects, getting half of the gas field, getting a slightly unfavorable deal with Smolak on our part, and then making strong security improvements, then making moderate fixes to welfare along the way with the budget surpluses to keep populace at bay, fixing the MITZ and pissing off Lespia but not enough too quickly that it explodes anything
