Corrections:
The Director of Trade's action can only open up orders in regions not controlled by the company.

When the Superintendent of Trade in China comes into play, the Chairman fills the office, not the Director of Trade.

Activating Royal Protection is optional, not automatic.

During the Peace event, if the elephant is on a border, you only open the two orders on the line connecting the adjacent regions, not every order in the region.

When defending a region from attack, the Commander chooses which units to exhaust, not the President. If there is no Commander, Military Affairs chooses, followed by the Chairman. Acting commanders don't gain trophies.

When voting on behalf of someone, your votes must be no votes, and this can only be done if they've voted against the law, or commit to doing so.

During London Season, if you're still tied after most windows, use Prime Minister Order
