--------------------------
Under normal circumstances, our first focus would be on Bianjie with the Progressive Communist Party, especially with the Socialist People's Party drifting to the centre. However, the recent moves by the Caillean People's Party in Egelion have warranted significant attention. While Egelion is a firm ally of Xsampa, and worthy of immense trust, the goals of the CPP are, while not inherently Metzist, let alone properly socialist, still in alignment with Xsampan goals in the wider globe. And befitting Egelions status as a major power, influencing the CPP will be invaluable.

As such, for Operation Stagnant Ascendancy to prevail, Kerisian General Operations will be required. Before looking into the CPP in Egelion, we must look at Keris as a whole. The All-Nadiyan Communist Party, while certainly noteworthy, is not worth the effort, both due to the ANCP's distinct independent identity, and strict Nadiyan laws and counter espionage operations. The situation of the left in Dolgava is indeterminable, and as such, resources should not be wasted. The Tripartite Kingdom of New Endralon, Kizenia and Kuzaki, while holding a left wing party that can be influenced, is in no suitable position to ever elect the Left. Resources shouldn't be wasted at the moment. This leaves Egelion and the Caillean People's Party. While the CPP is mainstream, and floating within a vague centre left space, the CPP claims to be democratic socialist. Despite this, because of their mainstream status, it is impossible to expect them to ever embrace radical socialism, let alone Metzism, they are at the end of the day, left wing.

As such, it is of critical importance to influence the CPP in any possible way, whether it be through indirect funding to more suitable members of the CPP (preferably via NGOs, think tanks, or other avenues of plausible deniability), or through supporting their campaigning (refer to above for preferred methods). Above all, all assets should be instructed on two things. Reducing any traces of Xsampan meddling to acceptable parameters (that is, as little as possible) and nudging the CPP towards positions more aligned with Xsampa, whether domestically or foreign policy wise. The goal is not to turn the CPP into a communist party. It's to make sure that they don't turn against Xsampa. 

Above all, the CPP must be mapped out. Internal factions (it is worth finding members who are firmly pro Xsampa and those who are as close to anti Xsampa) must be boosted, and supported with resources, look into any potential financial weaknesses (in this context, incredibly unlikely due to the mainstream nature of the CPP), media reach, and internal party culture. Finally, any organs of the CPP must be identified and supported. Associated unions, newspapers, think tanks, so on and so forth. A party is a living organism. All aspects of it must be approached.

Above all, the goal is not to foster a Revolution in Egelion, sow instability or topple the monarchy. The goal is not to convert the CPP into a workers party. The goal is to ensure that the CPP is pro Xsampa. The CSS will be instructed to make sure that all assets stick to strict protocol adherence.
