- Famine strikes the land, lasting 7 months. The cost of food will increase, up to 100 times its normal price. Normally law-abiding folk will turn to crime in desperation. Farms will produce no income for a year, and only one quarter of their income for the next year. The population will reduce by 5% each month. Fortunately, there is no plague associated with the famine. Unless the government acts effectively to relieve the suffering, there will be Civil War! The land falls into civil war, lasting 4 months.
- A political plot is discovered.The 'discovery' is false, planted evidence. Many officials are banished, fired, or even killed. The turmoil lasts for 1 months.
- A new religion gains many converts. There is frequent, organised violence between followers of the new religion and those who hold to the established practices.
- A major influx of refugees arrive from a neighbouring country. If there is currently a plague, famine, or similar trouble, they will be blamed for it, leading to further trouble and violence.
- Plague strikes the land, lasting 6 months. The population of the area is reduced by 5% each month. While the plague lasts, the cost of imported goods will be 5 times normal, and the price of all other goods will be doubled, as traders refuse to enter the area.
