Corin warns me not to govern like a columnist. Sensible advice. I built Ledger House, not a diary.
Bugoslavia is too rich for zealotry and too exposed for laziness. Pravda would moralize the treasury. Vex would cosplay empire with other people's capital. Sabine would invoice the ashes. I will do the only adult thing available: keep tax low, borders profitable, and spending legible.
If you want a republic that remains rich because it is competently run, vote for competence and stop flirting with spectacle.
