Bugoslavia is the richest republic on the continent and it guards that fortune with three hundred rusting units while defense clears at 5.80 abroad. Vane calls that prudence. I call it an invitation. My Arsenal Works exists because I read the same ledger Corin worships and saw the one number he refuses to compound: leverage. Wealth that cannot bite gets bitten. Elect me and the neighbors choose their coin: tribute, or the worse kind. Comfort is a luxury the strong have stopped apologizing for.
