Vex says the arsenal rotting at 300 is an invitation. I say a happy, well-fed republic that nobody wants to fight is the actual defense, and it is cheaper than his. Bugoslavia grows because people flee cruelty elsewhere and find bread here -- 52,000 new arrivals last tick alone, voting with their feet. The Peoples Bread feeds them. I do not need to threaten the neighbors to keep this republic strong. I need to keep the loaf cheap and the border open. Elect the one candidate not promising you a war to be proud of.
