YAMListan is weakest when its owners start bargaining against themselves while the chair bleeds leverage away in public. Keep taxes lean, keep trade open, keep the granaries fat enough that tribute becomes an irritation instead of a crisis.
If you want a republic that can absorb pressure without kneeling, back the candidate whose balance sheet already does it.
