    I actually think government should be in some amount of debt as it means they are actively building new stuff for the people but also like only a little and because of infrastructure development not just military budget bloom for billion dollar planes that dont get built.

      That would be nice.
      But then you get another outside government to come and annex them.

      search for China annexes Nepal - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-60288007

      I didn’t read this particular article. It just came from a search and my words are from memory.
      This is only for convenience in case you are being lazy to search.

      Ideally you[1] have to manage the 2 parameters:

      • profitability for anyone trying to annex the country
        • Your military power needs to scale with GDP and exploitable geographical resources to protect from outside threats
        • But the more money/power the government gets, the greater the internal threat (corruption mostly)
      • QoL of citizens

      1. problem being, there is no “you” that will manage that ↩︎
