It would have been just a small little thing

It does have great defenses and could hold off a large invasion, not that MR could even mount one large enough. Rather than overtax the people here we have Krispy Kreame Donut stores, a brewery, a distillery, and a drug manufacturing plant. It is amazing how much of the stimulus money from MR has already flowed in to this area. From the published reports, it seems that we have already gotten over two-thirds of it.
This means that we can afford the finest defensive hardware -- not that we would need much against your sling-shots, hula-hoops, and frisbee throwers. We just completed our new digital television station and satellite relay system so if you can find the funds we will be happy to sell you some bandwidth to replace your 56k dial-up Internet service that the palace is currently using. (Yes, we have spies there too.)
This week's special is a dozen glazed for $2.50. Cash only. No IOUs or credit.

Sounds pretty good.

Neko, you are more than welcome. Your simple affirmation is all that is required since it would be taken with an open heart. From you I have no doubt that that is true.
There are no formal titles or job descriptions, people do what needs to be done and then go back to their normal lives. No one here makes a profession out of governing.

Oh, I like your place. May I build my vacation home there instead?
