              You mean in Russia? A lot of it, and I mean A LOT, is going legit as we speak. It is a big country and it will take time, but i'd guess that in 5 years, given no major change in policy, they will be similar to Lithuania 5 years ago.

                        One of which we'd like to annex, the other 2 to make our vassals. Still objecting?

                          Nope. We'll see you in the field in Poland. The Tannenberg score so far is 1:1, our turn to win

                            I think I've cracked this

                            Some countries emphasise the freedom to do things - like own a gun

                            Other countries emphasise freedom from things - like people who own guns

                              AH: there's that, but there's also the whole idea of "freedom from the state" vs "freedom from abuse". The Anglo-Saxon liberalism, especially the American brand, emphasizes on the former. This is why the US keeps its gun laws despite an absurd homicide rate, this is why the Yanks con't tolerate state censorship but accept private censorship, this is why much fewer Yanks than Euros are outraged by economic exploitation, etc.

                              In Europe, the law is more often seen as a valuable way to avoid being abused by other people from the society. As such, there's less distrust toward the state's power.

                                Belgium is corrupt? Do describe.
                                I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
