The Theory Behind Our Defense Program

Athamasha

Other than about 60,000 troops for security purposes, Athamasha has no military but yet is one of the best defended countries in the world. How could this be? First, we don't touch things we shouldn't. We never get involved in wars. We're far enough out of the way that we're never really invaded.

That said, the real reason we're so well defended it that we've been spending
about eight percent of our budget a year (http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php?nation=Athamasha&popspec=30&defenseprovided=1&defense=8&militarybudget=1) on NCB weapons. So if you're a small but economically powerful country, adopt the Athamasha plan: build enough ICBM/IPBM nukes, anthrax, von Neumann devices, and nerve gas to destroy two large planets twice over and people will leave you alone.
