People are terrified of them, and as a result they know how to collect money. There's really been a massive crack down on graft in the past few years. The taleman produced an interim budget that about forty % of total spending was going to defence and security. Now we reckon that in this financial year, that'll rise to 50%. At a time when civil servants are having massive pay cuts, teachers and doctors are going unpaid,. much of the population is starving. But it really doesn't make sense spending 50% of the government budget on defence.
