11. Conditions

| Article 77-Economy | ||
| 77.1 | Economy | |
| The health of the economy of both the enemy and the state are a critical element in the conditions of war. |
||
| While the morality of war may be called into question, war itself initially invigorates economies and casts aside the fat and wasteful laziness of general commerce. An economy primed for war produces great ranges of supplies and services which the government pays for, which in turns generates jobs and extra stimulus in the economy. |
||
| 77.2 | The danger of long protracted wars and the economy | |
| Why a call to war and a short or medium war can expand economic growth and stimulate jobs and wealth at home, a long and protracted war involving substantial losses will strip the economy of wealth, growth and assets. | ||
| A war machines is like a giant coal fired bellows, which when it starts, provides great heat and movement. But when the coal runs out after a protracted war, soon the tables and chairs of the home have to be burnt to keep it going. | ||
| Therefore, long war for the good of the economy must be avoided at all cost. | ||
