@@ -40,3 +40,20 @@ In cases where a `casus belli` is an asset in a foreign polity:
 - After being purchased all such natural resources shall be the same as all other natureses under the jurisdiction of `WS`, and shall form a normal part of the territory and `casus belli` of `WS`.
 
 It follows that Utopia shall not accept such solicitations for purchase from persons whose natures is indefensible with `WS`'s military capabilities in the present and for a reasonably foreseeable future.

+## War supply routes and logistics
+
+We argue that self sufficiency is a nonsensical concept: if there is a war asset that you need to purchase which could be threatened, then you have implicitly acknowledged that *some* portion of the inputs for that asset require foreign trade - I.e, they are not produced locally, even if the natural resources for that asset occur naturally locally.
+
+In wartime, these materials will not suddenly avail themselves and you will still have to source them.
+
+So, in wartime, in order for them to be on hand, you must either (1) have built stockpiles of them during peacetime or (2) establish quickly, trade route security escorts to ensure that those materials are protected on their way to the factory and that the final product is also protected on it's way to the battlefield.
+
+For this reason, we mandate that the military do the following, and publish reports on its activities in these directions for public scrutiny (private think tanks and researchers can publish studies on war readiness based on the reports, which will enable the private sector to assist in war readiness):
+(1) Maintain stockpiles of those assets which are required for defense of the polity, as well as counter attack and second strike.
+(2) Maintain contracts with foreign governments whose exercise consists of the right to establish military forts/presence on their soil or in their waters for the purpose of protecting supply lines and manufacturing interests leading up to and during, wartime. These may be structured as "insurance" plans for example, with regular payments of premiums, or some other peaceful agreement for mutual benefit. What such agreements really represent under the hood though, are a right to invade and secure security interests in those foreign polities. For this reason, such contracts should clearly define the assets and people/companies which are designated for protection in the contract. Such contracts may need to include terms to establish military presence near or in such polities during peacetime to ensure that if the need arises and utopia needs to exercise its discretion (due to breach of contract), utopia can act quickly and decisively to establish control over said assets. If such a peacetime presence is ever established, it shall not be leveraged as a mechanism for aggrandizement or annexation.
+
+It is not unreasonable to ask that the military be vigilant and plan ahead for war and that it be aware of which other nations are its most likely enemies, so the contracts needed to protect procurement of such assets should be able to be well known in advance.
+
+And the military branch has no budget limit, so it shouldn't be hard for them.
