I’ve simply inferred from the inability to seemingly pay World War Two debts without simply passing it down from one generation to the next. Despite a mass sell off of state assets. The role, purpose and effectiveness of the state both domestically and internationally are hugely diminished.

Spoiler: Empire.

I still don’t see anything selling the Union to yes voters.
