The Kingdom of Vermmeria would like to announce that we shall be increasing our military spending this year from 7.28 billion to 9.27 billion. We have numerous reasons for this decision, but mainly we are particularly worried about our neighbouring countries. We have seen large amounts of military production and we wish to follow suit, so that we do not fall behind and become an easy and obvious target for any nation thinking of attacking us. And to those nations I send a warning from our Lord President himself:
''Yo, you screw with Vermmeria, you screw with me! Yo don wanna screw with me!''
Thank you for your cooperation. For those not pledging their cooperation, read the quote above several more times.
