As external forces rapidly expand and lay claims to the Pacific, and ergo, the Sacred Blue Land, many of our experts and informed citizens become weary for Bikini Bottom. Various events have led Supreme Leader Eugene Krabs to declare a state of national danger due to direct threat to Authority. We are starting to mobilize 170,000 infantry into various bases all around Bikini Bottom and are starting to train and specialize them in camps. More fish are also being enlisted. The Head of Propaganda has been restored to SpongeBob, now warning our fish to listen to the orders of Mr. Krabs in case of an emergency. Head of Research Sandy Cheeks has decided to invest more on factories to mass-produce our equipment, such as our cost-effective kelp wheel tanks, our Pepper X artillery, and hyper-acidic spicy ketchup condiment ammunition, with the help of our Krusty Workforce. We are also investing in new technologies, such as hydro-radars, armored jellyfish, protein-loaded war Patties, and robots. We are heavily fortifying our Bikini Atoll Island, building things like hesco bastions, dry moats and gabion baskets. Finally, we are building some military camps hidden in the jungles of the Marshallese islands, to expand our influence. Our economy can afford all this due to Mr. Krabs’ cheapskatiness. Soldiers get paid 100 shells, are able to be fed and sustained merely by the specialized war Patties and kelp shakes, have to pay for their own healthcare, use cost-effective PASGT helmets and attire, and are extremely motivated by SpongeBob’s propaganda, efficient due to natural anchovy gullibility. The most expensive part is only the weapons themselves, in which a sizable amount of our war budget goes there.
