You wanted to be an empire. You wanted to have vassals all over the world that will suck your dick and tell you how awesome you are. Well, this is the price. You take the money from imperial center and redistribute it to the peripheral regions to buy their loyalty, aka Japan, S.Korea, Taiwan and EU in the form of your gigantic military expenditure that enables us to have our +30 days of vacation, social net and welfeare programs.

Your poverty is your choice. You wanted this empire. Now, shut up and "protect" me from Russia. Lol.
