Benito has raised taxes across the CSE-E in order to raise extra funds for the military. Its thought Benito is trying to raise an extra 400 million zarks in order to form 2 extra armoured brigades and 3 air attack squadrons. These units would be part of the HCS-E but would not be removeable back to the West.
The tax rises however are proving unpopular with the already hard pressed population on Austini 55 and Woloron 12, riots have been reported in 3 cities already.
