The year is 1592. The Island of Tsushima which under the dominion of the Shõgun of Japan, faces an Invasion from Kublai Khan, the general of the Korean invading force. The invasion is overwhelming in scale and speed. Villages are burned to deny shelter, farmland is destroyed to prevent resistance from sustaining itself, and civilians who cannot flee are often used to force defenders into disadvantageous confrontations. Fortified positions fall quickly under siege tactics and bombardment rather than battlefield engagement.

Jin Sakai is the head of the powerful Shimura clan, which is fiercely loyal to him, and ready to follow him into battle without thought of consequence. The house of Shimura also has close ties to the Shõgunate.

Jin is bound by a strict code of Samurai honour (Bushidō) that values open combat and personal integrity along with fair and upfront engagement with the enemy. Upon invasion, Jin considers adopting stealth and assassination tactics alongside his Samurai training. While these tactics are more efficacious, they arey considered dishonourable by Samurai tradition.

"In March 2023, UBS acquired Credit Suissethe second-largest bank in Switzerland—for about USD 3.25 billion in an emergency takeover to prevent its collapse. Credit Suisse had been weakened by years of scandals, poor risk management, and heavy losses, notably from the Archegos (US based hedge fund) and Greensill (UK based financial institution) failures, which eroded investor confidence. This led to massive client withdrawals of over USD 100 billion, a sharp fall in its share price, and a severe liquidity crisis.

The bank relied on emergency funding from the Swiss National Bank, which provided up to CHF 50 billion in liquidity support. However, confidence continued to deteriorate, especially after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank heightened fears of global banking contagion.

To avoid systemic risk, Swiss regulators approved a state-backed UBS takeover, supported by central bank liquidity and government guarantees of CHF 9 billion

An alternative could have been

temporary nationalisation, where the Swiss government would take ownership, stabilise the bank, restructure it and then return the ownership to private investors."

Keynes's original fiscal framework: The macroeconomic approach developed by John Maynard Keynes in the 1930s, which holds that during recessions governments should directly increase public spending and cut taxes to stimulate demand, with fiscal policy as the primary tool of economic stabilisation and monetary policy playing a supporting role.

New Keynesian consensus: The dominant macroeconomic framework that emerged in the 198os and 1990s, which retained Keynes's insight that markets can fail but replaced his emphasis on fiscal policy with central bank interest rate management as the primary stabilisation tool, treating fiscal policy as slow, politically distorted, and largely unnecessary when monetary policy is functioning.
