Foreign motor companies have mastered the art of making materials cheaper, faster, and harder so it would seem prudent to invite them to design equipment for us!

    Since the death of Józef Piłsudski, the Sanation government has been fragmented and disorganized. The government has split into three branches: The Castle, the Sanation Left, and the Sanation Right. It’s uncertain if the Castle can maintain control of the dictatorship, but the government must leave this state of indecision soon if it is to have any hope of withstanding the oncoming storm of war.

    Loyal to Walery Sławek, the Sanation Left represents those who feel Sławek is the true successor to Piłsudski and seek accommodation with the opposition, rather than ostracising them from government entirely as the Right and Castle would. Though cooperation with them will likely upset the Sanation Right, the leftists hold internal power that we need to build a competent cabinet of ministers.
