The Prince 2

Good Idea:
Chapter 10
I think it's a good idea to keep an army at the ready because then no one will dare attack them because they will always be ready. I think it would make the kingdom look stronger and harder to overtake, it would also keep the people feeling safer.

Bad Idea:
Chapter 13
It's not a good idea to borrow troops from another kingdom because their loyalty isn't to that kingdom it's to their own, therefore they wont really help either way. Not a good idea also because if the other king is at all good he will pull his troops out to protect them and then where will they be?
