It is based on one simple subsidiarian, patriarchal principle: "Don't Make Me Come Over There". Aggression between or against his client states is not allowed, nor is the possession of any Other technology.

Through the enforcement of this policy, Wulfenbach's empire has grown from his ancestral seat to encompass over half of Europa.
