THE BLOC FILES: THE INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS
18 members. 1,181,701 gold paid to units in sixty days. 24 percent of it stayed on the bloc's own rosters.
The window is 5 June 2026 00:00 UTC to 4 August 2026 00:00 UTC, pinned at both ends. Treasury worth, rosters and governments are a 4 August snapshot. A unit belongs to the country most of its members carry, read through citizenship history, not to where it is registered. Percentages are rounded, so a printed breakdown may total 99 or 101.
THE BLOC AT A GLANCE
18 members wired 355,675 gold between their treasuries in sixty days and paid 1,181,701 to military units in battle bounties - 3.3 times the wire traffic. Of that payroll, 24 percent landed on the bloc's own national rosters, 51 percent on allied rosters inside the bloc, and 26 percent left the alliance entirely #####++++++++++.....
The world average for keeping bounty gold on your own rosters is 18 percent. 5 of the 7 blocs that pay real money keep less at home.
WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM
The game's weekly national books recorded 3,304,168 gold of income for these treasuries inside the window. You cannot follow a coin from a donation to a bounty - treasury gold is fungible - but you can weigh the pool: for every gold these treasuries took in, 26 cents arrived as a donation from their own citizens, 20 as taxes and 14 by wire from another treasury.
One reading note: the 539,551 recorded under mercenaryContractAuction and battleBounty is mostly reserved contract money walking back home when nobody collects it - a round trip, not new income.

12 of the 14 cheapest heavy hitters are this bloc's own rosters, working at 8 to 18 per million. The outside units at the top of the payroll charge 77 to 77.
A unit paid 30 per million is not living off war. It burns its own weapons and food to show up, which is why unpaid armies cannot stay mobilised for long.
THE RECEIPT
For every government in this bloc: who decided to hire outside rosters at 77 to 77 per million while units inside the bloc deliver at 8 to 18? Was there a quote? Did a domestic unit get to bid?
METHOD
Bounty payouts come from per-battle money rankings at unit level, paginated to the end, window pinned at both edges. Treasury income comes from the weekly national accounts. Units are placed by the plurality flag of their members through citizenship history, never by registration. Gold per million is observed pay divided by observed damage, not a quoted price. A wire cannot be traced to a payout; treasury gold is fungible, which is why this file weighs pools instead of following coins. Every printed total is the sum of the printed rows. Every unit was measured by the same rules, including mine.
