Yesterday's quiet held firm through the night and into the day. No ports have changed hands, no fresh assaults have been queued, and the administrators have remained mercifully absent from the ledgers. The Caribbean, it seems, has drawn another long breath—though whether in anticipation or merely exhaustion remains an open question. The treasuries, however, tell a more turbulent tale. Great Britain's net revenue has climbed by 127,431 reals to stand at 1,352,036 across her thirty-two holdings, whilst France and the Pirates have both retreated. The Pirate coffers, in particular, have suffered a calamitous forty-per-cent collapse, shedding 235,755 reals to reach 354,593—a reminder that dominion over nineteen ports is no guarantee of prosperity. At the clan level, ACDC's British interests command the archipelago's foremost revenue engine at 427,085 reals, with NSCN's French holdings close behind at 419,720. LVTN rounds out the triarchy of wealth at 389,689 reals, whilst CFS and MORC maintain formidable positions at 295,803 and 208,939 respectively. The shifting of coin amongst the realm's masters continues apace, yet the powder keg remains unlit—for now.
