Buzios: Stories

Our Australian company (where I was the CEO) had been investing in Poland, where before the Great Wars my family had lived on its estates for centuries. It had always been respected for the fairness with which its people had been treated and protected. Life became interesting, however, when a new Polish government threatened to expropriate our investment; it was willing, however, to let us remain in a reduced role against the payment of substantial bribes. We refused and the war began.
