I know what you mean, since when is Pan one of the weakest military nations?!?
I think Steerpike is saying that because you 2 were the first to go to war with somebody (Ulm). Thus you are the 2 strongest nations. I'm surprised Jotunheim is not upset by that statement. Or even Pasha Mama. So who took out Caelum, wouldn't they be considered the greatest nation since they were the first to conquer someone else?
And I think "folded like a deck of cards" is not quite accurate. Maybe "took 1 step forward and 3 steps back" is a better analogy. I'm down, but not out. Yet.
