			== The Arms Culture of Gondara ==
			Gondaran society is defined by a deep-seated respect for mechanical precision and personal defense. This "Arms Culture" is not merely about firepower, but about the stewardship of high-value technology and the responsibility of the Citizen.

			* '''The Household Armory:''' It is a point of pride for a Gondaran home to display the family’s service weapons. These are not kept in crates, but are maintained in "Line-Ready" condition. It is a common Sunday tradition in many Parishes for Citizens to conduct "Cleaning and Timing" rituals together.
			* '''Precision as a Virtue:''' Because Gondara pays a premium for roller-cam bolts and high-pressure ballistics, the populace views marksmanship as a high art form. Local Parish competitions focus on extreme long-range accuracy and mechanical troubleshooting under stress.
			* '''The "Ate the Cost" Philosophy:''' The Government views the 50% subsidy of service weapons as a "Defense Grant." The cost of the R&D is considered "Paid" the moment a Citizen-soldier completes their service, as the State has gained a permanent, decentralized defender.
