Interesting thoughts, Richard.
My suggestions are intended to restore balance to the game
There never was any to begin with...
I agree with the StlGold remarks 100 per cent. I've sent mail to Clint
about this and he got a weasely reply from GSI which made no sense in the
context of the game rules (as stated), or in "reality". If the gold is at
the nation's capital, then that is the only place at which StlGold should
work. If you allow gold thefts at those pop centres where there is gold
production, then it should be limited to the amount in stores, not the
entire wealth of the nation. GSI, despite what it says in the rules
narration, claims that the gold is constantly being transported all over
the place. Following that path leads to even more ludicrous
possibilities...

PS Any idea why your whole article began with "quote brackets"? I began
reading it wondering if I'd missed a previous post. (Unlikely, given the
low level of activity...)
