“Relationship between state and its parts is like relationship between lions and the jungle. If its parts are ruined, the state will lack of food. If there is no strong instrument of the state, invaders will easily attack it. Manage and defend both of them and my command will be successfully accomplished."
(Hayam Wuruk, King of Majapahit, 14th Century)
