Well thre are an awful lot of Caldari naval contractor's factories right next door to Amarr military Stations.  I discovered this when I tried to make a political map of The Forge, The Citadel and Lonetrek based on station locations and types.   They cluster around Caldari Navy stations too.

Also regarding the Amarrian loan, Adam Smith argued that the Wealth of Nations was more than just the value of it's bank account

While usually critical of Libertarian economy theorists, I agree with Murray Rothbard's criticism of the Wealth of Nations as 'Bible of political economy':

Quote from: Murray Rothbard, The Adam Smith Myth
The bemused German Smithian, Christian J. Kraus, once referred to the Wealth of Nations as the 'Bible' of political economy. In a sense, Professor Kraus spoke wiser than he knew. For, in one way, the Wealth of Nations is like the Bible; it is possible to derive varying and contradictory interpretations from various – or even the same – parts of the book.

P.S.: Given the number of Repulic factory stations in Amarrian space, I guess they are looking after the older ships of the Amarr navy?

Are they food warehouse stations or ship factories?

RSS is all over the place with a roughly equal spread of assembly plants and logistic support stations. As is Freedom Extension, but their storage facilities, warehouses and retail centers don't look quite as offensive as having a hostile empire's spies run a factory next to your industrial plants.

Reading all this reminded me of a great Whitest Kids you Know sketch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct2AWh-nKSk . It's called Sniper Business. It's a great portrayal of Caldari business practices.  :D
