As past occupiers of our island attempted to impose a rigid legal framework, the Corsican people responded by strengthening their own traditional justice system based on the Vendetta. While viewed as lawlessness by outsiders, this is a sophisticated social mechanism of honor and self-regulation. It creates a culture where the individual is responsible for his own protection and that of his kin, leading to a populace that is universally armed and tactically proficient. This 'Culture of the Long Memory' means that any offense is met with a generational blood-feud. In a national context, this means making the cost of occupation by foreign troops prohibitively expensive in both coin and lives.
