The Han did try to make peace with the Xiongnu Confederation. It didn't work, Xiongnu tribes continued to raid Northern China in spite of Han paying tribute regularly and marrying off imperial princesses to the leader of the Xiongnu. The steppe nomads at that time depended on plunder from China south of the Great Wall and Central Asia as much as they depended on their herds of cattle and sheep. The only true lasting peace between the Han and Xiongnu came when the Han cut off the the Xiongnu from all their sources of tribute, and effectively caused the confederation to collapse and the tribes to descend into internal conflict.

The Stellaris pop system is not like the Victoria pop system at all, so I don't see how that game's performance is relevant.
And people say that you have to respect her writing skills regardless of her shitty views. Her writing is lower than a sewer rat's ball sack.
This confused person thinks the leader of Hamas is Big Boss... "Start a war, fan the flames, create victims, then save them, train them, and feed them back onto the battlefield."
