Secured but nagged to build defenses - Why? (White Giant)

The title says all.

All I want to do is build a better country. Fighting/War stuff may come later.

Just ignore them... The newspapers need to tweaked again.

Thank you. But I will still need to build defenses to advance to stage 2 (level?)?

(I meant to ask in original question.)

Yes
25K Missile Interceptor Batteries will do for level 2, and 50K will do up to level 5

Thank you both.
