Para 2: ~35 words.
Total: ~95 words.
Problem: The prompt requires 180-260 words. I must expand using only the provided facts without inventing anything.

If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 180 words without being extremely repetitive or "fluffy," but the instructions say "Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose." If I repeat facts to hit a word count, it's not good prose. However, I must follow the word count constraint.
