“My country is neutral, by damn!
And yet my consignment of ham
Has been seized in this war,
And destroyed, what is more!“
“Angary?” “Hell, I sure am!”

Angary is the legal right of a belligerent to seize, use, or destroy the property of a neutral. Fortunately for the speaker, full compensation has to be made.
