The other members of the Founding Party moved to Sur-la-Clef and invented modern corporate finance. Their names may still be found on the pediments of some of the largest investment banks in the world.

"But in a practical sense, it's the responsibility of the Ethics Division to ensure that both organisations are working toward the same ends."
The Ethics Division is the branch of the RCM that coordinates activities with the Coalition. It's composed of high-ranking RCM officials and their medium-ranking Moralintern counterparts. It's considered a career-making assignment for elite RCM officers.

They criticise the Dolorian project for accepting and integrating new peoples rather than forcefully subjugating them..."
