C'mon, they're available for free in Amsterdam! You gotta know about that...

Dang, your Lunar Empire must be run by the US Dept of Agriculture: "We'll pay you not to grow wheat on your farm". Sign me up! I have 100 acres of prime Not-Growing-Wheat land.

Most people's Lunar Empire would say "If we find even *one* of you over there, we'll firebomb your village, sell you all into slavery, and eat your cows" (the last being the worst part of the threat, of course).
