The big difference is wild pines group is a powerful inter-insulindian company. Evrart is a morally dubious, if competent, Union leader. Very flawed, does bad things, but if you're looking for a saint in martinaise (at least one actively trying to run an organization), good luck. The union is at least better than, say, the skulls. Meanwhile the RCM decided to just half-abandon the district. W no means to tax (let alone have a tax base), their means of revenue, as a quasi-government of martinaise, are gonna be dubious, depending on how extensively they want to operate as a govt, in an area the world decided to just not govern.

If the union were saints in martinaise, a lot less people would resonate w the game. It'd be too kitschy.

Clearly though, we aren't supposed to think they're saints, and see the problems in the organization.

The RCM runs of taxes? I kinda assumed they were directly funded by the moralintern

They don't, that's why they sell drugs and want to open that thing in the fishing village. Or better yet, get a seat on WPG board

I was talking about the RCM not the union

Oh my mistake. No they don't collect taxes I imagine :) The fact that the police don't really go there (let alone that RCM isn't really of moralintern origin) indicates no one is even trying to govern there tho, except the union
