The colony in Moon is a Harsh Mistress was not a Capitalist private
investment but a Penal Colony established with tax dollars.  Compare it
to Georgia or Australia, not Jamestown or New York.  The Lunies were
either Convicts or their offspring.  The Military Govenor of the Colony
was called the WARDEN, and lived in his own Bubble city, isolated with
all beaurocratic offices from the Rabble--the Prison Population.
