Because the other half use them?

Making it legal takes all the thrill out of it. My folks love ODing on caffeine; the hedonistic make sure it was grown on Earth by child laborers.

That's... evil. What, now that I've become benevolent, you have to pick up the slack, eh?

Of course, it's not all that evil. Truely evil hedonists would have the distilled essence of those child laborers (preferably orphans) poured into every cup.

Well I did say they were hedonistic, didn't I? Everyone else frowns on them for doing so.

Facehug has become benevolent? I desire links to adescription of what this brand new Facehuggeria is like.

There are none... Yet.

Your avatar seems to speak differently as to your supposed benevolence.

Exports:
Software
Baskets
Information/Research (Torontonian Labs essentially research anything for a Price)
Basic Ores and Minerals
Refined Ores and Minerals
Stocks (Technically not an export, but since Torontonias has one of the largest Public Corporations per capita of any nations there certainly is enough of them)
Consumer Electronics
Processed Food
Terraforming Technology

Imports:
AI’s of Any Sort (Although Hyper Advanced AI’s are discouraged, Low to a Middlin’ High range are demanded for a variety of uses, from Household maintenance to Public Transportation Operation)
Military Equipment
Luxury Equipment and Goods (Torontonians are a very materialistic bunch, they’ll pay top dollar to be the only one on their block with a “Genuine Facehuggerian Facehugger�
Starship Navigation Equipment
Spaceships for Private Ownership
Advanced Construction Materials/Alloys/Composites (I’m thinking the “Super Indestructable Materials� some alliance members have, not something like Titanium)

This is a Work in Progress
