Machiavellian Blues

My dear reader,

There is a great chance that you and I have never met. This is not surprising given the fact that we both live in different worlds, obeying different rules and living different lives. The community I attend to is in many ways unusual to yours, yet we are connected by some basic principles that unite the foundation of our societies. The world I live in is a most efficient and productive institution, a streamlined network of workforces contributing to a successful society. My establishment might thus be different to yours, yet it is not by a misplaced sense of superiority that I wish to provide you with a concise overview of this utmost successful institution.
