I suspect he would say it's like law enforcement as Vlad depicts it, only *more so* -- more speeches by the Emperor about the importance of public morality, more announcements of public crackdowns on all sorts of vice, more public busts by the Guard of various entrepreneurs who haven't made the proper contributions, or who had the misfortune to make them to the wrong faction of the Organization. And, as a result, higher prices, tighter control by the Jhereg, and more money flowing into their coffers. See Vlad's comments to Ensign T___ (what was her name again?) towards the end of Orca, about the relation between the Organization and the Empire; Paarfi's comments on the nature of the transition to a Jhereg reign; and the deal struck between Greycat and the redheaded Jhereg in the middle of _FHYA_. -- Greg
