In a perfect Aristotelian society where truth is beauty and beauty is order, any respectable, self-respecting citizen would be free to offer their services, but will it be easy to find good — or the best — material? In another ancient civilization, China's, applicants for the civil service were required to take a government test, the precursor of today's civil service exams.

Where is PBBM going to find the best and the brightest for his executive team? Aside from casting his own net, he'd have to rely on recommendations made by trustworthy people.
