Works magic on building the weak's subservience"''

->This practice was one of [[EmperorScientist Klaus]]'s more radical innovations, and one of his most effective ones. It relied upon the simple truth that most of the soldiers in a [[MadScientist rogue Spark]]'s army were not there out of any great loyalty to said Spark but because they did not want to be turned into fish (or whatever). That said, there is camaraderie and comforting routine in military life that many young men enjoy, and the chance to be a part of the Winning Side has a strong allure. Thus the army of the Empire was one of the few in history that got larger with every battle it fought.

->As with other [[MegaCorp Pentex subsidiaries]], the overwhelming majority of [[PunchClockVillain employees]] at the various [[EvilCorp King companies]] have no idea that they're doing anything other than producing cheap booze. They come in for shifts, work hard to get product out the door, and go home clutching their slightly-below-industry-standard paychecks without the vaguest inkling that they're doing anything worse than foisting [[ATankardOfMooseUrine yet another mass-produced American pisswater beer]] on the unsuspecting public. That is, of course, precisely the way [[CorruptCorporateExecutive upper management]] likes it, and it's part of why King is so successful. By constantly fostering a crisis mentality among its employees with constant exhortations about vanishing market share (false), shrinking profit margins (true), and impending layoffs or reorganizations (always a possibility these days), [[BadBoss management keeps its workers in constant terror of unemployment or worse]]. That keeps the production staff working at fever pitch to pump out more booze, frantic to get it on shelves, and everyone too afraid for their jobs to ask for raises, improved working conditions and the like.
