I am currently mid-playthough and there is one Andrew Ryan quote that caught my attention:

You mean the place with 45 weirdos and a bunch of money laundering and tax evasion? They just import workers from real Honduras outside the “agreement of co-existence.” Not gonna have the same option on Mars.
