Rainbowland is know as a haven for The Resistance, a group of individuals dedicated to searching out and eliminating any attempted corporate incursion with the fanatical zealotry of those who have seen the Truth about Business. They continue to scour the world, searching out all copies of the Five Effective Habits that remain and consigning them to a fiery doom.

-Business Limbo has now become a vibrant, competitive marketplace. The invisible hand of the free market ensures that most business entities can choose from a wide array of available post-life options in an ever-evolving marketplace. Stiff competition results in perpetual innovention and advances in customer care.+Business Limbo has now become a vibrant, competitive marketplace, where stiff competition results in perpetual innovention and advances in customer care. The invisible hand of the free market ensures that most post-business consumers can choose from a wide array of available post-life options in an ever-evolving marketplace. Gone are the old days of the death-monopoly, now the path to the afterlife is a tunnel of light, covered in advertisements for post-vital services and products. At its end sits two great Lights, one of Dante Inc. and the other of Pyramid Inc. each offering big big savings on purgatory getaways and business-class reincarnation packages offering the best in leg-room and leg-number.

“...and I passed into the final sphere and most glorious was it. With spires of gold and white all aglow with light, and an 18-hole executive golf-course sitting betwixt the clouds, with greens most tended.

The Foreign Market Expert. In splendor the figure consulted with his clients, a source of management wisdom I never thought to behold and in turn I was brought before him and was told to revitalise my core-strategic philosophy with a market-reorienting, synergy maximising efficiency drive focused on the use of high-turnover external consultants to reap profits most mega.

 +===V. Peel & D. Camber===
 +It is said that beyond the veil of death, where every investor must be parted from their portfolios and where pensions may not tread there sits upon a black throne within a sombre boardroom the CEO of Dante Inc. A god who pulled himself up from the bottom and with wise investments and sound business strategy revolutionised the moribund morbid marketplace. Of course even the most puissant business deity relies upon a competent and results focused team behind them and Mr Camber is no exception and many who have passed into his bleak realm have noticed the second figure, sitting at a desk beside the throne, who takes Mr Camber's calls and arranges his calendar, and who is ever ready with a silver sword in one hand and a warm brain in the other.

 +They gather outside the office, business ninja’s keen to close the deal swiftly with Mr. Camber. The first approaches, forms in hand, but she sends him flying in a whirl of paper cuts. The second draws a sharp looking paperknife which she deftly deflects. The third seeks to confuse her with an avalanche of envelopes but she sees a tell-tale weight in one and ducks out of the way, as the intern draws forth a staple gun and fires. She concludes her business with them swiftly and satisfactorily.

 +The door opens…

 +“Trouble Miss Peel?”

 +She spiralled in figures and numbers, transactions as nerves while flying on spreadsheet wings. The Canadian start ups looked rather sickly but the Great Wall ™ stood strong and rental rates were very good on turtle island. Yiggdrasil’s adverts flickered neon bright but ‘charitable enterprises’ featured far too heavily. Her sigh was all discarded rebates and tax returns as she headed back towards Dante Inc. Headquarters. The pineapple market was in decline however, and Mangolian uptake of soul contracts (10 reincarnations for an all new low inclusive price) was on the up. Perhaps things weren’t looking that bad after all.
