 For many years Calder believed the creature he had found — genus ''consortium restrictum culpam caymanium'', the “Common” or “Cayman Exempted” [[Espievie]] — was unique in the world.
 ===Discovery===
-Calder’s, and our, world was repeatedly rocked over the next thirty years as naturalists found variants elsewhere: first, not far from the Caribbean, [[L. B. G. T. Appleby]] discovered the Bermudan reinsurance espievie in 1939.

Since then [[espievies]] have proven robust migrants and flourished in many fiscal climates.

+Then, in 1964, Jersey paleontologist [[Ichabod Mourant]] discovered a colony of “[[Oeic]]s” (the word is derived from the Jèrriais for “imaginary legal entity” and is pronounced “[[Oik]]”) nesting in the archive stacks of Guernsey’s ''Library for the Illiterate''. Since then [[espievies]] have proven robust migrants and flourished in many fiscal climates.
 ===Domestication===
 The [[espievie]] was first bred in captivity in a famous scientific collaboration between [[Calder]] and the [[Maple brothers|Godfrey and Maginot Maple]] brothers, then working in the [[George Ugland]]’s zoological menagerie in [[George Town]]. The site is occupied today by the [[Ugland House]] orphanage, which is headquarters of an industrial breeding programme for [[espievie]]s of all kinds, meaning that the continued survival of this freak of financial biology is, for the foreseeable future, assured.
