The Tea Club

The Tea Club is an exclusive social club, political association and powerful lobbying group of British interests. Its members include some of the most influential people in the city of Louiton, including Horatio Le Croix (owner of Le Croix Media and Le Croix Wealth Accruement Services), Sir Eustace Fothrington-Green (the British Special Envoy), Olivier Seeley (owner of OS Industries), and many more. Its activities span social gatherings, political pressuring and art patronage. It is run by an even more select group of members, called the Royal Council which oversee all its activities. The Tea Club no longer excepts new members in order to maintain the excellence and heritage which it has come to be renowned for.

History
The Tea Club was founded in 1879, shortly after the final ceding of territory to the foreign powers. It was meant to function both as a social organisation and as a powerful political tool on the municipal council. Since its founding it has only been open to the elite of the British community in Louiton.

The political power of The Tea Club demonstrated itself in the drafting of the 1947 treaty of international governance, preserving the dominance of both the foreign powers at the municipal council, and the primacy of British Law as the basis for the municipal law of Louiton. It again asserted itself in 1976, when to offset the rise of communist influences in the Legislative Assembly, and the possible granting of a majority to the communists in the municipal council, it pushed for Japan to be re-instated as a foreign power, preventing the takeover of government by forces counter to British interests.

It currently does support incumbent Labour Worker Lord Mayor Tao Ren.

The Palladium Room
The Palladium Room is a homely, british-style tea room and lounge. It is meant to envoke feelings of home for its British guests and the Palladium Room is the jewel in the crown of the Tea Club's Headquarters in the British Quarter.
