Polymer Corp itself is a fascinating origination. Created in ww2 to create synthetic rubber - which the Germans had all of the ip of - it was a wildly successful research to commercialization entity. It was so successful after the war it was considered too important to privatize and it stayed as a crown corp for decades.

I believe they even did a run of $10 celebrating it.
