I do not fully understand what "is Union" does. Is Union my superclass? 
Do I have to say something like too?

class ForeignProject
  is Union
  property :santa, String
end

Could I still query for all Projects and get both Foreign and Domestic? Do 
Foreign and Domestic share primary keys?

Here again I do not understand what Union is. Is it a ruby class? Sorry, I 
am not an expert...

That is my bad... I was influenced by the naming of the tables, and 
thought for a moment that the column names were prefixed bye 'og'
