Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war.

The best known Lillorainian company is Rottscheid Bräu, the nation's biggest brewery. It produces about a dozen Pilsner brands all over the islands - also, they produce a Kölsch variant named Kääksch (derived from the city of Kerkenich). For a few years, they also produce Rosswiele Rum, a rum brand with sweet woodruff flavor and a tiny shot of absinthe each bottle. They also produce a number of liquors.
The annual sales amount of the company in 2017 was 634,230,000 Lillorainian Marks.
Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore. Until there's a new, proper factfile, everything you might need to know can be found here. Thank you. #RetconOfDoom (Very late update, 2020/08/30 - it's still going on ...)

Probably Faro Automated Solutions. Faro Automated Solutions was founded by Ted Faro. Nobody really knows when. In its early years, the company was successful with its popular lines of personal servitors, but it was overshadowed by then-industry giants such as General Synthetics and RECorp. During the climate crisis that started almost immediately after Oceania was founded, which is as far back as anyone remembers, FAS made its greatest success with the introduction of green robots and its environmental cleanup and detoxification efforts led by Dr. Elisabet Sobeck. By 1972, FAS was widely credited with helping the climate crisis and became the world's wealthiest corporation, with a record market capitalization of over $23 trillion.

But by the end of the 1970s, Faro decided to shift the company's focus on green robotics to the military-industrial complex, and opened FAS's military defense branch, effectively turning FAS into a military contractor. By 1981, FAS controlled 61% of the market share for automated military platforms, holding contracts with Oceania and other corporate entities.

Though Faro Automated Solutions does occasionally break some laws, the government/Big Brother allows it, as they supply the military with an almost endless supply of machines and things to help fight the war against Eastasia.
Big Brother is watching.

Well my nations most famous company was the Nazi Party due to them owning literally every company in Austria Minor and fighting with us and joining us. It’s also the nations rise to power thing and led to Nazi America so the people revere the Nazi’s as god people who live in a cloud.

Hope no one finds that offensive, just playing a little bit too much Wolfenstein.

Blackgrue has a completely state-run economy so there aren't "Companies" per say, but we do have economic groups dedicated to specific design and production work. The most well known is Rhamos Aeronautica, an ancient organization that has its history dating back to the invention of the zepplein. They are most well-known for atmospheric fighter designs, but they have branched out into many other military and civilian vehicle designs including our army's self-propelled artillery; and the Rhamos M2 Starfighter, the primary medium space-based fightercraft of the union.

For the civilian market, they produce the popular "Slipstream" four-door flying-car and the ever-present "Cyclops" Airspeeder-bike.

Here are contenders for Atlantis's most well-known company:

• Argus Retail Corp - retail and property company, akin to the Philippines's SM Prime Holdings, Inc.
• Strega, Inc - originally a shipbuilding company, now also manufactures cars, trucks and aircraft. Its most famous products include the Strega Honus, the most numerous car in Atlantis (and, in our universe, Portugal), the Elysia-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and the upcoming Mod 18 "Phoenix" fighter jet, which claims to be an alternative stealth fighter to the F-35, although not as flexible.
• Atlantean Petroleum Company, Inc - similar to the UK's BP plc

Uses certain NS stats.

Atlantis is an MT nation that is the third richest country in the world, behind only China and the United States. It is closer to the USA, UK, Italy and Spain (in that order, though Italy and Spain is probably tied) culturally than it is Greece. It is also a naval power.

And no, Atlantis is not underwater: It has a land area around the size of France.

Pros: Classical liberalism, democracy, the West, Brexit, Viktor Orban, free education, strong military
Cons: Authoritarianism, fascism, communism, multiculturalism, Islamism

It is difficult to measure fame, so here are three possible answers to this question:

ZWire, a telecommunications company, could be argued as the most famous simply because of its customer base. It has 93% of the landline broadband market and 71% of the mobile phone market. No other company in recorded history has enjoyed a market share as high as 93% in any sector, making ZWire a record breaker.

CrystalSwift, a company developing unusual technologies which many consider to be sorcery, is notorious for its experimentation with quantum teleportation. It has successfully been able to dematerialise and rematerialise both objects and life forms, but unfortunately has not figured out how to actually send them anywhere. Controversy surrounds its current proposals for technology which would allow two people to be dematerialised and then rematerialised as a single new person, as a potential future fix to overpopulation.

Davus Ltd, a weapons manufacturer, is infamous for a disaster in which an experimental weapon blew a crater almost a mile wide into a hillside. Incredibly there were no deaths in the incident, but many have questioned why such a powerful weapon should be tested or even developed in the first place, and many more demanded to know why its testing was allowed to take place in what was one of ZeeeeeWip's recognised national parks.

Arguably the most famous Nortan company domestically is the Royal Shews Compagnie, which was incorporated by Royal Charter in the 1533 as an internationally trading corporation for trade in Nortan wool. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it expanded into the coal business. Nowadays, it holds a monopoly on coal sales through private coal merchants, and on petrol through private fuel merchants, as well as being a large, international shipping company. The Royal Shews Compagnie also owns a very large number of free public houses, all across the Country. Shews Bitter is one of the most popular types of beer (bitter) in the country as well, given its widespread availability in Royal Shews Compagnie public houses.

The company's distinctive flag consisting of an inverted Nortan flag is well known across Nortan as a symbol for fuel merchants.

Megatron Energon

Privately owned by Leader Megatron, this company is Cybertron's largest as well as its most essential. It is also the most famous company in the Empire thanks to the ubiquitous billboards, holovision ads, and other advertising - all of which feature Leader Megatron either holding out a Cube of Energon or standing near a pile of Cubes. This company has a good reputation. It is essential not just as the only company big enough to keep up with the Decepticon Nation's massive fuel demands, but because its purchases of the oil we raid is what drives the economy.

Despite its great reputation here, foreigners hate Megatron Energon. That's because of its staunch support for the aforementioned oil raiding. Some delude that if this company insisted on buying only legally-purchased oil from its sources, that raiding would stop. The reality is that Megatron would be thrown out, and a raider-friendly replacement installed - and the raiding would go on. Fortunately, everyone here knows this, so there will be no such upheavals.

Megatron Metals

The "evil sibling" of Megatron Energon, Megatron Metals is also privately owned by the Leader. It provides almost all of the metal used for Decepticon bodies and parts. It's a gritty, callous company that has a negative reputation, though no one dares to insult it or push for change/social justice, lest they become part of its stock - after premature meltdown.

What gives Megatron Metals its nasty reputation? Simply put, many of the things that would be considered truly bad come from here. Through a web of affiliated foundries, mines, and other operations, it is responsible for driving Leader Megatron's rougher policies, including:

- Slavery. Most slaves work for mines whose sole customer is Megatron Metals. Without M. E. buying their ore, these mines would close.
- All peripheral services that surround slavery, from capturing wild humans to productivity and loyalty-focused biological research, are also dependent on the demand created by the mines that work with Megatron Metals.
- The meltdown of the weak. Megatron Metals only deals with foundries that explicitly accept metal from ALL sources. That includes living, weak Decepticons who have been captured and brought in against their will. This furthers Leader Megatron's policy of providing "the utmost incentive to avoid obsolescence."
- Like all other Decepticon industry giants, this company is a monopoly. Every mass-produced part, from body panels to the tiniest bolt, uses its metal. No one can boycott it unless they own a private foundry AND can refine metals to the proper level of purity for use in Decepticon bodies. Bottom line: Either you buy parts made from Megatron Metals metal, or you die of mechanical failure.

The Decepticon Parts Company

The only huge company NOT owned by Leader Megatron, the Decepticon Parts Company is known for its high-quality body parts. It stands out against its tiny and pathetic competitors, who produce garbage in comparison. There's a Decepticon Parts store in every town, and the cities have several outlets each.

Due to their business, they are Megatron Metals' biggest customer, but it is widely understood that this is just a result of necessity rather than an explicit endorsement of its supplier's ways. Decepticon Parts itself is likely the most like a big Earthian company of old (long before social activism was seen as a corporate thing to do). It makes no statements on politics or social issues, its owner keeps his private life tightly private, and it presents itself as Neutral/Neutral at all times. When it comes to public relations, its singular focus is on its quality and on making sure everyone knows that its parts are good (good as in high-quality), and that any competitor's product is not.

Unlike many companies that advertise that their product is far better than the rest, Decepticon Parts Company is telling the truth. Many independent studies have verified that they have the longest-lasting, most battle-resistant, and most defect-free body parts on the market.

Like other huge Decepticon businesses, this one is a monopoly except for a few two-bit local shops, and is willing to use Mafia-style force to keep it that way. That, however, isn't seen as a negative except by would-be competitors. It's just how everyone on Cybertron does business. Even so, it likely has the most wannabe-competitors of these three companies since parts are a HUGE market here (akin to medical supplies on advanced biological worlds) - and, importantly, it is not as dangerous to try since this company's Market Share Protection Force is not made up of off-duty elite troops.
No war RPs; no open RPs.

Postby Strathy » Sat May 05, 2018 10:02 am

The two best known companies within Strathy, and indeed both the largest and oldest, are the Royal Strathan Trading Corporation and the Royal Dockyards of Glaschu. Both have their roots in the early days of the Empire, being founded in the very earliest times of Strathy, albeit under different names.

The Royal Strathan Trading Corporation traces its roots back to the 'Royal Company of Traders in the Strathan Empire', founded by Padraig I MacDhomhnaill in 8BCE, as a means to expand Strathan trading influence around the world. The Company set up trading posts in various far-off lands, eventually growing to cities and becoming the basis for some of the first colonies of the Empire in its earliest years. During the War of the Treaty in the 3rd Century, the Treaty of FitzPeter would set up their own rival company, the 'Honourable Company of Traders in the Stewartsic Isles', taking trade away from the rest of the Empire. Following the conclusion of the war, in 281CE, the companies were merged together to form the 'Royal and Honourable Company of Traders in the Strathan Empire'. This company would later become the sole governing body of Strathan international trade, becoming the Royal Incorporation of Traders and Merchants of the Strathan Empire in 1138CE under Alexander II, a title it would retain under 1901. Under Johannes XII in 1901, the Company was merged with the Strathan Internal Customs Offices to also regulate trade within the Empire as well as to and from, changing its name to His Majesty's Royal Trading Company. The was short lived, however, as, in 1919, following the Revolution, it was reorganised once more, being split between external and internal affairs. The external trading affairs of the new United Socialist States of Strathy were not to be managed by the Strathan Trading and Customs Board. It was finally changed back by Peter VI after the Restoration in 2003. Today, it employs more people than the next four largest companies combined and still manages all trade to and from the Empire.

The other company, founded in 15CE was almost created as a result of the former company. The Royal Dockyards of Glaschu were originally commissioned to build ships for and to defend the Company of Traders. Throughout much of Strathy's history, the bay on which Glaschu sits has allowed the Dockyards to build numerous world class vessels for the Company of Traders as well as for the Strathan navy, although that would not be formally tied into the armed forces until under the rule of John II some 300 years later. The Dockyard changed names only three times, first in 1407 by Urramach I to the Royal Shipbuilders to the Strathan Empire, then in 1919 to the Strathan Shipworks in Glaschu, and finally back to the Royal Dockyards of Glaschu in 2007. Since 1976, however, the Dockyards have operated as a constituent part of the Strathan Naval and Aerospace Engineering Group, the Empire's second largest employer and company. The Dockyards, however, still maintain their own unique image as some of the worlds best shipbuilders, constructing warships, cruise liners and everything in between.
