MEGACORP
MEGACORP is a faction/nation based roleplay where players assume the roles of megacorporations in a dystopian-esque cyberpunk universe. Players must cut deals with other megacorporations, nations and forge temporary alliances to gain leverage and financial superiority over their corporate rivals, all the while trying to maintain order and profitability.
Set in the year 2091, the current landscape has changed dramatically. The political machinations are largely irrelevant, as megacorporations wield more political, economic and military power than most nations alone. Profit, corporate espionage and the board of directors run the world now.

The World, as of January, 2091
Note: MEGACORP is an economic/political/warfare simulator in a cyberpunk world where things like cloning, androids, artificial intelligence, virtual currency and biotechnology are the norm. Citizens are viewed almost exclusively as customers and profits--whether through corporate espionage or innovation--is the ultimate goal.
Drop some interest here.
Mechanics
- Major Industries: Each megacorporation can adopt various major industries to take under it's umbrella of expertise.
- Artificial Intelligence: The utilization of machine intelligence that can not only replicate tasks already accomplished by humans but rather adapt and learn from them has nearly no limits. That being said, A.I. is stupendously expensive.
- Weapons: Development of small arms as well as Mobile Frames, vehicles and technologies for combat applications is nearly endless. There is never a soldier that isn't looking for a new shiny weapon or a war for him to go die in.
- Pharmaceuticals: Never have there been more illnesses that customers need to take care of. Researching new products will keep our customers alive and buying!
- Biotechnology: Utilization and integration of technology on the cellular level is putting companies on the forefront of medical breakthroughs.
- Heavy Manufacturing: There now exist single structures where--from start to finish--products are pieced together overnight. Alongside them, there are massive, complicated machines where industries spend half their net worth to simply get running.
- Genetic Engineering: Change at the molecular level is similar to biotechnology, except here the industry is entirely organic. Whereas biotechnology may implant a chip to enhance neural function, those dubbed "gengineers" (genetic engineers) simply rewrite and unlock new code to unlock the limitations of the human condition.
- Communication: Telecommunication corporations are the cornerstone of the world, keeping us connected at all times.
- Cybernetics:
- Aerospace: The exploration of aviation is imminent in that new Stratocities now allow a new world where the ultra rich no longer have to tread the same ground as the peasants. Aerospace technology is leading the way on bridging that gap.
- Virtual Reality: Dubbed the Second Universe, Virtual Reality is on the verge of existing with it's own infrastructure, economy and politics.
- Cloning: An industry all it's own--though pairing well and often crossing into Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, "RepTech" is considered the "Technology of God," whereas growing human bodies is the trade of the day.
- Space: Lunar exploration is gearing up on a whole new level, as are space walks and deep space exploration.
- Finances: Financing is neither new or exciting. It is however an easy way of making money by lending funds to other corporations at a nice interest rate.
- Energy: Mining and resource extraction may not seem exciting, but they pay the bills.
- Security: Private Military Corporations legalized under the International Military Privatization Act of 2077 has turned every street walking mercenary into a soldier of fortune.
- Transportation: Cars, as dull as they may be, are still the most significant industry in the world--as nations once considered "Developing"--Africa, Southeast Asia and Siberia, are now becoming hotbeds are transportation.
- Media: While the only product they sell is information, media is absolutely necessary for selling your product and making the customer your friend.
- Electronics: Handheld electronics have continued to evolve into the ultimate consumer good. While they're not the flashiest, they are often the insular platform for which many other technologies are achieved.
- Cybersecurity: Cybersecurity is both the first offensive and defensive weapon in a megacorporation's arsenal. Protecting against black hat attacks might be the difference between sinking and swimming.

Placido de Riba, a rather unknown technocrat from Lacas who previously worked in problematic regions fixing water access and infrastructure issues, attempts to take power in the Common Republic of Melizea by placing President Xavier Resendes under arrest. Military police loyal to Resendes shoot and kill de Riba and Resendes is evacuated after civilians in the capital learn of de Riba's death and foster him up as a man of the people. Military police and civilians clash, ending with 44 wounded and 6 dead.
Those who feigned loyalty to de Riba are quickly split into two camps, with those pledging their loyalty to Resendes once again and another group--75 men in all--who flee to the Commonwealth of San Ribera to escape prosecution from Resendes. 17 men who pledge their loyalty to Resendes again are then arrested and poised to stand trial. In an emergency public hearing, Resendes reminds "those who would oppose the Party that the People stand with us," though many international observers wonder aloud if instead of party, he meant military.

Although the economy of Aontas is in a period of steady growth, employment prospects in the country remain dour. The unemployment rate is high, and stagnant job growth both represents a social ill in the kingdom and is stifling the NKP's popularity. To remedy the issue, Minister of Labour Robert Oldervik has pursued an agenda of enticing domestic private industry to increase the size of their workforce in Aontas. His latest policy item is the 'Secured Service Employment Credit', a non-refundable tax credit that will be offered to small and medium-sized enterprises in the economically dominant service industry.
The credit will offer a modest tax break to small businesses hiring new employees after the date the credit is enacted, with the credit only being payable if the employee was either previously receiving income assistance or unemployment insurance, or is a person under the age of 23 who has not previously been employed. The size of the tax credit offered by the SSEC will scale up according to the amount of employees an employer hires that are eligible for the program, and scale down according to the company's revenue. The objective of the legislation is to make it easier for small businesses in labor-intensive industries, such as food service and retail, to take on new employees. Only time well tell it's effects moving forward. The Kommunistparti i Aontas (KA) decried the move in the Aontan Parliament and Party Leader Lars Henstre called for the immediate resignation of Minister of Labour Robert Oldervik for undeniably awarding tax credits to the very demographic responsible for electing his party to power in the first place.

Funding for the Radena Foreign Ministry's budget is raised from $610,000,000 to $720,000,000 to increase the amount of military and cultural attaches in the Radenan embassies and consulates in Aontas, Itherae and Fusan. The increase of personnel in these territories will increase the effectiveness of communications there.

The Everett Government of the United Republic of Calloway takes to national television to condemn the attacks in Southton and promise the people results in finding the terrorists and rebuilding as we stand strong together. Many were confused however as the person who gave the speech was not the President, nor was it the Minister of Security. It was a no-name. It was not a press conference. Many were left confused by the ambiguous rhetoric deployed and poll numbers showed a drop of nearly 5%.

With elections only four months away, the United Survaekom Socialist Party begins campaigning on a NEW WAVE platform, promising a new generation of socialists from the party's left wing. These new candidates will bring fresh names and faces to the fore, but at the risk of being alienated by lack of name recognition. Preliminary local campaigning begins in many candidates home territories in the cool Survaekom weather.

Itherae
The 2015 General Election in the High Kingdom of Itherae were--given the political makeup of Itherae--fairly modest. In the Upper Assembly, totaling 50 members plus an Assembly Speaker was given dominated by the Royal Party of Itherae, who held 22 seats in government. The Nationalist Party won 14 seats and just behind them were the classical liberal Freedom Alliance.
Election of the Upper Assembly, July, 2015. Royal Party, Nationalist Party, Labour Party and Freedom Alliance
In the People's Assembly, the results were similar with the Royal Party claiming 126 seats with the Nationalist Party only garnering 76 seats. Elections in July, 2018 however would be a giant opportunity for either party to seize the initiative.
Election of the People's Assembly, September, 2017. Royal Party, Nationalist Party, Labour Party and Freedom Alliance
Serving since July 2015, Prime Minister Konstantinos Rallis of the Royal Party has maintained an approval rating of 54%. Geographical tensions with neighboring Thecia have gone unsolved and the Nationalist Party claim Rallis' Thecian lineage (his family having emigrated in the 1940's to Itherae) are the reason. Similarly economic pressure from both Radena and Central Euranian neighbors to create a "Itheraen Grain & Oil Highway" continue to come in from seemingly every angle.

Fusan
The general election of members of the House of Representatives (Fusanese: 第48回衆議院議員総選挙 Hepburn: dai-yonjūhachikai Shūgiin giin sōsenkyo) took place on September 1st 2017. Turnout was 54.5% and saw the former opposition party Kinkoukai, The Balance Party win a single seat majority in the House of Representatives against the former Conservative Coalition Party, which has held a supramajority for the last 12 years.
Fusanese Election of 2017, Kinkoukai and Conservative Coalition Party
The Fusanese administration under Kinkoukai president Tokugawa Kunimatsu (2014-) is now entering his second term with an approval rate of 51%. Fighting a stagnating economy and a health care system that has experienced rampant corruption but has largely helped fund overt lobbyist schemes to win the loyalty of elected officials, the Kunimatsu government seeks to right a ship that many have seen sinking since 2014. With Radenan influence in Faresia growing, the Kunimatsu government has failed to take an honest accounting or whether they will align with Radena, Meung or find their own path in the world.

Common Republic of Melizea
Anticipated elections in 1997, 2002, 2007, 2012 and 2017 have been "halted" due to rampant economic and social issues present in Melizea. Hunger in 2017 alone killed nearly 13,000 people while the Partido de Uniformidad Nacional continues to hold unmitigated power in the government under President Xavier Resende, who has been president since 1997.
Revolts and protests remain the norm, often in direct conflict with the Melizean Federal Police and Melizean National Army, which remains well funded under President Resende. Failure to continue to develop necessary infrastructure and industries. That being said, President Resende's approval rating remains at "94%".
United Republic of Calloway
The United Republic of Calloway is an island nation in Eastern Eurania, boasting one of the largest economies in the world. One of only two nations still retaining sovereignty over former colonial territories now referred to as "departments," Calloway has a deep and enriched history of colonialism. In the 21st century, Calloway has slipped from the apex of a top three economy now just out of the top five. With an electorate that seems poised to continually hing back and forth, the 2016 General Election saw the liberal Labour Front against the Movement for a Better Calloway party.
Callian General Election 2016, Labour Front, Movement for a Better Calloway, Christian Alliance, Party for Callian Traditions, Callian Nationalist Party
The Everett Government was formed with the Labour Front and Christian Alliance, earning a slim majority for a government. Calloway's refusal to grant independence to it's overseas department has created some consternation in the international community, with even fellow Euranian League members calling for economic sanctions until the issue is resolved. A dilapidated military has also seen Calloway's Republican Navy go from first to fourth in size, with an equal drop in quality. Similarly, skyrocketing debt has caused some concern of an international economic crisis.
Federal States of Samgola
The Federal States of Samgola has seen the right-wing nationalist party of Samgola Dawn in power since 1995, following the Liberal Democrats and Democratic Alliance for Reform following out after the end of the First Samgolan Civil War. The Second Samgolan Civil War was survived when elements of the Lord's Army received Euranian League backing as well as from surrounding nations. President Jasura Hervit has since served as president for 23 years and has summarily seen the raise of the Samgola Dawn Paramilitary, the trial and execution of Samuel Bassong for crimes against the state and the complete annihilation of the Lord's Army--albeit with "unlawful military force."
Following the 2016 General Elections, Samgola Dawn has won 200 seats in the modified General Assembly, meaning the opposition has zero presence in the government.
Kingdom of Aontas
Aontas is a Marnish nation, situated in Northern Eurania and is one of the longest held independent states in Euranian history. Sharing cultural, linguistic and ethnic ties with Marnland, Yorvigir, and to a lesser extent the Memoitals. Maintaining a decidedly traditionalist ideology in the world, Aontas’ retains its constitutional monarchy in the modern day. The GDP per capita in the Marnish territories are some of the highest in the world, where the welfare state reigns.
With nearly non-existent military spending, the Aontans retain a defensive all volunteer army, an air force of Euranian purchased strike aircraft and a half dozen coastal ships. An uncompetitive economy paired with raising unemployment for both youth and “post work” adults (those who have effectively retired, thus taking from the system but no longer contributing) have begun to put a strain on the Aontan way of life.
Location of Aontas in Eurania
The politics of Aontas take place in the framework of a parliamentary representative democratic constitutional monarchy. Executive power is exercised by the Council of State, the cabinet, led by the Prime Minister of Aontas. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the legislature, the Tortinget, elected within a multi-party system. The judiciary is independent of the executive branch and the legislature. A parliamentary election was held in Aontas on 11 September 2017. The conservative-centrist coalition lead by the Nasjonalt Konservativt Parti (NKP) retained a slim majority of 91 seats along with the Agrariska Partiet i Aontas (APA).
This coalition allowed Prime Minister Hugo Saugstad to remain in power, earning a second term as Head of Government of Aontas.
Grand Survaek Commonwealth
The Grand Survaek Commonwealth is a is a unitary, formerly presidential constitutional monarchy which adopted a parliamentary system with a referendum in 2012; the new system came into effect with the presidential election in 2013. Survaek's current administration headed by prime minister of Huj Bolu of the United Socialist Survaekom Party has enacted measures to increase the influence of socialism in the Known World, reversed and undermined capitalist policies, and has reversed earlier reforms such as freedom of the press.
The Survaekom Senate has 151 seats, of which hold elections every five years. A unicameral legislature has allowed the USSP to maintain power through gerrymandering since gaining power in 1992.
The Survaek Commonwealth maintains its monarchy under Emperor Vokoryn III Khaitis, though his power is largely arbitrated through the Survaekom Senate. Khaitis has been the reigning monarch since 1975. Survaek is a land abundant with natural resources marred by a population that with illiterate, uneducated and bolstered by instances of regional tribalism, giving Survaek the name of the “Patchwork State” by Euranian contemporaries. Additionally, Survaek is not a member of the Euranian League.
Survaek is the only nation to have territory in both Eurania and Serranthia, due as well to ownership of the Myur-Haeyez Canal. The Survaekom serranthia territories are less populated but similarly home to some of the most abundant natural resources. The Myur-Haeyez Canal is an immense source of trade for Survaek, encountering nearly $40,000,000,000 in trade ever year. Outside of the Internan Sea, a merchant ship would have to go around the Serranthian continent to get its goods to Faresia or the Hadjeb sub-continent.
The Survaekom Army, Navy and Air Force have state mandated one year conscription services to attempt to create a more singular state identity among it’s multitude of ethnic populations. This has led the Survaekom armed forces to be among the largest in Eurania, spending nearly 4% of it’s national GDP on the armed forces.
Survaek's upcoming elections in April, 2018 will set the future of the nation.
