Global Earnings Report


Total Sales for first Global Earnings Report


Though it single handedly destroyed the Asian platforming market for the next decade, the Great Swindle of early 2091 turned Phoenix Rising Entertainment into a superstar literally overnight. Similarly, while making huge strides in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Cognitive Robotics woefully underperformed and lost substantial ground in the market. Similarly, Tidal Enforcement was seen as the smallest fish in a big North American pond and investors quickly sent their investments to other more lucrative tracts in the Security and Weapons industry.

Persephone Station

North American Market
  • Weapons manufacturer Fairview-Clearweather Manufacturing introduces the FCM-101 Assault Rifle to the market and immediately begins production of it to meet demand. The weapon sells fantastically, selling nearly 5,000,000 units at a total net profit of $25,000,000,000.
  • An attempt by Tech-Comm to introduce a breakthrough in the Media sector amounts to nothing at a cost of $50 Billion.
  • Dreamcloud introduces DMC News into the North American market at a price of $3.
  • Dreamcloud purchases 2 Million Shares of Helping Hands Industry for $22.09 Billion.
  • Election Campaigns in the North American Union get underway with the nationalist and protectionist America First Party seek to regain power, while the progressive Alliance for Equality seek to maintain the status quo. Campaigns are expected to end in Fiscal Quarter 1, 2091. Given the current food shortage problem, prospects for the America First Party look promising, while the Alliance for Equality are campaigning on the strength of the current economy.

INDUSTRIES

[Unsaturated | Competitive | Saturated]

  • 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.
    - 2 of 18 Active Competitors (11%)
  • 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.
    - 1 of 18 Active Competitors (5.5%)
  • Pharmaceuticals: Never have there been more illnesses that customers need to take care of. Researching new products will keep our customers alive and buying!
    - 1 of 18 Active Competitors (5.5%)
  • 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.
    - 3 of 18 Active Competitors (16.5%)
  • 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.
    - 1 of 18 Active Competitors (5.5%)
  • Space: Lunar exploration is gearing up on a whole new level, as are space walks and deep space exploration.
    - 3 of 18 Active Competitors (16.5%)
  • Virtual Reality: Dubbed the Second Universe, Virtual Reality is on the verge of existing with it's own infrastructure, economy and politics.
    - 3 of 18 Active Competitors (16.5%)
  • 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.
    - 3 of 18 Active Competitors (16.5%)
  • Security: Private Military Corporations legalized under the International Military Privatization Act of 2077 have turned every street walking mercenary into a soldier of fortune.
    - 5 of 18 Active Competitors (27.7%)
  • Media: While the only product they sell is information, media is absolutely necessary for selling your product and making the customer your friend.
    - 4 of 18 Active Competitors (22.2%)

World Event: Famines Strike North American Union


By the end of June, incoming shipments from South America and Africa had slowed.

It's easily forgotten how much of a house of cards we live in. An intricate and interlocking web of networks and trade deals, all a single click or hiccup away from collapsing. Today, something definitely fell through. Things didn't really start to hurt until July--the shelves had been emptied long before that, but it's not until you've got nothing that you realize that your neighbor isn't the enemy, it's those who put us into the position anyway. Some say it was climate change: overworking the environment caused minuscule changes in the climate that caused crop yields to fall. Others believed it was the profit motive. Why sell to the Union when there were more mouths to feed with bigger wallets in Europe and Asia anyway?
Johannes Mahster, Journalist for the Chicago Exclusive

- Demand for Entertainment and Electronics decrease by 20%.
- Demand for Weapons increases by 20%.
