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%)

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.
  - Robotics:

Headquarters: Metropolitan Lima - Perú

Starting Trait:
- Private Wealth: Company starts as a Close Corporation and with +1d100 Millions
History: Originally a state owned company of the Republic of Perú focused on servicing its navy and nothing more, it did its job well for around two hundred and twenty years, until the state needing money or perhaps wanting to reduce expenses finally sold it in a bid to Enrique Francisco Castilla de Casales, a man who had inherited his wealth and had decided to make use of it by joining the weapons bussiness, such feat was in no way easy when major defense suppliers already existed in most parts of the world.

Suffice to say that Castilla made his way either with his own money or witts, often supplying minor countries with cheap alternatives to the high tech and expensive defense systems offered by competitors.

I would like to know the details behind the dice rolling before I'll express any intent to pursue this. My usual stance is there should be enough info I could roll the dice myself to see how it all works. It's currently completely unknown how the IPO application turns into what's visible in the character tab.

Corporation Slogan: “Lighting the Future” | “未来を照らす”
CEO Name & Age: Etsuko Nishina, 32
Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan
Major Industries: Aerospace
Minor Industries: Electronics, Visual Reality
Starting Trait:
- Media Mogul: Media Relations Actions increased by 10%

Brief History & Description: Western culture was once seen as the end of Japanese 'harmony.' However, a bold Japanese Princess spoke against these fears by stating, "I think we should have an imperial family that is more in line with current times. I don't think we need to be tied to old ways," and thus a new beginning was born. Japan began reshaping what it has known as 'harmony.' This redefining inspired a young girl to put the future of Japan into a floating lantern during Tōrō Nagashi and inevitably change the nation's course. This girl eventually grew-up and decided to shoot for the moon and follow her ancestor, Yoshio Nishina's legacy and became a physicist who worked at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

As technology evolved and the rapid nationalistic propaganda created Eastern cowboys with eyes set on following the sunrise, companies began making deals with each other to more efficiently begin exploring the final frontier. Companies such as Pioneer, Fujifilm, Nintendo, Bandai, Toe Animation, Sunrise, and Studio Ghibli made a conglomerate merger with JAXA and created Floating Lantern, Incorporated (FLI) as the guiding prayer, which lights the path of Japan's fortune. For this reason, FLI Zeppelins can be seen hovering over the small island, offering hope, prosperity, and good jazz to all citizens living on the Land of the Rising Sun. Needless to say, tourists are generously welcome, and immigration is highly discouraged.

SH Holdings is a massive conglomerate that historically were rival corporate giants in the Republic of Korea.
