With modern technology and a secret transportation network I think a Dominus HQ as it stands is within a few hours of every nation. Probably 6 hours at the most.

So I realize this is bad timing but I won't be able to post IC until Wednesday... maybe Thursday. I humbly ask that you keep Dominus in your hearts and reach out to hire them so I can jump in should you start before then.

Legal Nation Name:
Dominus, Inc.
Territories Controlled:
Dominus bases its operations in the Cayman Islands, and is the regional authority of the islands. Technically, the Cayman Islands are privately owned by the Director of Dominus, and its 60,000 residents all rent the property from her. Dominus also controls regional HQs in New York, Vienna and Shanghai.
Terms of Service:
The following contains notable parts of the Dominus Terms of Service, which much be adhered to by the client that hired Dominus. Failure to comply with the Terms of Service will result in immediate termination of any contract and a possible future penalty, as Dominus sees fit.
Type of Government:
Dominus is formally an independent agency that licenses itself out to any client, within Dominus' terms of service. Dominus is composed of several branches, both regional and according to function. These branches are headed by a Chairman or Chairwoman. All Chairpersons report to the Director of Dominus, Inc., Cordia Tsao. Dominus employs security forces for its buildings, but does not support a traditional paramilitary force.
The Cayman Islands, owned by Cordia Tsao, is technically an independent state. The 60,000 residents vote a mayor to office who coordinates policy on the Island, and there is a large auditorium that serves as a town hall for anyone to come and discuss issues of the Island. Generally, people are very content with this way of life and the Cayman Islands houses many retirees, all paying rent to Director Tsao.
Number of branches: CLASSIFIED
Number of employees: CLASSIFIED
Military:
The Director of Dominus, who oversees all operations, is Cordia Tsao.
The following are branches of Dominus, who act independently of each other and report to the Director:
Each branch employs several thousand workers, however Dominus special agents are much fewer in number. Each branch controls around 20-40 highly trained field agents, executives and technology experts in their respective field.
All chairpersons are promoted from within their branch, so they have full awareness of what a mission needs to be completed. Many are former field agents or career managers.
Productions:
Dominus trains highly specialized agents to perform several covert tasks as indicated by their clients. They also have a highly efficient weapons facility in the Cayman Islands that produces cheap, basic weaponry, such as assault rifles. Dominus employs agents from all over the world.
History of the Nation:
During World War III, the allied powers needed as much intelligence as they could gather on their enemies. They began to hire private security firms to serve as security and intelligence. Dominus, at the time, was one of these companies. An American company, Dominus was hired to go behind enemy lines and gather military intelligence, in addition to having Dominus agents serve as personal security guards of the families of several world leaders. Several different nations poured money into firms such as Dominus in order to exploit their intelligence and covert capabilities with no political drawback on the countries themselves. Dominus achieved worldwide renown during WWIII, as it successfully prevented an assassination attempt on the First Lady of the United States, and it discovered a major invasion plan by China into the United States, that would have allowed the Chinese to basically invade all of Alaska.
When WWIII was winding down, nations had less money to give to Dominus, but they expected the same level of operations. Dominus was stretched thin, and several of their famed operations began to fail. Agents were caught in China and Russia and unknown assassins caused the jet of the Prime Minister of Italy to crash into the ocean, taking the PM and four Dominus security guards with it. Dominus' CEO, Richard Lovejoy, began to desperately go to allied powers and ask for more funding, but he was turned away. Dominus grew weaker until unknown mercenaries stormed Dominus' headquarters in New York and killed over two dozen employees, including Lovejoy. Dominus threatened to collapse upon itself when Cordia Tsao, Chairwoman of the Intelligence and Reconnaissance division of Dominus and rather eccentric millionaire, assumed control. Due to the prejudice against Chinese in America because of the war, Cordia took Dominus out of the States and to her resort in the Cayman Islands. Dominus cut ties to the allied powers and became an independent organization. Cordia began to model Dominus after the CIA, rather than a security company. When America eventually collapsed, Cordia recruited several hundred CIA agents to work for Dominus and help design it.
After the war, Dominus was a company in name only. It was now a rogue intelligence organization. Ms. Tsao was no longer the CEO, but the Director. Cordia purchased the Cayman Islands from the Crown of England after the war for a relative bargain due to Britain's debts, and established Dominus with the rents from the residents of the Islands as well as the considerable tourism and money laundering associated with the Cayman Islands. A few years after the war ended, Dominus began to expand its practices from intelligence and security to more dubious operations, such as assassination, sabotage and kidnapping. In the chaos that followed the great war, Dominus found much work, and they have continued throughout the past 20 years relatively unopposed when it comes to covert operations.
Dominus has the reputation as being efficient and professional, as does Director Tsao. Nicknamed by many people around the world "The Illuminati", Dominus takes pride in its reputation as a force that can see anyone's darkest secrets and reveal them to the highest bidder.
Cordia Tsao herself is approaching the age of 70 and is known as a philanthropist and a socialite. She often travels the world, making connections with the powerful elite and hosting and attending many luxurious parties, balls and galas. She is almost universally liked by those she chooses to be her friends. Many wonder how such an enjoyable lady could oversee so much of what goes on at Dominus, but that's all part of Cordia's mask.
Main Race:
Dominus, Inc. is a proud supporter of affirmative action. Director Cordia Tsao is Han Chinese, however she was raised dually in China and the United States of America.
Main Religion:
Dominus, Inc. does not discriminate based on hiring people of different faiths and will accept clients of all faiths and denominations. Director Cordia Tsao identifies as atheist.

I like it, is it still WIP or is it complete?
Thanks, it's complete as of now.
Also, I could update/colorize the map once all the submissions are in.
Ok, I've finished my app.
Edit: slight update on the history
Edit: slight update on the history
Instead of writing my history, I made a graphic. Oh well.
Ok, I'll keep working on it. My goal is for Dominus to be necessary for everyone to make use of, like Country A is using Dominus to assassinate Country B's general to prepare for an invasion while Country B is using Dominus to gather information about Country A's planned invasion. Everyone has to use it to keep up with one another.
I understand, before I go any further can you tell me if this sounds alright?
WIP; mainly just have the history section left

Actually, new idea (because America was taken when I was away). In the spirit of my ongoing binge watch of Archer, can I create an independent spy/assassination/special operations organization? Maybe a corporation that lends these services.
@Sigma do you want to collab on an East/West USA? Like the general backstory that led to them being divided?
