Corporation of the Americas

The Corporation of the Americas is one of the leading global powers of post-WWIII Earth. It was founded sometime in the late 21st Century as the Republic of Greater America. It consists of several city-states existing in North, Central, and South America.

Background
Not much is known about the Third World War as of yet in the comic. The details that are revealed about it state that the war was fought sometime in the mid 21st Century and that it was nuclear in nature, leaving vast swaths of the Earth very inhospitable to human life. The Corporation of the Americas was founded sometime after this war ended, when what was left of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and several South American countries had to forge an alliance in order to survive.

City-States
The Corporation consists of several city-states in the Americas. Some of these city-states include the Megalopolis of Los Angeles, the Megalopolis of Las Vegas, and Chicago. Buenos Aires is mentioned as being the Corporation’s capitol city. All the city-states have mayors who answer directly to the President of the Corporation. These citiy-states are protected from the poisoned environment by arcologies called GeoDomes.

Government Policies
According to Coalition member, Kizzy Lin, the Corporation is responsible for heinous acts, like the deportation and de facto murder of its own citizens. Kizzy claims that the reason she was deported from the Megalopolis of Las Vegas was for criticizing the Corporation government for supporting the replacement of human workers by androids. Other depictions of the Corporation of the comic, show it as being far more utopian than Kizzy claims.

Society and Culture
At least in the Megalopolis of Los Angeles, the culture of the Corporation seems to look up to a nostalgic representation of Mid-century North American society. They even emulate this era in their style of dress and in their architectural aesthetic. Despite Corporation society’s colorful and happy style, however, they seem to be inwardly paranoid about those they consider enemies, especially the people of the North American Coalition. Corporation Media is shown to push fear tactics and propaganda about the Coalition. They also seem to be xenophobic regarding extraterrestrials like the Voush’ni (Centaurians), and can be prejudiced against their own androids.
