Cyberpunk Corporations of the 2030's
With the collapse of many national governments over the years, corporations
have come into their own during the resulting chaos. No longer held back by archaic anti-trust
laws, these new MegaCorporations guard and control their territories like small nations--with their
employees as sometimes unwilling citizens. Fully promoting the Have vs. Have-not social situation that
keeps them in power, the Corps are genereally hated by the bulk of the general population. Only the
rebellious Cyberpunks and Edgerunners stand a chance against their might, assuming they actually give a damn...

2030 came a mandate to restore some semblance of order to the world's oceans. Hence, the United Earth
Oceans Organization was formed. The UEO missions are peacekeeping and collective security, a doctrine
that applies to all member confederations and asserts that: the use of force is only acceptable in self
defense, attack on one confederation is considered to be an attack on the whole of the UEO, a pledge to
halt all aggressions and restore peace, and to supply material or personnel necessary to defeat the
aggressors. Currently the UEO has a membership of twenty plus confederations, working in cooperation to
restore order and peace to the world's oceans. While still growing, they hope to someday achieve their dream.
