Corporations

The largest Corporations, the 10 AAA Megacorporations, own a seat on the Corporate Court, the arbitral body over all worldwide corporations (a sort of "Corporate United Nations").

The AA Corporations are multinational corporations with extraterritoriality, while the A Corporations are just beginning to have a multinational presence.

Prime Megacorporations

The Corporate Court rates AAA the largest and most important corporations. Also called Prime Megacorporations, AAA-rated corporations enjoy the same extraterritorial privileges as AA megacorporations. They are also given, at least, a representative on the Corporate Court for their importance. Rarely, other corps will be tapped with nominations for a standing at this level, but it often comes with the unspoken implication another in the collective will be replaced. (No rule strictly states this has to happen, but lower level AAA corps still fight to bar newcomers just to be safe.)
Currently (as of 2070), the following corporations are listed as AAA:

1. Saeder-Krupp
2. NeoNET
3. Mitsuhama Computer Technologies
4. Aztechnology
5. Renraku Computer Systems
6. Ares Macrotechnology
7. Evo Corporation
8. Shiawase Corporation
9. Wuxing Incorporated
10. Horizon

The following corps have held AAA status in the past but no longer do so:

• Cross Applied Technologies
• Fuchi Industrial Electronics
• Novatech

The following organizations were founding members of the Corporate Court and hold permanent seats on it:

• Ares Industries (renamed Ares Macrotechnology in 2024)
• Aztechnology
• BMW (reorganized into Saeder-Krupp in 2036)
• JRJ International (now a part of NeoNET)
• Keruba International (bought by Renraku in 2029)
• Mitsuhama Computer Technologies
• Shiawase

AA Megacorporation

Corporations are classified as AA by the Corporate Court if they have a strong multinational presence and a good stability. Nations signatory of the Business Recognition Accords must grant them extraterritorial rights. AA corporations are usually called megacorporations, although the term is often mistakenly considered to only refer to 7-10 AAA Prime Megacorporation members of the Corporate Court.
The following are AA corporations relevant to this campaign (there's thousands of them, otherwise) :

• DocWagon
• Lone Star Security Services
• Lloyds
• METIS
• NYPD, Inc.
• Winter Systems

A Corporations

Corporations are classified as A or Third Tier by the Corporate Court if they are present in at least two different countries. They are also called multinationals.
Corporations that are within only one nation, no matter their size, are not given a rating by the Corporate Court, and are referred to simply as "National Corporations".
