The Yorta Corporation
Introduction
The Worlds first and only Mega Corporation, propelled by the Shadow Wars and then the Equestrian Civil War. Yorta was a Company started in Canterlot by Ayodachi Yorta during the Era of peace. Once a small company, Yorta innovated it's business practices and swiftly mastered the Art of Ruthless reckless extortion. Using the Capitalist frame work of the World's Economy. They steadily over the course of thousands of years wiped out nearly all competition across the world and are the sole company around the world. The endless, confusing miasma of departments and branches own almost every single business in some shape and form with the Industrializing Government effectively useless at stopping them. In a lot of ways Yorta is very, very, very far ahead of it's time. Employing the tactics of a modern 21st century megacorporation in a pre-modern world. No one truly understands just how big Yorta has grown and how much power they have. No matter the war or result of the war, they profit somehow and nearly everything is done according to their desires. They are a Shadow Government in almost every country and has growing influence in many of them all while maintaining the illusion of choice. There is no true concept of workers rights or safety, enabling them to employ ridiculous and cruel policies and get away with the consequences. They have their hands in every noble's pocket in some sort of way and can tug the strings as they see fit. Even the criminal under world is not safe, as they run many criminal enterprises and have stakes in the world's biggest gangs.Structure

Culture
Yorta is all about profit, anything in the name of gaining as much power and wealth as well as influence as they could possibly manage. Following a survival of the fittest mind set, they have largely abandoned any notion of morality in the pursuit of Survival and dominance. Yorta is not afraid to kill anyone at any time for any reason to see their agenda's complete.
Deep down there is a core desire to propel the company and in so doing the species of this planet into space and to become the masters of more then one world. They believe the natural state of life is to be controlled and believe they should be the ones holding the reigns of power and control everyone for their own 'good'. Believing those in lower classes then them or with less opportunity then them to be either weak or ill suited for the future.
They also do not believe in the concept of religion, believing it to be a distraction and a token of a primal more simple age that must be eradicated.
Public Agenda
Yorta's Public Agenda is to 'advance' the world into a promised golden future. Using images of Utopia and scientific advancement to excuse their actions and standards. It's not ruthless extortion, it's a noble sacrifice to a better tomorrow. They back a set of charities and what not and engage in a lot of PR to build their image as a trust worthy and compassionate company and many institutions and people fall for it because they lack the education, Insight and information to make proper informed decisions.
Given that much of society is still pre-modern, that means not many people even have the concept of why a Mega corporation is bad. All they see in the papers is the company doing good things and their detractors are slandered and they believe it because they don't have the option to alternative news.
Assets
Yorta has assets across the world and has their hands in just about every guild, business, Noble house and much more that you can think of. They have enough assets they can tear down their own businesses and actually turn a profit because the economy doesn't even realize it's all the same company. The most notable assets that the company has it when it comes to Arms and Equipment manufacturing as well as it's creation of magical Golems and monsters they can use in combat.
As a result, Yorta is so impossibly rich that most countries don't even begin to consider that much money can exist in the first place, giving Yorta an incredible and unfair advantage.
Demography and Population
Yorta employs many races but not all of them are equal, for instance it is not uncommon for the Company to ruthlessly extort and enslave the minority of whatever country they're working in. Those who survive being chattel to the company work their souls away gaining power and prominence only to themselves do the same cruel treatment to their own kin.
Due to the nature of the age they live in, they don't actually know how many employees they have but the lowest estimate is a few million with maximum being nearly 100-200 million employees world wide if not it could be far larger.
Territories
The company owns various facilities and sites across the world with their most major structures being in Equestria and Zintamia with others being subsidiaries of those to avoid complications if one or two countries somewhat slide out of the countries control. There most potent facilities are the Auralight refineries that extract Aura crystals from Crystal fields for power and other purposes.
Military
Yorta is one of the worlds greatest military powers and barely anyone realizes this fact. Yorta has servicemen and women across every nation and has bottomless pockets to pay mercenaries and criminals with. They have world's highest GDP and spend a lot in military making them a shadow military super power. Every Yorta security is defended by company PMC's from various different Private military companies they own.
They also have some of the worlds most sophisticated and deadly Magi-tech weaponry and equipment, gaining this budget from their near endless distribution of weapons and goods to every nation they can get a deal with on every side of every war they can manage. They also possess military tactics ahead of their time to a creepy factor, almost as if someone from the future taught their soldiers how to fight.
Foreign Relations
Yorta has strained relations with Alpacan, Freedria and Lexer as well as their allies but they have far stronger ties with many other major world nations and exercise incredible and toxic control over them through soft power, money and influence. Able to get the results they want one way or another...even if you are completely resistant to them, they will try to tear you down from the inside and out side either by manipulating other states to act against you or funding revolutionary movements against you.
Even if you were to expose the company, the company owns the vast majority of means of communication and thus control the flow of information and can sway public opinion against you.
Agriculture & Industry
Yorta owns various Agricultural and Industry Guilds and Companies across much of the world such as the West Equestria Farming Guild or the Equestrian Industry association. This means that a good portion of Agriculture and Industry is being handled by a singular company through hundreds of thousands of proxies that act according to their will.
Trade & Transport
Indeed for most of the Era of Grey, Yorta has a near universal monopoly on Trade and transport, the majority of organizations that handle both affairs being in some way under the control of the Yorta Corporation. Meaning if a subsidiary country was to rebelling too much, they could have their entire supply line completely shut off by the snap of a finger.
Since Yorta has the military power to back it's bullying, Governments can't just forcefully nationalize Yorta's assets because who is going to challenge them?
Education
Many schools and Academy around the world with few countries in exception get a lot of their funding by Yorta through proxies, normally by the contributions of Nobles in their pockets. This enables the company over arching control of what the youth is being taught at all times. This means revolutionary causes spawning in other nations could be very well the meddling of Yorta for some mysterious future agenda.
Infrastructure
Yorta runs nearly every organization or guild that could have anything to do with Infrastructure meaning every nation they control has been perfectly fine tuned to serve the company and perhaps not necessarily for the people living in them. This also enables them to directly control countries by more potent means by controlling the very flow of their resources that they need to survive.
