Line 76:
** ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]'' brings us the Resources Development Administration, an interstellar mining and transportation firm which swings more meat than most countries.
* Omni Consumer Products, ''[[RoboCop]]'' is another iconic example: they have divisions in such diverse fields as consumer products, healthcare, prisons, space exploration, law enforcement to military grade weaponry and their ultimate goal is to turn Detroit into Delta City, [[One Nation Under Copyright|One City Under Copyright]].
* The driving conflict in ''[[Inception]]'' is the protagonists trying to stop of one of these from being created. It's stated that if the head of the corporation makes the decision to do so then the company will become the only empire in the world.
* ''[[Inspector Gadget]]'' has Scolex Industries, which produces technology such as robots and androids (such as the [[Robo Gadget]] line).
* The Trade Federation in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' prequel trilogy is wealthy and influential enough to maintain its own navy (albeit one composed of converted cargo ships) and blockade entire planets at a whim, as well as have its own seat in the Galactic Senate. Yeah, they were rich enough to explicitly buy political power.
