Line 72:
== Video Games ==
* The ''[[Fallout]]'' games reveal Pre-War America blurred the lines between corporations and government to the point they were effectively the same thing, and some corporate entities, even the ones which had a pretense of public separation from the government, acted with all the powers of actual governments.
* ''[[Star Control]] II'''s Druuge of the Persei system take this trope to a ridiculous extent: The Crimson Corporation is not only a government substitute, but owns all the natural resources and inhabitants as well. Druuge who quit (or are fired from) the corporation are instantly found guilty of stealing air and are sentenced to death. Druuge who are no longer useful, cannot work, or are in debt are tossed into the reactors of the nearest power station to be used as fuel.
* ''[[Galactic Civilizations]]'': The Korx would sell you their own mothers if they hadn't already sold them to someone else.
Line 94 ⟶ 95:
* The Vector corporation in the ''[[Xenosaga]]'' series fits this trope to a T. Almost to the degree of being ridiculous, given certain revelations in the third game {{spoiler|such as the fact that Vector's CEO is the head of a religious organization hell-bent on Vector's destruction too}}.
* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'': Reliable Excavation and Demolitions controls one half of the world. Builders League United controls the other half. The woman officiating the [[Forever War|Neverending War between the two companies]] ''[[NGO Superpower|is the CEO]] of [[One World Order|both of them.]]''
