* The RAMJAC Corporation is a fictional multinational conglomerate, or megacorp, featured in several novels by [[Kurt Vonnegut]]. In ''[[Jailbird]]'', the company at its height owns 19 percent of the United States. Every time any product or corporation is mentioned, it is also mentioned that it is owned by the RAMJAC Corporation.
* The novel ''[[The Quillan Games]]'' in the Pendragon series features the territory of Quillan, in which the Blok corporation, which started as a general store, evolved until it completely controlled the territory, and produce literally everything, from food to buildings to artwork, on the planet. If it doesn't have the name "Blok" on it, it probably doesn't exist or is boarded up underground with a factory or concentration camp built over it.
* In [[Larry Niven]]'s ''[[Known Space]]'' series, all starship hulls and a multitude of other useful high-tech products are sold by an alien-owned company called General Products.
** Not ''all'' hulls, just the {{spoiler|near-invulnerable, radiation-proof ones that come in four useful sizes...}} which does kind of give them an advantage in the market, I guess.
