Default Re: Using Megacorporations

Megacorporations are governing structures that manage vast amounts of assets, employ vast amounts of people, and earn vast amounts of money. If their managers do not have an eye towards stability, they will likely be broken apart by their shareholders or by their governments long before they reach megacorporation status. By the way, there are no current megacorporations, Walmart is the closest at 0.7% global GDP, while Apple is not even close at 0.3% global GDP and Microsoft is only 0.15% (Amazon is between Apple and Microsoft).

Another trait that should probably show up in a megacorporation is a significant amount of resources on spent on security. If a company spends less on its security than Brazil does on its military, it is probably not a megacorporation, as it depends on a nation to defend its assets. Of course, megacorporation security will probably be smaller, better equipped, and better trained than the Brazilian military, but that is just a smart investment strategy (especially if it uses its security force to showcase its arms division).
