Answer 12 (1 of 3) [STG] The three Gigacorps

The least well known of the big three is Morgan Oceanic. It can trace its roots back to london in the 1830's when the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company* was founded. It's more recent rise from a huge company to a global corporate power dates back to the marriage of Sofia Morgan and one of Dubai's princes. The prince was fascinated by all the sciences of the sea almost to the point of obsession. Sofia on the other hand is now one of the more heavily studied figures in corporate lore. To cut a long story short the combination of business acumen and maritime research led to a corporation that has financial, political and technological domination of worlds oceans.
Corporate activities include
- Submersible transport ships that monopolize arctic winter shipping
- Ownership of the foremost oceanic spaceport.
- Undersea mining, with near total control of the rights to several minerals.
- Aquaculture.
- Ports and transport
- Anti-piracy policing
- Arcology ships
- Maritime research and exploration
- Man made islands.

*which eventually became P&O which became part of Dubai World.

That's 1 out of 3, I'll provide more unless anyone beats me to it.

Question 13 [STG]
The largest of the Islands constructed by Morgan Oceanic serves as the place to be for corporations, why is this and what else is there of note about this artificial landmass?
