Exmples needed: rise of a Corporate State (Enterprise) from low-tech to TL9

[vicky_molokh]

Greetings, all!

I'm looking at the entries of the GURPS government/society types, and I'm finding them unsatisfactory and short. I also vaguely remember some book describing them in (slightly more detail). Either way, I'm looking toward an example of such a society growing up from relatively low tech up to TL9 (after which it should probably not change much).

Some specifics that should be addressed before discussing this topic:

• Please, no eutopian/dystopian examples.
• I'm talking about what the other book called the Enterprise subtype of Corporate State. Notably, monopolies are harshly and efficiently persecuted in this state (or else it would fall into a different category).
• Please do not focus too much coup d'états and subjugation (especially successful ones!) - any kind of government can suffer from them; this thread is for discussing a CS that lasts.
• While every government type has its disadvantages, please refrain from turning them into 'ur socitie iz teh suxxorz'. Criticism should be constructive. Also, see above about dystopian examples.
• Also, do not turn it into a political thread, and do not try to talk about how some other society type is absolutely better. That would be off-topic.

So, anybody has any such examples to share?
Thanks in advance!
