Brave New Frontier

Reader mode
[X] The advent of globalisation was a paradigm shift unlike any other in human history, ideas of unification thought ridiculous by previous generations were becoming hopeful ideals in the minds of the young. Though growing pains were present and unification is a very strong word for the federal union that currently exists. The EASE, Earth Agency for Solar Exploitation, is the newest project from the world, an agency for extra-terrestrial exploration and utilization as a response to Earth resources beginning to fade, a civilian agency at heart, its led by a director, a position with a ten-year term, and does not decide global policy.

    [X] No one could tell you exactly how it went, some think a conglomerate formed from a single night of secret bargains, others will tell you a single assassin did one last job and brought together the largest corporations, further still you will get stories of a slow, inevitable joining based off economic factors alone. The truth of the matter is that somehow, someway, private interests outcompeted nation-states and became tremendously powerful. Now a board of directors has sway over the majority of wealth, and via that wealth, control everything.
    [X] At Eleven-Twenty-Three AM Pacific Standard Time, ICBM's breached the North American defence grid at multiple locations, it's unknown whose exactly they were. It took six hours after that for the world to mobilize, a few days later and militaries were exchanging fire across the globe. Chains of command shattered as nowhere was safe. It took years for a government to form from demoralized remnants of military forces on the shattered hulk of a formerly civilized world. Now, a coalition government of generals, officers and other remaining ranking leaders decide the course of the world, with nothing to restrain them.

Difference of one vote for each option isn't close enough for my tastes. Go ahead and keep voting, or try and convince those not in line with you!

Always in the mood for hyper-capitalism and Megacorps

Still ever so close, okay, last push.

4 more hours since the posting of this. This means the vote closes at 4PM EST/10PM GMT.

After that, no matter the margins, I'll write the winner.

The vote is really close.

Maybe merge 2 options together?

Click to shrink...

How about a Megacorporation decided to the exploration and development of space but a majority of its shares are owned by national governments? It has some autonomy but needs government forces for heavy projects. (See Honorable East India Company).
 
So, the issue with merging them is i would need a week or two to figure out how the mechanics mesh, each of these options are tremendously different in that respect, with little commonalities. Whilst I could, I'd rather get this running quicker.
 
How about corporate control of only outer space?
e.g. Flavor text:
To waive their enormous corporate debts, the world's nation-states relinquished all territorial claims beyond Earth orbit, officially ceding "outer-space" to corporate control.​

Nation-states still control Earth.
E.A.S.E. could be the QM controlled global oversight organisation, for all corporate solar exploitation.
i.e. QM sets goals/milestones/limitations for the players' Corporation(s).

Could throw in the ICBM option too, it just hasn't happened yet.
In game terms, players need to provide X amount of resources to Earth, to stave off nuclear war... or something.
