History

The Pax Economica was a new order that followed the Earth when the planet experienced a period of rapid population growth that strain the global food as well as energy supplies. As the population grew, unrest manifested amongst the population at large and degenerated into violence as the governments lost control. In order to survive, the populations of their respective cities suffered from terrorism and anarchy. The people turned to the corporation's who's private armies kept them safe from the chaos. What followed was the Nation Dismantlement War and from that came the new world order.

In the near future, in the world, factors such as population problems, food problems, and resource problems overlapped, and the country gradually lost control, and companies called the six major companies later waged war against the country. This is the War of National Disintegration . The company that won an overwhelming victory with the next-generation AC, Next, seizes all resources under the flag of efficient resource distribution by the company, a wise economic entity, and becomes the de facto ruler of the earth. In other words, the advent of the corporate state world.

However, only the six largest companies, their affiliated organizations, and their employees were the only ones who properly enjoyed the benefits.

The reason why Anatolian mercenaries had to board the Next and resume their mercenary business was because the Anatolian colonies had lost their technological superiority to the corporations and were in financial crisis. This system, which was created to solidify the corporations' dominance, ended up strangling the corporations and causing the mutual extinction of the Lynx.

But in the end, the descriptions that came out were nothing more than perfect slavery, a global-level oligarchy underground labor camp . Even in the work, the advantages that are usually listed when referring to a corporate state hardly appear. The reason corporations overturned everything and seized world hegemony in the first place was absolutely not for things like efficient world management. In particular, the Lynx War that broke out in the corporate state system was largely caused by the national sentiment between Omer and BFF . Seeing that the corporate state can't even properly control national sentiment, we can see that there is no need for a grand classification like 'corporate state', and that it is simply a state system where the 'government' changed its name to 'corporation'.

This was dubbed the Pax Economica which was a system where loyalty and service to the corporations guaranteed food and survival. Under the rules of the Pax, the people were forced into corporate-run colonies which eventually became slaves to serving the wealthy corporate masters.

Overview

In this dystopian Earth, corporations had conquered the world's governing bodies amidst increasing civil unrest and dwindling resources, and established a new world order. Emil Gustav described it as a totalitarian rule by the six ruling corporations and was the result of the corporations' lack of trust over its populace. Under the system, loyalty and service to the corporations guaranteed food and survival. The Pax though people were forced into corporate-run colonies and essentially became slaves serving wealthy corporate masters.

In the Pax, there were six major companies each of whom constantly vie for control with one another. These corporations were
