Maharlika Factions

THE FIVE-PETAL GUMAMELA
MEGACORPORATIONS
Present day in MAHARLIKA’s universe is the Time of Darkness 10, or TiDa 10.
The true leaders of humanity within the Arkipelago are “the Five
Megacorporations” or more poetically, The Five-Petal Gumamela. They are
different from normal, economic corporations, because thanks to their size
and strength, it wouldn’t be wrong to call them nations in their own right,
thus it is common to call them “Corpo-states” as well.
The Megacorporations each have their own regions and provinces where people
live as part of their mandala, which is our term for their political
influence and economic hold within the galaxy of Arkipelago. Within the
Mandalas the people work, under the Corporate Laws of the Megacorps.
