So as you can see, I go back and forth,
that's right, back and forth
back and forth
back and side to side

While most businesses are limited to a single superpower (or even a single Terran nation or Klashnoi tribe), and are merely collections of citizens whose sole purpose is to make money, there are a few exceptions to this rule that are worth mentioning, mostly because they really do count as minor powers in the eyes of most, and are economic, cultural, technological, and even military dynamos.

You'll both be getting your wishes once I've fleshed out the two major Terran corps, the Cameron Company and Hyubase Energy!
