    I'm sure the Corps would want to maintain a bare minimum of order to prevent any notion or idea of intervention by the US Military. Night City is a literal free zone for them to do whatever they want, so they won't allow it to completely fall apart.

      @Ajit Adonis Manilal You say corps but defense contractors make all of their money from, well, contracts. All of their equipment is used by militaries and they are only responsible for development, production and sometimes upkeep. A group like Blackwater would get extinguished immediately, as they lack heavy weaponry or armoured vehicles, or numbers. The biggest thing any defense contractor could do is just stop developing weapons and leak their developments to foreign enemies. But again, no reason to as the US is their primary source of income by a long shot.

      @✪Hidden Not exactly. The NUS had just fought the Reunification War, and essentially everyone was exhausted. That's the main reason they stepped back when Arasaka made that move. The general rule remains that megacorps do not want to get into open warfare against major national militaries. The corpos have the best toys, but the Army got more and bigger toys. And doesn't care about making a profit, it cares about stomping whatever it's pointed at into the ground. The few times corpos ignored that rule just about never ended well for them, the classic example being Mantoga Inc. getting effectively wiped off the face of the planet by the US military.

    I like the idea that the US military is this massive force that is much larger than our own IRL but largely has a domestic orientation. I also like that no single corporation can equal the sheer military power of a major world government and thus choose avenues to gain influence and wealth that don't upset the host country too much. I feel like corporations are going to have military power in order to keep doing what corporations do but at scale. They're not interested in governing anything greater than a city-state and frankly don't need to.

    I was always given the impression that the corps now overshadowed any other military, including the us, which is why the corps have seemingly full rain over countries. I mean, the 4th corporate war between arasaka and militech what catastrophic, almost leading to an apocalypse. But if the us military really is capable of taking both out with ease, if a nation of equal strength to the us were to declare war, one can only imagine the devastation it would bring.

    • @magni5648
      @magni5648 Год назад +2

      Funny thing, the US military isn't even the top dog around either. That's the Europeans. The EEC doesn't have megacorps quite as big as the American and Japanese ones or SovOil, but the eurocorps and governments form their own sort of microcosmos with its own unwritten rules, where their own rivalries are kept mostly at the level of espionage and the odd commando raid and outside powers trying to break in tend to get dogpiled by everybody.
      The result is that Europe is the economic and military 500-pound gorilla of the whole setting, and even Arasaka and Militech have to tread very lightly there because fucking with one smaller-sized rival corp in Europe can easily cause half a dozen others and the local government to join the party and kick out the noisy outsider.
      Also, the Euros are one of two parties to have full-scale space warfare capability. (The other is the Highrider Confederation, and they're essentially ESA stations that declared independence and take a position of armed neutrality in earthside affairs.) And the ESA has a standing policy that nobody else is allowed to build that, on pain of getting their space program blown to pieces. They fought a full-on orbital war with the US before, and it ended in the US Space Force ceasing to exist, after the Euros closed it out with a kinetic strike on the USSF/USAF headquarters in Colorado Springs.

      @@magni5648 Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Europe only totally dominant in terms of the economy? Sure there not push overs by any means but last I checked they were only dominant militarily in space. And even then the NUSA still maintains a capable force in space that’s more than capable of putting up a fight. Additionally that six hour space war was ultimately won as the Europeans refused to fight the NUSA in space and instead just glassed their HQ. Something they won’t be able to do again as the NUSA in the aftermath said that should they do that again instead of actually fighting in space they’ll just nuke the entirety of Europe in retaliation. This is also not mentioning that the NUSA maintains the largest and most well equipped navy and iirc army as well.

      My guess is that China is irrelevant since the cyberpunk genre got big during Japan's bubble economy (western fear of Japan's technological and economic rise/orientalism of thier intense work ethic) . Kinda like how modern interpretations showcase more of China and South Korea. I doubt anyone in the 80's imagined that Japan would be stuck in the analog era while their 3rd world neighbors becoming what they are now today.

      @@ljyljy88 Lmao not sure what you're going on about mate, Japan still remains one of the top economies in all of asia and is front and center when it comes to innovation and cutting edge technology. In comparison to China just like the 80's-early 90's it was still in complete shambles and had major inner turmoil going on let alone room to usher in economic and technological innovation.
      The main factor and the reason why Japan didn't reach the scale of China is precisely that, the scale. At the end of the day Japan is a very small island nation with zero outside claims worth a damn and a military that has had it's balls tied since WW2. China on the other hand has been a powerhouse in terms of potential, land mass and manpower for much of the modern era and the only reason they didn't become the behemoth we see today is because while the US, Canada, The brits, Japan and a select few euro nations had literally been industrialized for well over 100+ years China was still engulfed in inner turmoil and almost all of their population was illiterate and still working the land as farm peasants, couple that with the civil war [which happened in the midst of Japanese invasion and WW2 ] the disasters of communism and the disgusting corruption for many decades after and you have a failure.
      Yet the moment Deng Xiaoping ushered in his economic reforms and they decided to embrace foreign trade [and extremely sly economical invasion of foreign lands, cough australia cough] they quickly became a superpower and that is because the very foundation of what they are, being the massive landmass and population, was finally able to be put to it's full potential.
      However Japan? They never had that type of manpower nor did they have that type of landmass and their crimes against humanity and subsequent defeat and the bondage placed on them after WW2 sealed their fate.

      It already happened.
      Corporations have gotten so big that they made their own private militaries to fight another corporate entity.
      The British East India Company would often fight wars with the Dutch East India Company and other corporations around India and other locations.
      In more recent times in the U.S unions and corporations specifically mining corporations.
      Corporations would either hire or form their own small armies to fight unions and keep workers in line.
      For a long while in U.S history a bunch of battles occurred between unions and companies the biggest of which being the battle of Blair Mountain with 2 aircraft being rented and dropping bombs and trenches being made it lasted a few days till the national guard came in and put a stop to it.
      I definitely see corporate entities getting as big and powerful if not more than the British East India Company in the near future.

      Corporations don't have as much powers as they did - and they still have a lot of power. Let that sink in.
      I believe we are basically at that point.
      Corporations have there way with so much and I could put examples like the need for mining and the need for control.
