The Argentine Brazilian Consortium Before the breakdown of social order during the flooding, several large multinational corporations in South America were in negotiations to merge into the first true global megacorporation. They represented all facets of industry and agriculture in the South Americas, and sought to bring the region up to the level of the First World countries (the G8 nations). When the waves began to crash on the shores of South America, these corporations seized control from the weak, ineffective governments that had become drained by corruption and years of mismanagement. The Consortium founded the first corporate nation and brought all surviving interests on the continent under its wing. Over the next several years, the Consortium (led by the Argentine and Brazilian groups) rebuilt and reorganized the South American economy. They have the most advanced medical and agricultural technologies on the planet. Only the Spratly Confederation and the Pan-Asian Economic Union do not rely on the Consortium for foodstuffs and medical supplies. The Consortium "daughter companies" also supply all the goods their people require, and actively trade these same goods on the global open market.
