From the official NSWiki:

Niculescu Funds, LTD., is an international banking firm that is owned and operated by Mikhai Niculescu. Headquartered in the United Empire of Colerica, Niculescu's banking empire has spread to almost every corner of the globe. Recently, Niculescu has expanded his interests by acquiring new fields, outside of his banking kingdom, and has bought out some of his strongest competitors. Niculescu's personal motto seems to be: "Join me now or work for me later." His personal wealth is currently estimated at $414 billion Colerican Credits, which makes him worth more than the Emperor Maderic Thra, himself.

What the article fails to mention is that Niculescu Funds, Ltd., is the largest business in the United Empire. Other large corporations include Galiet Uranium and SanRoon Uranium, which have been locked in a raging competition to gain more control over the United Empire's uranium profits.

The largest businesses are Aurora Book Publishing Co., a highly esteemed and old institution, Fjordland Shipyards, which started out more than 900 years ago making longboats, Nord Records, a music label that has a variety of styles and artists on it, Ingridatter Musical Instruments, Bjarni Instruments, Fenris Guitars, all highly successful producers of high-quality instruments, and Succubi magazine, a porn mag that's usually called "goth" or "fetish" in other countries.

Bulgan Mines Co.

The largest and richest business in Chinkopodia, Bulgan Mines have become one of the larger companies in Earth II Central Asia after gaining sole rights to the Bulgan Mining Complex, (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7680045&postcount=120) the largest mining complex in the world. This has provided them with a wealth of minerals, including copper, molybdenum, gold, uranium, lead, zinc, oil, zeolites, ferrous metals, fluorspar, phosphate and gemstones to name a few, which have created a huge profit, as much of the mine had already been dug out after the Chinkopodian Gold Rush. Profit and surplus have contributed unfathomable amounts of money to the budget and bursary, and so have helped to expand the industry, their buildings and their influence tenfold.

Ölgiy Telecom

The barren, calm desert near Ölgiy is the perfect location for a telecommunications tower - with little habitation nearby, the tower has few height or size limits - with the small town of Ölgiy, less than 2km away, a perfect location for a business centre. The Ölgiy tower is almost 500m tall and its radio signals span the whole of Mongolia, part of Southern Russia and part of Northern China, providing a virtual monopoly on signals for televisions, telephones, internet, and more.

In a world where business practices are hidden and jealously guarded, we in Designwerks would like to open our company's more critical statistics to the general public. Schultaria Prime has always felt that an open policy is the best policy when dealing with matters of trade or knowledge exchange. As such, this document has been prepared to satisfy a general outline of Designwerks more basic facts.

-----

History

Designwerks is a name that's been known and respected in Schultaria Prime for well over 100 years, and is the first corporation to be granted government sanction after the Schultarian Democratic Revolution. Following the Revolution, the newly formed United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime had adopted stringent private business policies; while successful in limiting the amount of influence the former corporate oligarchies had on the new government, these policies were terrible for the nation as a whole. Inflation and unemployment rates shot well over 20% for the first five years of the fledgling democratic state, causing tremendous panic in the nation at large. Conceding that the government would have to step in to help the citizens it had sworn to aid, the Nationalized Industries and Economy Act provided the basis for Designwerks' development. All it required were some financial and intellectual backers.

Conceptualized by the revolutionary leaders of Merle Schultz, Kedjem Covey, Lindia Damien, and the incomparable Professor Kevem Haarvekord, Designwerks served to fill several critical gaps in the new nation's industrial and economic strategies. Instead of developing a multitude of numerous state run companies, Designwerks centered around the concept that a centralized corporate structure, completely responsible to the Central Directorate and National Assembly of Schultaria Prime, would prove to be the most effective measure in creating government sponsored businesses with the least amount of external regulation. The result was a rousing success; within five years Designwerks' had become the single largest revenue producing apparatus for the nation of Schultaria Prime, and allowed for nearly complete control of government exports to foreign nations.

As it stands, Designwerks and the Government of Schultaria Prime are almost one in the same. The significance of Designwerks' achievements in revenue distribution, public funding, and intellectual exploration have been tantamount to Schultaria Prime's development as a nation of world renown. Also, Designwerks is by far the most active foreign relations tool in the Schultarian government, and has served as one of the world's greatest promoters of Schultarian peace and prosperity.
