"Cyberpunk is so unrealistic. There's
no way a corporation could
takeover and run an entire country."
The East Indian Company:
"Actually, we did"
The East India Company became
the de facto ruler of India after its
victory at the Battle of Plassey in
1757. It governed a region with a
population of 150 million, exercising
control over taxation, maintaining
military forces, and exerting political
influence. By the early 19th century, it
controlled key regions such as
Bengal, Madras, and Bombay. This
serves as a historical example of
how a corporation could dominate
and govern a country.
