Corporate Federal Conglomerate
The Corporate Federal Conglomerate or CoFedCo is, in theory, a loose democracy of corporations and geographic territories, though the political reality is closer to [[Wikipedia:plutocracy]plutocracy]. It's total territories encompass the entire continent of Santa Barbara and nearby islands and extending, in places, up to 300 kilometers offshore. Offworld holdings include large stretches of Noachia, [[The Planet Mars]Mars], and space colonies orbiting Mars, Earth and Luna.
Santa Barbara is noted for a huge military-industrial base, successful and numerous megacorporations, and a generally isolationist foreign policy. Economically, the CoFedCo claims absolute devotion to the free market, yet the government under Abadas has been very protective of it's trade interests.
