Founding and Overview

The Protus Corporation was founded by its current CEO, Anthony Wunderlich. The Protus Corporation (also known as Protus, Inc.)is a biotech company. It operates ruthlessly as a major international player in a number of markets including pharmaceuticals, medical hardware and computers along with more clandestine operations utilising genetic engineering and bioweaponry. It is commonly known to be a large marketer of many civilian products, but it is also a large arms wholesaler. It provides everything from conventional weapons to experiemental bioweapons.


Products

Civilian products include: computers and computer software, automobiles (including public transportation vehicles such as busses, subway trains, entertainment (DVD's, VHS, Music CD's, and books), everyday and household products (clothes, affixtures, cleaning products, personla hygenie products, etc.) While military products include bullets, handguns, rifles, tanks, combat aircraft, transport aircraft, cruise missiles, naval ships, computers GPS Systems and GPS compatable equipment, and a wide array of WMDs.

In recent years large amounts money have been poured into the research and development of biologically based weapons. These include viral weapons, bioweapons, biosuits, and genetic engineering.


Political Status

The Protus Corporation originally began its almost imperailistic expansion in 1997 when it privatized what is now Protus City. Eventually it expanded into an island nation. It's citizens live relatively free lives, though the Protus Corporation wields great power over every aspect of them. Local governments are elected and do care for many of the smaller administrative issues, but ultimate control of the country, if it can be called a country, rests in the hands of the Protus Corporation.

In 2006 the Protus Corporation came, by as yet unknown means, under the authority of the NeoBritish Empire's government. While it retains its holdings in Protus City and its island, the company is officially under the jurisdiction of the Empire. This arrangement is odd as the total income of the Protus Corporation is many times larger than the revenue of the NeoBritish Empire. Due to this arrangement the main offices of the Protus Corporation are now loacted in NeoLondon, the capital of the NeoBritish Empire, in the region of Birmingham. As such, offically, the company is located in Birmingham. Furthermore, the region of the Protus Corporation became defunct and all subsidiaries became independent.

On a minor note, when the Protus Coporation entered into its agreement with the NeoBritish Empire, its flag was changed from the original (shown below) to its current flag.
