Imperial Mining Authority

The Imperial Mining Authority ('Irena Benecoda Ferritadan' in Tiapian) is a for-profit organisation wholly owned by the Empire of Tiapi. 
The company is responsible for aquiring and operating mines in foreign countries, funneling the wealth of other nation's natural deposits into the coffers of the Empire. This has caused great tension historically, resulting in at least 1 large-scale war (The Copper War), and many other diplomatic disputes and issues between the Empire and host countries.
Despite this, the company has existed for 700 years, continuing to funnel immense wealth into the Empire, often at the expense of the host country.
