The Sanjou Corporation, formerly known as the Teikoku-Martria Company (帝国系マートリア人の会社 Teikoku-kei mātoriahito no kaisha), is a private corporation originally established as a state-sponsored chartered company by Emperor Heiyochō in 1700. Its mission was to establish new settlements in Martria and the southern islands of Shijie, conduct trade with natives, and carry out an expanded colonization program. 
This was the first joint-stock company of Ishikoku and was originally under the direct authority of the Ministry of Colonial Affairs (拓務省 Takumushō). The company was instrumental in the expansion of the Central Martria State and it continues to hold considerable influence over the Kyokuto Islands and Hiryūtochi.
After the collapse of Ishikoku in 1847, the Teikoku-Martria Company shifted out of governmental control and was taken over by surviving members of the Sanjou clan, family of the original Imperial Household. In November 1849, it was renamed as the Sanjou Corporation.
