Buy N Large (BNL)

The Buy n Large Corporation, abbreviated the BnL Corp., is a corporation formed from numerous mergers and buyouts in the XXI century. By the decade of the 2070s, BnL has taken over Earth and its nations. It is largely to blame for the Atomic Wars.
== Origin ==
In the 1960s, a suit company was founded in the American Midwest, Large Industries. Decades later, it was bought out by Buy Yogurt, a small yogurt brand. This was the birth of Buy n’ Large Industries.The History of Buy n Large (2007) [mockumentary]
In 2018, AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe's merges with the Walt Disney Corporation and 21st Century Fox to form Disney-Fox-AT&T-AOL-Time-Warner-PepsiCo-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe's.The Stopped Show [episode], season 5 (2018), BoJack Horseman [animated series] The next year, the Philip Morris cigarette company buys Disney-Fox-AT&T-AOL-Time-Warner-PepsiCo-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe's forming Philip-Morris-Disney-Fox-AT&T-AOL-Time-Warner-PepsiCo-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe's.

Sometime after February, 2023, Disney merges with Kellog’s and Raytheon, forming Philip-Morris-Disney-Kellog’s-Raytheon-Fox-AT&T-AOL-Time-Warner-PepsiCo-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe's.

== Rise to dominance ==
The Buy n Large website says by 2057: “the conglomerate became a worldwide leader in the fields of aerospace, agriculture, construction, consumer goods, corporate grooming, earth transport, electronics, energy, engineering, finance, food services, fusion research, government, hydro-power, infrastructures, inventions, media, medical science, mortgage loans, pet care, pharmaceuticals, psychotherapies, ports and harbors, real estate, repairs, retail, robotics, science/health, space, storage, super centers, super grids, travel services, utilities, and watermills.” The corporation's control affected other companies as well. It seemed as though other businesses wanted BNL to buy them out, such as Headr Inc. which gave BnL control of the world news headlines in 2038. In 2042, BNL was granted ownership of former SAO server hoster RECT, Inc. This was followed by Robinson Industries in 2051, KaibaCorp in 2057, and LUXO, a maker of electronics and appliances, in 2064. Buy n Large continued to expand its efforts for control so much that by the year 2105, Buy n Large had over two million wholly owned subsidiaries, governmental bodies, and health care centers. It had finally become a world leader in every conceivable field including world leadership. The Buy n Large Corporation's control over world governments was overseen by a global CEO, at the time it was Shelby Forthright. There was also a board of directors that approved Operation Cleanup. By giving the entire population on Earth (212 billion humans alone as seen in a newspaper) "the right to spend", humanity went into a state of mass consumerism which covered the entire planet in un-recycled refuse. By the time the movie WALL•E takes place, Buy n Large had built the Axiom, Epiglottus, and Zephyrus - a trio of executive, high-tech starliners (among thousands of others whose names have not been disclosed) - as a temporary refuge outside Earth while millions of WALL•E units and smaller number of huge mobile incinerators attempt to clean up the planet. Originally, their cruise was only to be five years long until the BnL CEO proclaimed Earth unable to support life due to extreme toxicity. The Axiom and the rest of the starliners had to remain in space due to Directive A113. After Buy n Large officially abandoned Earth in 2110, Shelby Forthright and all other humans supervising the cleanup had everything shut down and left. By the time the story in WALL•E takes place, Buy n Large no longer exists. It is present everywhere on Earth, the Axiom, and presumably all the other starliners, but since the death of Shelby Forthright and his generation, it no longer truly exists in a corporate sense. All Buy n Large activity on the Axiom is the same as it was 700 years before. It still has the same advertisements, but the corporation is just run on a defunct, continuing cycle by robots. There are BnL logos on everything, and there are still automated announcements about Buy n Large. All the holographic advertisements still tell people to consume and shop, but humans no longer consume as there are no actual products to buy, let alone money to use. It is unknown if the humans know what Buy n Large did in its early years of history.
