**EuroCorp N.V.**, doing business as **EuroCorp**, and formerly known as the **European Corporation** and as **Euro-Line Technologies AG,** is a Morranian technological mega-corporation based in the city of Amsterdam which operates services worldwide. The company develops, manufactures, licenses, supports, and sells computer software, consumer electronics, personal computers, and related services, as well as a plethora of military and civilian products through its subsidiaries.

Through its extensive network of products and subsidiaries, EuroCorp is one of the most valuable companies in the world and the largest company in Europe. Founded in 1953 following the incorporation of various aspects of the failed Dunsteen Technological Incorporated into the General Motors Group, EuroCorp remained a subsidiary of the GMG until 1974, when it was spun-off into a separate entity. Between 1974 and 2040, EuroCorp was a publicly traded company under *naamloze vennootschap*, whereby the identities of shareholders remained private information. In November 2040, President Kairos Hemlock of Morra passed the National Reform Act, which allowed the government of Morra to take over a majority stake in the company and undertake a hostile corporate takeover.

The company has been known to flout both domestic and international law regarding the role of corporations in public life. EuroCorp is widely regarded as being behind the establishment of Morra as an independent state in 2022, and continued to exert significant influence over the country for the following two decades through the backing of coups d'état and de-facto control over the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), which was the governing party until 2040. Additionally, there was a close link between EuroCorp executives and VVD government ministers, with several senior members of government having previously held management positions at EuroCorp. During the Loxenian Civil War, EuroCorp provided support for the Black Eagles terror organisation and exercised direct control over the short lived Loxchen Oblast.

## Name

In November 1956, **Euro-Line Technologies AG** (Dunsteenian: **Euro-Line-Technologien AG**) was established as a Dunsteenian technological development and vehicle manufacturing branch of the American-owned General Motors Group (GMG). Following the death of GMG CEO Alfred Sloan in September 1973, the company was spun off to become an independent entity in January 1974 as the **European Corporation** (Dunsteenian: **Europäische Gesellschaft AG**; **EGAG**). During the 1980s, the Dunsteenian language branding of **EGAG** was slowly dropped in favour of the company's English name as the company spread globally. In December 2000, the company was rebranded as **EuroCorp AG** and began to trade under the simple brand of **EuroCorp**. The legally registered name of the company was changed in November 2022 to **EuroCorp N.V.** after the company moved its legal registration from Dunsteen to Morra.

## History

Founded from the collapse of the state owned Dunsteen Technological Incorporated in 1953 during the presidency of Albert Lebrun, the various former DTI business arms were bought up and sold to multiple different companies, with American businessman and multi-millionaire Alfred Sloan acquiring the technological and vehicle divisions, with the vehicle enterprise being merged into his already existing company General Motors, whilst the technology wing was relaunched in 1956 as Euro-line Technologies, although following Sloan's death in 1973, the company was rebranded as the Euro Corporation under the leadership of CEO Thomas Phillips. With CEO Philips at the head, the company moved towards expansion into new digital technologies such as personal computers and games consoles which had begun to be created. At the end of the decade, Philips stepped down from his title and was replaced by Rudolf Schuster, and shortly followed by Gian Giacomo Ferraris, both of whom favoured entering other markets and as such the Euro Corporation began to enter the defence field in 1988, gaining contracts for the government of Dunsteen during the presidency of Giscard Estaing. With the appointment of Jean Marie-Laborde to the position of Chief Executive Officer in 1991, the company began to invest heavily in the new World Wide Web and began to expand to other European nations through the 1990s, such as Isgardia, Spain, Loxenia and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

In 2000, CEO Marie-Laborde stepped down and with the appointment of Jurgen Otto, the company began to rebrand once more, becoming simply EuroCorp and expanded further into military and civilian products, purchasing back the vehicle assets of the former DTI General Motors division and expanding into voting machines as well as telecommunications technology, bringing the company into the weapons systems of the United States of America under the Jed Bartlett administration. In 2010, Ian Quinby took over as the leader of EuroCorp and began to focus more militarily than any of his predecessors, funding the insurgency movement Black Eagles in Loxenia during it's civil war, ultimately taking over the group and using it as the armed forces of the corporation from 2014 onwards although ultimately CEO Quinby was killed in an airstrike in 2017, allowing Alexander Raffe to become the new CEO. Under Raffe, the corporation continued to back the Black Eagles, at a reduced degree, and instead began to cultivate an internal armed forces division, the Bestrafer, which served as a *de-jure* security force but in reality would take part in the Loxenian Civil War as the army of the Loxchen Oblast. Serving as a contractor for the Libirachi Empire during the Has Wars, EuroCorp under the management of Alisher Usmanov began in 2019 and would continue to support the Loxchen Oblast, even as the resurgent National Coalition of Loxenia forced the oblast out of much of the nation, and in 2022 the group acted as the supplier for the Confederacy of Independent Nations during the Libirachi Civil War. Later in the war, CEO Usmanov would withdraw the Bestrafer from the Loxchen Oblast after a 2023 military coup at the end of the war overthrew the National Coalition. In the later years of the Libirachi civil war, EuroCorp played a key role in supporting the New Republic of Dunsteen during the Battle for Dunsteen alongside the subcontracted Security Coalition led by Vanessa de Rouge, and ultimately secured it's independence, before conducting a coup later in 2024 to place Werner Reinheart and later Sunil Bakshi as puppet leaders of the new Corporate Republic of Dunsteen, where EuroCorp was the only body of law and its own crypto currency, the EuroCoin, served as the currency for the nation. Here, the Bestrafer were allowed to reign freely and whilst the company publicly denied any control, it went as so far to put the EuroCorp logo on the new CRD flag; the CRD would later cause political crisis in Dunsteen and led to the unseating of President Emanuel Macron in 2025.

## Relationship with Morra

EuroCorp is widely regarded as having held major influence over the nation of Morra between 2022 and 2040 under the government of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), itself widely seen as a political branch of EuroCorp. Between 2024 and 2029, the relationship between the two entities was explicitly stated under the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen, which included the EuroCorp logo on its flag. However, despite the transition to democracy in 2029 and the official cutting of ties between EuroCorp and the VVD, it remained an open secret that EuroCorp *de-facto* controlled Morra as a corporate fiefdom - whilst the appointment of former president Werner Reinheart as EuroCorp CEO in 2030 led to a more mutual relationship between the two entities, EuroCorp remained as the effective rulers of the country until the late 2030s, when political crises and a democratic revolution forced the VVD from office.

### Political Parties

 Main articles: People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, Caucus of Corporate Republicans, Union of the Corporations and Independence Alliance

Within the Republic of Morra and it's predecessor entities, EuroCorp consistently maintained a network of loyal political parties and caucuses from 2022 until the company's nationalisation in 2040. The earliest of EuroCorp's political entities was the Independence Alliance party and militia, initially headed by Werner Reinheart. Under Reinheart's leadership, the alliance coordinated Morra's independence movement and evolved to become a government; however, Reinheart was forced out of the alliance in 2023 and the unified political division was abolished, effectively resulting in EuroCorp losing control over the body. In order to restore his and EuroCorp's influence, Reinheart established the Caucus of Corporate Republicans as a grouping for corporate backed politicians, and orchestrated a takeover of government in 2024 with the aid of EuroCorp's military division.

In September 2025, CCR leader Sunil Bakshi replaced the caucus with a formal political party, the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), and rewrote the constitution of Morra to create an one-party state under the VVD's leadership. In 2029, the one-party state was abolished and multi-party democracy was *de-jure* introduced; however, whilst elections were free, they remained unfair and the VVD continued to dominate politics. In February 2029, two satellite parties, the Union of the Corporations and the Worker's Political Alliance were formed by VVD allies and funded by EuroCorp to act as controlled opposition to present the illusion of choice between parties; however, this strategy was disrupted by the emergence of a coalition of major opposition parties led by the Party of the Labourers. In May 2036, the Union of the Corporations merged with the VVD. In November 2036, the VVD-led coalition lost control over the legislature and the cabinet for the first time after a political scandal, before restoring VVD governance a year later. In 2037, the Worker's Political Alliance cut ties with the VVD and EuroCorp following major disagreements. Following the assassination of Sunil Bakshi and a political crisis which saw the most popular figures in the VVD form their own opposition party, EuroCorp-backed parties suffered massively in the 2040 Morranian National Assembly Election and were evicted from government. Under the populist president Kairos Hemlock, EuroCorp was nationalised and all links with the VVD were severed.

### Personnel

During the periods of 2022-23 and 2024-40, there existed a significant closeness between the governing People's Party for Freedom and Democracy and members of EuroCorp, which frequently manifested in the form of EuroCorp employees and shareholders assuming positions of significant power within the Republic of Morra. Whilst most who assumed office in Morra would subsequently cease official actions within EuroCorp, Werner Reinheart was appointed as CEO of EuroCorp in 2030 after having served two terms as president and a single term as vice president.

## Involvement in regime change

### Loxenia

Under Rudolf Schuster, former EuroCorp CEO and later president of Loxenia, relations between EuroCorp and Loxenia were firmly established and close; during Schuster's presidency, EuroCorp was granted a series of major government contracts, whilst several former EuroCorp executives served in his cabinet. However, under President Vladimir Meciar, the government of Loxenia initiated a major anti-corruption purge which ruled the contracts as unlawful and arrested several members of EuroCorp for bribery and conspiracy to influence government policy. In the aftermath of the trials, EuroCorp was banned from operating in Loxenia and lost billions of dollars in asset seizures. In June 2011, the Loxenian terrorist organisation Black Eagles launched an uprising against the Loxenian government in coordination with the Libirachi government, who used the Black Eagle attacks as a pretext to launch an invasion of Loxenia. After signing a secret agreement with the Black Eagles brokered by the Libirachi regime, EuroCorp became a covert supplier of resources to the terrorist organisation as CEO Ian Quinby attempted to install a more compliant government in Loxenia to allow for a rebuilding of the company's dominant position in the country. Following the deaths of Black Eagle leadership in 2015, Quinby took over the running of the terror group himself and *de-facto* converted it into a militant wing of EuroCorp; however, Quinby was assassinated in 2017 by Libirachi special forces after growing fears about the rising power of EuroCorp, and the Black Eagles splintered into two factions. After the Black Eagles established their own state, the Loxchen Oblast, EuroCorp became the largest supplier of technological services and defence resources, before abruptly ending support for the organisation under CEO Alisher Usmanov in 2020 after being threatened with international sanctions.

### Morra

The state of Morra and its current independent form owes a significant amount to the involvement of EuroCorp in the politics of the region. As part of a broader bid to destabilise the Republic of Dunsteen and establish a base of operations unaffected by hostile politicians, EuroCorp founded and bankrolled the Independence Alliance with the sole purpose of bringing forth the independence of the region of Morra. In September 2022, the region succeeded in gaining independence and established the unrecognised Transitional State under the leadership of Werner Reinheart, an EuroCorp loyalist. However, after Reinheart lost an election in January 2023, the nationalist Jean Luc Melenchon was elected president and sought to distance the country from EuroCorp, going as far to expel the company's employees from the country. Subsequently, EuroCorp coordinated with loyalist members of the armed forces to conduct a coup d'état which returned Reinheart to power in August 2024.

## EuroCoin

**EuroCoin** is the digital crypto-currency which serves as the base currency for the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen, as well as an internationally accepted form of digital payment akin to Bitcoin; introduced in 2024 following the takeover of a rebel province of Dunsteen, EuroCoin was introduced to act as a replacement to the Euro which was the base European currency thanks to the European Union. Attached to a set of gold reserves in Switzerland, the EuroCoin is the first digital currency to have base value with other currencies on exchange markets and quickly became a commonly traded for currency, used especially for purchases from the EuroCorp. The symbol  was designed in 2024 for the currency, and features on all digital payment stations.
