The **Coalition Corporate Advisory Committee** (**CCAC**), also known as the **Corpo Board** or **Corpo Committee,** is an extremely powerful outlet of corporate influence within the government of the Coalition of Congressional Republics. Despite categorically being an "advisory committee" to the various policies and legislation put out by the Coalition, the CCAC in reality exerts control over multiple sections of the CCR up to and including the General Congress of the Coalition. Most high-caliber actions proposed by the General Congress or the Secretary-General of the Coalition must be first reviewed and approved by the CCAC prior to becoming executed, and thus the many mega-corporations and conglomerates of the supranation are free to maintain their power mutually.

The Coalition Corporate Advisory Committee was originally formed after the end of the Corporate Wars that lasted from 2235 to 2245 across the Coalition. As a part of a peace deal between the government and the rebellious megacorporations within it, the CCAC was created in order to give these private entities a more direct communications line to government leaders, in addition to having a say in the making of laws and executive orders that would influence the economy. However, the nascent powers of various companies following the Corporate Wars allowed the CCAC to transform from a mere channel of information to that of an organ of manipulation and control, always keeping the sitting members informed of the latest government schemes and allowing them in kind to "propose" beneficial legislation.

Currently, the Coalition Corporate Advisory Committee is staffed by *Chairman of the Committee* Kacper Talaga of the Aircraft Corporation Talaga. All sitting members of the committee, such as the Stapleford Group and Chen Wu Corporation, are represented by their "de-facto" leaders - mainly CEOs and Presidents.

## Database Entry

COALITION CORPORATE ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The **Coalition Corporate Advisory Committee** is often considered to be the Coalition's fourth branch of government with how much power it truly wields. Only by law considered to be subordinate to the Coalition Department of Economics, it consists of the most powerful megacorporations, conglomerates, syndicates, and consortiums in existence, with their seats on the committee thus bestowing these groups the ability to review and veto the actions of the General Congress, Secretariat, or Supreme Court.

As titanic in power as they may be, the CCAC is still a deathmatch between member megacorps that vie for their supremacy in the political arena. They only band together in moments where the state may attain a lead over them — in all other instances, they are constantly at each other's throats for pushing forth legislation that may lead to selfish benefit.

In truth, the CCAC is nothing more than a limb tacked onto the already labyrinthian body that is the Coalition government. For better or for worse, it seems to be staying the same as it has been for practically four centuries, with little desire of the Committee to rise from its deep state status to openly control the Coalition under a multi-corporate oligarchy.
