List of brands and businesses

This is a list of brands and businesses in HorsesPlease's stories.

	+ Notorious for being the very programme that banned the future king of Bujan, Dostagir, as the latter was the victim of a scam. As a result, the website was banned in Bujan, and later in Irajon and neighbouring countries due to rumours of its customers being rich Tornarin and Wannaenid elites.
	+ Closed in 1912 AT due to bankruptcy, as its customers moved to other payment apps. Its leader was arrested on charges of abusing his customers.
	+ An Ardeschen government official broke into its defunct treasury, where he found a vast amount of wealth. With the approval of the governments of Bujan and Irajon, he gave away the defunct business's remaining wealth, returning so much money that was lost to Telbaren's wolf agents (named for their relentless extraction of debt-ridden customers who were banned from the site).
* Jouster's Wonderland (jousting)
	+ The most widespread jousting equipment company in the Eastern Hemisphere. Rival to Vitaezja.
	+ They are better at high-quality equipment and specially-themed art, from festive lances themed after Vozonid or Sakautari festivals to limited merchandise that celebrated the latest films.
	+ Their slogan is "Everything you can wish for!"
* Hnizdo (bookstore, stationery; Rukania)
	+ A bookstore brand from Rukania. The name is from a Rukanian word that means "a nest", гніздо.
	+ Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't always sell jousting manuals and merchandise. Much of its products and sales are mostly writing equipment, novels (probably adventure, slice of life, and fantasy), encyclopaedias, and magazines.
	+ Notably, one former branch in Siangwaan became a resistance group against the Thralondian Empire.

### Bujanski brands

* Botsanik (picture and video blog)
* Čōsa (fashion magazine)
	+ Literally means "comber" or "bimbo".
	+ Its founder, Tatjana Irridorai, was an Ontemazei woman with pink hair. She was inspired by other friends who mocked her habit of combing her long hair, so she wanted to inspired girls and women all over Bujan to assure themselves that "fashion is not weakness".
* Čūdomæst, Chudomaest (convenience store)
	+ Literally means "place of wonder".
* 24/7, Dvōdsjačet-Sāmi, Dōčetsam (convenience store).
	+ An international grocery store franchise. Siangwaan has many branches.
* Meskredosk (social media and art website)
	+ Derived from "metsej" (a face) and "skerdoska" (writing table, a desk), referring to how Bujanski society might view its contests. The slamming of one's head against a desk represents shame and frustration from seeing what was inside the website, being mostly suggestive and romantic artwork of cartoon adults.
	+ This was founded formerly as a website for humorous fanart before young Arnadjanai adults took over the website's userbase, filling it with fanart. Although the fanart is largely indulgent to their deep appetites, it became a laughingstock in the rest of Bujan, as such contents looked too vulgar and ridiculous.
	+ One nickname for this website is Mjosskredosk, "meat desk", mocking the userbase of the site being dirty-minded Arnadjanai men and women as uncultured and crude.
* Blue Lobster (seafood)
* Prikola (energy drink, soda)
* Udar.сҍт, Udar.Saet (sports website)
* Ostrovnij (fashion shop)
* Vitaezja (jousting)
	+ The most widespread jousting equipment company in the Western Hemisphere. Rival to Jouster's Wonderland.
	+ They are better at durable equipment and bonuses (like discounts at every festive season and the ends of months, the best services for all workers, and jousting lessons).
	+ Their slogan is "Rise with us!" (Podn(ætǐs)ja So Mješ!)
* Paranja (flying car brand)
* Reclamation Association of Bujan (media franchise)
	+ Founded in December 1892 AT to gather media from past popular franchises, to remake or resume their episodes as their past owners were either long dead, gone, or have relinquished their claims due to the Wannaenid occupation.
	+ One of the most notable works by these hundreds of fans and artists was the third Bujanski remake of Broken Plates, an old show from Denlotian times.

### Sarmelonid-era businesses

* Ākul (beer, Sarmelonid Empire)
	+ Notorious for being so popular during the economic collapse on Ratirminoz's time, that it was associated with the national decline and poverty.
* Môk (beer, Sarmelonid Empire)
	+ Another notorious beer brand in the reign of Ratirminoz and his warmongering predecessor Maudolinnir. The brand name is short for "môkaidol", which means "useless". What was once a sarcastic trend ended up becoming a tragic prophecy.
