->''Fischer Morrow has the regulators in their pockets. We're the last company standing between them and total energy dominance and we can no longer compete.

->''The Consortium... a secret organization that has never appeared in the news or reports. The organization isolates what is commonly "non-existent", confines it somewhere beyond the laws of physics, and studies it in a safe and unique way. The Consortium believes that whatever exists is real. Instead of eliminating humans, events, objects, and even phenomena posing a threat, The Consortium more often classifies, isolate, and contain them.''

-->-- Jonathan Irons, describing his PMC in ''Videogame/CallOfDutyAdvancedWarfare''.

->[Sovereign]'s a company. For-profit, legally incorporated on every civilized world. I get why you're asking, though - they're big, right? Most governments get one planet, Sovereign has 35. First company to rank in the galaxy's biggest militaries. It's not a government, but it sure makes governments nervous.

->In some countries, a [[PuppetKing civil government]] still ostensibly holds power while [[MegaCorp E.D.E.N.]] is the body that actually runs everything, in one way or another. In many countries, flags bearing the E.D.E.N. logo fly above capitol buildings. The fact is, whether or not public officials admit it, [[PrivatelyOwnedSociety E.D.E.N. effectively governs the world]]. In third world countries, it runs all the factories and keeps all the profits. In democracies, it decides who wins office. Europe, Russia, China, Japan — their economies are E.D.E.N. In the US, E.D.E.N.’s attorneys write the legislation, and its board of directors decides what passes. [[CorruptCorporateExecutive George O’Bannon]] and E.D.E.N.’s board of directors are, without a doubt, the most powerful and influential people ever to live.
