Things a Megacorp will have

• Private Armies: Large numbers of armed guys to carry out it's will.
• Company Towns: A town where everything's owned by a company. You not only work for the company here, you live in company housing, eat at a company canteen, drink at the company bar, shop at a company store, send your kids to a company school, etc. Usually you're paid in company scrip (coupons that are good at company facilities) and the prices are high.
• Sub-Divisions: A Megacorp will have it's fingers in a lot of pies. Often it will try to control as much as it's supply chain as possible to reduce costs and it will acquire things it deems useful.
• Fixers: People who can sort out issues for a Megacorp that they'd rather not do overtly. This ranges from spying to engineering scandals for their rivals to assassination.
