	* Central Africa is a mystery, the Awakened jungles covered everything and most of the tribes have banded together in a shamanic confederation to keep the corps out.		* Central Africa is a mystery, the Awakened jungles covered everything and most of the tribes have banded together in a shamanic confederation to keep the corps out.
	* Madagascar is...scary. Most of the inhabitants were killed by the VITAS I plague, while the rainforests Awakened and grew exponentially. The only people there now are fortified pirate settlements on the coastal regions. Creepy shit happens in the interior of Madagascar, like ghostly eyes watching people from the shadows, rumors of a monstrous many-headed dragon-monster, and whispers of secret labs experimenting with HMHVV to make super-vampires. Hardcore pirates have been broken by Madagascar's jungles.		* Madagascar is...scary. Most of the inhabitants were killed by the VITAS I plague, while the rainforests Awakened and grew exponentially.

			Turkey split in half between Western and Eastern Turkey, and whilst Western Turkey remains a secular democracy, Eastern Turkey most of the Middle East remains a racist Islamofascist hellhole that hates metahumans and magic users in general.

			The Sixth World is expected to end in-universe around 7137 AD, with what the Seventh World will look like being anybody's guess but presumably civilization will take a severe beating due to the Horrors overwhelming the world due to the high levels of magic but with the next one being vastly more advanced than the present one.

			What you can count on however is that a deal with a dragon will still be a bad idea, elfs will be shifty pricks and mages will still need some good 'ol geeking.

Megacorps

Line 117:		Line 117:
	* '''Aztechnology''': Mexican. Subsidiaries include Stuffer Shack and the entire country of Aztlan. The most outright evil megacorp, Aztechnology also has some of the best PR in the world to keep the skeletons in the closet, such as their regular use of blood magic, their origin as a front company for three Mexican drug cartels, and their attempts to monopolize the world's food supply. They've appropriated Mesoamerican culture for their corporate image and engage in imperialism by proxy through Aztlan's expansion into South America, which has gone about as well as can be expected for any evil organization banning Catholicism in Latin America. Running for them is a good way to destroy your professional reputation among other shadowrunners, as well as to get cut up for spare parts by your new bosses. And if you run ''against'' them, try not to leave any hair or other traces behind, or they'll use it to track you down.		* '''Aztechnology''': Mexican.

	* '''Evo''': Russian/Japanese. Subsidiaries include CrashCart. Formerly known as Yamatetsu, the fiercely xenophobic leadership of the company has given way to a free spirit and the ork son of the company's founder. Its core markets include augmentations of all kinds and metahuman-friendly products.		* '''Evo''': Russian/Japanese. Subsidiaries include CrashCart.

	* '''Horizon''': American. Appeared out of nowhere in 2061 as a media-focused megacorp, jumped right to AAA in '65, and maintained a suspiciously squeaky-clean image until it came to light that they were experimenting on technomancers and engineered a massacre in South America. They're one of the more internally dynamic megacorps, with a lot of emphasis on teamwork and a willingness to offer A.Is citizenship, though there's rumours of some mysterious "Consensus" running the show.		* '''Horizon''': American.

If they hire you for a run, watch your goddamn back and don't trust a word out of their mouths.

	* '''Mitsuhama''' Computer Technologies: Japanese. Entertainment and computer hardware giant. A Yakuza money laundering front that went horribly right, so much so that half the yakuza outright went straight because it was making more money than the crime. Though, if they ''want'' some yakuza muscle on the payroll, they don't have to jump through any hoops to get it. The "Zero Zone" is their trademark security method, wherein they kill intruders on sight with no surrender asked. Their jobs tend to be a mixed bag, here meaning that half the time they pay well and go off without a hitch and the other half they try to pay you in lead after shitty intel already killed half the team.		* '''Mitsuhama''' Computer Technologies: Japanese.

	* <s>NeoNET</s>: American. Formed from the merger of Novatech, Erika, and Transys Neuronet after Crash 2.0. Its core markets are in the telecommunications fields. Its corporate history stretches back decades to Fuchi Industrial Electronics, the creators of the first-generation cyberdeck. Also helped in developing experimental medical procedures using nanotech, which runners disrupted and caused the CFD outbreak. Oops. Boston has to be locked down, and thousands are trapped inside, not to mention the new fear that just about anybody can be a headcase. The UCAS sued NeoNET and Celedyr in the Corporate Court, who ordered reparations and relief to be paid to the UCAS, NeoNET to be shut down and broken apart, and the CEO to be barred from any executive positions for 10 years. (This was the same guy [[Just As Planned\|who ran and destroyed]] Fuchi to found Novatech to enrich and empower himself, and then did it again to found NeoNET.) Most assets have been sold to up-and-comer Spinrad Industries, and the seat on the Corporate Court "leased" out to Spinrad, making Spinrad the new AAA. There's a lot of open questions about what happens when the old CEO's ban expires in 10 years and he can use his seat on the CC again.		* <s>NeoNET</s>: American.

	* '''Four Horsemen''': Four-man group of psychotic toxic shamans themed around the Biblical Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, with one member operating on each of the major continents. Notable for setting off a bunch of disasters and violent incidents all over the world, with one member (Famine) waging open war against A/AA agricultural corporations down in Africa.

	* '''Dawkins Group''': The NSA and CIA of every conspiracy theory ever. ~~They're Horizon's Spec Ops department; a~~ bunch of social adepts who specialise in memetic warfare, information manipulation, and deep-cover spying. Might have agents in all the ~~other~~ triple-A corps and definitely have fingers in Seattle's government, manipulating them to their employer's advantage. Also, strictly speaking, an urban ~~legend~~.		* '''Firewatch''': Ares' Macrotechnology's high threat response team. Elite PMC comprised of super-highly trained magic-wielding commandos, directly employed by Ares for major operations like taking down insect spirits' hives or fucking with dragons.

	* '''Desolation Angels''': all female biker gang. They recruit primarily from abuse victims and spend a lot of their time hunting both rapists and insect spirits. In actuality, they're run by a bunch of mantis spirits, who are in fact, not interested in devouring humanity, but instead eat other insect spirits. Notable for infiltrating the republican party and assassinating a presidential candidate who was actually a wasp spirit.		* '''Desolation Angels''': all female biker gang.

	*'''The Tiospaye''': Means "Extended Family" in Lakota, they are also known as the Lakota Mafia. They basically own the shadows in the Sioux Nation. All the style of the Italian mob with all the brutality of the Yakuza. They've become more vicious in recent years due to the psychotic son of the old mob boss assassinating his old man.		*'''The Tiospaye''': Means "Extended Family" in Lakota, they are also known as the Lakota Mafia.

	*'''The Sons of Sauron''': A policlub of Orks & Trolls who believe the only way to stop the likes of Humanis Policlub and other hate groups against Orks & Trolls (and ostensibly, to a lesser degree, other metahuman types) is with extreme acts of violence, which often gets them labeled as terrorists. Closest thing to a leader they have is a troll calling himself Gothmog, who fans of the movies may remember is that tumor-faced Orc general, and who fans of the books remember was the name of ~~a Boldog,~~ the ~~original Demon-Orcs who were said to have interbred with tortured Elven prisoners into creating~~ the ~~first mortal orcs in some of Tolkein's background ideas~~.		*'''The Sons of Sauron''': A policlub of Orks & Trolls who believe the only way to stop the likes of Humanis Policlub and other hate groups against Orks & Trolls (and ostensibly, to a lesser degree, other metahuman types) is with extreme acts of violence, which often gets them labeled as terrorists.
