Seven Noble Companies

The Seven Noble Companies (Kwang: Bidàngà) are a group of Qonklaks-based multinational corporations traditionally seen as the biggest and most powerful companies in the nation, and by extension, the greater Southern Tammuz region. It consists of WangCorp, Mheiqyõ Group, Hãki, Chijo International, Ngo Group, Mimye HHB, and Pearl. In 1995, it is estimated that their combined total assets equated to about 82% of the Qonklese GDP.

Criticisms

Direct criticisms against their market domination has been limited due to limited access to the topic by both government censorship and illegal corporate manipulation on internet algorithms to deliberately hide or remove mentions of the topic. Although exact figures have not been published, it is rumoured that a large amount of Golden Kwang members, including members of the Politburo and the Central High Command, owns shares in each of the seven companies. Much of the tactics employed by the companies, including illegal business practices, are consciously ignored by these officials, motivated by profit and self-interest.

Much of these companies also own private security corps, which often receive training alongside official state armed organizations such as the Qonklese Revolutionary Grand Army or the SSIS. Furthermore, these companies employ private cyberinterest enforcement such as O5 Cybersecurity, under unofficial government sponsorship, to protect their market interests on the internet and censor potential harmful narratives or evidence against their companies.
