The J Andres Federation of Industry or simply Federation of Industry was formed on February 13, 1998 in J Andres as a collective of many major corporations.^[1] The Federation was formed in the hopes of the corporations being able to have their voice heard more readily and could be considered a tool of capitalism. The Federation used its subsidiary corporation, Anchor Security as it's military arm, until it eventually sold Anchor Security to President Richard Mercton in 2017. The remainder of the Federation of Industry disbanded before 2032.

FormationEdit

On February 13th, 1998, numerous J Andres corporations released a statement entitled, "The Federation of Industrial Powers." This document formed the basis of the Federation. The Federation uses threats of removing its money from the J Andres economy to get legislation it desires passed.

Governmental ResponseEdit

The Government led by President Alex Miller was displeased at the actions that the Federation took and promised that corporate assets would be repossessed and sold at public auction.^[2]

International ResponseEdit

The Tahoe Republic supported^[3] the Federation's formation while the nation of Crimea Iso disapproved.^[4]
