Hobart Corporation

The Hobart Corporation possibly controls the Hobart City, and continues the abhorrent market policies eradicated decades ago in the Union Group. Their discredited policies of labour representation and social benefits for the ‘needy’ contradict the basic neo democratic principles agreed on cessation of hostilities of the Great Euro-American war.

There is a conflict between Union City and the Hobart Corporation fighting over 'market' dominance since the LINC computer system was assigned control of all Union City functions twenty years ago, a determined economic war has been waged, and is being won, against Hobart which has consistently sought to undermine the foundations of the City's success. Fearing terrorism and sabotage, the Security Services tightened their security.

Many remark that Hobart Corporation is winning the "economic war" by flooding the market with "cheap, gimmicky garbage," though it is never clarified whether this is mere propaganda. Some video games are smuggled into Union City, such as Fleecy the Sheep, Nobby, Onan the Barbarian and Revenge of the Deadly Dandelions.

According to a news article in a LINC terminal, left-wing activists from Hobart introduced a mystery virus which caused the termination of at least 32 Union City residents of East Park block. It is possible however that this blame is to cover an internal malfunction.

Following the recently imposed trade embargo, measures were introduced to ration food supplies in Union City. Daily allowance for workers below status 3 is reduced by 40% and executive eateries no longer serve croutons.
