Instead of countries, the world of Mutant Chronicles is ruled by large companies; so called megacorporations. In the beginning there where a lot of them, but when the escape from the earth happened only four had survived. These four were Imperial, Capitol, Bauhaus and Mishima.

The corporations exploited the new worlds, but after a series of wars and the creation of the Brotherhood, a newcomer entered the scene. They used the stock exchange to create a crash, which led to a lot of cheap stocks that everyone was selling. Nobody considered that everything that was being sold was also is being bought. A couple of days later it became obvius what had happend and the new corporation showed itself. Cybertronic had come to stay.

Almost all of the human inhabitants within the entire solarsystems are citizens of a corporation. The corporation gives them a job, a place to live in, security and possibilities for the future. Two of them have a lot of non-citizen workers. They are Bauhaus and Mishima. The poorest people are a kind of slave. They work but do not get anything in exchange, except for Bauhaus where they get som sort of security and place to live in. In Mishima they are just transported to large underground cities where they are destined to live and work for the rest of their lives.

The friendship between the different corporations can variate. Since a lot of Bauhaus' top engineers and skilled workers, both militarys and civlians, defected to Cybertronic when it was created, the nobles in Bauhaus are impressed by its capability to recruit their best skilled personnel.
Capitol, the largest of them all, is dependant upon Mishima and its natural resources in order to make large numbers of weapons, cars and tanks. Mishima on the other hand is dependant upon Cybertronic and its advanced small electronic components for their mechs, and the plastic-metal material that Mishima uses in their weapons. The corporations are very bound to each other, but some are nonetheless fighting.
