IMHO, no. Corps should feature *very little* in Underworld. We already
know how they do their business, from Corporate Shadowfiles. That book
isn't very useful for actually running a game, but I found it contained
good background info. Anyway, even though corps can effectively do what
they please, they still have to abide by the laws of other countries in
some cases -- for example, if Aztechnology's dairy farm #26843P is on UCAS
territory, they cannot just do things there that are illegal in the UCAS.
Now I believe hormone treatments for animals are allowed in the USA at the
moment, but they're a BIG "no" in the European Union.

I had been thinking of pulling that together with the Netherlands -- split
Belgium in to and make Flanders part of NL. FASA doesn't seem to know what
happened around these parts (I live maybe 25 km from the Dutch/Belgian
border), so some books seem to say Belgium doesn't exist anymore as a
separate country, and others imply it does...
