For corps, I would suggest that we put an upper limit on the
rating of the corps. I would suggest that we don't do anything about an
A rated corp, with preference for small ones, with say less than 50
employees, in some niche markets.
You could possibly also discuss who owns them, in terms of
whether they are wholely owned by the proprietors, or whether they are a
subsiduary of one of the megacorps.
A few holding companies could also be really useful.

If you like, you can have the Australian corps I posted a couple
of months back as one of the first entries. I can repost it if you like.

Doesn't worry me, as long as you let people know this is what you are
going to do.
