Ceironian National Industrial Conglomerate

The Ceironian National Industrial Conglomerate (CNIC), is a Ceironian multinational, multi-industry military and consumer goods manufacturer headquartered in Kashini City, Kashini, Ceironian Union. It was created through a restructuring of the Ceironian National Arms Corporation on May 18, 2454, and became the parent company of the Inron Arms Company, Latango Arms Incorporated, Spania General Arms and North Kashini Arms. Later on, upon branching outside of military-industrial manufacturing, additional companies were either founded by or absorbed into the corporation, namely Nimroy-Hawkings Co, the Kashini Extraterrestrial Company, Svantara Fusion Inc and the Mass-Calculator Company, for the full list, see list of mergers and acquisitions by the CNIC. The Nimroy Family have remained as the controlling shareholders, board members, and employees at the CNIC for most of its history, aside from a hiccup in 2463 to 2475 generally known as the Volgov Period. The CNIC is the world's largest company by revenue and has secured that position for a majority of its existence.

2454-2463: Founding, incorporation & Douglas Nimroy
The CNIC was founded on the basis that it would legitimise the functioning cartel between Inron Armaments & Armoured Automobiles, Latango Arms and Spania Aeronautics, and lessen public and political distaste towards the "alliance" between the Ceironian Union government and the previous iteration of the conglomerate, the CNAC. Another factor was Douglas Nimroy's personal and organisational preferences towards business management, as creating an entirely legal and legitimate corporation as opposed to the cartel meant that the company dissolving from the inside would be impossible, with only worries from public movements and politicians who wished to "anti-trust bomb" the near monopoly over military-industrial production. Immediately after the founding of the new corporation, all of the established subsidiaries were renamed from the Inron Arms Company, Latango Arms Incorporated, Spania General Arms and North Kashini Arms to in the same order as Inron Armaments & Armoured Automobiles, Latango Naval Construction Inc, Spania Aeronautics and the Kashini Extraterrestrial Kompany.

2481-present: Stock crash, Obadiah Stane's leadership & the return to profitability
Upon the instantaneous aftermath of John Nimroy announcing his murdering of the leader of the Anti-War and Counterculture Movement, and the High Marshal of Ceironia, the stock value of the company plummeted to near zero. That combined with threats from the Ceironian government to seize all conglomerate assets as a result of the insurrection, put the new CEO of the company, Obadiah Stane in a precarious position to begin with.
