What if the ASBs suddenly made it so that the top 10 most wealthy organizations that were not nations suddenly became countries?
This could include businesses/corporations/states/provinces/people/religions.
Also, for organizations that spread too far, they have to pick their most centralized area from which to operate. For example, Microsoft might pick an area about 3/4s the size of the U.S. state of Washington as their new territory.
Example: Wal-Mart Stores Incorporated, 1/2 of Arkansas.
I don't know, just a sudden idea. Do whateva with it.
