Ultima

Ultima is a mining company, with the most employees, control over the world and the most money. It's the biggest company but it treats its employees like complete trash. However, no one knows this except the employees. The jobs range from Farming to mining, to finance. Everything.

All the people who currently live in the countries that were formerly known as one of the kingdoms by the kings who found Half Grass work there. It gives jobs out to the unskilled, unemployed, everyone. Soon, everyone started wanting to work there due to the low entry rate. With more employees, they bought more land. They are all forced to live on the land of the company and cannot exit unless granted permission, and it states so via contract. Any outlaws will be hunted and have a generous bounty on their hand. Big enough so that anyone working outside of Ultima will be willing to go after it.

Ultima even voyaged out into space to monetize on the Asteroid and Planetoid mining business. This is something they are unrivaled in, as no other company or even country has enough financial wealth to dare do so. The extremely rare minerals are all incredibly valuable, thus selling for a lot. They sell these minerals and also use them to expand their Ultima structures, which, of course, they get their employees to do.

Ultima started their mining business by finding this incredibly rare rock. It's name was Lucrium. It was basically the best material. It could fuel vehicles, weapons, everything imaginable. They used this material to kickstart their success and it's only been up hill since. The materials in the rock are what make up the Half Grass block, but incredibly compacted into one singular cube.
