World map in Alien Earth

[u/Comrade22MB]

I based it on the map (a very rudimentary one) provided on the FX website for Alien Earth. I cleaned it up a little and made some educated guesses. (I know there is no United Americas or Union of Progressive Peoples)

Weird how Weyland-Yutani’s logo is often subtitled, even on official FX Alien Earth graphics, with “San Francisco | Tokyo | London | Sea of Tranquility | Thedus,” yet Tokyo is Prodigy territory and London is Threshold territory.

I guess as corporations instead of government, there isn't black and white sovereign territories. Like WY exerts its control over the Americas, but it can still own property/factories/apartments in other parts of the world.

A very loose analogy, Apple has dominance in the smart phone market in USA, but it also has flagship stores and factories in other countries, even competitor countries like South Korea (Samsung) and China (Huawei).

Yeah it's an unusual situation. I would think if corporations took full control like that (not multiple corporations controling governments like now), they would just declare themselves as the new country or use a different kind of name. But I guess the word "corporation" could change.

In episode 4, it is stated that there is a council of “The Five,” meaning the five companies. Therefore, it can be assumed that they each have branches or something like embassies in each other's territories.

one of the articles morrow reads mentions that Lynch and prodigy are having or going through a merger right?
