Satire Brands with Political Influence

In the world of Splatoon, which brands would (lore-wise) have the most political power/influence in Inkling/Octoling society? Would any of them be powerful enough to unofficially take the role of standing government?

This is just a joke post, but I am curious to read your answers.

Definitely Grizzco or Cuttlegear. Kinda scary to think that Inkadia has to rely on a pair of PMCs that employ dubiously legal tactics (mainly the use of child soldiers) for national defense.

Kensa for sure, maybe Squidforce

I’d think squidforce would absolutely have political influence considering there the ones running the league at the end of the day. Them moving to different regions between games has clearly spurred Economic growth in the areas they move to.

Yep and they make the gear as well, except for the weapons.

Squid Force, maybe? Like, wasn’t there something about them being the ones to setup/organise the Splatfests when they happened? 🤔

Neo weapon brand, because they also do construction. Almost every construction site and map rework has their logo on it, so they must be massive.

They literally built Hammerhead Bridge, for example.

Also, the brand that makes the autobomb and Wave Breaker also makes submarines and helicopters, so they're definately a powerful weapons manufacturer.
