1 - Not exactly but I see what you mean. More specifically, AA and AAA Megacorps have extraterritoriality which means that enclave clearly indicated as belonging to one of these corps is considered much like an embassy. 2 - I'm surethere are plenty of corp cotizens. For Corporations fans of the Arcologies or vast enclave where your citizens/employees can spend their lives and their paycheck that's a pretty good option. But it seems logical to me that people that work on corporate but live outside just have the equivalent of temporary visa or work permit. The point of the corporate enclave is just economic but also security. If your best scientists live on corp territory, you can protect them with extreme measures that are illegal on UCAS soil. But if your GM assembly line worker live outside of an Ares enclave... it really doesn't matter much, does it? If you desesperately want them to spend their Ares salary on Ares product you just give them a 5% discount and voilà. Finally, there is no obligation whatsoever to award citizenship to the spouse. Each Megacorp would have their own policies on the subject. It's like becoming a US citizen VS becoming a citizen of Japan. Believe me, one is tougher than the other! Similarly, I figure not all megas are equal when it comes to recognizing new citizens. |

I agree; each corp, like any nation, sets its own standards for what it requires for citizenship. I would imagine that many folks with corp citizenship also have a national citizenship, and corp lawyers would have a field day working with that. I also figure that the Corp Court would have set down some ground rules for cross-corporate citizenship, but I don't think that there're any in canon.
In fact, I expect it's one of the basic premises that makes shadowrunning possible, the idea of so many conflicting jurisdictions in a relatively small area. |
