Popeye's Real Estate Holdings

The biggest corporation in Craysilt, Kingdoms law prohibits a business from stretching across multiple major population centers. It is an anti-monopoly measure that seems to work relatively well, although Roland Hartunian III recently ordered a study of the subject in his capacity as a servant working in The High King's Seat at court.

Structure

Patriarchy and meritocracy.

Culture

Quality of work leads to quality of life.

Public Agenda

Profits, with some tax-break altruism liberally dispersed throughout the year.

Assets

Plots of land in Craysilt, which they very cleverly leased back to their own company, which then built a number of warehouses and a shipyard. Their Midbay fishery venture has been incredibly profitable since their new foreman took over. He had been a fisherman himself, so he knew the business inside and out. They also own a savings and loan, backed by a vault full of gold bars and platinum ingots. That vault is said to be the most difficult vault, and most protected location, in the world.

History

One of the Hartunian Family Patriarchs, Dale Hartunian's great-great-great grandfather, loved his grandchildren more than anything else in the whole world. They called him "poppee", and the name stuck to the corporation he founded and funded. Their real estate ventures have been unspeakably profitable

Military

Popeye's quietly funds several mercenary groups and adventuring parties, who have been contractually obligated to provide military support if necessary.

Technological Level

They are artists, using the very latest techniques and technology.

Agriculture & Industry

The corporation owns tobacco and poppy fields to the west of the city, as well as cannabis fields butting up against cow pastures which were, even more importantly, psilocybin mushroom treasure troves.

Trade & Transport

Popeye's owns a shipyard that has produced several beautiful merchantmen for them. They have also recently produced several river boats, and built a new shed to custom engineer train cars. All very high end and expensive.

Education

Popeye's corporate headquarters are a very secure place. Perhaps just as secure as the Old Keep itself. Here, they sponsor classes and provide resources for their employee's education, offering them management positions if they worked out well.

Infrastructure

Shipyards, sheds, warehouses, docks, bulkheads, carriages, trains, various buildings throughout the city.

• Popeye's Savings and Loan
• Popeye's Boatwrights
• Popeye's Fisheries
• Popeye's Warehouses

Major Exports

Quality ships and river craft. Coming soon: RAILWAY CARS! Also charcoal that they make from their leftover ends and castoffs. They also sell (and use!) their sawdust as floor cover for their livestock.

Major Imports

They need literal tons of lumber, and buy it by the barge-full from the mountains up north. Of course, they own the logging company as well. And the teamsters lugging all of that timber work for a very profitable company that the Hartunian Family owns outright.
