The Caradian Coal Company (Sarnechi: Campaști Întrependurul Caradic) is a nationally owned company in Caradia. Originally founded to finance the mining and distribution of Coal, the company has since expanded its focus to all areas of industry, including the Caradian steel foundries, transportation lines, and burgeoning nuclear power supply. The company operates and owns all industry at the national level, and is the only manufacturer and supplier of steel, coal, oil, and uranium in the Duchy.
In mid 1679 the CIC was subsumed into the CNSC by a decree from the King. The change allowed the CIC to begin participating directly in military development, and contributed a large amount of resources to the activities of the CAAT.
The CIC began experiencing financial difficulty in early 1680 AN, when it began experiencing competition from the Andromeda Tech Corporation. While the intense customer loyalty of the Caradian populace allowed the CIC to stay afloat, the high-tech and affordable options of the Andromeda Corporation was very encouraging to Caradian citizens; furthermore, the Andromeda Corporation quickly attracted a worker base due to its far more humane treatment than the conditions in most CIC factories and refineries, which have typically been categorised outside the duchy as "sweatshops". In mid 1680 AN, a CIC office building closed down, for the first time ever citing "financial strain" as the reason for closing. Following this incident, the CIC began petitioning the Caradian government for sanctions against the Andromeda Corporation in order to keep the CIC as the dominant corporation in Caradia.
