Dingo Enterprises
Dingo Enterprises is one of the oldest private companies in Natopia. Started by Nathan Waffel-Paine it remains under control of his descendants, although the structure and operation of the company has remained secretive for its entire history. It began business on Micras in 1497 selling widgets, small useless trinkets that were a fad until 1510. Widgets were a thinly veiled alternative taxing mechanism, to ensure Natopos paid out as salaries returned back to the government treasury.
In additional to manufacturing, it is also a holding company, and has, at times owned many subsidiary companies including Aeronautics and Space Shipyards (sold to the Natopian Defense Force), the Natopian News Network (nationalized), the Blue Hole (Alrodrian news now defunct), Dingo and Co. Jewelers, and various architecture firms.
