United Manufacturing Corporation (UMC) is a state-owned manufacturing corporation in Nouvelle Alexandrie, headquartered in the city of Parap, Wechua Nation. It is involved in the production of a diverse range of products, including automobiles, aeroplanes, weapons, and medical supplies. Founded in 1678 AN as a state-owned corporation for the Wechua Nation, UMC is often tasked with meeting the manufacturing needs of the government during times of war, national crises, or emergencies.
History
UMC was established in 1678 AN by Royal Decree of Sapa Wechua Manco Capac I in the aftermath of the Wechua Restoration. UMC was founded as part of the government's efforts to create a self-sufficient manufacturing base after Wechua Restoration in order to begin the reconstruction of the country after it was decimated by its collapse and the White Plague. The company has since grown to become a key player in Nouvelle Alexandrie's industrial sector, stepping up to manufacture supplies and articles needed for the country during major crises.
Operations
UMC operates several factories across Nouvelle Alexandrie, each specializing in different areas of manufacturing. These factories are strategically located in various regions to utilize local resources and labor efficiently.

Workforce Development
UMC is committed to improving the skills and employability of the New Alexandrian workforce. The corporation runs several educational programs aimed at training unemployed and unskilled labor in various trades and manufacturing processes.
Challenges and Criticisms
Despite its significant contributions to the economy of Nouvelle Alexandrie, UMC has faced criticism for perceived inefficiencies in its operations. Critics argue that the corporation's large size and diverse product range can lead to bureaucratic red tape and slow decision-making processes. There have also been concerns about the quality of some of its products, particularly in the automotive sector. Furthermore, UMC's monopoly status in some sectors has been called into question, with some advocating for increased competition to stimulate innovation and efficiency. In response to the latter criticism, since 1700 AN, the government of Nouvelle Alexandrie has been selling off inefficient facilities and factories to private companies.
Future Plans
UMC is continually evolving to meet the changing needs of the economy of Nouvelle Alexandrie. The corporation is investing in advanced manufacturing technologies to improve productivity and product quality. It is also expanding its training programs to cover emerging areas such as digital manufacturing and automation.
