Egendom: Difference between revisions

The post-Anarchy Egendomar faced their first real political challenge in the mid-20th century when the Tomorrow Ministry began targeting their leading families in an effort to break up the power of these large conglomerates. Reforms such as removing Egendomar from the banking industry served to limit these conglomerates, while direct threats and actions against their owners were used to push them out of the political sphere. However, the Ministry's increasingly bold actions against the Cryrian elite and other government agencies ultimately ended in its destruction during the White November Crisis. Though the Egendomar played a key role in generating RIksdag support for the Ministry's dismantling, many of the proposed limits and reforms on their power had proven popular and thus remained in effect. The Egendomar later faced mounting opposition from increasingly progressive Governments throughout the late-20th century which advocated for economic diversification, but the absence of determined effort to break them up and a string of favorable electoral results following the Volscine Civil War left them largely intact.

Since the Cryrian Anarchy, Egendomar have been largely forced to cooperate with Cryrian labor confederations thanks to a high degree of collective bargaining coverage in the country. This has served as a limit on the reach and power of the Egendomar and has forced a shift away from the harsh and autocratic work conditions of the early-20th century. The conflict between the Egendomar and the labor confederations has often been used by Cryrian Governments and politicians to balance between the two powerful interests in the country. However, the labor confederations have little impact on Egendomar operations outside of the Kingdom, something which has become increasingly commonplace in the 21st century.
