I'm a player, not a ref, so I don't have all the details :-).

In our campaign, the entire party is the alterday crew of a startship owned
and operated by Trilon Inc. Trilon is a very large American company that
operates mostly in the French arm. They have their own planet (Kie-Yuma)
which, while nominally under American law, is really completely run by
Trilon.

You see, Trilon is taking the long view. They figure that Humanity is going
to be around for a long time, so they've started a terraforming project on
Kie Yuma (Planet looks alot like the one in Aliens :-). They are planning to
completely own/operate the resulting planet, completely severing any ties to
a national government.

Now for our adventuring: Our starship is one of Trilon's troubleshooter
platforms; if there's a Trilon problem somewhere they send us to investigate
and resolve the situation. This can be everything from labour disputes to
evil corrupt governments to capturing Kafer technology to saving New York
City from nuclear terrorists to...

This makes for a fun, useful venue for almost any adventure you can think of.
