NATEM

NATEM is the supercorp responsible for the story of Broken Reality. They are responsible for transforming the internet into navigable 3D environments.

Backstory
NATEM began as a small server created by two friends. As they invited more people and the server grew, investors became interested in it. This caused a schism between the founders, with one calling it "the end of fun" and the other calling it "organic growth". Introducing capitalism to the server brought many problems: users isolated themselves, restrictions were placed, and services were commodified. The partners split because of this, and one of them supposedly left. However, their account was never deleted.
