Background:
The world experienced a period of rapid population growth which put a strain on global food and energy supplies. As populations increased, so did the gap between the wealthy and the poor and so did the unrest between the classes. Eventually, violence began to erupt, and the governments quickly lost control of their populations as cities were consumed by terrorism and anarchy. People began turning to corporations, complete with private armies, to keep them safe from the chaos.

In the midst of the meltdown, the world's six most powerful corporate conglomerates decided to do away with national governments and install their own brand of rule and law. They launched a full scale war on the nations of the world which came to be known as the Nation Dismantlement War.

Using advanced Armored Core technology, the corporations decimated the forces of the nations and declared victory in less than a month. The old nations of the world had been toppled, and the corporations set to work on a new system of government.
