Oermakt

Oermacht Motor Werken (: Oermacht Motor Works), or simply Oermacht, is a Tiperyn  automobile, motorcycle and military vehicle manufacturer. The company is the largest automotive manufacturer in Tiperyn, its third largest defense contractor and one among a limited number of corporations within Tiperyn where the state does maintain complete ownership or a over. Oermacht is an unlisted company, with the Idema family holding a controlling stake and the royal family and Tiperyn state owning minority stakes.

The company was founded in 1905 by Tiperyn business magnate Jelke Idema. Initially, the company produced single-cylinder gasoline-powered automobiles for Tiperyn's royal family and social elite as well as electric- and gasoline-powered for Ambrosia's public transportation network. As Tiperyn's first major company producing automobiles, Oermacht quickly attempted to produce automobiles cheap enough to be affordable by the average Tiperyn citizen, taking ques from Brigantic automotive manufacturers. The company thrived in the public transportation market, becoming one of Artemia's largest producers of streetcars and by the mid-1910s. Following the end of the Grand Campaigns in 1926, Oermacht experienced several decades of consistent expansion, becoming a regional automotive giant.

Oermacht currently operates several subsidiaries, with its primary market being Artemia under the brand name Oermacht. In addition, it controls subsidiaries in the Eurybian market based in Thesparos and in the Avalonia market based in Koryeo.

Branding and identity
The namesake and logo of Oermacht were created by founder Jelke Idema. Oermacht is a compound of the oer (meaning "over" in ) and macht (meaning "power"). Thus, the compound word in Tipslansk literally translates to "over power," "superior strength" or "predominance." The logo is an eight-pointed star surrounded by a silver ring. The star is composed of four arrows, representing progress, and forms a cross in the.

Labor exploitation in SiWallqanqa
In 2016, Oermacht's Avalonian subsidiary West Wind was subject to a Tiperyn Ministry of Commerce inquiry into exploitative labor practices in its automotive factories in the SiWallqanqan city of Lamara Jatha. The inquiry was the result of accusations of poor conditions, substandard wages for employees, the employment of children, regular coercion and abuse by managers, forced on-site housing in makeshift apartments, and little regard for regulations on breaks and working hours. The charges were brought forward by several activist groups in SiWallqanqa, supported by organizations primarily based in the League of Free Nations. West Wind was one of 14 Tiperyn companies operating manufacturing and distribution facilities in Lamara Jatha included in the inquiry. Lamara Jatha is SiWallqanqa's largest city and hosts a large with little to no regulation for multinational corporations and manufacturers.

During the inquiry, it was alleged that six workers had committed suicide at West Wind's primary factory in 2015 alone. One of the most famous anecdotes to come from the hearings was the case of a SiWallqanqan family being forcibly separated after the mother and father were fired from the facility but the children were forced to continue working and living on the premises. The investigation sparked international upheaval and boycotts against West Wind and Oermacht. Ultimately, the Ministry of Commerce did not find Oermacht at legal fault due to none of its actions being illegal by local SiWallqanqan standards within the special economic zone. Further arbitration was denied by a North-South Concordant tribunal due to SiWallqanqan being outside of the Concordant. Even so, Oermacht pledged that it would better the working conditions in its SiWallqanqan factories to meet international standards, although activist groups still claim West Wind is guilty of exploitative labor practices as of 2018.
