"We're bound for the border,
We're soldiers of fortune,
We'll fight for no country,
But we'll die for good pay.
Under the flag of the greenback dollar,
Or the peso down Mexico way."

- "Mercenary Song" by Steve Earle

A defence contractor based in Geneva, International Inc is the largest independent arms manufacturer in the world. Every world power has used, at some point, an International Inc design, so widespread is their influence.

The Arms Dealers

During the Second World War, International Inc changed the world with the invention of the Mobile Construction Vehicle and the module structures that it manufactured, which heavily shaped the tactics of both the Soviet Union and Allied Nations. Rather than spending the vast amount of money expended by other companies to stay on the leading edge of technology, International Inc prides itself on designing simple yet robust designs to provide to smaller nations. The acclaimed Scorpion tank, its most successful design, is used in more than sixty countries.

Most famously, the designs manufactured by International Inc can be purchased by anyone that can pay; though they refuse to sell to terrorist organisations, they admit that their mail-order forms make it difficult to verify their buyer’s origin and intent. However, despite their noteriety as the largest conventional arms dealer in the world, a sizable portion of their profits are donated to charities and aid programs in various countries. Ironically, most of it goes to help rebuild the very countries they supplied weapons to.

"Since the founding of our company, and our creation of the groundbreaking Mobile Construction Vehicle, International Incorporated has striven to allow nations to access top-of-the line arms and materiel at minimal costs, letting those nations who wish to remain independent do so, while supplying all walks of life with our easy to use mail order system. From our factories to your hands, International Inc. can provide you quality technologies for whatever you need."

- Andrei Orlov, founder and chairman of International Inc., page 2 of the International Inc June 1969 Catalogue.

Units

	Enforcer	Private military operators, Enforcers use submachine guns and grenade launchers to tackle various threats. They aren't particularly tough or skilled, but can be hired on the cheap.
	Enforcer Marksman	The budgeted II solution to battlesuits and vehicles is basically a hired gun with an anti tank rifle.
	Leopard LAV	A simple light armoured car with a mounted .50 cal heavy machine gun and seating for three additional personnel who can fire out of the windows, the Leopard is a recent design that is rapidly gaining traction on the world stage.
	Scorpion Tank	The Scorpion, despite its simplistic and old-fashioned design, is the most popular armoured vehicle in the world. They're sold so cheaply that it's not unknown for farmers to buy them as tractors. With a crew of two and a 30mm cannon, the Scorpion is a decent and affordable light tank.
	Marauder Tank	A heavy tank destroyer with twin 88mm guns, the Marauder Tank possesses heavy firepower, but lacks a turret, leaving it vulnerable to flanking. For protection, smoke grenade launchers can lay down a large cloud of smoke that protects the tank and others nearby, allowing for an unhindered advance or easy escape.
	Skysweeper Missile Tank	A missile armed AA platform, the Skysweeper can overclock its radar to enhance the effectiveness of other Skysweepers... and microwave airborne infantry and paratroopers!
	Vanquisher Artillery	A simple track mounting a howitzer on an adjustable base, the Vanquisher can fire in direct fire mode, which is effective against hardened structures and vehicles, or indirect fire mode, lobbing high explosive shells effective against buildings over obstacles.
	Starstorm Mobile Radar	Designed as a way for clients to have a cheap radar emitter, this heavily armored Radar Array is International Incorporated's answer for "How can we affordably market radar technology." The dish can passively detect hidden or cloaked units as well so long as if it has enough power.
	Skirmisher Heavy Transport	A vehicular transport with light armour and room for eight infantry, the Skirmisher is armed with a heavy machine gun for self defence. Instead of soldiers, the Skirmisher is also capable of carrying a large amount of ore.
	Dozer	International Inc uses dozers to make simple defences.

Watercraft

II Vortex LCAC

While International Inc. generally leaves the sea to their rivals, the Mediterranean Syndicate, II has not ignored the sea entirely, and does sell the Vortex to nations with smaller navies.

Defences

	II Battle Turret	An update of the classic turret design, the Battle Turret is a simple 85mm cannon in a tank turret on a concrete base.
	II Guard Bunker	A simple bunker with a machine-gun on a rotating base, the Guard Post can also garrison an additional infantry to supplement its firepower.
	II SAM Site	A battery of heat-seeking missiles designed to protect a location from air attack.

Structures

	International Inc Warehouse	These warehouses resemble the ones used by the Confederates, and this is no coincidence, because they are designed and produced by International Inc. The IntInc version however produces only the vehicles from the catalogue, as listed above.
	MK4 Spam Refinery	Part of II's original SPAM module lineup in WW2 was the Refinery, a core piece of any field base and battle line in its introduction. Now International Incorporated allows purchasers to buy (or rent) the MK4 variant of these same Refineries for their field operation needs.
	Ore Purification Plant	Developed as a compliment to any nation's needs for better economic output, these hybrids of office building and ore purification facility allows anyone to "rent a purifier", granting increased gains from any ore gathered and of course II gets a cut.

VIP Club Reinforcements

These products can be ordered during Minor Faction Deathmatch. Joining the II VIP Club grants customers access to full II arsenal, giving them an edge over non-members for a reasonable price.

	Businessman	Unassuming men in suits, they can enter your own buildings to increase their efficiency or set up portable offices to provide a small stream of cash.
	Huntsman Adaptive Gunship	Unarmed by default, this helicopter can not only lift up a single II defence, but also integrate the latter in a way not unlike Allied Multigunners. Moreover, the Huntsman can redeploy its cargo anywhere suitable on the battlefield.
	Jammerbolt	An updated version of the Firebolt, the Jammerbolt is equipped with both it's traditional machine guns and two Electronic Countermeasure Pods on hardpoints. IT can do an ECM Burst in order to cut off communications of enemy units and cause general confusion.
	Stalwart Heavy Tank	A heavy tank armed with demolition gun, it is typically created Stalwart Enforcers but can have them be replaced by our own soldiers instead.
	Stalwart Enforcer	Engineers reruited by International Inc, Stalwart Enforcers are tasked with crewing the Stalwart Tanks. And in a pinch can disembark to conduct repairs on their tank, or even other International Inc vehicles, or fight off infantry with their submachine guns.
