Comăndivius Incorporated is a Caphirian multinational commodity trading and mining company specializing in the export, import, and distribution of rare commodities and slaves. Its portfolio includes precious metals like rhodium, exotic textiles such as sea silk, rare animal products including ambergris, crops like Kaleic coffee, and pigments such as Sanguis Draconis (dragon's blood resin). Established in 1534, Comăndivius was one of Caphiria's first chartered companies and the first authorized to hold a FCS license in 1692, allowing it to participate in the commericial slave trade.
Today, Comăndivius controls approximately 90% of slave trading activities both domestically and internationally, overseeing a complex caste system and the annual Iter Servitutis pilgrimage. Operations of the company gradually expanded over the centuries to encompass quasi-governmental powers, including the ability to imprison and execute convicts, negotiate treaties, and establish colonies. Comăndivius leverages its control over rare resources and the slave trade for diplomatic advantage, often acting as an extension of Caphirian foreign policy. In the contemporary era, Comăndivius has operated as a private military company on behalf of Caphiria, using infrastructure from the Imperial Legion. The company also operates its own internal security forces that guards its production and mining facilities. In 1858, Imperator Arturpiulerix III seized control of Comăndivius after uncovering the company was supporting the rebel factions in the Odurian War. Following a brief but intense proxy war in March 1859, Comăndivius was defeated and restructured as a state-owned enterprise. In 1946, the government of Caphiria listed a portion of the company onto public trading via an initial public offering (IPO), with 5% of shares being locked for loyal patricians and military leaders.
The Aerarium Investment Corporation (AIC), Caphiria's sovereign wealth fund, maintains a 51% controlling stake in Comăndivius.The current Chairman and Chief Executive is Daricardo Pavia Sarbabi, appointed in 2014. Comăndivius is one of the world's largest integrated producers and marketers of commodities. It operates hundreds of production facilities all around the world and supplies metals, minerals, crude oil, oil products, coal, natural gas and agricultural products to international customers in the automotive, power generation, steel production and food processing industries. In the fiscal year 2035, Comăndivius reported revenues of $589 billion, making it one of one of the largest and most profitable corporations in Caphiria.
