User blog:Brick425/Octan's Influence on Lego City

Founded in 1992, the Octan Corporation is a large oil corporation based in Lego City. Its net revenue is over 2.5 billion green money tiles.

The Octan Corporation influences everything in Lego City from the government to the way citizens go about their lives. You can't go a single block without seeing some gas station or tanker truck owned by Octan.

Not only that, but it has its greedy corporate fingers in not only oil, but auto racing and, believe it or not, the "green movement". In 2012, they partly started going by Octan Energy and changed their logo to reflect their apparent desire to go green. However, this is obviously a ploy by the company to increase stock values, as the number of gas stations just keep going up.

The Octan Corporation also has a heavy influence in the local Lego City government. For one example, look at their police force. It's insane. Why? Simple: Octan pays for and owns the police. Why else would they have fortress-like police stations, yet so few cells? Because Octan doesn't care about the justice system. Pretty much every criminal they catch gets the chair. If they don't suffocate while in the trunk of whatever 2000 green money tile supercar Octan has funded now, that is.

And the people they label as criminals are most likely just people who have said no to Octan. The resistance, if you will. Unfortunately, in 2012, this resistance was pushed back into the forests just outside the city. Of course, however, the paramilitary that is the LCPD pursued them there to finish them off. Lately it's been a stalemate, but we can only hope they can manage to drive the LCPD back to the corporate controlled hellhole from which they were purchased.

In short, say no to Octan. They rule Lego City with an iron fist. They've turned the once beautiful and happy city into a vehicle for which they place nothing but their propaganda, and the LCPD to torture and kill anyone who steps out of line.
