The West Adlantic Company (WAC) was a state-owned enterprise and public company founded on 11 June 1491, by Empress $personName of Orioni. Chartered to monopolise trade routes across the Adlantic Ocean, the WAC played a pivotal role in the commercial and imperial endeavours of Orioni during the 1Xth and 1Xth centuries. With its headquarters in Perseus, Orioni, the company managed a vast network of trade routes, colonies, and trading posts, facilitated by a fleet that peaked at over 100 ships. The WAC's operations significantly influenced the economic landscapes and colonial policies of the regions it touched. However, due to a combination of economic mismanagement, competitive pressures, and military conflicts, the company saw a gradual decline, culminating in its dissolution on $date. The legacy of the West Adlantic Company remains a subject of scholarly study and is recognised for its substantial impact on the history of global trade and colonisation.
