Transargic Oil, Standard Amenities as it was called in the beginning, was founded by Ronald Jenkins in 1915 as a gold mining company in the gold rich province of Wendover. Jenkins was a privileged man, as he was born in 1870 into a rich family that owned many gold mines in the Wendover Gold Rush. He worked for his father's company, Jenkins Mining, as a CFO until 1900 when he became a stockbroker in Charleston, there he made upwards of 3 million Poggles, worth 10 Million today. He quit the stock market and married to Martha Jenkins in 1910. After he moved back to Wendover, just down the road from his parent's house, he purchased 25 km² of land in Southern Wendover. From there with only half his budget he went on a spending spree, hiring any able persons and every digging machine in sight. He spent two years digging and did find some gold, but not enough. He decided to dig all across his land and didn’t get very deep in enough time, causing a gigantic loss of over 5 million Poggles (Worth 15 million today). Eventually, with help from his family, he got on track and dug in the same area before moving on. This was a massive success. He made 10 Million in his first year of digging (30 Million today), but gold and silver was losing its value. Ronald met an old friend from the stock Exchange, his name was David Georgeson, and he was making it big with oil in Argis. This inspired Jenkins to sell his depleted land in Wendover and buy oil rich land in the northern provinces. From there in 1915 he founded Transargic Oil, and begun digging for oil. At its peak in 1924 TAO was producing 5 million barrels of oil a week which was too much for PyeMcGowan, so TAO started exporting across the Argic Ocean and throughout mainland Argis. Over the years, TAO became more powerful and started buying up all the oil companies in PyeMcGowan, effectively becoming a monopoly. But in 1939 the Bank of PyeMcGowan’s Corporate regulation committee dismantled the organisation into many smaller groups. But Ronald kept shares in them and became very rich in his later years. Jenkins died in 1950, which was also the year that communists took control of PyeMcGowan and started executing all wealthy businessmen. As his family, including his son, George Jenkins and daughter Andrea Jenkins, moved to the Leverne Islands, along with over 2 million residents including the royal family, they took with them a sum of over 14 Billion Poggles. The expanded Family moved back to PyeMcGowan in 1963 after the communist government was overthrown. Now members of the Jenkins Family are in top positions across the world, including Board members of United Corp, Edward Jenkins and Simon Jenkins. Of course, the Jenkins were a charitable bunch as they founded the Jenkins International Foundation, which funds orphanages and refugee housing across the world.
