Nordic, fully known as the Nordic Corporation, is a corporation founded on February 22, 2015, by _frozen. As a result of Colafest, AMR Corporation went into a long-term standstill, which led to the creation of Nordic.

Nordic is broken into three major divisions: Nordic Agricultural (farming), Nordic Franchises (franchises), and Nordic Transport, which covers three sub-divisions ranging from providing transportation access through technology, railroads, and water.

History

Nordic Corporation is a company that was spun off from AMR Corporation. After events in early 2015, _frozen found it necessary to spin off active divisions of AMR Corporation and into their own company to ensure the newer AMR Corp properties lasted. There are no plans to sell other portions of the AMR Corporation other than this current spin-off.

Nordic was founded on February 22, 2015. Its headquarters is in the Corrigan District of Whitechapel and occupies almost three-fourths of the Corrigan Ferry Plaza Tower Complex.

On November 24, 2015, Nordic Agriculture was founded, adding a third division to Nordic. It covers major farming operations in the Sheepshead District of Whitechapel. Future expansion of the agricultural business, especially along the Seneca Canal, is planned.
