Anyone else read the whole THE WORLD OF CYBERPUNK 2077 book?
There's actually a really fascinating story with President Meyers, the NUSA, and Militech that Mike Pondsmith and CDPR hammered out for the setting. The Fourth Corporate War ended with the nuclear destruction of Arasaka but the NUSA proceeded to blame Arasaka for nuking their own city and used the humanitarian crisis to nationalize Militech as well as divert their massive resources to rebuilding the country. Arasaka actually was kicked out of America for decades and there was real improvement right up until the point that Night City realized the USA wasn't helping them rebuild (for various reasons).
So when the NUSA moved to annex Night City, they invited Arasaka BACK IN.
Also, the nationalization of Militech failed because they proceeded to start putting their people in Senator positions, Governorships, and so on that Militech has effectively taken over the NUSA.
