Forboldn Meliorative Society

Corporation governing Forboldn and controlling the implementation of the Forboldn Project.

Stockholders

Stock ownership in the new company was:

Original settlers - 51%;

First wave of new settlers - 20%;

Ministry of Colonization (for later distribution to more new settlers) - 27%;

Imperial family - 2%.

There are 100 million shares in all. 51% of the stock was distributed to everyone registered by a census in 1090, 2,166,114 in all, for an average of 23.5 shares apiece. The shares were distributed by a formula that gave adults more and children less than the average number of shares. The new arrivals from 1110 onwards each received 20 shares out of the Ministry's allotment. Due to some redistribution from sales and inheritances typical holdings today range from 10 to 60 shares.
