Subsidiaries
Zirunkariish Subsidiaries
In general, Zirunkariish shuns the concept of the wholly owned subsidiary. It prefers to bring in other minority investors, primarily the Imperial Family and the Zirunkariish controlling Shiishuginsa family. As a general corporation rule, these subsidiaries' employees are eligible for membership in the Zirunkariish Credit Union (ZirCU). These include:
- Urakkalan Co-Prosperity Development Trust: - This Zirunkariish subsidiary is committed to economic development of the Vland System through direct investment and other projects anywhere within the Vland system, except on the mainworld of Vland. It is headquartered on Gashema. Ownership: Zirunkariish--50%, Shiishuginsa family--20%, Sharurshid Trust--10%, Makhidkarun--10%, and Naasirka--10%.
- Zirunkariish Real Estate Investment Trust (ZREIT) - This Zirunkariish subsidiary is a Real Estate Investment Trust that makes and administers the corporation's real estate investments and real property holdings. Ownership: Zirunkariish--60%, Shiishuginsa family--20%, Sharurshid Trust--10%, and the Imperial Family--10%.
- Zirunkariish Healthcare System, LIC - This Zirunkariish subsidiary is a full service private healthcare provider that maintains a network of medical centers where the corporation has a presence.

- Zirunkariish Credit Union (ZirCU): Technically, ZirCU is not a subsidiary in the traditional sense; it is a Credit Union with ownership lying with its members in the form of a financial cooperative. Membership is from amongst Zirunkariish employees, past and present; employee direct family members; and employees and their families of other Zirunkariish subsidiaries. That said, both Zirunkariish and the Shiishuginsa family want ZirCU to succeed as it is a valuable employment benefit and supports company loyalty. To that end, every member of the Shiishuginsa family participates as a member. Additionally, in exchange for a 10% equity holding in ZirCU each, Zirunkariish and the Shiishuginsa family retain a permanent seat on ZirCU's Board of Directors. This is to the exclusion of any other member of the Shiishuginsa family ascending to the Board, and prohibiting senior Zirunkariish executives from doing the same. ZirCU branches can be found wherever Zirunkariish or its subsidiaries have a presence. ZirCU ownership: 80% - ZirCU members, 10% - Zirunkariish, and 10% Shiishuginsa family.
