what is a corporate colony?

Question

i need some help finding this

Answer 1

Its easiest to explain with examples. Lets say Royal Dutch Shell find Oil in Africa. They decide to drill for it, so they build a village in the surrounding area to house and keep their workers, managers etc. Many British imperial colonies were based on this model, with cities being built to accomadate for the administrative centres of the empire/corporation.
In short, its a mini-country built from scratch to keep the employees of a corporation in the local area

Answer 2

it is a business related thing
