			'''Anders Malmsten''' is the CEO of Erika. He has been the CEO of Erika ever since the merger of Nokia and Ericsson to form the company in 2019. His influence was responsible for keeping Erika afloat through the Crash Virus of 2029, mostly by the nationalization of his competitors. He was even given a government-appointed role to oversee the process, and used the inside information to his advantage. By 2048, Erika had acquired nearly every other Finnish corporation.

	Publicly, Erika is seen as a corp with a distinct social conscience; Malmsten always underlines the importance of retaining a local workforce where over 90% are highly paid Scandinavians, even if it were more profitable to move production abroad.

	The company also helps to fund many of the welfare benefits the Finnish people enjoy and their military forces form the backbone of Finnish defense. One might think that it's hard for them to stay competitive, but you'd be surprised at how much you gain when your assets include a whole country.

	Unknown to most Finnish citizens, Erika nearly went under after the Crash of '29. Malmsten saved his corp by encouraging the nationalization of his competitors, even accepting a government-appointed role to oversee the process and using the inside information this granted him to his advantage. After the Euro Wars, when the threat of Russian Invasion had subsisded, Malmsten quietly arranged for several key nationalized companies to be privatized and sold to Erika, cementing its dominance. By this point, Malmsten had built up such a wide powerbase through economic success and years of behind-the-scenes networking, coercion and extortion that he could not be stopped. By '48, Erika had acquired every other significant Finnish corp, growing enough to achieve AA status.		Unknown to most Finnish citizens, Erika nearly went under after the Crash of '29.

There's no natural successor lined up either, so when he's gone there'll be a wild scramble to fill his top slot. Two of the chief contenders are Tommi Hakala, CEO of Alcatel-Nokia and a notorious ladder-climber, and Swaraj Verghese, the efficient director of operations for the WMI who has tight connections with the upper ranks of Transys Neuronet and key Scandinavian Union officials."'' --Kimi</small>		* ''"Malmsten is nearing ninety and is more absent from Erika's daily affairs.

	Though the public is ignorant of this, the all-seeing eye of Zurich-Orbital is not. The Corporate Court is pressuring Erika to use their influence in the upcoming summit, which might prove to be the wildcard we have anticipated.

If they were to switch sides, it might cost them some of their more powerful backers in the parliament, but at the same time they're afraid of pissing off the Corporate Court, especially when Saeder-Krupp has iut out for them. Most likely they will play both sides but they may get caught between the hammer and anvil."'' --Snoop Catt</small>		* ''"This has really put Erika on the spot.
