The name "Sony" was chosen for the brand as a mix of two words: one was the Latin word "sonus", which is the root of sonic and sound, and the other was "sonny", a common slang term used in 1950s America to call a young boy. In 1950s Japan, "sonny boys" was a loan word in Japanese, which connoted smart and presentable young man, which Sony founders Akio Moriota and Masaru Ibuka considered themselves to be.
Rome (Italian and Latin: Roma [ˈroːma] ) is the capital city of Italy. It is also the capital of the Lazio region, the centre of the Metropolitan City of Rome, and a special comune named Comune di Roma Capitale. With 2,860,009 residents in 1,285 km2 (496.1 sq mi), Rome is the country's most populated comune and the third most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. The Metropolitan City of Rome, with a population of 4,355,725 residents, is the most populous metropolitan city in Italy. Its metropolitan area is the third-most populous within Italy. Rome is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio (Latium), along the shores of the Tiber. Vatican City (the smallest country in the world) is an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city. Rome is often referred to as the City of Seven Hills due to its geographic location, and also as the "Eternal City". Rome is generally considered to be the "cradle of Western Christian culture and civilization", and the center of the Catholic Church.
Rome's history spans 28 centuries. While Roman mythology dates the founding of Rome at around 753 BC, the site has been inhabited for much longer, making it a major human settlement for almost three millennia and one of the oldest continuously occupied cities in Europe. The city's early population originated from a mix of Latins, Etruscans, and Sabines. Eventually, the city successively became the capital of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, and is regarded by many as the first-ever Imperial city and metropolis. It was first called The Eternal City (Latin: Urbs Aeterna; Italian: La Città Eterna) by the Roman poet Tibullus in the 1st century BC, and the expression was also taken up by Ovid, Virgil, and Livy. Rome is also called "Caput Mundi" (Capital of the World). After the fall of the Empire in the west, which marked the beginning of the Middle Ages, Rome slowly fell under the political control of the Papacy, and in the 8th century, it became the capital of the Papal States, which lasted until 1870. Beginning with the Renaissance, almost all popes since Nicholas V (1447–1455) pursued a coherent architectural and urban programme over four hundred years, aimed at making the city the artistic and cultural centre of the world. In this way, Rome became first one of the major centres of the Renaissance, and then the birthplace of both the Baroque style and Neoclassicism. Famous artists, painters, sculptors, and architects made Rome the centre of their activity, creating masterpieces throughout the city. In 1871, Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, which, in 1946, became the Italian Republic.
In 2019, Rome was the 11th most visited city in the world, with 10.1 million tourists, the third most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist destination in Italy. Its historic centre is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The host city for the 1960 Summer Olympics, Rome is also the seat of several specialised agencies of the United Nations, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The city also hosts the Secretariat of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) as well as the headquarters of many international businesses, such as Eni, Enel, TIM, Leonardo S.p.A., and national and international banks such as Unicredit and BNL. Rome's EUR business district is the home of many oil industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and financial services companies. The presence of renowned international brands in the city has made Rome an important centre of fashion and design, and the Cinecittà Studios have been the set of many Academy Award–winning movies.

Bicycle company founded by professional cycler Cino Cinelli
Cinelli was founded in 1947 by Cino Cinelli, a former professional racer and winner of the 1943 Milan-San Remo. Although not an engineer, Cino was a dogged perfectionist, and in just 20 years his company became a leader in the production of racing handlebars and stems. Cino invented the first saddle with a plastic hull, the Unicanitor, and built the legendary Supercorsa frame, a true cult object of the period (still produced today).
In 1979 Cino sold his business to the young industrialist Antonio Colombo (already president of the Columbus bicycle tubing manufacturer). In Cinelli's products Colombo saw the technical perfection of the most efficient and elegant means of transport ever created. His goal became that of communicating this utopian perfection to the general public. Design was his tool. Over the next 30 years Colombo made Cinelli products contemporary, bold and playful, combining for the first time in history competition, design and lifestyle, developing innovative products such as the Rampichino, the first European mountain bike, the unforgettable Laser family, Alter, Integralter, Grammo, Passatore, and many others.
Fusing Design and Performance, in the second half of the 2000s Cinelli started the New Cycling movement, based on creative, nonconformist and countercultural values, thanks to the fixed gear. All values that are well present in the DNA of Antonio Colombo and Cinelli.

Razer collaborates with professional gamers to develop, manufacture and distribute high-tech peripherals that provide a competitive advantage in gaming. Back in the formative stages of the professional PC gaming industry, Razer entered the market with interesting solutions designed for gamers. Since the mid-90s, with the widespread proliferation of online games and the emergence of first-person shooters (FPS), it became apparent that outdated peripheral models were slowing down rather than improving the game.
In 1999, after years of research and development, the Razer Boomslang™ mouse was launched, becoming a gaming legend. With unprecedented 2000dpi resolution (compared to the standard mouse, which was only 400dpi at best), the Razer Boomslang was five times more accurate than the average gaming mouse. Not surprisingly, many professional gamers like Jonathon "Fatal1ty" Wendell and Sujoy Roy immediately became loyal fans. Within two years, more than 100,000 copies of the Razer Boomslang were sold.
The next big thing in the world of gaming was the Razer Diamondback™, announced in 2004 at the World Cyber Games finals in San Francisco. The Razer Diamondback is the first optical mouse with 1600 dpi resolution. Using Razer Precision™ technology, the Razer Diamondback was the world's first gaming mouse to win every major gaming prize available at the time. It also left the entire gaming peripheral industry far behind, earning Razer BoomSlangGamespot's Gaming Hardware designation in 2004. Considered the most fashionable gaming mouse in its class, the Razer Diamondback mouse received well-deserved acclaim from professional gamers who chose it as their "lethal weapon."
Keeping up with the pace of technological advancements and staying ahead of the competition for the last few years, Razer once again proved its advantage in gaming technology in the fall of 2005 with the launch of the Razer Copperhead™.
Featuring a laser sensor with a resolution of 2,000 dpi, the Razer Copperhead broke yet another world record-it was the world's first "smart mouse" with its own 32KB onboard memory. It's also the fastest mouse to date to use a full-speed USB bus, while other mice are still low-speed USB devices. The Razer Copperhead mouse is up to eight times faster than conventional devices.
Razer Tarantula Gaming KeyboardThe Copperhead mouse was followed by the Razer Tarantula™ gaming keyboard. It's the first gaming keyboard designed by Gamers by Gamers. Features of this keyboard include phantom-click suppression, 32KB of onboard memory based on Razer Synapse technology, ten programmable hotkeys for gaming and Hyperesponse™ key coverage with full key-swappable keys. The Razer Tarantula was announced at CES 2006 (Consumer Electronics show) and was named "Best of CES Show Finalist".
The fact that professional gamers also needed high-positioned sound and high-quality acoustics led to the development of Razer's first audio systems, the Barracuda™ HP-1 and AC-1. After a brief hiatus, the Razer DeathAdder™ mouse hit the market in late 2006. Equipped with a 3G infrared sensor, 1800 dpi resolution, and more than 2.25 times the speed of a standard mouse, the DeathAdder also features a record 1ms / 1000Hz response time and five customizable buttons.
Immediately afterwards, a new generation of gaming peripherals was released, the result of a collaboration and merger of Microsoft and Razer brands. The culmination of this cooperation was the release of the gaming mouse Microsoft Razer Habu and gaming keyboard Microsoft Razer Reclusa.
Further expansion of the product line came in the spring of 2007, when Razer and THX announced the joint release of the next-generation audio system, the Razer DeathAdder Gaming Mouse, focused on use with the Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse. The collaboration culminated in the introduction of the Razer Mako™ audio system at CES 2007 in Los Angeles and the Most Innovative of CES awards from Wired Magazine. The Razer Mako audio system represents a special class of audio system. The innovative downward-radiating design eliminates distortion caused by sound reflection from the table surface and creates a rich and omnidirectional sound coverage with higher sound quality.

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
The company is primarily known for providing IT infrastructure solutions, personal computing and access devices, systems integration, service support and outsourcing services, as well as printing and imaging products.
Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, the company has now turned into a huge manufacturing plant. But once upon a time, the now-famous manufacturer literally started from scratch. The first production facility was in a garage. Incidentally, this garage was restored in 2004. It is a kind of museum.
HP Inc. was founded on January 1, 1939, by William Hewlett and David Packard, both graduates of Stanford University. Both men had graduate degrees in electronic engineering. The company name was created from the two last names of the participants. They decided which surname would come first by drawing lots.
The company manufactured testing and measuring instruments. And its first product was a precision low-frequency generator, the Model 200A. The novelty of this device was that it used a small incandescent lamp as a resistor in a critical part of the circuit. As a result, the price was reduced, and the company was able to drive out its competitors. After all, the Model 200A was selling for about four times the price of competitors' products. Incidentally, the first customer was Disney Studios, which bought eight models at a time.
The company, which now deals only in computer hardware and peripherals, used to deal in all kinds of electronic devices that had nothing to do with computers.
By the 1960s, the company had grown rapidly. The company employed several thousand people. Sales were in the hundreds of millions of dollars.НР is now just one of the players in the electronics market. It is a reputable company whose solutions are respected and known all over the planet.

Fedor Vladimirovich Emelianenko is a Russian athlete, MMA fighter, four-time world champion in mixed martial arts - MMA in heavyweight according to Pride FC, two-time - according to RINGS, two-time - according to WAMMA, four-time world champion and nine-time champion of Russia in combat sambo. Honored Master of Sports in Sambo and International Master of Sports in Judo. Considered the best fighter in the history of mixed martial arts.
From 2003 to 2010, he was recognized worldwide by the most famous sports media (ESPN, Sherdog, Full Contact Fighter, MMA Weekly, Knockout) as the best heavyweight MMA fighter. During the same period, in the lists of the best fighters, regardless of the weight category (English pound-for-pound), he held the leading position, being in first place according to MMA.com, second according to MMANews and third according to Sherdog and was recognized by many by experts the best MMA fighter in the history of the sport. The list of defeated fighters includes: António Rodrigo Nogueira, Sammy Schilt, Mark Coleman, Ricardo Arona, Mirko Filipovic, Tim Sylvia, Andrei Orlovsky, Mark Hunt and other famous fighters.
For almost ten years he remained undefeated, which is unprecedented in the history of MMA. He received his first official defeat under controversial circumstances: on December 22, 2000, as part of the King of Kings 2000 Block B tournament, the Japanese fighter Tsuyoshi Kosaka cut Emelianenko's eyebrow with a forbidden elbow strike, and already at the 17th second of the fight, the doctors stopped the fight. Since within the framework of the tournament there had to be a winner who would continue his way to the final, and Emelianenko could not continue to participate, Kosaka was recognized as the winner of the battle. In this regard, many fans of mixed martial arts, not taking into account this defeat due to its illegitimacy, considered Emelianenko the only undefeated MMA fighter before his defeat to Fabricio Werdum, who defeated the “triangle” choke on June 26, 2010 as part of the Strikeforce 26 tournament. Loss to Werdum became the first in a series of three defeats in a row, after which Emelianenko's ratings in the lists of the best fighters in the world decreased significantly. After some time, having won several victories in Russia and Japan, he announced his retirement from the sport, but returned three years later, speaking with varying success in various organizations.

Pillars
Overview
Mini Royale: Nations is designed in a way that incentivizes and rewards social behavior first and foremost. A high-level overview of the MRN economy is summarized up by the diagram below.
As you can see, a key game design decision is to promote trade among the two types of players we see forming in MRN:
Competitive Shooter Players
Strategic Land Owners / Builders.
We believe that this will create a more collaborative and social ecosystem. In its most basic form, the Shooters will win items and tokens needed by Land Owners / Builders, and the Land Owners / Builders will win items needed by the Shooters - the two groups will then trade amongst themselves in order to get what they want most.
