Alien: Earth - The world as it is

 leading from
 

a) A global map

A map of the world on the FX website shows us how the world is divided amongst five companiesWeyland-Yutani own North America, Threshold own Europe, Lynch owns Russia, Dynamic own north Africa, and Prodigy own Asia.


b) Who owns what according to the Maginot crew

In episode 1 of Alien:Earth, After a 65 year voyage, the crew returning to Earth catch up upon the world’s predicament about who owns what in the year of 2120.

The crew discuss how the four companies owned the globe, and then a new one Prodigy makes five.

Weyland-Yutani own the North America as well as Mars and Saturn

Dynamic own the moon

Schmuel:Say that’s Weyland-Yutani, Yeah, that's who we work for. 
Malachite: Oh. 
Schmuel: And they control northern side America. 
Malachite:And the moon, right? 
Zoya Zaveri: No, that's Dynamic. Yutani has Mars and Saturn. 
Schmuel:we were talking about the Earth. Who rules what? The kid hasn't done a social studies. 
Captain Dinsdale: There's four companies. They govern the entire globe.
Zoya Zaveri: Don't forget the newone, Prodigy. 
Malachite:What's that one? 
Petrovich:It's, uh, synth, AI. This started by a kid, maybe, 10 years ago? 
Chibuzo: Boy Cavalier.
Morrow:That's the one.
Petrovich:Youngest, trillionaire ever
Schmuel: Right. So there's five companies, right?

c) ‘The Triumvirate” becomes “The Five”

In episode 3, we see screen displays on the internet that tell us a little about Prodigy and its relationship with the other megcorporations, but most lines of text lacks the last few words.

We have the first four lines clearly seen in the Index page, but the rest you have to fill in the blanks, but sometimes it’s obvious. 

Perhaps we can read that Lynch controls South America which has suffered from drought and famine sibce a civil war.and has been clamoring to unify under the Triumvirate.

Meanwhile, Weyland-Yutani’a territories in North America and Asia were likely to feel the threat of Prodigy

d) In the interviews Alien, Ridley talked Ridley imagined that fifty years into the future, the world had been converted into the property of two or three large conglomerates, whose sources of energy are provided by the exploitations of deposits in space. (See: Industral conglomerates and their ships)

e) In the notes for the patches from Alien, Ron Cobb gave details about an implied future time line  mentioning the United Americas, the company Weyland-Yutani and a competitor named The White Dwarf Complex (See:Ron Cobb’s implied Alien future timeline)
