(Aliens) How large has Human Civilization expanded, and what, if any, civilian governance is there but the Company (Weyland-Yutani)?

Speculation:
By the mid 21st century, many corporations transcended international barriers to become the first truly worldwide organizations, while the traditional nation states were still far more restricted.  As only a minority of each company ever existed inside each country, there was no possibility of governmental oversight, which opened the possibility of far broader expansion by these corporations.  Essentially, they quickly became feudal states, with minor responsibilities to each nation, but essentially answerable to no one.  governments exist, but Weyland-Yutani exists in a place where there is no one government to govern them.
