| - Marshall was listed as one of the most powerful men in the world by Times Magazine, Forbes, and the Economist. His company owns the majority of arable land in West to Central Africa, and controls a considerable amount of their fragile, but fast-growing economies. He also owns most of the Panama Canal after paying off the government of Panama to operate it. Also, his private military company, Zver Security Network are ranked as the largest PMC in the world with a combined strength of 105,000 employees. Widely criticized for his well-known unethical practices, racist beliefs, anti-gay and anti-semitic feelings, and strong leaning toward radicalism, Marshall is condemned by many groups the worldwide. His usage of war and corruption in Third World nations to further Pravus' own goals and ideals has also been condemned. However, he has received much praise for the construction of the low-cost high-tech residence of Altus City, in what use to be South Side, Chicago. The elimination of poverty in his own neighborhood received wide acclaim, though he was not present at the celebrations for the accomplishment. Marshall has been widely active at home, spearheading the construction of similar high-tech walled cities, which he states are the symbols of his company's wealth, power, and influence globally. Already since 2003, he has had twelve additional cities built. One in Panama, France, and Haiti, two more in the former United States, three in Africa, and four in China. Critics have stated that these cities have in effect, transformed Pravus into its own nation, which has been printing its own banknotes recently. Marshall has though rebuffed these remarks.
