Due to facial reading software that can detect subtle and often subconscious movements, the [[Corporations]] have long used masks to cover their faces when negotiating deals. They started out as simple face coverings, but evolved into ornate, stylized designs that vary from person to person. They are considered a fashionable accessory in the modern age, to the extent that many lower level corporate employees will wear them at work (albeit more simple designs). Despite the negative connotations of the name, which originated in the time before they were common, they are common and accepted as normal or even necessary. *Note: These masks are rarely found outside corporate culture. Some politicians had begun to wear them, but they were seen as untrustworthy and it quickly fell out of fashion. However, some politicians who also hold corporate positions (particularly in the [[Saigatani Federation]], may wear them during their political duties).* Those outside corporate culture may refer to executives as “[[Leugenari]].” A pejorative slang term for Corporate executives, especially those who wear a Liar’s Mask.
