Trivia

 * The radio host of Double Clef FM in GTA III and a minor guest in Liberty City Stories and Vice City is named Morgan Merryweather.
 * It is a parody of Academi, formerly known as Blackwater USA, a private military company infamous for alleged human rights violations during the Iraq War.
 * Devin Weston apparently owns 11% of Merryweather. Due to the immense size of the international company, this likely makes him the majority shareholder.
 * Throughout the story Trevor makes references to Merryweather as the "New World Order" private army and the Illuminati. Their emblem, the owl, is also a reference to the Illuminati and Bohemian Grove conspiracy. In fact when listening to private conversations with LSPD officers, they discuss the possibility of Merryweather eventually replacing them as law enforcement in the city.
 * On their official website, a map of the World shows Merryweather has several operations and bases across the continents in locations such as Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America as well as the Middle East.
