First before I get into any discussion, do not bring women's rights into this. That is not only rude to women's rights to compare this to it. But it's also a bad move as a community member to try and drum up pity points from a straight up wrong comparison.
Now to discuss the stuff you said, I follow your logic @Rizzo it's just simply wrong <.< The cooperations have to be registerd, but that does not automatically make the workers part of the faction the cooperation is under. If some Abwehrans were working at teh Origin branch there, that does not make them Yamatai Faction. Also this does not stop independent RP. For instance, teh Wayward plot, even though they are doing a job for the ASE, they are still independent, they are just working a temporary contract.
Now your next point, this does not actually limit companies. Because if they don't like who they're registered under they can change. However I'm pretty sure it'll be rare for an FM to tell a company "You can't do business with this faction." For one that's just not good manners in RP, but also it's pretty freakin' hard to enforce, and not worth it ICly unless the two nations are straight out at war.
Look at all the corporation that were in the setting to begin with, Origin is the only one that was a 'faction' in any sense. The rest were all based in some nation or another, and they sold to who they felt like. Your potential isn't limited.
The -only- reason USO suffers is because their poor diplomatic relations with other nations. For one, that's realistic that the companies from there would suffer, but two this in no way stops companies from going international. They could easily if they wanted register in a separate nation since USO currently isn't recognized as a nation, and all these 'problems' you proposed would be fixed in an instant.
TL;DR:

TL;DR:
- Being employed by a faciton based company does not make you part of that faction
- The acutal limitations on the company are very sparse, and things like the player rights will keep people able to do what they want without being too restricted
- Worst come to Worst USO companies can register as part of other nations until USO is recognized. (As of right now comapnies are not banned from doing Business with the USO group, but rather USO companies are currently not allowed to set up shop in Yamatai and other IRC nations.)
- Edit: Just to clarify, 'location' is almost irrelevant, it has been said you can open up branch facilities and such. So just because you are 'inside' USO does not automatically permanently register you as an USO company.
