I thought that the glukkon queen owned the magog cartel. If she does, then the vykkers work for the glukkons. And i just realised that the 2 main villains in the oddysee's are both spelled with 2 K's.. Coincidence or are they just oddly spelled anyway?

Nope. The Glukkons are just one family within the Magog Cartel. Lorne has said a few times that one of the over-arching themes of the Quintology is that there's always another level of power behind the powerful.

Probably just due to the fact that both names were made up by the same person's imagination.

It's quite interesting, I guess, I thought that the Vyker's Pharmaceuticals was a syndicate entirely separate to the Magog Cartel. But then I suppose the very nature of a cartel suggests that the Vyker's Conglomerate could exist within it.

On another note...this business aspect of the game helped me pass my GCSE Business exams and my AS economics. Fun!

Out of interested. Did FeeCo go to more places we didn't see in Abe's Exoddus or was it just the parts we saw?

I ask because I always thought it would be cool to use FeeCo again as a hub section but instead go to different places around Oddworld.

I assume it's a lot bigger than what we've actually seen. I'd say that about most things on Oddworld though considering what's happening in all the backgrounds.

This. I'd also assume there are other FeeCo Depot hubs.

If the Magog Cartel englobes the Vykkers and the Glukkons, and the association of Vykkers is know as the "Vykkers Conglomerate", what is the name of the Glukkon association?

Perhaps that's what the Ugaia (sp?) Estate is?

Bear in mind that the Industrial Glukkons that we have seen so far have all been descendants of Lady Margaret, but not all the Glukkons in Mudos are her descendants. Presumably the Industrialised ones have their own family businesses.

Hmmm I would have thought that the Ugaia Estate is indeed the name given to one of the families and that there are multiple Glukkon families.

So now the question is, are those families somehow part of a same group, and if yes, what's the name of the group?

My guess is that the different Glukkon families are seperate, and only some (or perhaps only even one) are/is part of the Magog Cartel.

Now I imagine homeless Alf walking through crowded streets, creeping people out by telling his odd stories and puns in hope of getting any money, after that getting drunk and going on a rehab.
