Random Corporation Appearing (Little Upsilon)

I turned off automatic corporation building in my country; I am 100% sure of that. At the start of this month, a new Fruit Corporation somehow appeared in my state corporations.

Anyone have an answer as to how this could have happened?

Did you start playing less than 14 days ago?

The GMs announced in today's game news that beginners would not be able to turn off auto-building of corps for the first 14 days.

Hugs and respect

Does anyone think that the parameters for corporations automatically closing might not be flexible enough? I had two automatically close due to low production and losses. But, both had sufficient cash to cover operations and were recovering. They were both in areas with chronic shortages as well.
