RED (Reliable Excavation Demolition) and BLU (Builders League United) are subsidiaries of TF Industries, which allegedly specializes in "demolition operations" and "construction operations" respectively. In reality, from behind a myriad of sub-fronts, they secretly control half of the world's governments each. Red is led by founder and CEO Redmond Mann while Blu is led by founder and CEO Blutarch Mann. Beneath the convincing exterior of their bases of operations can be found computer racks, satellites, rockets, and missile installations.
Each corporation administers its half of the world with a multi-disciplined army of paper pushers. For any problem lacking an obvious bureaucratic solution, mercenaries are contracted to address the situation through a massive application of force. Conflicts between the two companies began as land disputes between their leaders and have continued for about a century to the present day.
BLU and RED share an intense rivalry, with nearly all encounters between the two quickly escalating into brutal and often fatal violence. Inter-company friendship is also strictly forbidden by contract. Despite this, the BLU Soldier and the RED Demoman at one time became fast friends after meeting each other at a projectile weapons expo. Once this was brought to the attention of the Administrator, however, she pitted them against each other in a deadly competition that promised a mysterious new item to the winner, twisting their former friendship into a bloody war.
RED favors a more rustic style of architecture while BLU favors a more industrial style of architecture. Both teams' dress code, however, is rather liberal, requiring that employees adopt a red or blue motif for easy identification. This could also be for identification by Sentry Guns.
