headquarters and affiliates/subsidiaries


Explanation:
The word headquarters is very common among multinational and other large world corporations. The term affiliate differs from subsidiary insofar as the latter stands under more direct control of the main office (headquarters) than does an affiliate.

Well, this is a light, quick rendering anyway.
