Summary​

Monpoly granted to company treats foreign regional HQs as part of that company

Description​

Granting a monopoly to your company will result in regional HQs from foreign companies being allowed to privatize building levels and an inability to nationalize those same building levels.

Steps to reproduce​

1) Grant a monopoly to a company; for testing purposes, use a country like France that starts with an existing company you can grant a monopoly to.
2) Let the company grow and gain some assets.
3) Grant investment rights to a country that has a company in the same industry.
4) Spam build around 50 levels of a building in that monopolized industry. Make sure the building is turning a profit and will hire up to capacity (no empty levels)
5) You will see that the foreign regional HQ will buy some levels despite the monopoly
6) You cannot nationalize those levels from the foreign regional HQ because the game says it has a monopoly despite no treaty granting them a monopoly and your own company having the monopoly.

Some screenshots:

My company has a monopoly on textile industries.

Note that the Confederation of the Rhine is my puppet.

But notice I can't nationalize any levels of the textile mills because of a monopoly:

The game is treating Rhine's company as having a monopoly.

You can't nationalize building levels if a company has a monopoly on that building type, even if they're owned by someone else. This happens regardless of whether another company owns the levels or if it's just finance centers and manor houses.
