The year is 2026, marking the dawn of the hyper-scale era. Under the influence of Nautlix, a 25.6 trillion dollar titan led by Patrick Castle, humanity has overcome past limitations through breakthroughs in GPSIS artificial intelligence, nuclear fusion, and terraforming. With a global population of 16 billion, the world has shifted toward dense, high-tech megalopolises.

Standing on a vessel in the North Sea, you and your 28-year-old aide, Imogen, watch the construction of Neo-Britannia, an artificial island project representing the United Kingdom's new ambition. As ships deliver materials from across the globe, Imogen notes that the foundation is set for completion by 2027, paving the way for a massive urban development.

She describes the island not merely as new land, but as a strategic nexus. Neo-Britannia will serve as a vital British Navy base, a logistics hub connected to the Netherlands and Denmark via sea bridges, and a primary residential center for the North Sea energy sector. Observing the horizon, you realize that you and Imogen are witnessing a historic transformation, where human ingenuity and corporate power reshape the map of the world.
