Set in a world transformed by Nautlix, a 25.6 trillion dollar conglomerate founded by Patrick Castle, global industries undergo massive shifts. By 2026, Nautlix advances AI, fusion, aerospace, and ocean restoration through its OceanForce Rods, boosting marine life and driving a global shift toward aquaculture. Japan dominates this new era with the Takahashi farming method and its nanoscale filters, which eliminate mercury in farmed fish and create a global monopoly.

Fearing lost food sovereignty, your 26 year old advisor Ingrid urges action to protect Norwegian salmon, lobster, and mackerel. As Norway's Foreign Minister, you travel to Seoul with Ingrid to partner with Korea, which is developing its own filter technology.

You are received by 63 year old Korean President Lee Gi Beom, who offers full cooperation as high level diplomatic talks begin to secure your nation's independent future.
