Norway
Description
Norway defies global whaling bans, locking arms with Iceland and Japan to shatter U.S.-backed conservation mandates. This bold resistance ignites White House fury, spawning frantic diplomatic patches like Kennedy Center concerts with the Reykjavik Symphony to offset scrapped ambassador meets. Sovereign resolve clashes against presidential pleas, yanking Bartlet from Mars dreams into the grind of coaxing compliance from unyielding northern seas.
