Chill Philosophy
We aim for low drama and minding our own business, while still being a player on the international stage. We don't seek war but rather harmony.
Environmentalism
We carefully consider terrain in all construction, avoiding unnecessary destruction of natural features. Our builds integrate with the environment.
