This is why we sell to all armed forces. Neutral business is good business.”[^2] - Nordvik “Our autonomous munitions production factory is the finest in the world. Book your tour in Sweden today.”[^2] - Nordvik “Nordvik feigns being the middle man, but no one’s truly neutral in wartime. American investment has been influencing their weapon development for years now.”[^3] - Wolff <br> ### Description Nordvik was formed in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2028 by Måns Nordqvist, Erik Nilsson, and [[Codex/Profiles/Oscar Bergman|Oscar Bergman]]. Initially an agricultural equipment manufacturer focused on heavy-duty machinery for corporate farming, Nordvik’s ambitions far exceeded the agroindustry. For their founders, their company represented the litmus test for the future of automation. Nordqvist, Nilsson and Bergman were from the technology sector, where each pioneered automation, robotics, and large-scale 3D printing. Every one of their factories is fully automated without any permanent personnel. As such, most of their factories were constructed in remote, isolated locations. As the EU collapsed, Nordvik shifted their business to support the military industrial complex. With their factories already designed for oversized manufacturing, the pivot to military vehicles, tanks, and drones was an easy one. While a portion of Nordvik’s business empire still supports agricultural and technical industries, 80% of operations was dedicated to military production by 2034. Publicly, Nordvik maintains a façade of neutrality. They represent themselves as a “peaceful corporation” that helps all in need. Privately, Nordvik and the United States reached an agreement to ensure allied nations received the vast majority of all contracts. [^1]: Nordvik's slogan and also one of its loading screen quotes.
