In each edition of the MSP Challenge, countries are coded by colours. This is to help users to abstract themselves from the countries roles and assume a more playful mode. The idea is to make plans for a managerial area without thinking too much about the political consequences (although they might be important). Thus, the countries profiles are explained to the users for context and objectives specification only.

Click on the tab corresponding to the edition you are interested in and check the profile of the red country in that edition.

Country Red has a large marine presence in the North Sea (compared to neighbouring countries) and has had a strong presence there with fishing activities but also since the 1960s when oil and gas deposits were found. Commercial fishing still has a large presence there today, and has gotten renewed interest (and sparked new conflicts) because of this country's departure from the EU, as new quotas and fishing grounds have to be renegotiated.

The country Red government has a Blue Growth perspective, which means that exploitation of marine resources is prioritized, with commercial fishing and material extraction as continuously important activities. At the same time, there is also talk about more protection and establishing MPAs, especially around the country's Dogger Bank part.

Country Red's domestic case concerns planning for a scenario where commercial fishing grounds are kept and even expanded. At the same time, there is competition with existing sectors (like protection and the energy sector, oil and gas). Collaboration with neighbouring countries has become a problem after the country's departure from the EU and you do no longer want to allow foreign fishers in your waters. The country is generally hesitant to all border collaboration. The country wants to propose a new plan for the country's North sea area, with special attention given to the following three sectors:

1. Commercial fishing (keep and possibly expand areas for all fishing fleets)
2. Environment (conservation and more MPAs)
3. Fossil based energy (keep oil and gas)

The country needs to be mindful of international traffic at sea, both shipping lanes and passenger traffic (i.e. should not/cannot be changed). In addition, any national defence needs must be left unchanged. Finally, attention needs to be paid to environmental conditions and ecological qualities in the area, e.g. wind speed, currents, various species, pressures, biodiversity, etc. that may affect marine activities.
