Panama

"Panama is famous for an isthmus that has recently been turned into a canal. With the Panama Canal Zone under attack by the Federation of the Americas, I must defend this canal before they can reserve this one for the Coalition of the Red Star ships. Things may get worse and worse, day by day."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Heroes of the Isthmus
