It sounds like these people were/are trying to take over the ocean. It’s like a major “land grab”. Currently no one person owns the ocean but the terramar project is trying to issue “Passports” and also sell “ownership”. If an organization succeeded in convincing (or blackmailing) the governments of the world to allow this: every nation/person would be at the mercy of this org. I’d imagine they would be entitled to a “tax” for transporting goods and services (I would love to have that type of revenue) Also they would have the say on if a Navy can operate on “their” waters. I could be way off course or barely scratching the surface.
Also I doubt human trafficking would draw the same amount of revenue as being able to “tax” every nations imports/exports
