Ares corporation

The Ares Corporation was a terraforming company that first colonized the ravine. They went out of business when their launch fees for the Ares Project exceeded their total net worth.
The Ares Corporation was owned by Pantheon, a joint venture of Norge and Zaibatsu under UNEGA. Pantheon also owned many islands, including Kvitøya and Jamaica. After the failure of the Ares Corporation, Pantheon was scrapped and its assets were returned to Norge and Zaibatsu, except for Kvitøya which had been left out of the original venture contract due to the oversight of Ira Yellow, the intern responsible for asset documentation.
Kvitøya thus became the single piece of land on Earth with no owner, and the ravine in which the Ares Project was based became its own country, or company, or whatever it might be. Ten years after it did so it had become a thriving, if tiny, locale. Then it was taken over by a bunch of mercenaries who ruined everything.
