You are a surgeon from the US who decides to lend his/her services to help the people of Australia, who were victims of a huge tidal wave.

You are flown to Sydney, Australia to help out the victims of the biggest tidal wave in history. The city was all but destroyed, and hospitals around the country are packed with crying, bleeding victims. Your help is greatly appreciated since you are one of the best doctors in the US, where you specialize in chest injuries. When you arrive, you are immediately put to work setting bones, sewing up torn limbs, and treating victims for shock. Among the victims you find one man who has suffered severe injuries to his lungs from submersion; his lungs are partially collapsed, and he is in severe pain. You remember a similar case back in the US where a man who went through a similar trauma fully recovered after undergoing a new procedure pioneered by an old med-school friend of yours. Knowing how important the process could be to other doctors, your friend posted the process on his web site in the US.

After finding a computer you attempt to get the information from your friend's web site, but can not access it. You then realize that he is part of the America On-Line Party and that you are part of the West Hemisphere Cyberspace Club (WHCC). Interaction between any two cyber-nations was banned 5-years ago. Knowing this, you have to search your own cyber-nation and hope one of the doctors there has either stolen the information or has their own. You try to get into the America On-Line Party to sneak out the information. Your attempts are useless. The leaders of cyber-nations have very strict laws, with the most enforced law being the one which prohibits the passing of information between cyber-nations. As a result of these cyber-nations' extreme independence, you are not able to get the necessary information to save your patient's life.
