Publisher's Synopsis
In a fractured future where trust is a rare commodity and conflict looms over every resource, one tiny nation dares to forge a new path-not by building walls, but by becoming indispensable.
The Invisible Hand tells the gripping story of Luminara, a fictional microstate that rises to global influence without armies, empires, or aggression. Guided by the visionary leader Leona Veyra, Luminara embraces strategic transparency, technological neutrality, cultural diplomacy, and economic interdependence to transform vulnerability into its greatest weapon.
As rivals the United Federation (UF) and the Eastern Alliance (EA) battle for dominance over AI, resources, and space, Luminara quietly redefines power. From surviving the Kalmar Blockade and Cyber Siege to leading breakthroughs in global health, diplomacy, and digital trust, Luminara proves that influence flows not from domination-but from connection.
Follow the evolution of Luminara and its successors:
- Astraea - Mediating peace in space through orbiting diplomacy.
- Hygieia - Leading humanity's health equity movements across borders.
- Cyveris - Building a cyberworld where trust, not control, is king.
Perfect for:
- Leaders, diplomats, policymakers seeking new models of influence
- Futurists, educators, and students in international relations and global studies
- Readers who love political fables with real-world applications
- Visionaries who believe transparency and empathy can reshape the world
"Power isn't taken-it's woven, thread by thread, into the fabric others cannot afford to tear."
- Leona Veyra
