Customs Bureau

Description

Nimbala's Customs Bureau enforces border controls as the state's frontline agency inspecting, interdicting, and seizing black-market HIV drugs pouring from Korea, Pakistan, and beyond. Toby demands President Nimbala commit it alongside the military and Ministry of Health to dismantle illicit supply chains amid a raging epidemic—35.8% adult infection rate, 60% of hospital beds occupied by HIV patients, and projections of half of households losing a member in the coming decade. It stands as the pivotal domestic enforcement arm in a U.S. aid-for-security bargain, channeling presidential directives into seizures and public-health fortifications.
