The Chimera Ant Queen washes up on the shore of NGL[2] and begins to devour the inhabitants there, rapidly infesting the country with her offspring.[1] Later, Meruem and his Royal Guards head to the Royal Palace of East Gorteau[3] and initiate a Selection process there, nearly killing all the citizens of the nation in an attempt to weaponize the population.[4] After the Chimera Ants are culled, NGL turns into a nature reserve that was left in charge to the Hunter Association, and the remaining citizens were divided among the other countries of the Mitene Union.[5]
