Generated from: A seamless deep-ocean background for a strategic world map, equirectangular (Plate Carrée) projection, wide 16:9 landscape. Pure ocean only — NO landmasses, NO continents, NO islands, NO coastlines, NO text, NO labels, NO compass, NO grid numbers. Deep desaturated navy blue (#0B1421) in a broad band across the middle (the equator), gradually lightening toward the top and bottom edges into pale steel blue and finally near-white pack ice and frozen drift along the extreme top and bottom. Faint horizontal latitude lines every 20 degrees rendered as very subtle lighter strokes, plus faint vertical longitude lines, both at low opacity like an old nautical chart. Soft mottled water depth variation. A few thin pale ice floes drifting in the far northern and southern waters. Flat vector-ish cartography style, matte, no lighting direction, no vignette, no grain, no watermark. Muted cold palette only.
