The Nilfgard corporation (domiciled in New Hampshire) sells life insurance policies. One day, Geralt of Rivia (domiciled in Iowa) bought a life insurance policy and named Triss Merigold (domiciled in Tennessee) as beneficiary. The application stated that Triss planned to remain in Tennessee for the foreseeable future. The insurance contract had a provision prohibiting payment of benefits in cases where the insured party died while engaging in criminal activity. Five years later, Triss relocated to California to become a police officer. Five years after that, Geralt was visiting the Skellige islands and drowned. Triss sought the insurance benefits, but the Nilfgard corporation refused to pay.
