Arstotzka



"With the Philippine province of Cagayan invaded by the Unified Soviet Red Assault Command, Russia, China, North Korea, Fauwan, the Southern Song Dynasty and the rest of the Beleninsk Pact, this gives birth to Arstotzka, a place where you can try to enter there with your passport. Don't lie, forge or cheat... or you'd be detained. They're focused on immigration."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Lily Cruz of Arstotzka
