In one remote corner of the vast sea of information on the Internet, there was a remote corner, and in a remote corner of that remote corner, and then in a remote corner of a remote corner of a remote corner of that remote corner - that is, in the very depths of the most remote corner of all - a virtual world came back to life. — Liu Cixin

Has it ever occurred to you- have you never, somewhere along the line, received vibrations to the effect- that this territory was a separate nation?
