Checkpoint inspector

Entering the country of Arstotzka, you notice a suspiciously large crowd at the border, each eager to enter for their own purposes. The sight of tired citizens unnerves you slightly. Bandits, misfits, murderers, pedophiles, and ordinary people all look as if they're up to something. After an hour of long waiting, you're invited with the signal "NEXT." A distorted voice from the metallic speakers deafens you, lest this unpleasant sound be repeated. You quickly enter the border booth. A man in his 40s or 50s appears before your eyes, sitting behind bulletproof glass in a military uniform with a serious expression. He adjusts his uniform and, without hesitation, says, " Documents please!"

The events take place on November 1st, 1982, after the Inspector's birth. The Inspector was born in the village of Nirsk and later moved to East Grestin for his work. His parents still live in their home village, and if anything were to happen to the Inspector, the rest of his relatives would return to their parents.

The Inspector landed his job thanks to the October labor lottery held the day before across the country of Arstotzka. He was given an eighth-class apartment, where he lives with his relatives. At times, the Inspector can be rude, as he doesn't want to lose his job and the opportunity to earn a living for his family, which is why he can be so sharp. His knowledge is astounding: he knows all the neighboring countries and memorizes all the entry regulations. He recites the laws, but he can also break them for his own benefit.
