There was a curious video game I played for a week straight in the early 90’s before my copy got stolen at a party.
It was called Scrongjhul and featured a fish with legs who had extra big knees with spikes. It was sort of a platform game but then part mystery story and part choose-your-own-adventure.
I think you had to get to the top of a mountain for something special. If you did it enough times and collected codes the game would generate then you could send off for some special prize.

The issue is the fragility of religious nation-states vs their ancient artefacts. If (say) the UK is happy to protect ancient artefacts against insane religious zealots of X country against destruction of XYZ, the I’m 100% behind the UK.
