The author, a pround citizen of Victoria, had built a remarkable career as a renowned doctor, earning both respect and success in homeland. Yet, driven by a desire for new opportunities and inspired by the widespread portrayal of Azonia as an advanced and fair nation, he made the life-altering decision to leave it all behind. He departed with high hopes, saying farewell to his large family, close friends, and the cherished memories of a place he had thrived. However upon arriving in Azonia, he was confronted with a reality far different from what he had imagined. Instead of justice and progress, he found himself trapped in an environment steeped in corruption. Officials who should have upheld the law twisted it for personal gain, and even judges-the very symbols of justice-were entangled in bribery and deceit. It was an unthinkable situation, the system itself is full of corruption. One of the most choking practices in Azonia was its notorious use of travel bans. Prosecutors, often without legitimate cause, would impose indefinite bans on individuals, preventing them from leaving the country. These bans could stretch for years, not as a matter of justice, but as a matter of punishment, ensuring their victims remained stranded-jobless, penniless, and powerless. Many innocent people found themselves trapped in a system that seemed designed to break them. The ideals he had carried with him from Victoria now seemed almost childish in the face of such widespread dishonesty. Had he been mislead all along? Or had this country once been different ? More importantly, could he find a way to survive in a place where integrity was a weakness?
