Thanks. And it's The Motherland, you know which.

I continue to build my capital to be able to leave, but both the current state and others make leaving harder for obvious reasons. I'm kinda jelly now that my mates used their chance to study in Finland, Spain etc with a chance to get locked into citizenship when they were teens and I missed that opportunity. Now I need to work hard to even stay alive and work twice as hard to move, like it's told in Alice series by Lewis Carrol. I love this book and despise it for how it's real.
