Arrival in Olympus

Despite being an island nation/state, Olympus is perhaps the easiest to get to city in the world. Airfare to Olympus is relatively cheap, and customs is a breeze. For that matter, it is very easy to apply for "asylum" in Olympus, almost regardless of where in the world you come from (so long as you have some talent, skill, or money).

The two most common ways to enter Olympus are by boat (the least practical), or by plane. Sea travel provides entrance through the Suiten Arcology Block, though aside from tourism, not much naval activity occurs along the cold water current running down from the Canary Islands. Most visitors and new citizens arrive by Olympus International Airport in the northern sectors of the Bezekric Arcology Block.

"Badsiders" head-hunted by the various organizations often arrive by a different mean. Helicopters based in enclaves, bastions, and embassies "ferry" the subjects directly to the Central Olympic Arcology. The "paper-trail" is soon after erased by Olympus based networking experts in the corresponding sponsor department.

Applying for Citizenship

Becoming a legal, bone-a-fide citizen of Olympus is only a matter of few hours, if you've come from another civilized nation. The citizenship test is relatively easy, and employment is practically given to immigrants. For Badsiders, things are a bit more complicated. Employment is hard to come by, and unless you can prove your competence in a field they administration is recruiting for, you'll either be deported or stuck in manual labor. Further, nearly all of the immigrants possessions will be "quarantined". Likewise, the badsider himself may be stuck in the Containment Bureau for weeks, even months. Of course, there's always an exception to the rule. Those special fortunate badsiders that are headhunted are given the red carpet treatment. Any arms they possess will likely be confiscated, but otherwise, they'll be citizens in an hour or two. Still, they'll be faced with a dilemma deliberately made by their Sponsors. With no immediate way to leave, they'll have to choose between working for their sponsor's organization or manual labor. It's almost slavery. Good thing the pay is usually nice.
