Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"A Game in Which Ivan and Arthur Send Everyone to Siberia" when directly translated, actually. It is a fanmade Hetalia: Axis Powers RPG game/animation which focuses on Ivan Braginski and Arthur Kirkland ("The Devil Lord" and "The Gentleman" respectively, as they are called affectionately by Japanese-speaking fans) and their quest to, well, send everybody to Siberia.Sometime in the future of our world, large areas of Earth has been heavily affected by pollution and many countries are riddled with food shortage, as little to no crops can be grown. The game starts with Ivan and Arthur discussing their options, and the players/viewers learn that they had proposed a plan to save the world to the other nations - a plan that involves transporting the remaining population to the wide, desolate expanse of Siberia, as even simply living on a land damages it. Naturally, many of the nations oppose to this plan, reluctant to leave their homeland and become submissive to Ivan. However, time is running out, and the two decide to go "convince" the opposing countries, even if it means using brute force.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })To make a long story short, the story and the characters stances in it make it virtually impossible for the player to decide who is wrong and who is right. While they understand that in the game's universe the countries must make the harder decision in order to prevent the relentless spoiling of the world, that also means they must give up their pride, land, and eventually their nationality itself. Which choice would be the best for their countrymen is also a prevalent question for the whole series. The fact that the game makes characters fight amongst themselves doesn't help with the heart-wrenching, either.This game is completed, but its much longer sequel set 100 years after this game, "Escape From Siberia" ("A Game In Which The Pasta Brothers And Everyone Escapes From Siberia"...phew) is still on-going on Nico Nico Douga. In it, we learn more about Ivan, Arthur, and Matthew's true motives for suggesting the relocation plan in the first place, as well as the situation of the other characters. Judging from the title, we all know how this first game turned out.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Just a warning: This game and its sequel contains, unlike most Hetalia Role Playing Games, a rather accurate portrayal of the society of a country and the people in it, especially under strong dictatorship in the second game. That is never a good sign if you're searching for a warm, fluffy story or even a simple adventure one, although it does make you think quite a bit. Coupled with adored character vs equally adored character gameplay, and the questioning of ethics under a multitude of circumstances, the "Siberia" series takes its sadistic time in exploring the many different aspects of each character, and it better have a true happy ending once completed. This is not a horror game, but the sequel has scenes of blood, off-screen torture, Mind Rape, murder (in one case, mass) of civilians, and brainwashing.Original videos can be found here. Subbers and a possibly better translation of the game title are needed!

Curb-Stomp Battle: After a few battle sequences (both against characters and monsters) it starts to seem this way. Come on, it's IVAN and ARTHUR (and later GILBERT) versus X. Although since the characters get harder to beat as the game advances, it's still possible that you could lose with the wrong move. Played straight against the extra battle versus Ivan's avatar. OH MY GOD IVAN'S AVATAR.

Violence is the Only Option
 Send to Siberia! (Video Game) / int_7a7ec1e8
comment
Violence Is the Only Option: Most characters (excluding Feliciano and Kiku (for different reasons)) are rather trigger happy, if only for the purpose of there being a fight sequence. Nevertheless, Ivan and Arthur make it a point to propose the plan to each individual, leave them be once they agree, and attack if they don't. Ivan even admits that they were planning to beat them all into submission in the first place anyway.

Matthew gets this for the most part, for until the last fight with Alfred he stays in the headquarters to monitor the situation. To make up for it, he has a veeeery small off-screen Prodigal Hero part, which is nonetheless important. He attacks Washington D.C to draw Alfred away from Siberia, and split the allied troops of his and Yao's up.

comment
Above Good and Evil: Played with. While Feliciano refuses to comply with Ivan and Arthur's plan, it's not because he truly believes that they are wrong and his belief is right - he just wasn't listening at the initial meeting in which the nations opposed to the plan. Therefore, he decides to go with what Ludwig wants to do, and innocently asks (then doubts) if Ludwig had agreed. Ludwig had already been "disposed" of because he had disagreed. Cue the TearJerker. Also with Kiku. Although he had hardly any screen time, he expressed neutrality to the end, due to the split opinions of his people, and chose not to come to Alfred and Yao's aid when they invaded Siberia. At the end, though, Ivan forces him to agree with the relocation plan. These actions ensured him a place as Ivan's right-hand man and special privileges to his people in the sequel, but also the resentment of other less favoured people of the defeated countries.

Functional Magic: Lovino's force field and Arthur's general abracadabra. The Magic is not given a specific term, but from the way Arthur explains that a medium outside of the force field itself is needed to keep it up for a long period, the Magic they're talking about is the same kind that exists in the universe. (The medium also comes up as a vital key to the sequel).
