Restricted Voyage Agencies

The Restricted Voyage Agency or International Permit Agency (国際渡航許可庁, kokusai tokō kyoka-chō, lit. International Voyage Permit Agency) is an organization that regulates travel to the Dark Continent in each of the Five Modern Nations. Currently, all RVAs are coordinated by the IEA Deputy Secretary.

Overview
In order to reach the Dark Continent, it is necessary to send an application to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of each of the members of the V5, from which the applicant is redirected to the corresponding Restricted Voyage Agency, a process requiring about five months. Then, the applicant must meet the Section Chief of the RVAs, for which they need introduction letters from three members of their country's congress, which still does not guarantee acceptance. In the end, despite officially serving to regulate travel to the Dark Continent, the International Permit Agencies are meant to prevent such journeys, and to keep travelers on a short leash should that be impossible.

Trivia
