In 1954 at the Haneda international airport in Tokyo, Japan, one of the customs inspectors, questioned a man in a business suit. He examined the man's passport, which was already stamped with several visits to Tokyo. But his nationality was a problem, because the passport was issued, by the country of Taured. The inspector thought it may be a joke, because there is no such nation. Not on this Earth. The businessman was not laughing. He got angry, and his face turned red. He said, "You don't know Taured?" The inspector was young, and briefly considered that he may be wrong. He knew he had to pass this problem up the chain of command. But he did not expect the businessman's reaction, when told he would have to wait for a supervisor. The man clutched his chest, and collapsed on the freshly waxed floor of the customs station. This was the 1950's. But treatment could not be delayed. The man from Taured was carried immediately to the Haneda Ai
