Hello, I'm sorry for late response, I've read that few days ago, but I was busy for past days.
I want to respond to AGgamer (and Bigsnake): To be honest, the Russia is probably my least favourite country (perhaps followed by China and North Korea) so I would be happy if Hyperion wasn't part of it. As I wrote my backstory few pages back (page 14), Hyperion could be from Iceland but even Greece is possible. But if you want to stick to the eastern countries I recommend Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania.
