A long while ago I heard of an Asian country, I think it was Japan, that could make you disappear. Is this actually possible? They don't murder they just remake your life an image online. How?

  Maybe you’re thinking about the Man from Taured?

  In 1954, a Caucasian man was arrested at the airport upon entering Japan because they couldn’t classify his passport and didn’t know the issuing country.

  When he is shown a map so he can tell where he is from, he points to Andorra and calls it “Taured”. He cannot understand why no one knows about this country that, according to him, has existed for 1,000 years.

  He is taken to a hotel and two police officers guard his room while the case is further investigated. When you go to visit him again, the room is empty and there is no trace of the man from Taured. Did he come from a parallel universe?

  Yes I read about this as well. https://japandaily.jp/the-johatsu-japans-evaporated-people-who-vanish-without-a-trace/
  Perhaps that’s what you’re thinking of? I don’t know about the accuracy of it.

    NK would make sense but the way the post is worded I assume it means a more normal country like china, japan, etc.
