Shadow Island
Shadow Island is the only neutral territory in Asia. Controlled by a man who goes by the name Lucky Kamber, he runs the island from his gambling operation called the “House of Shadows”. Purely a money-making endeavor, Lucky takes no sides in the war. Because of Lucky’s no extradition rules, Shadow Island has become a hideout and haven for spies and various criminals on the run from the law. The Japanese Empire allows Kamber to operate unhindered because of the useful service he provides. Solo, the manager of the House of Shadows, seems to have eyes on the back of his head, his card dealer Ah Fong is a Chinese operative and Lynn, who sells lottery tickets is an Australian double agent.
“Neutral means charging everyone the same price.” – Lucky Kamber

Lone Ranger, 1938
In 1865, Captain Mark Smith of the Confederate Army leads a band of deserters to conquer Texas and rule it as a dictator. In one of his first actions, he captures and assumes the identity of Texas’ new Finance Commissioner, Colonel Marcus Jeffries, after having the real man murdered. When a contingent of Texas Rangers enters the territory, Snead, one of Smith’s men, leads them into an ambush by Smith’s “troopers”. The Rangers are apparently wiped out, although one injured survivor is left. The survivor, nursed back to health by Tonto, swears to avenge the massacre and defeat “Colonel Jeffries” and his men.
When he is not operating as the Ranger, he appears under an assumed identity as one of a group of Texans resisting Smith’s rule. Smith, through a henchman, has narrowed the field of suspects down to five specific members of the resistance. One of these five, Allen King, Bob Stuart, Bert Rogers, Dick Forrest, and Jim Clark, actually is the Ranger, but only Tonto, and the other four Texans, know which one it is. Together, they operate as an effective team attempting to end Smith’s rule. (Wikipedia)
