Got a Dutch translation of the original manga, time to re-read that Masamune Shirow classic some time soon. Granted, it ain't Ghost In The Shell, but it is entertaining.

Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore. Until there's a new, proper factfile, everything you might need to know can be found here. Thank you. #RetconOfDoom (Very late update, 2020/08/30 - it's still going on ...)
