Then I asked myself if that's what I was doing.
After all, I need to think of more countries and more options.

I dunno, I just really like the idea of Afghanistan.
It adjusts Don a bit to the modern age while still letting him do crazy shit without being thrown in an asylum.
Plus, Pashtunwali? That's Don's shit right there.
Go ahead, then.
"By the heavens! What amazing horses you have now."

I'll also give him the gift of speaking English, Dari and Pashto so he can communicate.
Unless you think it'd be funny not to.

It wouldn't make much sense not to.

Elfen High is the tale of a magical school run by the Devil, who was raised by God the janitor (with some help from Loki) and is best friends with an alcoholic Russo-Japanese half-ogre and a delusional Appalachian Atticus Finch, which battles against the Great Old Ones (lead by a Shakespeare villain in tights) and dragons (who also happen to be the creators of the universe). The student body includes a female Hitler made of clay, her boyfriend an English knight (who is only slightly perturbed by the whole Nazi thing), a young girl who has spent some time as both a robot and an angel (but mostly as the universe's chew toy), the Sphinx of Thebes, and a sex-addicted vampire-hunting Batman rip-off. The staff, meanwhile, is composed of the actual Nylaratheop (now deceased), a half-raccoon whore, and the former headmaster who faked his death because he was bored one day. Regular contacts include an impotent and aging Thor, a well-read bartender Dionysus, the reincarnated Third Doctor, and Freddie Mercury. The most powerful weapon in all of existence is an angry David Bowie. By the end of the day, Don Quixote will have joined the cast, because Khaan saw his name on his bookshelf. And, of course, all of this is part of the grand plan of the fascist angel Uriel (who happens to be physically identical to televisual actor Giancarlo Esposito) to... do something.
And the President of the United States of America is Clint Eastwood, amongst other things.
Does anyone else think this is really fucking weird?
