Is "Papers, Please" inspired by real events or just the liberal perception of communist states? (lemmygrad.ml)

I find it hard to believe that your family could starve to death just from some mistakes but I might be in the "too positively biased against AES" stage of my radicalization journey

No, I don’t think Arstotzka is modeled after any particular country.

Are you sure? On the 29th/30th day, the border wall gets destroyed; which really gives me serious "Fall of the Berlin Wall" vibes.

Also, Arstotzka has "East Grestin" as one of its region names, and another country (Kolechia?) has "West Grestin" as one of its region names. Would be really surprising if neither of these were based off the GDR and West Germany respectively; despite having these details.
