Would you like to be vaguely famous, in a not-very-famous sort of way? Well Eidos and Elixir Studios are offering you the chance to take up permanent residency in Novistrana, the setting for forthcoming strategy-simulation title Republic: The Revolution.

All you need to do is register on the official Novistrana website, and twenty winners will have their name assigned to a character and given a home address, enabling them to locate themselves within the game. A further 100 runners-up will also have their names assigned to characters. The closing date for entries is April 15th, and winners will be notified by April 30th.

Once installed in Novistrana, real-life entrants will be killed to avoid paradoxes.

Republic: The Revolution is still kind of on track for getting released this summer, apparently. Shyeah.
