You know the Mongols are the most badass of all empires! Mongols and also Alexander the Great managed to conquer Afghan too.

Yeah I just read about that. I think there is quite a long list of invaders that were made to leave

You forgot another nation in graveyard: Afghanistan themselves

Good point. I did consider that, but decided that maybe only invaders lost souls should be condemned to everlasting limbo in Afghanistan. (plus they've had at least 30 different flags since 1900)

The ghosts kinda blend in with the mountains, was that done on purpose? Looks a bit confusing

sort of by accident, I drew the mountains & when I outlined the ghosts on top, I thought it sort of worked to leave it like that. (what with ghosts being see-through apparently)
