The international type
The League's own model, for a state the dataset does not hold or one you invent: you name the state, and choose Spanish and French (the Annex's own words), English and French, or French alone.
Bearer makes an investigator's papers for Call of Cthulhu and any 1920s or 1930s tabletop campaign: the passport a consul would have filled in, with the visas and frontier stamps a campaign leaves in it, and the permits, certificates and tickets of the period, to print or to share.
