To mark the launch of Metaphor: ReFantazio, Sega is going to make someone a real-life noble, but there's a catch—you'll be joining the nobility of an illegitimate nation in the North Sea with only one resident

Several characters from Metaphor: ReFantazio in profile, one of which appears to be a humanoid sugar glider.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is an excellent Persona-like from Atlus about uniting a nation by participating in a competition to be the next bum on its throne. The JRPG is full of meditations on racism, inequality and how it's cool to be friends with a talking bat—we like it quite a lot. Indeed, we gave it a whopping 95% in our Metaphor: ReFantazio review. 

But here's the thing: the road to winning the throne is a long one. 100 hours long, in fact. And you'll need to fight countless monsters, delve into numerous dank dungeons, and give lots and lots of speeches before you can call it a day. Wouldn't it be much simpler if you could just post a comment on social media explaining why you deserve to win the competition? Well, you're in luck, because Sega is going to make one person a noble, right here in the real world, just for doing exactly that.
