A winged female figure labeled “Peace” sits on one side of a mountain pass, and Mars, the Roman god of war, sits on the opposite side. A man wearing a crown and robe labeled “Czar” is walking down the path, carrying a large candle snuffer labeled “Peace Congress” that he hopes to use to extinguish a volcano labeled “War” that is erupting in the distance. He must pass through areas that are heavily armed with munitions and bearing the countenances of several foreign rulers.
