The even wackier cousin of the Fictional ISOT Map Game. It shares its concepts with the prior: that is, a multitude of nations from across the multiverse suddenly find themselves on a virgin Earth devoid of sentient life, forced to cooperate with one another in this new world... or conquer each other. Unlike FISOT, however, PISOT's main characterization is that anything can theoretically be featured as opposed to the Fictional ISOT Map Game's constraint of only having... well, fictional countries involved: countries from the real world, fanfiction, and players' own imaginations have featured in the two games. Its popularity has led to two unofficial spinoffs: the Lord Apocalipsis ISOT Game and AK47's ISOT Mapgame.
