*'''IMPORTANT NOTE FOR FOREIGN PLAYER''': It is advised to save your 'fake' citizenship ID in your note. In unwanted moments where you will verify your account for a 2nd time(Let's hope this would not happen), if you forget to copy at your note/remember your citizenship ID, you will be unable to access your ID.
*If you are in the '''Japanese''', '''Taiwan''' or '''English''' server, there's no need to worry about this citizenship verification because it only applies to Mainland China.
*'''NOT ONLY Sunborn servers(CN), BUT BILIBILI ALSO APPLY THE SAME VERIFICATION.''' However, due to unknown issues, registration on Bilibili servers will not ask for verification for now.
