Yes... it's Electric Afghanistan, its 3D section (there also might be a
text-based adaption within a MUD in the more distant future, written in
a C-like language called "LPC") could be also called "PoVghanistan" -
but we'll yet have to wait some years for its full implementation...
currently I'm fiddling around with terrain modeling, heightfield/mesh
smoothing (real smoothing, not just modifying normals or applying a blur
to the underlying bitmap - any idea how to do it?) and conversion of
geodetic into geographic coordinates... working myself into the "Black
Art" contour line interpolation software to get at least a full-fledged
heightfield/mesh of the Kabul area!
See you in Khyberspace!

For those of you who may not have encountered the real thing, these
reference images may help.

here the fish is perhaps overdone - but the chips look good

note the heaped, washed out, mushed up (rather than raw) peas.
note the golden crisp finish on the deep fry. yum.
