New Kirk City in Mothra

Rolisica (ロリシカ,   Rorishika) is a fictional country located somewhere between Eastern Asia and Europe. It appears in the 1961 Toho film Mothra, where the titular monster attacks its capital, New Kirk City (ニューカーク・シティ,   Nyūkāku Shiti).

New Kirk City was attacked by Mothra while she was searching for her missing Shobijin, accidentally causing hurricane force winds with the flap of her wings. This caused much destruction to the streets and the surrounding shops as well as the rooftops. The Shobijin were being held captive by Clark Nelson, a greedy business man trying to use the fairies beautiful singing for profit. The Rolisican police were able to find Nelson and kill him. Shinichi Chujo and his friends then painted Mothra’s religious symbol on an airport runway to get her attention. Mothra soon came, and Chujo's friends returned the Shobijin to her. Mothra then immediately went to her home Infant Island to be with her people once again.

Trivia

  • Rolisica serves as an inoffensive stand-in for both the United States and the Soviet Union, with its name being a portmanteau of Russia (ロシア,   Roshia) and America (アメリカ,   Amerika). Japan-Rolisica tensions in The Luminous Fairies and Mothra, the novel Mothra was based on, reference public discontent over the 1960 Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security, which strengthened Japan-United States military relations.[1] These tensions are less central in the film, but still present.
  • Early script drafts for Mothra vs. Godzilla had a version of the Frontier Missile sequence where Rolisican forces fought Godzilla instead of the United States Navy.[2]
