As a former resident of the state of Washington, but of the part
which - despite the state's license plates - is rarely green, I
fully understand.

Passports are NOT something newly created in the 20th century.

In my original post I admit I misspoke: I meant not that

passports in Europe came into being after WW1. And prior to WW1
"passport" meant a document a bit different from what it does
today.
