“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”

The Nomadic Peoples of -Eidolon- is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 12.441 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 64%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

People regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, smoking is banned in public areas, Max Barry is this year's Miss -Eidolon-, and guns are banned. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Eidolon-'s national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ignis.

-Eidolon- is ranked 25th in the region and 26,841st in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
