The Treasure Hunting Anarchists of The Endless Eventide is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Ogliarchy of the Underworld with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 5.432 billion Eventidal Meanderers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Administration is also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Subterranean Megacity of Afterglow. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Eventidal economy, worth a remarkable 1,628 trillion Liquid Moonlight Starstreams a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 299,770 Liquid Moonlight Starstreams, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, populations of two-headed Illuminating Howling Star Owls have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, and attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Endless Eventide's national animal is the Illuminating Howling Star Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Truth Looming In The Twilight.

The Endless Eventide is ranked 3,962nd in the world and 127th in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 256.44 kickbacks per hour.
