The Dreams Amongst Moonlit Waves of The Endless Eventide is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Ogliarchy of the Everlasting Night with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, vat-grown people, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 1.171 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, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Administration is also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. 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 222 trillion Intangible Liquid Moonlight Vapors 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 impressive 190,310 Intangible Liquid Moonlight Vapors, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 551,160 per year while the poor average 52,075, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

The government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", saying "don't do anything that The Ogliarchy of the Everlasting Night wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and politicians live in luxury. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Endless Eventide's national animal is the Screaming Nocturnal Afterglow Cow Spider, 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 57,482^nd in the world and 2,790^th in The North Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,381.89 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
