Eternia is a small region. It is inhabited by only a few dozen million people, in only a few nations.

An interesting thing to note is that Eternians have an irrational and overriding fear of the ocean. It is because of this that only the continent that these countries are located on have been mapped. It is fully possible that other nations exist that have not been encountered yet. The only exception to this is the people of Liilte Hong Kong, an island only 1,000 feet off of the mainland, which can be walked to since the water between them is no more than 3 feet deep. The people of Liilte Hong Kong are among the few people in Eternia who eat any form of seafood.

History

Until recently, all people in Eternia were considered to be under the rule of what is now know as the Confederacy of Liberal Men and Women. However, people grew dissatisfied with the ways of the very non-obtrusive government. As such, new governments formed, starting with the People's Republic of Liilte China, which was "formed on a dare while drunk," and has since been renamed to the oppressed People of Liilte China, and most recently the Principality of the Daes Dae-Mar.

Each of the independent nations in Eternia claims the right to rule the entirety, each in it's own unique style. Thankfully, no wars have yet been fought over this, though most say that it is only a matter of time.

Recent Events

As of 4/6/07, Eternia entered an economic recession, when Neo-Rus's economy imploded. As a result of that implosion, both the Confederacy of Liberal Men and Women's and the Principality of the Daes Dae-Mar's economies have shown a definite drop in activity, and currency value due to the lost markets.

Due to this recession, the regional total GDP has dropped from it's original value of $291 billion to it's current value of 156,603,915,547.35 in just one Eternian year. That is an almost 47% decrease; but, Neo-Rus seems to be on the mends, though it is still very much in danger of complete economic collapse.
