Politics and government
Founding and early history
Dreamland was founded in 3373 by settlers from the islands of Laba who spoke various Lenian languages and had been completely isolated from the wars and politics of the mainland for thousands of years.[1] Dreamland was an explicitly political nation: rather than being founded on the basis of membership in a particular tribe or belief in a particular religion, people living in Dreamland were made to agree to certain political beliefs.[2]
The various tribes of typically blonde, blue-eyed Lenians merged to form a new nationality, Gãm, and invited people of all races and religions would live in harmony and cease all internal conflicts and wars. The Gãm leaders announced a new constitution prohibiting the use of the army except for defensive wars. The new society was named Dreamland and consisted of preexisting settlements along the north shore of the peninsula around Baeba Swamp.
After a few months in Dreamland, the Gãm leaders launched an all-out war against the Crystal tribes, whom they said were frustrating the Gãms' attempt to build a society of racial harmony. They declared that in order to achieve perfect racial unity in Dreamland, nobody of the dark-skinned Crystal race would be allowed to enter, and conversion would be forbidden. Since the Crystals' capital city, Baeba, lay only a few hundred miles away from Dreamland, the Dreamer military generals declared that Dreamland's proactive invasion was in fact a defensive war, and said that if the Dreamers did not invade and conquer Baeba Swamp, the Crystals might one day in the future be able to mount a counterattack against Dreamland.
