The '''Fondent region''' is a small coastal country in the [[world]], dominated by mega-corporations, called Pillars. Of these, the most prominent and powerful is the news and entertainment media monopoly Omnichannel. It is the location of two proposed plots:


* [[The Spyder in the Cathedral]], where five Pillars are scheming together to take full control of the region.

[[File:Map - Reminagined.png|thumbnail]]
The standard map is spread out, rather than interconnected. An alternative might be to make the map more compact and a little more interconnected.

Each Pillar sells a [[:Category:Badge]] which, when given to a monster, causes it to morph. The effect ends when the monster is treated at a Centre.
 
* Budaye morphs into Bamboon (Greenwash badge) or Frondly (Scoop badge).
* Grintot morphs into Grintrock (Omnichannel badge) or Grinflare (Shaft badge).

== Healing ==
[[Shaft HQ]] is in [[Leather Town]].


Healing in the Fondent region comes at a cost - initially we were thinking the player would have to sit through an in-game advertisement (for Greenwash Graze-X or Miaownolith Milk or something, not a real product). But another option would be to actually charge the player each time.
[[Shaft Boss]]


The fee might be $1 per HP - or double that if there's a "call out fee" - i.e. if the player blacked out.  
=== Nimrod Armaments ===
[[File:Nimrod_badge.png|thumbnail]]


Players could also buy private health insurance which might save them money - but it would come with a hefty cost both in terms of the fee and the excess. It would also have a long list of terms and conditions which the player could read - but which would take a while, and they'd keep getting prompted to quit reading.  
[[Nimrod HQ]] is in [[Flower City]].  


=== Centre dialogue ===
[[Nimrod Boss]]


Would you like to heal your monsters?
=== Scoop ===
[[File:Scoop.png|thumbnail]]


All done. That will be $x dollars. [Or: Plus a $x call-out fee since we had to send the ambulance to collect you.]
[[Scoop HQ]] is in [[Timber Town]].


Oh, you can't afford to pay? No problem. We'll add it to your bill, plus 10% interest. [Interest charged on all money owing not just new debt.]
[[Scoop Boss]]


When you win money, we'll take a share [50%] until you've paid us back. Easy peasy!
Scoop Stores are found in most towns and cities.  


=== AMBEARANCE COVER - PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE OFFERING ===
=== Greenwash ===
[[File:Bug_gym_badge.png|thumbnail]]


After every few lines, the dialogue prompts: "There's X more pages. Keep reading? Y/N"
[[Greenwash HQ]] is in [[Candy Town]].  


Private health insurance offering for one (1) person (hereafter, the "licence holder"), applying to up to fifty (50) monsters captured, traded, bought, won or otherwise possessed by the licence holder. This offering is only valid between 1 January and 31 March of this year. Ambearance Cover Ltd can withdraw the offering at any time.
[[Greenwash Boss]]


Ambearance Cover is available for all persons between 15 and 65 years of age. It pays medical costs for a licence holder's monsters at all approved hospitals, approved allied health facilities and approved vetinerarians and specialists (whether administered in their office or on-site).  
In [[The Spyder in the Cathedral]], Greenwash invented the [[Fusion Report]] which allows [[Fusions]].


For the avoidance of doubt, Ambearance Cover does not apply to:
== Organisations at the time of Qiangong2's plot ==


* Treatment of a licence holder's own injuries, sickness, disease, disability, etc. or any other medical or health procedure relating to any human.
=== Spyder ===
* Any prescription or non-prescription medicines, pharmaceuticals, prosthetics, crutches, wheelchairs, therapeutic devices, or other items, whether deemed necessary or unnecessary for the treatment of a medical condition otherwise eligible under this policy.
* Cosmetic or other procedures.
* Providing any items or support for a monster to morph.
* Renaming, retraining or otherwise modifying a monster in any way.
* Breeding, fertilisation, "day care", fertility treatment or other reproductive services.
* Incubation, delivery or other birthing services.


Licence holders may not capture, trade, buy, win or otherwise possess other humans for the purpose of them qualifying as "monsters" Humanoid "monsters" are eligible for healing only at Ambearance Cover's discretion.  
Spyder creates poisons and inhibiting drugs (officially Medicine). Original purpose was to develop Tuxemon poisons.  


Ambearance Cover is a progressive scheme that is charged in proportion to a licence holder's ability to pay. Ambearance Cover Ltd will receive the first 5% of all the licence holder's earnings from any source ("licence fee"). Ambearance Cover Ltd reserves the right to unilaterally modify this rate without notice if its deems that the policy has been "abused".
=== Omnichannel ===


"Abuse" of the policy includes but is not limited to:
Omnichannel is the ruling power in the region. Local Government has some power, but most everything is controlled by Omnichannel. Structure is set up like North Korea a bit. Kane has absolute power, though there are his "advisors", the "board of directors". Enforcers are the Omnichannel's version of Team Xero grunts. Some Tuxemon research is done at Omnichannel, but most is outsourced.


* Trading or otherwise receiving monsters for the exclusive, part or potential purpose of bringing them under the insurance policy of a licence holder.
=== Team Xero/Xero Institute for Tuxemon Research ===
* Waiting until multiple monsters need treatment before seeking healing in order to only pay the excess once.


A licence holder that fails to report, fails to accurately report, fails to pay or otherwise withholds any part of Ambearance Cover's licence fee will be liable for three times the amount withheld, plus 10% per month compounding weekly.  
The Xero Institute was created by [[Martin Xero]] (a former member of the Omnichannel "board of directors") right before Kane came to power. When consolidating power, Kane left the Xero Institute intact as they helped with researching Tuxemon weaknesses. Due to this, the Xero Institute retained a bit of autonomy from Omnichannel.  


Excess is $100 in all cases. The excess can be modified at any time without consultation or the licence holder being informed ante facto or post facto.
Martin Xero was purged when it was found out he was saving Tuxemon instead of helping to kill them off. Misa created Team Xero from some of her friends within the Xero Institute right after her Father was purged by Kane. Slowly it grew until Team Xero encompassed all of the Xero Institute. The Xero Institute is the only branch of Omnichannel allowed to breed new Tuxemon without getting approved by the "board of directors" (which never happens).
