Illusion is their means, and façade is their power.  This is a story of how a small, impoverished country was transformed almost overnight into a rich, powerful welfare state controlled by a few shrewd families. We see what happened to the people who found themselves wealthy all of a sudden. We also see how foreigners flocked from all corners of the world to work hard there, or to exploit others.How a system was created to serve the few at the expense of the many. How a society was brainwashed into accepting a thinly veiled caste system and a Big Brother system. How the small country amassed power and influence over superpowers. How they used their money and realpolitik to interfere in other countries. How the façade became the strength and lies supersede truth.
