Geography
Schloss Sterne was constructed between 1744 and 1781 literally into the side of a mountain in The Alps. It was purposefully inaccessible to anyone incapable of teleportation or levitation and many construction techniques employed utilized psionics. Homes were constructed around the the castle as Celes and Ceres brought more people to Schloss Sterne over the years. When Psydrium was formally founded in 1925, a veritable city had sprouted up around the palace. Some homes are on nearby cliff ledges, others are carved into a face of the mountain range, and yet others have been constructed by drilling into rock and utilizing caverns. Some stairs and bridges have been created to assist travel within Psydrium proper, but there remains no means of transport between Psydrium and the ground for non-psions to use.
Officially in the borders of Switzerland, most citizens are given passports, visas, and the like by the Swiss government. Switzerland respects their independence (as do most international countries), right to privacy, and most importantly the wealth of their society. Psydrium is self-sustaining and as such their residents do not pay taxes to Switzerland, but they also are not provided services by Switzerland. Psydrium maintains its own school, government, and utilities that it pays for.
Tourists who are ignorant of psions are not welcome in Psydrium. They often find themselves with replaced memories in the event they trespass (intentionally or not).
Psydrium has offices across Europe, Asia, and a few in Africa that reach out to psions, offering schooling in psionic abilities and transportation to the city of Psydrium. These are viewed as embassies for those psions who chose to live in their native countries.
