After many years of being confined only to military use. EPS housing is now commerically recoginized for the rapidly expanding nation. Housing has become a dire need and this cheap and strong alternative to wood construction has taken root.

Using expanded polystyrene foam and a cementitious coating, similar to styrofoam that is as hard as cerment, is quickly poured and sets into a strong structure. For just $7.30 a square ft or less a house can be built to the specifications desired by the owner. In Eralineta, this cheap and strong housing is taken root as large complexes of buildings are being built very rapidly and are using a steel skeleton for larger buildings to house many families. One such city is already being built of 90% of EPS housing, Huni City in the east of Eralineta is already famed for its ability to quickly build houses for families. Single family homes are able to be built in a single day with this process.

Though cold and ugly at first appearence they are strong and sturdy offering great fire support and strength. These houses are quickly redone with wallpaper, carpeting and tile. The ability to quickly build the houses is already being famed by the military as one of the chief ways to build walls and other structures in emergencies. ARM is the one business that is taking this very seriously as they have begun building fake bunkers and real bunkers out of EPS. They are amazingly cheap and the perfect distraction for enemy missiles and attention. Combined with their fake military ARM has produced one of the largest fake armies in the world. With 70 to 1 fake units spanning their production line, they are now building stronger and permanent buildings that can be used as real bases or bunkers in a time of crisis as well.

Eralineta's rapid growth spurred the call of EPS housing, and now it is here to stay in the nation.
