contents We show that countable set theory, $ZFC^{-}+\forall x\ |x|\leqω$, is unable to eliminate imaginaries. In other words, this theory cannot provide representatives for arbitrary definable equivalence relations. We also see that $ZFC^{-}$ and ZFC^{-}+\existsκ(Inacc(κ)\wedge\forall x\ |x|\leqκ)$ also fail to eliminate imaginaries.
