Clank

Location of Clank in the Southwestern Major Region.

Clank is a remote, unincorporated desert town in the Southwestern Major Region situated directly east of The Hot Pot.

Features

Marketplace and Trade. Clank is a deceptively-not very affluent area for their lack of authority, but it is a hot spot for illegal items, mainly custom explosives and illicit drugs. They receive a great deal of traffic for these commodities from pirates, shoppers headed to or from Xantoh's Watch, and sometimes even (allegedly) world government members and/or politicians.

Population Size. Small: Clank’s population is roughly 5,000. It grew rapidly from roughly 45 since the advent of The Hot Pot, a re-opening of an ancient coliseum located nearby.

Population Density. Sparse: Clank is entirely in the desert and enjoys their broad land use.

Demonym. ‘Clanks’ / ‘Clankers’

Population Demographics. This area is the frequent destination of all of the much-stranger creatures of the world as well those who have been excommunicated, shunned, or outcast.

Government. Clank has no formal government. Certain villages may have some sort of ‘sheriff’ figure or rudimentary constabulary. The country’s bombs were once the subject of a massive scandal in Lyre over whether or not that country purchased and used illegal magic bombs from Clank during a war with the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Glaggleland.

Culture. Crotchety old locals and high heat make for a grumpy locale in Clank. There are mixed opinions of the coliseum to the south. Because explosives are so commonly-accepted in their society, the fireworks and related shows produced by Clank are surprisingly among the finest in the world.
