Barren - 1.50

Barren regions are noted for their absolute lack of vegetation. As a rule, however, this means that they are poorly suited to construction because of the condition of the soil. While such places are not as difficult to work in as deserts, they are exposed to strong winds and make life difficult for those forced to live and work there.

Examples of barren lands on Earth include the prairies of the United States and the steppes region of the Soviet Union.
