Tonopah (Toe-nu-paw)
Just wait 'till you get your Tono-paws on this"
Measuring purely by the value of the goods that comes out of Tonopah, it would be the wealthiest city in the whole wide world. Unfortionately, due to the fact that the residents of Tonopah make 90% of all illegal substances on the continant, their cashflow can be unstable even at the best of times.
Government
Despite falling within the bounds of the Crescent, Tonopah has managed to fall between the cracks of the Pradishah's gaze. Due to the extremely small size, there lacks a real need for official government. Occasionally merchants will come into town and exchange food and other necessities for the finest of Morellium and other narcotics.
Defences
The main defense is the geography. Being nestled in the shadow of a massive plateau hides them from most people who don't know exactly where to look. The remoteness makes it hard for any serious offensive to be launched on the people of Tonopah
Industry & Trade
Despite the fact that almost all of the illicit goods come from Tonopah, and illicit goods are expensive, the residents don't have a lot of money. Due to their remoteness they are reliant on trade for food and clothing and other amenities leaving them at a serious loss of negotiating power.
Architecture
Due to the focus on manufacturing, there is little time for architecture. Most people live in simple wooden houses, and work in simple wooden box-like buildings.
Geography
Right beside the Goliath Plateau. Both humid and arid due to the storms of the residents atop the plateau.
Climate
Tonopah is (like everything else) in the middle of a desert. However it borders the Goliath Plateau in the shade and moisture from the plateau, a rare form of fungus can be farmed which possesses potent hallucinogenic and stimulant properties.
Natural Resources
