Moxian Ban.
This is a small nation with just over five hundred thousand people. Judging solely by its population and size, it is hard to even call it a country; describing it as a city would be more accurate.
Moxian Ban is located at the intersection of five countries, making it a very favorable location for trade.
Here, there is no Guardian Divine Artifact, but there are hundred-meter-high walls covered with rusty thorns; even so, monster attacks on the city remain frequent.
For the residents living here, death could descend at any moment, leaving them with no sense of security or happiness, and the birth rate is pitifully low.
Fortunately, there's no worry about high housing prices here, as prices are very low; in fact, slum dwellings require no money at all, though job opportunities are very scarce, and the price of living necessities is very high.
