Few people from the outside have had access to the capital city of this odd fortress state, and all visitors have gotten only to enter Bimblikand. From the sky, they describe smaller towns and the countryside as mostly agrarian land with large square patches of forest, and a worrisome amount of dry land. With a bit of hypocrisy and post-modern condescension, they liken the failed socialist experiment to the goblin clans of Gobelia and how quaint their delegations, in full traditional garb, steal the show at the official meetings of the union. It's true that everything about Coffesia seems somewhat out of time, like something placed in the glass boxes of a countrysize museum. And nothing, in terms of both desuetude and technocratic prowess, compares to Bimblikand.
Not much, by the looks of it, remains of the ancient city founded by Psarian renegades; a combination of wars and a strong will to erase the old world, replace it with what at the time was the future, slowly ground down the pompous and baroque caprices of the merchant princes, as the city covered itself with steel reservoirs, blocks of concrete and copper conductor electric railways. Sprawling over square kilometer after square kilometer of endless mechanical plazas, the city is home to supposedly twenty million people. They say it reflects Coffesian culture, functional, giving absolutely no thought to looks. The machinery, symbol of evergoing progress, would burst out from underneath the stone sarcophagi of traditional architecture, and be the face of tomorrow's city.
Then, this too became the past, be it only because the inside of computers also evolved, became ever sleeker and more functional, and the ruined dictatorship found itself unable to keep up with the ever changing landscape of technology.
