Dead End

Overview


Dead end is a quaint little town north of Copenhagen. There are approximately 430 people living there. Most people in this town spend their days wishing that the tourism industry was better. At least, when they aren't working themselves to death. There is a carnival that happens once a month in town, but outside visitors rarely show up. This is most likely due to the ritualistic sacrifices that are performed every hour of the carnival, but other equally valid theories exist. Those theories include, but are not limited to:
 * Poor quality attractions
 * The constant offers of cheap rabies shots in town
 * The town wide tetanus pandemic
 * The herds of 10 foot tall jackelopes that roan outside the town

Visitors have become even more scarce after the town paid to have a guidance sign placed on the road between Copenhagen and Cobainia. Local officials have investigated the cause of the lowered number of visitors, but to no avail. More on this story as it develops.

History
In the middle of town, there is a statue of an ancient hero who once visited these parts. Due to years of rain, however, the statue now appears to be of someone with Down's Syndrome wearing armor and holding an ornate sword. None of the townsfolk are able to remember the legendary hero, but all revere the statue with great dignity. It is said that during the time he was alive, Dead End was a prosperous town that didn't have to worry about when the net visitor would arrive, for by the time one started looking, the next visitor had already arrived. The official census records show that this hero probably lived some time around 200 years ago.

Commerce


While there isn't much for visitors to see in Dead End, there is much work for those who live there to do, as Dead End is the home of the massively subsidized farming plots that are sent to the Industrial District in Cobainia. Farmers are allowed to keep twenty percent of what they grow in order to feed themselves, fertilize their soils, and appease their vicious and relentles deities. Without these farmlands, most of Angstasia would likely starve. Or learn how to hunt. But probably starve.
