Carlin is a rundown, poverty and crime infested district on the western edge of Lunara. [[Lunsoc]] has mostly lost control of Carlin to a gang known as the Brazucas, led by a local murderer known as Menino Gostoso. The Brazucas control most criminal activities in the area including pushing hard drugs, murder for hire, extortion and phishing scams. Any businesses left pay protection money to the gang as do panhandlers and street performers. | Carlin is a rundown, poverty and crime infested district on the western edge of Lunara.

Lunara's ''''Dwarf City'''' is a unique part of the town, as it is populated exclusively by [[ | Lunara's ''''Dwarf City'''' is a unique part of the town, as it is populated exclusively by [[Daxia]]n citizens born with dwarfism. [[Dwarfism in Daxia]] has historically been seen by Daxian society as the product of divine retribution leading to dwarves being shunned throughout history or categorized as devious and untrustworthy. Many dwarves then choose to seclude themselves or gather only with other dwarves. In the year 2005 [[Lunsoc]] started a flyer campaign inviting dwarves to go live in their planned settlement of Lunara, with housing being provided at a token cost. The campaign saw hundreds of applications from dwarves all over the country. An initial two hundred were selected for the program to form the core of the dwarven district. The rationale for [[Lunsoc]]'s campaign has never been made public but there are numerous rumors such as that the dwarves would be enslaved and turned into a caste of diminutive servants for the Lunsoc leadership or that the dwarves would be a source of income by renting them out for events. In any case, none of these theories came to pass and more dwarves were accepted such that the number living in town rose to around five hundred by 2020. | ||

[[Lunsoc]] authorities saw fit to give the dwarven sector a high degree of authonomy to govern their own affairs. Consequently the dwarves decided on the election of a single dwarf as their representative and district authority for life, the 'Head Dwarf'. The Head Dwarf is accorded various privileges such as the right to wear royal regalia, have an armed ceremonial guard with him at all times, be provided with a living salary and a big people chair to preside over meetings and community gatherings. In 2014 the Head Dwarf was given official sanction by the [[Party of Daxian Democrats|Party]], handed party membership and given jurisdictional authority over all dwarves in Gashun county. Pundits are of the opinion that the increased powers and oversight of the Head Dwarf are meant to counterbalance the power of the [[Lunsoc]] nomenklatura in the town. Outwardly, the Head Dwarf appears to continue to have a cordial relationship with both Lunsoc and the regional authorities and in the very rare cases of criminality within Dwarf City has had their assistance in resolving such issues. However he has stepped up the recruitment of dwarves to the city and began pressuring Lunsoc to allow him to expand 'Dwarf City' to adjoining street blocks. For its part Lunsoc has opened an office inside Dwarf City and begun recruiting dwarves into its ranks. A possible dwarven attempt at a hostile takeover with the blessing of the [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PCD]] cannot be discounted. | [[Lunsoc]] authorities saw fit to give the dwarven sector a high degree of authonomy to govern their own affairs.
