Sala City

Sala City is a strange, semi-functioning urban sprawl where the rules of reality bend slightly to accommodate nonsense. It’s a place where mushrooms rave, dream logic occasionally overrides traffic laws, and municipal services exist in name only. Beneath its everyday exterior, Sala City pulses with barely-contained absurdity, often surfacing in the form of misplaced infrastructure, oddly specific laws, and mysteriously self-replicating signage.

Overview

Type: Urban Center
First Appearance: Roll With the Punches
Role: Primary Setting of the Series

General Atmosphere

Casually Surreal: Nothing in Sala City ever seems quite right, but no one really questions it.
Mundane but Offbeat: You can buy coffee, pay a parking ticket, and stumble into a pocket dimension all on the same block.
Mild Bureaucratic Dystopia: Paperwork rules all, but most forms are outdated or ask questions like “Do you exist on Wednesdays?”

Governance

Mayor: Bunnyrack O'Bunny
Cheerful, ineffective, and generally bypassed by his aides who make the actual decisions.
City council exists in theory but mostly sends apologies via fax.

Laws & Services

Law Enforcement: Officer Barky heads most visible policing, though enforcement is wildly inconsistent depending on who’s asking.
Public Transit: No one is sure if it exists. A trolley was seen once in 1998 and may still be circling the city underground.
Emergency Services: Functioning in a “best effort” capacity. Most fires are classified as “ambient.”

Notable Locations

Data Bark Center — A subterranean server facility operated by Boingo, Sala City’s most cheerful and technically gifted dog. It hums with both data traffic and the occasional barking echo.
Dook and Flops' House — The slightly sentient home of the duo, notable for its clutter, electrical hum, and recurring sentient appliances such as The Fridge.
The Kiosk — A snack stand managed by The Stoat, often serving as the city’s informal information hub.
Vivian's Car Dealership — Home of Vivian Wease’s questionable automotive empire.

Trivia
