Sundair (city)
"A city where there are no masters nor rulers. Everyone has right and responsibility for welfare of the city. They have these votes when they need to decide something. And it is not just for citizens, also visitors may participate. You just write your name and opinion in a piece of paper and drop it in to the box. And then you got some paint in your hand. As I have always said, those monks are nuts. What else could explain this strange behaviour?"
