The Street above Jungle
"If you want to buy anything The Suspended Street is a place to go.
It's a city that consists of one very long street (stretching for 10 km) almost completely covered in shops, workshops, and factories. There are designated area where traveling merchants can sell their wares (after payment of trading fee). Where does its name come from?
Apparently, the first plants of Jungle started growing way beneath the ground of The Street.
With the growth of Jungle, the stalks and branches uplifted The Street, somehow not destroying it in the process.
Now the city is 60 meters above the ground.
It has large crane-lifts, which can raise loads weighing hundreds of tons. At least once in your lifetime, you should visit that place.

Government
The laws of The Street are established by the council consisting of representatives of every trading and crafting guild that existed in the city for at least 5 years.
Defences
There are only two ways to get there: by the lifts (which are costly and very crowded) or by the Jungle (which is very dangerous).
In case of emergency, all lifts are turned off, so armed forces can focus on the only way of entry left.
On the edges of the Street, there are cannons placed for additional defense.
