Utah is a republic located in central western Pemhakamik, to the east of Pacifica's California region. Utah is one of the richest nations in the world. While most Utahans live a modern life, many still choose to live somewhat traditionally in designated areas. The wealth of Utah comes mostly from Las Vegas, which attracts many Pacificans and others from Pemhakamik and around the world. Catering to foreigners, Utah is cautious about the extent to which Las Vegas plays a role, as excessive gambling is seen as a vice and brings in a widely ethnically divergent populace. With this in mind, the area surrounding Las Vegas is unable to be built upon, assuring that Las Vegas remains a place of hotels more than sprawling suburbs. Salt Lake City, on the other hand, is a much more quiet city. Most of the country is arid, semi-arid, and/or mountainous.
