Growth has been mostly in the Pimento Beach area as most of the residents living in Pimento Beach commute to nearby Milliken Mills, the unincorporated township to the West, to work.

Markland Port is directly connected to the Continental Kingdom of Mintakous and a proper border has been built to control access between the two...
