. . . or the shrubbery on page 69 placed slightly higher to give a nice two-level effect with a little path in the middle?



Anyways, I think the author is being intentionally cryptic. We know about as much as the characters know about the world. There does seem to be a concerted effort on the part of the Ruling Class to prevent anyone getting very far--like inventing a hot-air balloon in one panel. "Why?" Well, "we" have no idea at this stage. "Outside" could be a Post-Apocalyptic Scorched Earth [Tm.--Ed.] or could be perfectly fine with lots of shrubbery and a majestic moose but certainly not a laden swallow.

Though consider this: if "the world" is "fine" outside of the area which includes "Homeland" why would the Homelanders give a defecation about the humans in their walls? Why not take that land and do what they want?

This also came to me: why do the Homelanders lack technology as well? What is "stopping" them?
