Vol V Chapter 168

There was only one country on the entire Main Plane unaffected by the drought, and it was the Republic of Northwest. It was on the most northwest area of the plane, and it was always cold there. Because of the freezing cold, there were large amounts of snowfall, and underground water sources were plentiful as well.

Other than that, the land was not rich. Farming was not the main trading activity, and there were few crops and animals, requiring fewer water sources. Major activities that required water were construction-based and could be halted if water was scarce.

Furthermore, they did not have a large population, and their living needs were rather basic. Even with a big drought, they managed to supply sufficient amounts of water for the residents to maintain their simple lifestyles. Many humans had already flocked to the Republic of Northwest as tourists to enjoy the plentiful water supply.
