Different from Baylands city-state and the rest, the unofficial Belfargos city-state was surrounded by a couple of desolate beasts domains. Considering it was the capital region of the planet, one would expect it to be devoid of such threats. Being so close to a desolate beast domain placed the region at a risk. It was even worse since Belfargos city-state was surrounded by them with a lot of them being classified as major domains.
In the case of Baylands city-state, only the main city —Baylands City— was neighbouring a major domain, the Wastelands and some minor ones like the Bayena Plain. This was because the original Baylands City was built to be a fortress city to prevent the desolate beasts from flooding out of the Wastelands. As for domains like Bayena Plain, they were left to exist as a means for employment and to train the younger generation.
