= World map Zones =
The world is subdivided into 8 '''Zones''', in which every town, intersection, and connecting roads can be found. They are simply named after their geographic location on the overall world map. A ninth Zone, simply known as the X-Zone or Secret Zone, is believed to be located deep underneath the Central Zone, and the area where the [[Proving Grounds]] (WIPthe true home of the [[Scientific Community]] and the [[Engineering Corps]])can be found.

All towns are modeled on the same basic layout and are distinguished from intersections by the presence of a town gate; a room that separates the town proper from the access points into the UA. All towns are guaranteed to have certain "basic" facilities, considered necessary for servicing a permanent population; these include a power generator, a water processing facility, some form of food production, a hospital, residential areas, a shop hub, a central social square, and some type of special facility. The exact quantity and types of facilities available may vary by town.
A town may also be considered to be either '''neutral / non-aligned''' or '''faction-aligned'''. Non-aligned towns usually have a certain degree of independence, as well as a diverse population. Faction-aligned towns are under the total control of one of the Mazes' major [[factions]], and their special facility, local laws , and population will generally reflect that.
Town local laws may also fall under one of two broad categories; '''[[Standard Law]]''' or '''Independent'''. Towns that follow Standard Law benefit from the ability to call the [[Maze Police]] for protection from criminals and processing of prisoners, whereas Independent towns generally manage their own safety and process their prisoners however they see fit, either in accordance to the mayors, or the faction governing them, if faction-aligned.
In total, there are '''61''' towns in the Mazes.

facilities == A town is subdivided into a variety of sections and facilities. Facilities that are considered essential (guaranteed to be found in every town) are '''bolded'''. Groups of facilities are ''italicized''. If something is '''''bolded and italicized''''', that means one facility in the group is guaranteed, but the particular type varies by town. * '''''Food production facility:'''''** [[List Artificial light farm]]** [[Food factory]]** [[Heaven Farm]]** [[Hell Horns of TownsPlenty]]** [[Hydroponics lab]]** [[Traditional land farm]]** [[Traditional sea farm]]* '''[[Generator facility]]'''* '''[[Hospital]]'''* '''[[Residential hub]]'''** [[Residential area]]** [[Duplex villa]]** [[Hotel]]** '''[[Town hall]]'''*** '''[[Town jail]]'''* '''[[Shop hub]]'''** [[Bar]]** [[Individual shops]]*** [[Clothing shop]]*** [[Delicatessen]]*** [[Engineering workshop]]*** [[Forge]]*** [[Gun shop]]*** [[Jewelry store]]*** [[Style shop]]*** [[Weapon shop]]* '''[[Social Square]]'''** '''[[Bank]]'''** [[Bar]]** [[Casino]]** '''[[Cleaning facility]]'''** '''[[Convenience store]]''' ([[Individual shop]])** [[Dojo]]** '''[[Hiring Bureau]]'''** [[Library]]** [[Restaurant]]** [[Shooting range]]** '''[[Street kitchen]]'''** [[Strip club]]* '''''Special facilities:'''''** [[Adult school]]** [[Factory]]** [[Laboratory]]** [[Military base]]*** [[Fort Wight base]]** [[Mining facility]]** [[Office complex]]** [[Police station]]*** [[Police headquarters]]*** [[Prison]]** [[Sanctum]]** [[Shrine]]** [[Warehouse facility]]** [[Youkai activist base]]* '''[[Town Entrance]]'''* '''[[Water facility]]'''
An intersection is guaranteed to have a rest stop, a bar, a convenience store, and some form of security. The primary function of an intersection is to provide a reliable, relatively safe area for travelers so that they can stop, rest, and restock on essentials such as food and ammunition before continuing on their journey. They can also serve as semi-permanent shop hubs, where traders sometimes install themselves to sell their wares to passing travelers until their stocks are depleted; at which point they leave, and the shops are closed until they return (or a new trader replaces them).
Intersections are officially neutral and not controlled by any particular [[faction]]. Intersection inhabitants are typically [[humans]], [[halflings]] and [[youkai]], with small numbers of other [[:Category:Civilized creatures|civilized]] and [[:Category:Sapient creatures|sapient]] creatures.
The [[Maze Police]] considers all intersections to be legal grounds for enforcement of [[Standard Law]], but actual enforcement may not be guaranteed everywhere, particularly in regions with strong faction influence, or in exceptionally remote locations.
In total, there are '''29''' intersections in the Mazes.
