Anyway, I'm working on KMnS concepts.
Idea for the library that's housed in the great tree that grows on an island that's basically considered the center of the world, and the only completely neutral territory on the planet. No (national) politics or policies or disputes, primarily because it's an island completely dedicated to the storage and collection of information. The sole purpose of any settlements is to maintain the island so that the area remains free and without any interference from wildlife or any military or political powers from the other kingdoms, territories and whatnot.
Of course, that does mean there are villages where people live, farming for food to feed travelers (and themselves), a relatively simple economy for buying and trading essentials for survival and whatnot. Likely has a solid international postal system for sending and receiving information.
