Geography
St. Peanutsburg is known to be based in the south Midwestern part of the United States. It is not highly known where the area is located, but the presence of a big river with a lake and a steamboat implies the area to be based around rural Louisiana or Florida.
However, the presence of a large desert-like area at the northeast of the city, which contains a Wild West-themed village conflicts directly with the statement above.
A lot of American aesthetics are present in this area when compared to Springdale.
