	Street-side food stalls are the most popular way to get a meal in the city. Typical restaurants or taverns found elsewhere are practically nonexistent, as few can afford the seating space, and Hubanese inns are usually sleeping spaces only. These stalls sell everything from snacks to full meals and drinks, usually in forms that can easily be eaten on the go. Portable stoves in the stalls create a permanent haze of smoke in many streets of the city. It is unusual for most dwellings to have kitchens of their own.

	The city was granted a level of autonomy, functionally separating it from Langkha, and the new arrivals were allowed a significant degree of social and political influence. This came with a number of restrictions, however. Most notably, inhabitants of the city were required to remain on Crane Island and were disallowed from venturing elsewhere in [[Kea Racha]] unless granted a special exemption.

	Pela Huban is arguably the largest city in the world, with an estimated one and a half million inhabitants. The exact population is not definitively known, as past efforts at conducting a census have been stymied by the city's dysfunctional government and the constant influx of new residents. Roughly a million more people live just outside Pela Huban, on the opposite banks of the Blackwater River. Though officially residents of Langkha, it is not uncommon for people living there to travel across the river regularly for work and to visit marketplaces.
