Outlier

Outliers are enclaves that are linked to central enclaves by portals. Outliers typically link only to their associated central enclave, and serve as a link between the external world and the central enclave (which may not have regular access to the external world). Outliers are an informal category, and the term can be used for any "suburb" of a major enclave, even if it has portals to other enclaves as well.

The largest enclaves are all accessible only through enclaves. Elten has four: UNNAMED in Ontario, Canada, UNNAMED in Wisconsin, United States, and Mısoki in Michigan, United States are all connected to the outside world, and all three have a single portal leading to UNNAMED in Wisconsin, United States. UNNAMED then has a portal leading in to Elten. Elten thus has a two-tier outlier system.

While enclaves are prototypically small (e.g. Mekeras has a population of 3700), not all of them are--Akoke is the third-largest city in Sanmra, yet is often considered an outlier of Sakaran.
