It seems some people are suggesting the wall that goes all the way around the city is not a circle. This is hard to imagine. We never see any corners. When Rakka works inside the wall, we see it is a steady curve into the distance. I agree that the wall must be a circle, or else there are corners that we are never shown, despite our many views of the wall. In defense of the non-circle advocates, the views from inside the wall show a much stonger curve that what the outside view suggests we should. Make of that what you will.

Seriously; if Kami-sama wanted you to know what was outside the walls, Kami-sama wouldn't have built them so tall. Quorlox, ever hear about what happened to the Tower of Babel?

Speaking of the wall, I wonder why nobody has tried to build something tall enough to look over the wall. Before trying to climb it, at risk of life and limb, I'd really want to know if there was anything on the other side worth the effort.
