Brainblow City
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Brainblow City is the "seedy underworld" in which the Dangeresque franchise is set. It is first mentioned in Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, where it's described as "a town as hard as steel and twice as gray".
Dangeresque claims that Brainblow City is the only place left in the world where the rare Stickanee Tree can be found, and that the city's water is among the most contaminated in the world, as drinking it is known to cause spontaneous mutations. He also claims that there's nothing but "desolate wastelands and probably tar pits" beyond the city limits; as he is wanted outside of the city for "Undisclothed Violations", Dangeresque avoids leaving Brainblow. According to Strong Bad on Instagram, there was a billion-dollar space project to put Venetian blinds over the moon, casting atmosphering lighting across the whole city; this project "kinda bankrupted the city and might be the reason it's so grimy and corrupt and full of crime". According to Dangeresque, the city has a strict "No Combining Items" law; one of the few he follows. He also owns an "i ♥ Brainblow City" mug, seen in Dangeresque Puppet Squad: The Hot Jones Hijack.

Due to the apparent lack of urban areas within Free Country USA and the low production values of Strong Bad's movies, the city is usually depicted by the field; in Dangeresque 3, the set is constructed from a cardboard cutout with buildings painted on it, standing behind the brick wall.
A more realistically-rendered Brainblow City has been visualized in games. In Dangeresque 3's Extended Play, Strong Bad describes the city as looking perfectly gloomy and dire. It similarly appears as an actual city in Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate (particularly Roomisode 2) with streets, traffic, buildings, and a spacious sewer system underneath.
