After reading up on the Bypassed East, I have come to learn that it is a place in which living conditions are difficult (with the exception of a few areas) due to climate and terrain.
"The Bypassed East is not an easy place in which to live and work. Its harsh climate, hilly terrain, and thin, rocky soils limit agriculture, except in a few particularly blessed locations. Few mineral resource deposits of substantial size have been found until recently. Coupled with a small local market and relative isolation, this has limited the development of manufacturing. The advantages that the area does offer thus become relatively more important."
