It was best known for two things: Its large production of corn and other produce-and its place in the backstory of nearly every Alternate of Superman who has appeared so far. For reasons unknown, CLULESS has remained functional in a minor capacity on this town, keeping it and its surrounding countryside extremely mutable-buildings, people and artifacts of alien origin appear and disappear at random times, some of these of great interest to the major Fiction races on Coreline. Currently, Smallville has the second-biggest Luthorcorp R&D facility in North America (outside of the corporation's main offices in Metropolis), and also holds the second-biggest per capita population of Kryptonians in North America (at 3% of population, first one being Metropolis, with a good 15%).
