Worldbuilding thought!! A geographic region where, due to natural magical processes, every person entering gets mentally merged with everyone else present, becoming a single person with however many bodies there happen to be in the area. Whenever one person's body leaves the region, their mind is unmerged and put back in that one body without causing any harm.

@Felthry I feel like this should have been a yellow-spine DAW paperback published in the 70s, possibly written by Barrington J Bailey, possibly translated from another language. But the cover would have been glorious.

After the area is discovered, word of its properties slowly spreads, and soon its inhabitant builds a city. The city walls, being a more solid boundary, replace the natural boundaries of the effect, even as the city grows, spreading the effect out over time as a metropolis eventually forms.
The population grows fairly quickly, as many people leave wanting to return, to experience that again.
