The Concern is a covert organisation working across Bluff City and Blough City. Their stated purpose is to be a “a group which monitors the relationship between Bluff City and Blough City” and maintains the border keeping them in balance. However, the organisation is in a state of internal cold war between the 'Coast Guard' (those from Blough City operating in Bluff City) and people from Bluff City going into Blough City.
Concern members can be identified by their grey suits. In Bluff City, Blough City agents' faces look like the top shell of a horseshoe crab. In Blough City, Bluff City Concern agents' faces look like the bottom side of the crab. This is applicable to Concern agents only (not civilians from either City).
While investigating an Anomaly, the Concern set up a HQ within the Spannheuser Funfair and Amusements Company in The Woods of Woe. During the course of their investigation, a penny smasher appeared within their HQ. Small items that people felt were useful or that they needed would come out of the machine rather than smashed pennies. The Funfair is now used as a black prison site by the Concern.
The current status of the Concern is unknown.

Points of connection between Bluff and Blough City used by Concern agents. These take many forms, from jitney-bus transfers, to tunnels. When the Concern sends agents between Bluff and Blough, the Concern chooses the location.

Recently, Shunt Points between Blough and Bluff City and Bluffington have been discovered.
