Isn't it Mall Of America in Minnesota? I think that was the largest at one time, but I don't know if it's been surpassed.

PS: Malls suck the dignity out of humanity.
 
You got it LC.  It has been the largest mall in the world for about 20 years.  Recently, it has been surpassed by two Chinese malls, neither of which are as large as the slated United Arab Emirates (UAE) mall opening in the next year or so.

Next question?
 
Ah, the beautiful beaches at Pelagir.  The great river's mouth is quite near, and the water here is fresh and drinkable.  I'm enjoying a pipe, the tobacco for which has been specially imported down the Greenway for my use.  I can see sharp mountains across the river, like a wall.

What country am I in?
 
Very good!

Here's another:

Phew!  It's a warm one!  The woods don't seem to keep out the heat anymore.  Well, luckilly I can duck into Cavern Hole, it's somewhat cooler down there during the summer months.  I can hear the twin bells ringing.  Do you know the legend of the bells?  It's said they were made to replace the big bell, which smashed dead The Scourge.  Maybe the Abbot will have stories of the great warrior's magic sword that turns up in our histories time and time again.

Somewhere in the Redwall stories, but I haven't read any of them, so I don't know where...Redwall fort?
 
Sure, close enough!  Redwall Abbey.

I have a few more, but if people think these are getting a little ridiculous, just say so.  Some of the more obvious ones are more obscure, obviously.
 
No objections?  Good.

Well, I just got off the elevator, and I could hardly avoid getting hit by a paper airplane or two.  This is where I and many like me work, and it's a great way to line my pockets with gold, so to speak.  My job consists primarily of ensuring that people do not create dangerous types of animals through experimental breeding of different species.  As you can imagine, it can be tough work sometimes!  But the worst part about today is the fact that it's raining outside my window - sounds like the cleaners want a raise!

Where am I?
 
So let us look at some facts:

  • The building of paper aeroplanes suggests a bored workforce.
  • The concern of not creating animals that are dangerous through experimental breeding (or perhaps, for my argument, cloned).
  • It's raining.
  • The cleaners are soon to strike for a better pay.

This must be the UK. :innocent:

Not sure where the Gold fits in yet. :D
 
You're right, it is in the UK!  But you need to be a little more specific!

I edited my original post slightly to make one of the hints less ambiguous.
 
Well, if it is gold and cloning and raining outside - it has to be Scotland (or perhaps Edingbrugh - where the cloning of Dolly the sheep took place). The gold is in the form of liquid gold - i.e. North Sea Oil.
