More than likely it is because it rhymes with LAKE.
If if was BAKE the LAKE, you would get a whole different crowd. It would still work for Laconia's party persona.
Laconia, and particularly the Weirs, only have the party atmosphere to fall back on. They haven't really been able to develop another persona.
They tried to build a new manufacturing base under the Straight Arrows... but not one of them had any real knowledge of manufacturing or the issues around it.
They tried to rebuild agricultural... but I believe that turned into cultural... and has gone away. Again, no one on the Council currently understands agriculture.
So it is easier just to fall back on the party.
