... which is not truly separate from the society in which you live.
If life sucks for your countrymen, then you (not! the royal-you, I mean you: bluGill) will inevitably be stuck dealing with the consequences.
Neighborhoods & communities atomize. Crime increases. Fascism creeps in. The list goes on.
