Other cases revealed by the website include the publication of images of what appears to be a [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PDD]] membership card for Zhenli Ye Gong, top boss of the Daxian mafia. Also included are photos of him appearing at the venues of official state receptions and taking selfies with important politicians included Chancellor [[Prib Dodd|Dodd]]; when questioned on the subject at an international convention the Chancellor simply said that he meets hundreds of people and takes selfies everyday and cannot be expected to do background checks of everyone. If these reports are confirmed true this could be confirmation of an unprecedented string of complicities and the merging of government and crime into a single entity. One facet the government does not hide is its use of novel drug treatments to subdue people who resist it, ranging from dissidents forced to become addicts to heroin and locked up in insane asylums to the blanket sedating of people in [[Crona]] regardless of their age.

Drug consumption has been on an upward trajectory for the past thirty years; data from the World Health Organization is predicting drug use will reach epidemic levels by 2040 unless urgent measures are taken to address the health emergency.

Regardless of the true figure of drug addits, the government has been sluggish in its response first by constantly denying there is a health crisis and prosecuting medical experts for sounding the alarm and in the government's words 'sowing mistrust in national health authorities'. Reportedly police have started cracking down hard on those caught peddling drugs from non authorized sources, commiting extra-judicial executions of suspects, raiding Narcotics Anonymous meetings; all of these measures are seen as window dressing as long as the legality of most drugs and the big pharmaceuticals are not seriously tackled.
