One of the more infamous results of the Ther economic bubble popping is the widespread prostitution that occured directly thereafter. Prostitution was formerly competely outlawed in Thervala, due to the highly religious nature of the country. Many foreign investors and businessmen had been sentenced to long tenures in prison due to the solicitation of prostitutes during the bubble economy. This became a much bigger problem when the economy crashed and was exacerbated due to the RTAP's corruption. As much as 60% of the RTAP in Wat Khram frequented Brothels or Street girls during their time as the acting police force. To combat this and potentially help the economy, the government decided to fully legalize prostitution. This helped to protect the rights and safety of working women as well as their ability to set their prices. | One of the more infamous results of the Ther economic bubble popping is the widespread prostitution that occured directly thereafter.

==== The Ther Migrant Crisis ==== | |||
After the near collapse of the Ther economy and the dramatic increase of crime within the country, thousands of Thers decided to leave the country for a more stable one. Years of conflicts within the government and supporting Burgoignac wars had left many Ther people feeling jaded towards their nation and government. A mass exodus of an estimated 15,000 Thers left the country for [[Ogonkai]] in early 1992, due to its historic economic stability and high quality of life. The Ogonkaic-Ther border soon became overwhelmed by thousands of migrants on foot and in cars. | |||
