The Xisheng Office of Contentment is a state level office charged with the maintenance of high levels of contentment among the native populations of Corummese Crona. In conjunction with the National Opium Syndicate, it provides native Cronan households with -specific large amount- of opium and opium derivates for consumption by all household members. Consumption of opium by natives has been mandatory since -insert specific ordinance/executive order- Masquerade as ancient custom? Real aim is state enforced addictions to maintain dependence and make compliance of unruly locals easier. Local officials work to come up with ingenious ways of giving more opium to people in race to comply with arbitrary metrics/gain brownie points that will ensure better posts in the metropole. Outsource distribution to native collaborators aka cronans killing cronans. Enhance compliance rates with dual approach of opium addictions and Three Alls approach on recalcitrant pops. Pros: Local population reduced to dysfunctional junkies, can't/wont fight back against dope dealer government. Local ethnicities slowly erased via drug related deaths. If not freely provided, Cronans further squeezed of income to pay for drugs compounding their bad situation. Cons: Local population turns to shit, useless and unproductive workers, increased criminality, increased government expense on health budgets(as if)
