Mirzak: Difference between revisions

Life in modern Mirzak has been variously described by locals and visitors as 'hellish', 'fast paced' and 'extremely unforgiving'. Exiled human rights advocate Chang De-Wong described the city as 'Daxia's heart of darkness, both a relic of a brutal imperial past and a nightmarish vision of a future where freedom, virtue and human dignity are snuffed out by an ever growing police state'. The city's sheer scale and terrible wealth inequality seems to activate what many sociologists have called the 'callous gene', in which the inhabitants of a large metropolis intent on surviving their daily life grow ever more selfish and cold towards other people. The capital of Daxia is a city of great contrast, from gratuitous displays of obscene wealth separated from cramped shanty towns by as little as two city blocks to racist harangues against foreigners broadcast from makeshift megaphones competing for the ears of passerby with the call to prayer of a mosque; the city is a great laboratory of what the rest of [[Daxia]] might look in the following decades if it continues to open up.
