After a near epidemic of stabbings, road rage incidents and fights at convenience stores and fast food joints the city administration began the installation of 'screaming booths' as part of a campaign to help people decompress in a non violent way. The screaming booth consists of a repurposed telephone booth in which the glass panes have been replaced by dark panels to obscure vision and the interior is cushioned. Citizens at risk of mentally breaking at the seams can enter any publicly available booth and simply release themselves through screaming and banging at the walls. | |||

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 lives 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. | ||
