Is the situation terrible? The answer might be even worse than imagined.
The Empire has not collapsed, but everywhere, it is almost indistinguishable from collapse.
The cessation of colonial trade has left numerous factories without sources of raw materials, let alone markets, resulting in widespread halts and unemployment becoming the norm in the Empire's homeland today.
Other cities might be slightly better off, after all, due to smaller city scales and less developed industries, the impact is not as severe.
But for Langton, even though the city itself still has numerous demands, the widespread factory shutdowns and closures, along with worker unemployment, are the predominant social phenomena today in Langton.
As for large factories? Not to mention that these crucial large factories were initially on the list to be relocated to the Northern Territory.
