Life in the Cities

Urban life in Oceanyka is unpredictable. Gangs infest the streets, while the local police force is usually outnumbered at the dozen to one or more. Corruption is rampant and crime ravages the population. A cursed blessing is the large amount of gun ownership in cities; on one hand families can and commonly do protect themselves against abuse, but gunfights out in the open street are fierce and destructive. Commerce and culture does flourish despite the constant explosions and bursts of fire. Notably, construction companies are always in business.
