Most common addiction in your nation?

Postby Great Armenia » Sun Oct 05, 2014 3:27 pm

In Great Armenia, many lower-class citizens attain a gambling addiction around the time they start college. This has resulted in 24% of the population having a gambling addiction, making it the most common addiction in Great Armenia.

Mana Fortification potion addiction with Regeneration potion addiction not far behind. Mana Fortification Potions is like magic steroids. It allows a magic user to increase his magical power capability extremely fast though some people seem to get hooked to the idea of great amounts of power and just keep buying them and drinking them and practicing all the time. It's hard to get them rehabilitated too because they sometimes go mad with power.

With the regeneration potions though, some people seem to like feeling invincible and a recent study showed that cloned human tissue given periodic injections of Regeneration potion every 18 hours could naturally regenerate after about a month of injections. However, only 20% of the samples ever got this ability. The others seemed to lose their natural ability to heal or clot blood. As such, people started taking these a lot in hopes of getting regenerative capabilities. Most end up being dependent on it just to stay alive after it messes up their natural healing ability.

Chouchen to be precise, although beer, cider and wine are also consumed.

Although Chouchen generates only addiction but no grave consequences, it is normal. The other beverages however, are the ones of the problem.

Alcoholoism and tobacco addiction are quite common across the Empire, but numbers have been dropping since the 1970s.

Paperwork.

The Low, the artificial bureaucrat species of the Serenity, are inherently obsessed with efficiency and documentation. This makes them very good at managerial and organizational matters, but makes them have issues with social skills and asserting themselves to their superiors. This does not matter however, as they are only going to command robots and are supposed to be intimidated by their superiors.

Gambling*, caffiene, alcohol**, and opium**. In that order.





* = "Gambling addiction" is not a recognized illness and is not punishable by institutionalization or anything else. So-called "gambling addicts" are seen as weak people who are trying to make up an excuse for their lack of self control and paucity of responsibility.

** = These are illegal and punishable by jailtime.
