If you are not going to allow sex, why?

As you may imagine, City 9 is a colony of the Universal Union aka "The Combine". Regarding the different freedoms: For this, I have to tell you something about the 'style' of the Universal Union. Most occupied races become mindless slaves and can make no decisions on their own. We can use them as workers, soldiers, just as we please and the only thing we have to do is keeping them alive, nothing else. Therefore: Low personal/political freedoms; Good industry represented by high economic freedoms | This nation is a part of the Universal Union(Combine). |

Explosives instead emit a nonlethal chemical intended to place victims in a comatose like state.
Mounted weapons (On Tanks, Planes, etc), use powerful blocks of various materials to knock down walls(None are explosive), use a specialized Rubber Bullet/Syringe hybrid on all mounted machine guns.
Pretty ridiculous.

Insanely so. You wouldn't last five weeks against a dedicated foe. You'd be flooded with POWs, almost none of whom would have crippling injuries to worry about as they made every possible kind of effort to escape, and you'd have the added problem of fear, or, a distinctive lack of it, amongst the enemy.

Even so, and there are more problems with that approach. The needles would be useless against most modern armies, the majority of which employ body armor, meaning you'd have to train the men you deploy to achieve some very difficult shots, and regularly.
I hope you don't wind up in a war, or even in an especially dangerous peacekeeping situation. To expect soldiers, any soldiers, to go in thus equipped and trained is truly ridiculous.
