This lawless setting is often wonderful for allowing all varieties of creativity, ideas and/or tropes to flow in, be played and interact in interesting ways, and many plot conveniences that the protagonists need to get away with doing active work rather than just handing problems over to the police or running into Fridge Logic when they don't get arrested for taking the law into their own hands, while there are several takes on all sorts of unlawful or devious acts. Non-impoverished examples are arguably worse, ethically and morally speaking, since the inhabitants don't have deprivation as an explanation for the things they do. Sleazy, immoral decadence is frequently rife, and may not even be particularly hidden-if it is at all. ![]() At most, there's a pleasant façade to conceal the rot within. While people are more likely to be in decent financial shape, don't expect things to be any better in terms of morality. However, prosperous and affluent settings can also qualify as this trope. In short, poverty is the norm, not the exception. Housing (if you can get it) is unsafe, filthy, and overcrowded. ![]() Many buildings have been abandoned, to be occupied by vermin, hobos, or criminals. The roads may be cracked and broken, with a Trashcan Bonfire every fifty feet or so. Any schools in this place will almost inevitably be impoverished or sadistic. If this is true, facilities are usually falling apart, and the subways and buses are often full of crooks and junkies. It could be truly lawless with no authority other than the big stick you carry with you. An alternative is to have it as a gang-like system ruled by a mob boss, Big Bad or Evil Overlord who allows evil, but only to a certain standard. And that's if the setting has any functioning government at all. If this hive has any truly good authorities, expect them to be extremely overworked, incapable of controlling the skyrocketing crime everywhere, and just too idealistic to change things. Many officials are corrupt, such as Dirty Cops. There may be no actual government in this Wild West or Scavenger World because it is miles or light years away from civilization, and if there is it's probably a Dystopia that's corrupt, incompetent, obstructive or perhaps just uncaring enough to not bother to spread its reach to all corners of society. It will be a mostly lawless setting, usually (over) populated by criminals and outright run by Totalitarian Gangsterism. Take the worst, grimmest and darkest side of society, give them a place where all their sins are given free roam to be expressed, collect it into a system that can just barely sustain itself and you get the Wretched Hive.
