Tagline: Crime Does Pay
Synopsis:
Following the rules should be easy. It's done every day. Driving the speed limit, using crosswalks, purchasing biomechanic parts for liscenced retailers, and throwing trash in garbage cans are all simple tasks. Yet somehow, people still need guidance on how to adhere to the law.
In Neo Elysium, there is no punishment. No one ever knowingly does evil. When convicted, some criminals are required to take classes so they know what wrong thing they have done. Others are required to take medications to control impulses, for they may know evil but they aren't doing it intentionally. For the particularly challenged, the courts can require stays in medical facilities where both medications and classes can be taken in conjunction.
Medical facilities are expensive to run, and one way to teach people and control their impulses is to remove them. A pilot program has emerged in Neo Elysium. Some selected young offenders can divert from these programs into community service programs. Sent to farms in the far North of Marcanty, these young people will learn the value of hard-work and obedience.
And maybe a couple of other things.

Once again, am I done writing Perverse? No. But, I want to speed write a bunch for Perverse while I'm waiting for applications for this. It just feels very ambitious since I've never successfully done something with this much world building. I've already developed the government, the geography, and the economy for this story, as well as the plot, but I feel like there is so much more to do.
Does this topic even interest you? Premise is a bunch of young delinquents in a high tech future city get shipped off to a farm as a reform. I'm very excited to work on this but I don't know if I can pull this off! Feedback is appreciated. AHHHHHHH!
