Tourist Zones

Regional Movement Restriction and Offworld Visitor Control

Description

A regulated designation imposed by the Happiness Patrol's regime, Tourist Zones are the only permitted areas for offworld visitors. These zones function as controlled enclaves where non-compliant behavior is swiftly met with arrest or force. The classification serves dual purposes: maintaining the facade of a peaceful society for external observers and ensuring that political dissent remains confined to the margins. The regime's emphasis on performative happiness extends to spatial governance, restricting where outsiders may go to limit exposure to uncomfortable truths or disruptive ideologies. Within these boundaries, visitors encounter a sanitized version of society where resistance is invisible and penalized.
