Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions.

From: Officially Non-Criminal

It is a thriving hub of revolutionary activity and the home of countless criminal gangs. The Constabulary would send a delegation all the way out here to clear the place out, but they'll need inside help.

Game Instructions: This will bring you three Constable favours and various other rewards. It will entirely wipe out the Hinterland Prosperity and Efficiency of the city, and raise City Waning. There may also be effects on the city's ideological alignment.

Unlocked with 100,000 x Hinterland Prosperity, Exploration of a Hinterland City 80

Locked with Favours: Constables 5, Hinterland City - Official Alignment is: Complacently Unrevolutionary, Hinterland City - A Blithe Indifference to Politics
