In the vein of ''ComicBook/GothamCentral'', the general concept is ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meeting]] ''Series/TheWire'', as written by an [[BombThrowingAnarchist anarcho-capitalist]].

Created by {{Octane}}. Working title.

!!Tropes:

* AntiVillain: Most of the antagonists.
* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: [[HanlonsRazor Not evil]], ''per se'', but compulsory monopoly.
* AuthorTract: [[{{Anvilicious}} Not subtle.]] At all.
* BadCopIncompetentCop
* TheCity
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Implied, eventually, probably.
* CrapsackWorld
* CreateYourOwnVillain: A big theme.
* CrimeAndPunishmentSeries
* CyberPunk: In technological '[[TechnologyLevels level]]' (yes I realise that is ridiculous).
* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: Not often. In fact, probably not ever.
* DarkFic
* DieselPunk (dystopia/deco): In aesthetic and theme.
* DownerEnding: There's really no way it can [[EarnYourHappyEnding end positively]].
* FantasticRacism: [[DoubleSubversion Double-subverted]]; the cast is composed of variegated species, which should produce rampant racism--but doesn't. However, there is always an undercurrent of racial tension and "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything feline guilt]]".
* GRatedDrug: Catnip (nepetalactone) and valerian (actinidine) exist as drugs (equivalent to perhaps marijuana or khat), [[SubvertedTrope but heroin and cocaine are the drugs of choice.]]
* TheGovernment
* InherentInTheSystem: Tyranny.
* TheMafia
* TheMafiya
* MeaningfulName: Dunshaud is always grey--or feels that way, anyway.
* OurFounder: Leonard Giles, 1st Baron Dunshaud.
* PoliceBrutality
* Political Drama
* ShoutOut: To ''Series/TheWire'' (of course) and ''Film/WarGames''. And maybe a few others; we'll see.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Hard on the cynicism.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: With various means and utopias.
* VigilanteMan
* VillainWithGoodPublicity
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The politicians, police, vigilantes, etc. Few actually think they're being extremists, however--it just kind of builds.
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Dunshaud is somewhere in Massachusetts. Or maybe Connecticut. Or Maine. Who really knows? It might not even be a part of this planet. I don't intend to get into it, in any case.
