Unlicensed Anarchy

Life inside the Triad-run dens and unregulated clinics.

  1. The Vacuum

    A Powerless Peak

    Following WWII, thousands of refugees flooded the enclave. Since neither Britain nor China exerted control, a massive legal vacuum opened.

  2. Shadow Government

    Rise of the Triads

    The 14K and Sun Yee On triads filled the power gap. By the 1950s, the Walled City became a sovereign territory for organized crime.

  3. Economic Engine

    The Black Market Bloom

    Unrestrained by taxes or health codes, the city became a hub for 'illegal' but high-demand goods. Business was booming in the shadows.
