Tbf I wouldn't be surprised if addiction was common place in the Imperium
Like usually when life is total dogshit. That's when an increasing amount of people turn to drugs.
Maybe it's to be more efficient at your job

To be honest I wonder if like
The middle class are controlled similar to how 1984 controlled the middle class.
Like how Ingsoc spends most of their resources specifically on making the middle class controllable
Because they know enough to be dissatisfied
Since the rich are on the top and are enjoying their spoils
While the poor literally just don't know any better
arctic talon
Yes
opaque coyote
And ironically enough, this leads to the poor people actually having more rights than the middle class.
arctic talon
Generally speaking the imperium is more lower middle class then upper middle class for the middle class lol
opaque coyote
I wonder if it's a similar situation
opaque coyote
Except for nobles
Even then it's a state of constant paranoia
Because everybody wants to either get your position or just wants you dead for some random offense
Again

It would be funny to have complaints from the nobles like
"The Poors down there are too happy. I want them to know their place! Kill them."
And if you don't, they'll refuse to help you pay the Tithe

I can also imagine that there is a possibility that you can create a not shitty world.
But it would be horrifically difficult and basically a challenge run
