 * Danny Harris' depiction of Vyond City downplays the trope. Vyond City appears as a normal, yet relatively peaceful, suburban American city. Everyone is on their best behavior, and has good sense of morals. The dark part kicks in when you realize the reason everyone is well-behaved. Those who simply don't feel like behaving are grounded for extremely-long amounts of time, punished in many ways, even arrested or executed or worse, while the lives of those who aren't go on as before and even celebrate at the misfortune of someone who is misbehaved.
