      They're usually extended. What passes for mutual aid in the imperial core us charity from the poor to the poor for the most part. It filters into the benefits of the ruling class if the surplus population keeps itself alive with minimal cost. It's why aid needs to come with a strong message attached.

        When things get to that point, local gas stations won't exist. The military loves to centralize control.

        You'll have one gas station at the center of town, and you'll need to queue for two hours to get your gasoline lottery ticket, then queue for another two hours to turn that ticket in to a pump that's already been drained by a couple of privates selling the fuel on the black market the prior night.
