Half Life 2: Dominion

City 14 exemplifies Combine control, its skyline defined by brutalist concrete and fortified infrastructure. Ruled by Administrator Elena Grace with harsh efficiency, the city serves as a showcase of absolute compliance enforced through strict discipline and punishment. Encircling the inner districts is the Non-Citizen Zone—a sprawling slum for those with negative loyalty ratings, denied rations and work. Patrolled by aggressive CP units, it stands as a grim warning of disobedience’s cost. The infamous Anticitizen Processing Center is known for rapid convictions and direct transfers to the Citadel’s detention levels. The city’s industrial zone focuses solely on military production, not civilian welfare. Surveillance drones and high-security checkpoints create an atmosphere of suffocating control beyond even typical Combine norms.
