The year is 1982 <SED> Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, the only political party in the DDR that proposes an "Einheitsliste" for the vote, which people can agree or disagree on. Officially the agreement is always over 98%, suggesting it is very popular. It is not. Nearly everyone is member of this politicial party, rarely because of the ideology but rather because you can only get certain perks when being a member of it. Non members often get painted as treasoners </SED> <Stasi> Staatssicherheit, the DDR secret police that spies on their own people, promoting a paranoid environment because if you want to fight something you will. Many unassumable people will be members of the Stasi and report you for the smallest things to earn recognition. The Stasi does not shy away from "white torture" which consists of sleep, light or food deprivation and other psychological torture. Their prisons are infamous. Most communication commodities such as telephones are owned only by Stasi members. Stasi members are also spied on by other Stasi members regulary. They may sabotage your home or simply break into it to make you uneasy </Stasi>
