Ecuador is facing a brutal international drug war that has resulted in one of the highest homicide rates in Latin America. The country's geography, sandwiched between major cocaine producers Colombia and Peru, has made it a strategic hub for Mexican, Colombian, and Albanian cartels. The port city of Guayaquil has become particularly dangerous as gangs fight for control of export routes to the U.S. and Europe.

In Amsterdam, a "Corona bus" drives through the streets broadcasting warnings in multiple languages about social distancing and fines. The use of drones to disperse citizens on beaches in the Netherlands is highlighted as a sign of increasing dystopia.
