* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: The problem that literally everyone in the Loss has to deal with. When the government pulled back to the Recession, they declared everyone in the Loss administratively dead for a variety of reasons, including politics and economic necessity. This makes it very difficult for anyone in the Loss to get into the Recession because, if they ''have'' any documents proving their identity, that identity is invariably unable to enter because dead people don't cross borders. For Takers that are trying to get into the Recession, this means getting enough Bounty to bribe, cajole and blackmail people into making them administratively ''alive'', in addition to getting additional documentation to meet the draconian requirements of DQHS to cross the barriers. Ironically, the Bounty that they're collecting is intended to prove ''other'' people are dead.

** The prospect of "Bounty" is also this: due to the sheer number of casualties in the Loss, as well as the disruption to record keeping and vital statistics, no one knows who owns what in the Loss, and records in the Recession as only slightly better. The government pays money for driver's licenses and other documents because they're trying to determine what they can seize from the deceased without having to worry about next of kin. The economy of the US is thus based on figuring out who owns the things and places that you're scavenging. It's also noted that this isn't a good foundation for an economy, and only works because of the totalitarian government in control of everything, and even then it requires that the government not acknowledge reality to make it work[[note]]In order for the government to pay people for recovering documents from the Loss, the government has to refuse to acknowledge that they're not in control of the Loss, as well as ignoring that the person that is delivering the documentation to them is themselves administratively ''dead'', as the government declared everyone in the Loss as deceased in order to be able to seize their assets[[/note]].
