For example free pokemon health care or curfew (policemans battling every trainer on sight only durning night). In communist block, many institutions were schooling new employees to the point they were even similar in look. People who lived on the eastern side of iron curtain should remember, for example, women in ticket selling points at train stations. All almost the same.
