O'Douls is a 'non alcoholic' malt drink made by a brewer. That is NOT to say there is NO alcohol in it, but less tha .05%. It's not bad and what I drink now, but that's another story.

As for the industrial hemp, it might not be a good narcotic trade item but IS for fiber and seeds I think.

I've used human traffickers in campaigns in the past as a way to quickly define hostile groups. It's a black and white topic that no honorable man will accept.

Lots of roleplaying oportunities can come from this, including rescuing enslaved friends, family or just locals.

Alternatively a unit of PCs could suddenly find out that their allies after defeating a maruader group or Soviet formation, thinks it's OK to take their females as spoils of war. How do your PCs deal with that?

Females, as spoils of war, sad to say, is something as old as warfare itself. That would not be unusual, from 1998 onwards. The Soviets would have that view even in the campaigns in the PRC from 1995-97, and Soviet soldiers would likely have the same attitude towards female POWs.
