planetary torture
torture; though not nearly as intense as conventional torture, yet still torture yet convoluted to the area of effect that spans the globe, so as to be oppressive or obsequious on a (nefariously) diluted level when accounted for it's comparison to land mass genuinely affected.
Alien: In regards to planet BIRTH, it seems planetary torture is existent because when we account all the Nation's oppressiveness and tortures against sentient beings, it is past the high threshold.
