Garlic cloves are one of those curious substances (along with accordions) that are much easier to find after the revolution. We players, being sophisticated pre-revolution folk with rare sensibilities, are mutually despised by rebels, who lack an ability to appreciate anything that cannot be smelt, heard, or whistled at further than you can roll a keg.

The consequence of this cultural divide means that the attempt to obtain garlic comes with a risk to your country. It entails causing the revolt of a city, and then making off with the rebels' garlic before they can usurp your utopia.
