I remember Alan Moore wrote a series called Top Ten about a city where literally everyone is a superhero as a satire on their increasing proliferation in comics that deals with the idea of how you go about dealing with crime in a chronically overpowered world.
I feel like someone with a very detailed knowledge of D&D systems could create a genuinely batshit version of Union where the police force is just one bored super-wizard solving every crime with a wish spell and the fishmonger serves fillets of Kraken since it’s the only fish that offers them a challenge. The price of a drink in the pub is reckoned not in gold but in kingdoms and the bouncer is a minor god that has fallen on hard times. There’s a petting zoo full of dragons and their keeper is the only person alive who knows what the plural of tarrasque is.
_City of Heroes_ sometimes gently poked fun at itself there - because like any MMO the streets were full of monster spawns to fight, but (obviously) these are things like muggers and gangsters, you'd have NPCs complaining about the sheer frequency with which their handbags got stolen and returned by passing capes.
The silly version of Union would be much better. I wouldn't feel it was expected to make sense.
