It is a highly effective and brutal machine. Everyone, down to the citizens and as high as the CmB itself, fears Overwatch and its commands. Overwatch prides pure efficiency and its execution of operations are highly smooth compared to other entities. The whole CmB oversees Overwatch to ensure that nothing is amiss.[/color] [color=00a651]Civil Protection -[/color] [color=FFE5A4]Civil Protection, CP, is the police force responsible for the civil order within mass-urban centers. Their job is not to protect citizens but to enforce the will of the state and to protect the soci-stability of the area. Overwatch directly commands and controls Civil Protection. This police force is highly effective at its job of suppressing the people, guaranteeing law and order, and ensures that no-one steps out of order.[/color] [color=00a651]Bureau of Enlightenment -[/color] [color=FFE5A4]The Bureau of Enlightenment, BOE for shorthand, is the media and censorship arm of the Union. The BOE has the task of ensuring that unauthorized media, news, and info do not enter into the Universal Union. The bureau also produces plenty of pro-Union and pro-CmB propaganda for the masses to “enjoy.”[/color] [hr][hr] [center][u][color=9e0b0f]Weaknesses[/color][/u][/center] [color=9e0b0f]Who are the Real Benefactors? -[/color] [color=FFE5A4]CmB, translated as “Our Benefactors,” refers to the all-powerful six-person committee in the Universal Union. In propaganda, the plural version is always used, with the singular-noun, “Our Benefactor,” never-ever utilized. This is done to portray a united and strong leadership. In reality, every single person in the central committee seeks to be either the “One True Benefactor,” and or replace the committee with “Real Benefactors” that are truly loyal to the Union. The power struggle amongst these power-hungry and ambitious people have caused plenty of issues for the UU, and it seems that this friction has no end in sight until someone is truly satisfied.[/color] [color=9e0b0f]We are Born -[/color] [color=FFE5A4]The Risen, also known as We Are Born, is a resistance movement that seeks to undo the chains of oppression set upon by the CmB. Even in tightly controlled areas, We are Born can seem to operate everywhere. The Risen sees this conflict against the Union as a war for humanity, and the operations that these revolutionaries have done can, in most cases proved, to be highly damaging to Union functions. The hopes and dreams of a better society for the masses cannot be easily extinguished.[/color] [color=9e0b0f]The Loyalist -[/color] [color=FFE5A4]The majority of the population are either apathetic, distrusting of the government, or secretly a-part of We are Born. In order to ID those who are loyal from those who are not, a loyalist system has been installed. At the very bottom is the Supporter Grade 1 and it goes up to Supporter Grade 3. From there - if you are proved to be a true loyalist - you can get the rank of Collaborator Grade 1 and gain entry into the Lower Party, and the system goes on and on. As you can imagine, only a small percentage of people are loyalists.[/color] [hr][/cell][/row][/table]
