(Source: Index card file. House of Zeor) Federal Police: Seems to operate out of New Washington --- term "federal" indicates some sort of state/province set up.
Have a lot to do with simes.
Uses "undercover field operatives."
Have a system of retirement pension --- shows a certain amount of social welfare and labor attitudes.
Treasury uses paper currency --- central system similar to what we use now. Use of economic terms like "market" and "economy."
Both the ARMY and the GEN GUARD (border guards) have high pay and early retirement.
"Sime-loving" or sympathizing is a convictable offense, sedition. (Sime-lover is a derogitory term and Hugh believed it was said about him behind his back.)
Apparently, parents must "destroy" children who turn sime. If they don't they can be executed.
Federal Police give a "full retirement pension," enough to live on, with land --- some sort of social welfare system.
