Security Police of the Italian People's Republic

The Security Police of the Italian People's Republic was the supreme State security agency. Modelled on the Soviet KGB, the Security Police existed solely to insure that Italian citizens were good and loyal adherents to communism and did not support or disseminate pro-capitalist notions. Most citizens feared the Security Police, as the organization had limitless authority to investigate and punish dissenters, including the use of torture. Thus, Security Police officers and their families had a great deal of political clout.

Nonethless, the Security Police was nothing compared to the KGB in terms of ferocity and corruption.

In 2097, the Security Police investigated three small shops dedicated to gaming: the The Conductor's Cap in Rome; The Gladiator in Milan, and; The Triple Six in San Marino, which was actually outside Italian jurisdiction, but that didn't stop them. In short order, the Security Police determined that the three shops existed to subtly introduce notions of capitalism into Italian society. It moved to seize all three shops. However, the various employees evaded them. Astonishingly, the fingerprints that could be traced to the shop-clerks were not in any known database.
