She did a lot behind the scenes to help her grandfather out - she's Chairman MacDowell's granddaughter; I guess the name wouldn't tip off anyone who isn't Crossbellan.

Section One's never been able to do as much as they'd like, wherever the mafia is involved. They're just too high-profile not to have the hammer brought down on them. There are...a lot of things the police aren't really able to crack down on in Crossbell. It's frustrating.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah...sorry, I'm not exactly well versed on Crossbell politics. I bet our friend Machias would know, he went to the political academy in Heimdallr.

Jeez, that sounds really frustrating. And I can't really see it improving anytime soon with Erebonia there either.

[cspd]

Well, I imagine they're a little more willing to bring the hammer of the law down on Calvard nationals, at least.

[ The inability to bring any kind of lasting consequence to Calvardian and Erebonian citizens who break the law in Crossbell is an immense frustration. Now it's probably...half a frustration? ]

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, good point. Anything to aggravate Calvard really...

[Which is a terrifying thought all on it's own]

Ugh. I should probably just focus on Dorchacht for right now before I worry myself sick.

[cspd]

Yeah. Sorry, I didn't mean for that to become such a tangent.

[fiddlestick]

No, it's okay! I like learning more about you!

If anything, I kinda wish Erebonia had more police like the SSS. Law enforcement in our country is pretty...um, political.

[cspd]

I think we'd rather all stay out of politics...it just doesn't always work out in practice.

But it's a military thing in Erebonia, isn't it?

[fiddlestick]

Aha, somehow that doesn't surprise me.

Yeah, that's right. And which army or agency runs the law enforcement depends on the region you're in. So Heimdallr's managed by Imperial soldiers, the provinces have the provincial armies run by the Dukes, and anywhere with a railroad might have the Railway Military Police show up.

Unfortunately, they tend to just follow the will of whoever commands them. So if you're in an area where their commander doesn't see their civilians well-being as a high priority... it can get pretty bad.

[Understatement there, just a little]

[cspd]

That's what, four provinces? Six different forces to coordinate between?

What a nightmare.

[fiddlestick]

More actually, once you account for the different military branches and the regions with lords that rule more independently from their dukes...

Yeah, it's a headache to say the least.
