Secret police

From Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic Official Wiki

Background

Secret police (or political police) are intelligence, security or police agencies that engage in covert operations against a government's political, religious, or social opponents and dissidents. Secret police organizations are characteristic of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes.They protect the political power of a dictator or regime and often operate outside the law to repress dissidents and weaken political opposition, frequently using violence.

In the course of political debate in democratic countries, intelligence and police organizations active in these countries (for example, the FBI) are sometimes accused of being secret police, a charge they usually deny.

Gameplay

Main article: Crime and Justice

To get to know how loyal your citizens are to the government, you have to spy on them. This is a task for the Secret police. You will need them to investigate citizens as their loyalty will be hidden and if it is hidden you may think they are loyal but, they are not and they may be allowed to work in your education and broadcasting facilities negatively affecting the loyalty of those listening to them.

The secret police building is where only the highly educated citizens can work. They will have duty vehicles assigned to them which look like personal cars but are assigned to the secret police building. This allows the secret police to travel undercover to residential areas and install spy equipment into citizens homes to gather loyalty information on the people living there.
