PSO's

PSO's (Political Surveillance Organizations) came around during the Maynard Era, a time preceding the death of Rose Crown holder Julien Maynard. Maynard's predecessor, C. Jennings Hess, set forth a political drought in North, South, and Central America, instituting a process called Singular Orient Politics, allowing regional sectors to govern themselves. These sectors broke free from Rose Crown restraints and began to split into the modern counties we know today, setting the groundwork for Miliband-Era county based regions. Maynard picked up where Hess left off, working quickly in an attempt to glue back together these broken city-states. Installing a new process called Multi Orient Politics, Maynard grouped together political borders based on landmass. Right after the Salzman v. Murbergg trial of 1944, Maynard capitalized on Multi Orient Politics, finding it not only geopolitically simple, but as a conservative Crown holder, Maynard grouped with Australian, German, and Sudanese wealth to generate profits off of private industrial sectors. Angry with his lack of concern to the workers, laborers unionized to topple Multi Orient Businesses such as Percap, Wexon, and O'Therian Oil. Immediately laying off the "troublesome workers," many big businesses found themselves in a position in which their anthill collapsed into a sinkhole. All three companies fell through, and the economy plummeted.

To recover from the massive anvil dropped on the world, Maynard called in the CEOs of several global corporations. Passing recovery bills to families affected, the group worked in secret on a total security project to keep all business collectives in check, and to dramatically inflate the power over the masses by the holder of the Crown and the business insiders. The board of PSOs was developed, and in its prime, there were 35 identifiable government-funded PSOs. One of the main PSOs in development was Arco, a company to focus on the control of literature and media. Around 1947, a conglomerate of brute-forced based PSOs tried to buy out Arco, swelling into the problem they were created to eliminate. Maynard passed the Kloman Clause, limiting the number of PSOs to just seven.

Eventually, the seven PSO's merged to just three. These three were known as "The Family-" IXM Syndicate, Sinecorp, and Arco.

Geopolitical Separations in PSOs
Following the Samuel Heardy Arco litigation in 1949, Arco was subsequently terminated and all their archives moved to IXM Syndicate. This is why Sinecorp's headquarters remain in England, but they are a Trimerican organization.

Serving Australia, Europe, Asia, and strangely Antarctica, IXM Syndicate serves to be the largest PSO there is to date.

The fusion of all the Americas as well as Iceland and greenland occurred in 1950 as a result of Maynard's Multi Orient Collaboration initiative. Fully separating the world by Eastern and Western hemispheres, Maynard had successfully edited the entire geopolitical scheme of the world, and had been the first, and so far only Crown holder to do so. The fusion of these landmasses is known as the "American Union" since its creation. If you are from this area, you are known as "Genasic," because of the combination of first letters of the countries and continents involved.

PSO Influence
PSO's have daily influence, from media consumption, to consumer culture, to schooling, to townships. Although initially meant to be supervised by the Crown holder, that document was somehow disregarded and effectively nulled by a Clause in the 8th article of the Geopolitical Cultural Base.

Since their creation, the two PSOs have completely different standards and methods of use. IXM Syndicate is force-based, using the Equalizer Solution to track down the group or person who has broken national or classified IXM protocol and use violence, torture, or the Serum to deter the person from their actions, or simply to kill them to prevent further infiltration. IXM cares less about material conformity, and more about behavioral standards. Rather than support Sinecorp, as the PSOs were created to do, the two PSOs have a rivalry that can be seen outward and inward. All folks in IXM guarded areas know the ins and outs to IXM- they are not a secret organization about their methods- but their inner rings and influence on the Crown holder are unknown by almost everyone.

Sinecorp, however, has very different methods. Their philosophy is Institutional Reeducation, a process in which folks standing out from the crowd to have endorsed IXM or to have strayed from Sinecorp's process are taken to their Central Idie facility to undergo "human editing" in the hopes they will generate a "perfect product." Sinecorp also uses brainwashing tactics on children and sensory deprivation pools with chemically-laced air to alter cerbral input by the sounds emitted into the pool room. Jacob Cross recalls this experience, calling them the "dead man's bath." As a result of his memory, Jacob Cross was located by Sinecorp officials and was euthanized at their facility. His family and friends were drugged and their memory of him was wiped by a process called "Index Removal," in which a person's brain is altered to protect the workings of Sinecorp from the public. The people are located by Eyedentifiers, a technology using high-resolution images of people's eyes to track them throughout their lifes. SInecorp has a profile on all the people within the American Union, and over 8 million cameras throughout their territory. As opposed to IXM Syndicate, Sinecorp is objectively the scarier of the two.

Partner Companies
Sinecorp also has partner companies, known as Serenol, Polynol, Viacorp, and Adasa. As a result of Sinecorp's incredible well-hidden identity, Sinecorp is a well-liked "community" to the public, seen as a friendly superconglomerate of agencies. Accepting hundreds of interns per year to each facility, Sinecorp provides census jobs, testing jobs, and many others upon which they run hidden tests on to see who would be a good candidate to actually invite into the company. This process is very intense, and they must select only the most dedicated worker. The other workers who enter the Sinecorp higher-ups are family of those already in. These people are only allowed to marry within Sinecorp, if they plan to. Most folks hate the idea so much, they get fellow members to conduct brainwashes on them to warm them up to the idea. The others that are not considered do not get promoted, and remain with Sinecorp under the guise of a friendly job so they can do the tedious work for the "real members." If a member is ever, ever taken under suspicion, they will be immediately sent to re-education. Folks do know what that entails, but they only think it is an actual education program. Those who make it out do not remember what they went through other than the edited "script" inside their brain to spew positive affirmations of the group.
