[QUOTE="1500run, post: 3351544, member: 49969"] true, italy was not as good as could be. if you want a true oppressive state, and are concerned about the trains running on time, look to the former USSR. you could literally set your watch by the moscow subway. it was an important fact for anyone in the intel biz. oh, to the OP: for a society that oppresses its people, you're dead on with the one poster who said to have at least 1/3 of the populace in the pay of the govt. add to that a massive civil works program, an omnipresent security force, and a strong borders guard. make something like the KGB, with its numerous directives: one for internal security, another directive for the foreign branch, one for border patrol, one to patrol itself, one to oversee the military, one to oversee the arcanists, another that controls the actions of the priesthood, and so forth. as a GM, never underestimate the power of paranoia. make it pervasive. the computer is your friend.
