Dricomkan

Dricomkan are organised criminal organisations in Geurighaven commonly know for their drug trafficking, extortion and racketing. They mainly makes up of outcasts in Geurighaven societies. 
== History ==
The Dricomkan are formed in the mid 1700s following the arrival of the Dutch. At that time, the government of Geurighaven was incredibly corrupt and the king was incompetent. The Dutch were given a large amount of land in the Geurighaven countryside which upset many farmers. They banded together into Dricomkan to fend off the foreigners. The Dricomkan continued after the complete seizure of the country and later into Curosconian rule. 
In the later part of Curosconian rule, the colonial police force shrink in size due to the empire's diminishing power which allowed the Dricomkans to grow rapidly. During the Geurighaven Emergency, many Dricomkans supported the communists. The Dricomkans continued to grow after Geurighaven independence and often have cooperated with police force to fight crimes outside of their organisations which made the police to turn a blind eyes on them.  
By the mid 1970s, they have largely consolidated into three large Dricomkans, Zouji kan, Zhengmin kan and Choufang kan. Gang wars occurs between them. 
Apart from illegal activities, they have also invested into legitimate businesses and showbiz. Many actors and directors have connections with Dricomkans. They also invested in stocks of multiple companies across the country, the largest of which was the Geurighaven Railway which they once owned shares of up to 245 million Geurighaven Gulden. They also funded nationalist political parties and paramilitaries in the country. It was also believed that they have a significant influence over the government as well. 
While the Dricomkans continued to grow in power, their gang wars have became more and more violent but the police have continued to turn a blind eye even after civilians were injured in multiple attacks. In 1980, a newly appointed police commissioner, Yang Lamqing took over the police and promised efforts to crackdown. However, he was murdered by Dricomkan members on the 12 February 1982 and his killers are still not found. Protest against the Dricomkans began to pressure the government to crackdown on the Dricomkans. 
Later that year, the government passed the Act Against Unlawful Criminal Gang Groups which made the activities made by the Dricomkans much more difficult to conduct and placed enforcements against the Dricomkans. In 2008, The Geurighaven Stock Market have also conducted reviews of companies and companies with connections with Dricomkans were expelled. 
The power and infleunce Dricomkan once had has been largely diminished due to the crackdowns on them by various governments since. 
== Legacy ==
The Dricomkans have left a significant legacy behind in Geurighaven culture. For instance, many Dricomkans has tattoos on their body and those with tattoos have a far less chance of getting a job as they are suspected to be a member of the Dricomkans.
