RUMP

The Republican Union Military Police (RUMP) was the militarized national police force of the Republican Union. They were created in 1841 to counter the rising levels of civil unrest and gang warfare occuring in major cities during Charles Goodyear's Industrial Revolution. As part of its day-to-day operations, its members acted as beat cops and highly-trained special law enforcement units. During times of grave national emergency, they deployed as infantry units, acting as a national guard. Upon the formation of the New United States of America, RUMP was dissolved and reformed as the National Police Force (NPF) and the National Guard. They could be seen as a continuation of the legacy of the Minutemen of the American War for Independence. Their symbol, the All-Reaching Octopus, was a legendary icon of the Republican Union. They were well-known for their abrasive relationship with the Office of Racial and Religious Affairs, who they saw as constantly incroaching on their role as law enforcement.
