## **Ministry of Internal affairs**

There are speculations suggesting that the establishment of the Internal Affairs by The Merchants LTD took place sometime during the early 1970s. This strategic move was implemented to institute a system of oversight and safeguard against the possibility of self-destruction as The Merchants continued to expand its operations. First starting off as very small force of investigators and internal security specialists. The Internal Affairs department received and addressed customer complaints regarding fraudulent activities and misconduct. In addition, the department actively collaborated with divisionless merchants to combat hazardous mafias and law enforcement entities, effectively serving as an external force. It is widely recognized that the Internal Affairs had remained concealed for several years; however, by 1978, multiple Merchants became aware of their existence. These Merchants conveyed that their counterparts engaged in misbehavior for amusement, often disappearing without a trace just a few days later.

Despite being present since the early days of the establishment of the Merchants organization, the Internal Affairs department has never been officially acknowledged in any written records or public speeches. Any attempt to bring up the existence of Internal Affairs to the Council or the two Founders has consistently been met with outright dismissal, with both parties choosing to brush it off as mere rumors. The entrance process of the Internal Affairs has remained shrouded in mystery since its inception. While there are multiple rumors surrounding the selection process, none have been substantiated. Some speculate that it is a handpicked selection, while others suggest that there is a formal application and testing procedure. However, the exact method of entry remains undisclosed.

Throughout its history, the Internal Affairs has been known for its brutal tactics in carrying out its responsibilities. These methods were primarily employed during the civil war to eliminate potential informants and traitors. Functioning as a death squad, the Internal Affairs would track down informants and ruthlessly open fire on them before swiftly retreating from the scene. During the aftermath of the civil war, the Internal Affairs remained just as ruthless, convinced that certain individuals working for the Merchants had maintained their positions as informants. In order to root out these suspected informants, they resorted to abductions and shootings. Consequently, all Merchants fell under the watchful eye of the Internal Affairs, leading to a pervasive sense of paranoia. The Internal Affairs faced backlash for wrongly accusing innocent individuals within the business, thus casting doubt on their legitimacy. Surprisingly, despite the criticism, the existence of the Internal Affairs, an alleged entity, was completely disregarded.

The Internal Affairs in different dimensions were characterized as reckless individuals who resort to any means necessary to achieve their objectives. They engaged in multiple incidents of arson and shooting, targeting individuals believed to be affiliated with the mafia across the dimensions where the Merchants operated. Numerous incidents of abductions and disappearances involving mafia members were reported throughout these dimensions. It is worth noting that the Internal Affairs harbored a strong animosity towards the mafia, which stemmed from previous volatile encounters. They consistently upheld an unwavering anti-mafia stance. The Internal Affairs was often characterized as a relatively independent entity, typically functioning autonomously and striving to limit contact with individuals outside their circle of agents. However, in 1994, there were observations of Internal Affairs personnel exploring the communication buildings and Headquarters of Merchants. This unusual behavior was attributed to the aftermath of the civil war. It has been reported that individuals, when inquired about their profession, declined to respond and swiftly departed from the gathering, without disclosing any details.

In 1985, the Internal Affairs department took stringent measures to combat fraudulent activities. Subsequently, two female Merchants located in the Pitch Merchants communication building reported multiple encounters with individuals suspected to be Internal Affairs agents. It was observed that these potential agents deliberately avoided direct contact with the girls' cameras and promptly continued on their way.
