Empire Bay Uprising

In the countryside near Empire Bay, c. 1987

### Combatants

Italian Mafia, Opfor, Various private militaries, Empire Bay Bombers, Empire Bay Triads, O'Neill Gang, various militia groups

### Outcome

Invader force defeated, Empire Bay factions still at war

### Motive

Soviet invasion, gangland politics

The Empire Bay Uprising refers to the ignition of several large and interconnected violent conflicts within Empire Bay in 1987, including the war between the various criminal factions and the invasion of a Soviet Union terrorist organization called "Opfor."

## History

The seeds were planted for the Empire Bay Uprising in 1986, when the O'Neill Gang and police under their payroll were involved in a gunfight with the Italian Mafia. Joe Barbaro, a mafia member who was a combatant in the gunfight, was injured but eventually recovered. This caused tensions to rise between the Italian Mafia and the O'Neill Gang.

## Gang Conflicts

Sometime in early-1987, members of the Italian Mafia were involved in a gunfight with members of the Empire Bay Bombers. This led to the conflict between the two.

## Opfor Invasion

In early-1987, members of the Soviet Union terrorist group called Opfor began an invasion of Empire Bay using the Culver River as the starting point. Sleeper agents had infiltrated the Empire Bay Police Department in the months before this. Opfor members raided the Empire Bay Police Department headquarters, and mobilized across the city using police equipment.

Most Empire Bay police officers fought back against Opfor, and ended up joining militia organizations to take the city back.

In mid-1987, Opfor mad multiple attempts to destroy the Grand Upper Bridge with explosives, which would have destroyed the the most significant roadway for the war, severing the direct link between Hunters Point and Uptown.

## Effect on Civilians

Most civilians retaliated to the Opfor invasion by forming various militia groups.

A few months into the conflict, by mid-1987, Opfor had cut the supply lines to the city, leaving many civilians starved. Jeff Tyler was one civilian who personally testified to malnourishment in Opfor-controlled territories.

## Arnhem

For most of their existence in Empire Bay, Opfor operated a P.O.W. camp named "Arnhem." It was located in what was then-formerly known as the Hartmann Correctional Facility, that Opfor raided and took over. Terrence Stone, who was the warden of the correctional facility, was brainwashed into speaking Russian and was made a formal ambassador of the Soviet Union.
Mohammad Alnajar

A photo of Mohammad Alnajar, location unknown but presumed to be Pakistan

Mohammad Alnajar was a Pakistan-born perpetrator of the Saint Januarius Cathedral Massacre. He was the only publicly identified member behind the attack. He was apparently working for Death to Adrionis, due to his chants in allegiance to them and their claiming of the attack afterwards. Whether he was an official member or not is still unknown.

A press briefing from the Adrionian Ministry of Intelligence says that Mohammad Alnajar was a citizen of Pakistan living temporarily in Adrionis on a work visa. Many details of his life were omitted from official reports, them being touted as "irrelevant" by investigators. Information related to Mohammad Alnajar accessible on websites based within Adrionis were taken down within a week of the attack.

The Pakistani government denied any involvement in the attack, and an apology was issued by Shah Mahmood Qureshi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan.
John Strattonato

Photo of John Strattonato, c. 2021

John Strattonato is an American gangster and former boss of the Ferrone crime family. He took the position in 2012, following the death of Carmine Ferrone, Jr., and lost it in 2021 following his attempted assassination that left him paralyzed.

Strattonato was involved with the Ferrone Crime Family since the late-1970s, and was supposedly in charge of a lot of the Ferrone's drug crimes. He was also one of the men who vouched for Frank Cabrese to be brought into the family. John Strattonato's underboss was lifelong friend Frank Tacito.

John Strattonato currently lives in North Caldwell, New Jersey.

On November 1, 2021 it was revealed by an FBI leak that Vincent-Dante Ragusa of the Torelli crime family's Shoreside Crew faction was responsible for orchestrating the failed hit on John. As to why is unclear. It was confirmed when the Ferrone crime family attacked and paralyzed Pennsylvania faction leader Walt Sanna, who was replaced by John de Luca. According to some sources, Frank Cabrese and Salvatore Molinari carried out the attack. Sanna later died in the hospital on November 4.

## Attempted Assassination

On October 10, 2021 John Strattonato was shot twice in the head by DaShawn Burgess, a known associate of the Torelli crime family, and is currently in the hospital. He was attending a rally for the Italian American Cultural Association, orchestrated by James DeFranco.

Speculation and rumor suggests the orchestraters of the attack could have been the Shoreside Crew, led by Vincent-Dante "Slim" Ragusa.
Adrionian Police Funding Cuts

A police station set on fire

Adrionian Police Funding Cuts refers to the gradual cut in spending for various interior police forces within Adrionis, including metropolitan police forces and national investigative entities, starting in September, 2020. This is due to protests against Adrionian police, inspired by anti-police protests in the United States of America due to the death of George Floyd.

King Xavier Sovrano Cisco publicly stated that the police strikes and funding cuts were "not wanted, but clearly needed."

The Adrionian Police Funding Cuts led to the Adrionian Police Strike, a major walkout where the majority of Adrionian police officers and interior-defense personnel either resigned or didn't show up for work.

Due to the loss of most of Adrionis' internal police force, King Xavier Sovrano Cisco installed the new Adrionian National Police (NatPol), a paramilitary internal defense force. The Labor Party supported the change from an "outdated" and "violent" system of policing to the new National Police.
Culver River Commission

Empire Bay on the Culver River

The Culver River Commission is a de facto subset of The Commission - the governing body of the American mafia.

The Culver River Commission consists of leading members of Italian mafia families along the Culver River, and occasionally, ones associated with said families.

These include:

* *Vinci Crime Family*
* *Falcone Crime Family*
* *Clemente Crime Family*
* *Maglia Crime Family*

Most of the power of the Culver River Commission is situated in Empire Bay, which is dominated by the Vinci crime family. The other major city, Birkland, is controlled by the Maglia crime family.

## History

Prior to the establishment of The Commission by Charles Luciano in 1931, regional diplomacy among mafia families was consolidated in a very exclusive way. The Empire Bay Commission was founded in the 1920s as an organization of diplomacy exclusive to Empire Bay for the ruling Italian criminal organizations at the time - Moretti and Vinci.

In the 1930s, after the Vinci-Moretti war, the establishment of the Falcone family in its wake, and the growth of the Clemente crime family, the Empire Bay Commission began to recognize activity in cities along the Culver River, and thus became known as the Culver River Commission. This also came at the time of Charles Luciano's establishment of The Commission, in which the Culver River families were partially recognized. In the following years, they grew in legitimacy among powerful figureheads in New York.

Draconis Civil Police

Police trucks on the outskirts of Eastern District, Draconis, c. 2020

The Draconis Civil Police is the civil police force of Draconis, Adrionis.

Following King Cisco's nationwide defunding of police in 2020 in response to the George Floyd protests, the Draconis Civil Police force fell from 2,000 active units to 231. This meant that crime rose in Draconis, even preceeding the Siege of Draconis by the Federation of Western Subtopia, which increased crime ten-fold.

The Draconis Civil Police is outranked by the newly created National Police, both of which are outranked by the Domestic Military. According to inside sources, the Civil Police have hardly no influence in the Siege of Draconis, besides the task of managing triage units for wounded civilians.

Protocol 907-CN3 is supposedly a highly-classified protocol issued by either the Central Intelligence Agency or DOCS, at an unknown time estimated between 2010 and 2019.

The details of Protocol 907-CN3 are unknown, but what is known is that it works very closely with private military companies and is related to domestic counter-terrorism.

According to several leakers, it was supposedly invoked in 2019 to combat The Maccaviti, a terrorist organization. Blackfleet Corporation was used in this incident, and they acted as a temporary counter-terror force on behalf of the CIA and DOCS.
Napoli-Borowitz Murders

Photos of the victims

Salvatore Iannello (Alleged)

James Torelli (Conspired, not convicted)

The Napoli-Borowitz Murders were two torture homicides committed by the Torelli crime family in January, 1972. The victims include mobster Frank Napoli, and lawyer Walter Borowitz. The murders were allegedly comitted by Francis Buonocore and Salvatore Iannello, on the orders of James Torelli.

## History

Frank Napoli met Walter Borowitz in 1970.

In late-1970, Frank Napoli invested approximately $100,000 in an illegal casino racket run by the Jewish Mafia in northern New Jersey, alongside lawyer Walter Borowitz, who vouched for the racket's stability. When the racket was torn apart by federal authorities, Napoli and Borowitz turned to James Torelli for a loan of approximately $60,000. They received the loan with a 25% interest rate.

Over the course of 1971, Napoli failed to make payments to Torelli, who eventually staged a mock execution on Napoli, but eventually lowered the interest rate to around 15%.

In January 1972, Napoli refused to make any more payments and went into hiding. On January 10, Borowitz was called to lunch with several members of the Jewish Mafia, who supposedly beat Borowitz unconscious in an alleyway in Manhattan, New York, before eventually transporting him in the back of a car to a warehouse in East Harlem.

Napoli was spotted by a Torelli associate in the Lower East Side on January 11. According to sources close to his murder, he was forced into a car and taken to the same warehouse in East Harlem. It is unknown if Borowitz was alive at the time of Napoli's arrival.

Napoli was tortured and killed by January 13. It is believed the same was done to Borowitz.

Napoli was found dead in the trunk of a car on the bank of the East River in New York, on January 13. His tongue had been removed, and coins were stuffed in his mouth. Several of his bones were broken, his anal cavity was scarred with what appeared to be a meat hook, and he suffered internal bleeding premortem.

The body of Walter Borowitz was never recovered, but investigators theorize pieces of him were deposited in landfills across New York City and Newark.

Several reliable informants from East Harlem claimed the perpetrators behind his death were Francis Buonocore and Salvatore Iannello.
Carmine Ferrone, Jr.

Photo of Carmine Ferrone, Jr. in Manhattan, c. 1984

Carmine Ferrone, Jr. was a mobster and the leader of the Ferrone crime family in New York. He led the family from his father's death in 1983, until Ferrone, Jr.'s assassination in 2012.

Popular in the mid-1980s as a yuppie who had connections to IBM, Ferrone stayed away from press coverage of his criminal activities as much as possible.

## Death

On April 9, 2012, Carmine Ferrone, Jr. and his wife, Bella were found dead in his car in an underpass of the McCarter Highway in Newark, New Jersey. Both of them had been shot over 10 times with a small-caliber firearm. The official investigation by the FBI turned up little evidence, but Richard Colombo, a Newark teenager suffering from various mental problems, was later found dead on the side of a road in Perth Amboy in August 2014. Investigators determined that Richard Colombo possessed the firearm used to kill Carmine and Bella, and that the murder of Richard was probably in retaliation.

John Strattonato took over operations of the Ferrone crime family directly after the death of Carmine. He currently lives in North Caldwell, New Jersey.
Nueva Sierra

## Flag

Flag of Nueva Sierra

The Protectorate of Nueva Sierra is a protectorate state of the Kingdom of Adrionis.

An ethnic melting pot, Nueva Sierra has been heavily influenced since the 15th century by a variety of different cultures, including Italian, Spanish, French and Adrionian. Used and abused each time, its population has been raped by foreign states harvesting the natural resources of Nueva Sierra without proper compensation to the people who were born there.

Recently, United Nations investigations into the quality of life in Nueva Sierra has shown that the Adrionian rule there, which is relatively recent, has essentially morphed the population into a state of slavery and living equivalent to "that of the middle ages." The nation generates billions of dollars in export revenue for Adrionis, barely any of which is being put into the pockets of Nueva Sierrans.

Recently, the Communist Party of Nueva Sierra has gained international attention in their fight for national independence and welfare for their citizens. The party is led by Raul Ponce.

## Geography

Nueva Sierra consists of a large island of the same name, and several hundred smaller satellite islands. The main island has a heavily tropical climate, with lush jungles and forested mountainous terrains rich with natural resources. Common exports include tobacco, sugar, gold and bananas. Unofficial exports include cocaine and prostitutes.

## Civil Rights Abuses

According to civil rights analysts from the United Nations, Nueva Sierra is the victim of innumerable cases of civil rights abuses. These include mass genocide of dissidents and ethnic minorities, state subsidized sex rings involving children, state subsidized drug trade and cooperation with Cartel Del Golfo and internment camps for brainwashing. State racism, sexism and religious persecution supposedly runs rampant in Nueva Sierra as well.

These reports came about in 2021 due to incitement from the national outcry of Communist Party supporters. These came after years of supposed reports of civil rights abuses that went unnoticed by national bodies.
Siege of Draconis

Explosion of building in Draconis, c. February 2019

The Siege of Draconis is an ongoing event in and around the Adrionian capital of Draconis, near the southeastern quad-national border. Military forces from the Federation of Western Subtopia are attempting to blockade the area around Draconis. Military activity from the Federation of Western Subtopia also includes bombing Draconis via aircraft, as well as shelling Draconis with artillery. Although Western Subtopia is attempting to only target Adrionian military installations, heavy civilian casualties and other collateral damage is expected. Currently, the brunt of the fighting and unrest is in the Eastern District, which is one of the poorer districts of Draconis.

Many political analysts suggest this could be the start of a planned Western Subtopian invasion of Adrionis.

## Adrionian Response

Following the start of the siege, King Xavier Sovrano Cisco was evacuated to an unknown location. King's Hall was also evacuated. Civilians have begun to attack local police and other government authorities, and crime is increasing as police activity is dropping due to exhaustion.

Adrionian domestic military units are currently being deployed to Draconis, and rumors from the front lines suggest that dissident civilians are being targeted and killed, though this hasn't been confirmed yet.

There have been reports of clashes between pro-Adrionian and pro-Western Subtopian civilians, the latter being mostly comprised of Muslims who haven't yet fled to Zamanbalad. Warfare between gangs is also increasing.

## Crimes against humanity

Since the beginning of the invasion, numerous reports of Adrionian crimes against humanity have surfaced, mostly from the Eastern District. These reports indicate a secret systematic targeting of civilians by the quadfecta of primary active Adrionian forces in besieged Draconis - Civil Police, National Police, Kilamahali, and Domestic Military. Reported crimes include racial and religious beleaguerment, genocide of civilians, rape, forced feeding, and wartime extortion. Most of the reports point toward the newly created National Police, which is comprised of uneducated ex-convicts. Reports of forced disappearances of suspected Islamists were reportedly conducted by the Kilamahali, Adrionis' secret police force. The Domestic Military is supposedly responsible for summary executions of dissidents and Islamists. The heavily defunded Civil Police is supposedly responsible for extorting sex out of lower-class females in exchange for wartime rations.

Sam "The Lush" Lusciano was a hitman and pimp for the North Jersey faction of the Torelli crime family.

Known for his cynical and ruthless attitude, he was a force to be reckoned with among the criminals of North Jersey. He operated a strip club in Perth Amboy, as well as several porn stores and prostitution rings. He was also a hitman, supposedly responsible for around 12 murders.

Starting his career in the mid-1960s, Lusciano became a trusted member of the gang and a personal friend of James Torelli by the mid-1970s. In 1979, Lusciano was indicted with operating an illegal prostitution ring in Manhattan and conspiracy to commit murder, though he was only convicted in 1980 of the first charge. He served time in FCI Allenwood, in Pennsylvania until 1987, when he was paroled.

## Death

In December 2004, Sam Lusciano disappeared.

Later that month, a human arm was found in a landfill in western Pennsylvania. An investigation was launched, and forensic investigation concluded the arm belonged to Sam Lusciano, who was one of the FBI's primary murder victim suspects for that area.

Investigators attempted to locate other body parts and find more evidence that would point them to the killer, but their efforts failed. As of yet, the cause of death or murderer is unknown.

Moskochevian Justice Hour

Execution of criminals by Moskochevian military

The Moskochevian Justice Hour was a national television program where the often brutal executions of Moskochevian criminals are broadcast to the public. It was created by Nikolai Kalinov. Sometimes, citizens can vote on different execution methods, and beheading is a popular choice. Sometimes, Moskochev purposefully executes non-whites and females, and Moskochev uses their racial and gender difference to promote white-supremacy and male-supremacy. **Every** citizen who is awaiting execution **must** have their executions broadcast, so many citizens die of hunger or sexually transmitted diseases while awaiting their execution in a dank holding cell. Many of the prisoners being held beg for execution, and to have a quick death away from the dank cell. Some prisoners and guards have even established gambling operations, with the winnings being a quick execution. Many prisoners commit suicide, or kill each other as a result of hunger-induced insanity.
Junior Carcione

George Floyd

A photo of George Floyd

George Floyd was an American criminal who's death at the hands of police officers prompted the George Floyd protests. The riots spread internationally to Subtopia, which led to the Adrionian Police Funding Cuts, and subsequently, the Adrionian Police Strike and the creation of the Adrionian National Police.
Lisanic Language

The Lisanic Language is a language exclusive to Subtopia, and used primarily in the west. It was supposedly brought and then influenced by migrants from Arabia and parts of southeastern Europe, beginning in approximately 800 AD. The Lisanic Language has been slowly replaced by English in much of developed Subtopia, but large parts of Subtopia, especially poverty-ridden areas, still use the language.

The most-used dialect of the Lisanic Language is Sarranidian Lisanic, from southern Adrionis. Sarranidian Lisanic closely resembles dialects of Lisanic spoken in northern Adrionis and other regions of western Subtopia.

Romanticized Lisanic uses Roman characters, a trend adopted in the medieval period by migrants fluent with Latin who settled in ancient Subtopia. Romanticized Lisanic is shunned by cultural conservatives from Lisanic-speaking areas, but is encouraged for newcomers who are familiar with English.

When addressing females, Lisanic words end in "u."

When referring to adults in sentences, the prefix for verbs is "ju."

When referring to children in sentences, the prefix for verbs is "ja."

## Basic Lisanic Words (Romanticized)

## The Rocco-Montesino war

In October of 2008, the Alderney-based Rocco Crew went to war against the Montesino family due to turf disputes in northern Algonquin. The Roccos frequently attacked business and civilians in Montesino turf, which sparked massive retaliation from the Montesino family. After a long war, the Roccos were defeated, and their leader, Carmine Rocco, was famously executed atop the Rotterdam tower.

## Early History

The Communist Party of Moskochev was founded on February 8, 1931 by Ivan Nechayev, a college student from Shiroka. A follower of Leninism and of other Moskochevian communists of yesteryear, he gained a large following in Moskochev. The supporters of Nechayev comprised of manual laborers and other underpaid workers who saw his communism as a means of freedom.

From 1931 to late-1934, Nechayev spread his teachings across all of Moskochev, eventually sparking a fierce and violent revolution in Shiroka and the overthrow of the government as it was, known as the Scarlet Night Revolution. The revolutionaries occupied government offices and executed staff and opposition. When the undermanned and underfunded national military (due to their defeat in the War of Sticks) showed up in Shiroka, their garrisons were obliterated by the revolutionaries until the military surrendered.

Moskochev was officially declared a single-party communist state on December 19, 1934. The legitimacy of their government remained debated for several years. International bodies and the press touted them as the "government" being an occupation of imperialist Moskochev. It became official in 1938 when the old constitution was publicly set ablaze and a new one was established.
Dave Cantor

Photo of Dave Cantor, c. 2021

Dave Cantor is an American jazz pianist, comedian and bandleader. He is supposedly connected to the American mafia.

## History

Dave Cantor was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1981. Originally intended by his father to be a lawyer, Dave instead decided to pursue musical comedy in local comedy clubs. His first gig was at a nightclub in 1997. At the age of 16, he was secretly brought in by Bill Maher, whom he met that night in a lucky encounter. His gig was a success, but more people applauded his piano skills than comedy. Chuck Stevens, a popular jazz bandleader in the 1980s was one of the members of the audience, who eventually gave Dave Cantor the role of part-time, backup pianist in his band during high school and college.

The status of the band dwindled throughout the 2000s. Eventually, following Chuck Stevens' retirement, the leadership of the band was passed to Dave Cantor, who was a major success at bandleading. The band was rebranded to the Dave Cantor Quartet, and afterwards became ultra popular in the northeastern United States by the late 2000s. In 2011, Cantor was offered a contract by Cascadia Records. After this, the Quartet's popularity swept the nation and became a major success, particularly on the eastern seaboard.

It was in 2014, following a dispute with Benjamin Hoffman, the president of Cascadia Records, that some federal authorities speculate Dave Cantor became an associate of the American mafia. This is due to rumors that Hoffman, who was threatening to drop Cantor if "better material" wasn't published, was threatened by Tony Fonte of the Russetto crime family. Following this, Cantor began to make more appearances at establishments known to be frequented by mobsters.

Dave Cantor's career did, in fact, evolve in the late 2010s and early 2020s, with Cantor's stage presence becoming more flamboyant and dapper, catering to his aging audience rather than a new crowd. He's also increased collaborations with Paul Angelo.

Quincey Farhod

King Quincey Farhod was the King of Adrionis from 1931 to 1939. Having refused to give up the throne as part of the abdication tradition on account of "the grand prosperity of this nation", King Farhod ruled Adrionis for eight years as one of the most popular kings among the general populace.

King Farhod was supposedly a "big inspiration" during King Vincent Loftenburg's reign.

## History

Born into a family of gypsies that shared an English and Turkish ancestry, Farhod earned his living, prior to becoming king, as a door-to-door salesman of knickknacks. He was also a relatively successful traveling entertainer, frequently seen with tigers and lions.

A man known for his sense of humor and lighthearted take on the world, King Farhod's personality was a much needed morale booster for Adrionis during the Great Depression. However, his flamboyancy proved unpopular towards the peak of the depression. He changed his demeanor and ruled briefly as a stern economic leader, proving that he was a capable king both in and out of crisis.

Pensulitz Conferences

### Parties

Besplovia, Adrionis, Federation of Western Subtopia

### Motives

Besplovia's allegiances relevant to the 2020 Western Subtopian War

The Pensulitz Conferences were talks between Besplovia, Adrionis, and the Federation of Western Subtopia. The talks are attempting to reach the decisions of Besplovia's allegiances in the 2020 Western Subtopian War. The talks were being held at The Republika, Besplovia's government building in Pensulitz, Besplovia.

The outcome of the conferences is that Besplovia joined the Federation of Western Subtopia.

## Western Subtopian Allegiance Outlook

The outlook of the Pensulitz Conferences is that Besplovia chose to ally with the Federation of Western Subtopia to combat against the Holy Kingdom of Adrionis.

If this happens, it is projected that Adrionis will then attempt either a blockade or invasion of Besplovia, with the former being the most likely option, despite the incredible expenses this would bring. Due to the timing of this scenario, it would mean assured starvation of Besplovia in the harsh winters of west-central Subtopia.

A successful blockade could only be achieved through control or cooperation of Besplovian-bordering central Subtopian countries like Velika and Vesarnia.

However, the increased military expenditure of Adrionis would lead to lower performance on the Eastern Front and the Zamanbaladi border. If a gap in the blockade is found, then Besplovia will probably be supplied with Moskochevian-made arms, which would also hurt the military power of Adrionis.

## Alternate Adrionian Allegiance Outlook

The less-popular outlook of the time was that Besplovia would ally with the Holy Kingdom of Adrionis. If that happened, the annexation of Besplovia into Adrionis was assured, and Besplovia would have been made a Catholic state. The religious transition would have been relatively easy, due to the strong Catholic presence in Besplovia.

The annexation of Besplovia would have been incredibly beneficial to Adrionis on a geopolitical scale. Besplovia would have been an incredibly better tactical position for launching campaigns against eastern Moskochev and Diablo Blanca. However, due to the geographic barrier of Moskochev and Diablo Blanca, supplying arms and personnel to Besplovia would have been difficult, and would have required complex logistical planning.
Russetto Crime Family

Albany in the 2010s

The Russetto crime family is a criminal organization active in upstate New York and parts of New York City.

The Russetto crime family is led by Martin Rosa.

## History

The Russetto crime family was founded in the early 1950s by Mario Russetto in Albany, who at the time was notorious for his many gambling rackets. While the Italian-American criminal element he "founded" had existed for years prior, he was the first to unify it as a leader. He did this by taxing local illegal rackets, and destroying/coercing those who refused the tax.

Over the 1960s, the Russettos made many connections with criminal businessmen across upstate New York, with the centers of their activity in Buffalo and Toronto. They had some influence in New York City, but this was through crews who were commonly mistaken as being part of other criminal organizations.

Mario led the family until 1974, when he was killed in a gangland-style murder in Brooklyn, New York. The perpetrator of his murder is unknown, but some believe it to be Newark hitman Frank Rosenburg. The family was thereafter led by Anthony Russetto.

The Russetto family expanded into the drug trade in the early 1980s, but it was met with heavy rivalry from other organizations like the Torelli crime family and the Ferrone crime family in places like North Jersey and New York City. Instead, the Russettos decided to sell in parts of upstate New York and Toronto, and this eventually led to the imprisonment of Anthony Russetto in 1987. He died in prison in 2011.

Martin Rosa became the new boss in 1989, and the family has remained mostly quiet - even through the RICO crusades - ever since.

James DeFranco, a notorious member of the Russetto family and cousin of Torelli member Vincent-Dante Ragusa, was involved in Andrew Cuomo's downfall.
New Leeds

Flag of New Leeds

New Leeds is a state in the United States of America.

New Leeds lies on the east bank of the Culver River. The state's largest city is Scarborough City, a large metropolitan area that includes many smaller neighborhoods. New Leeds is also known for its upstate region.

## History

Much like other Culver River states and cities, New Leeds was established as a trading colony by the Dutch in the late 16th century, with the capital metropolis and the state as a whole under the name New Hague. In 1666, the Dutch-controlled area came under British control. The city was renamed to Scarborough, and the area surrounding was renamed to New Leeds - named after the British town.

New Leeds progressed heavily throughout the remainder of the 17th century and into the 18th. The American Revolution brought about regular contest of the area, with Scarborough left battered after frequent exchanges of power by the end of the war, with the area finally resting in American hands.

In the 19th century, the American Civil War brought more bloodshed to the state. In the decades preceding the war, many factions within the halls of government were torn between support for and against the abolition of slavery, with some more radicals going as far as creating organizations that sought to divide the state in two north-south halves, although this never came to fruition.

New Leeds was popular battleground during the civil war, with its legend solidified in the Siege of Scarborough - a famous military siege spearheaded by Confederate Major Hobart Crawley.

Following the Civil War, the state of New Leeds prospered and grew as a major hub on the Culver River for business in the 20th century. In the 21st century, New Leeds became a hub for internet companies such as Empire Connect.

Francis Buonocore

Mugshot of Francis Buonocore, c. 2013

Francis "Frankie Bones" Buonocore is a criminal, underboss of the Torelli crime family, and the leader of the South Jersey faction of the organization. James Torelli, Jr. is the de facto leader of the South Jersey faction due to him living and operating there.

In 2021, Francis' cousin Phillip Buonocore was arrested in Raritan Township, New Jersey for stealing a Walmart truck, thought to be containing Samsung cellphones.

## Criminal History

Francis Buonocore was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His family moved to Elmer, New Jersey in 1956, where he was raised. Francis Buonocore was first arrested at the age of 12 for selling stolen gasoline. As a teenager, he would work regularly as a doorman for illegal poker games in Elmer, hosted by Tom Giancano, a teamster boss and an associate of James Torelli.

Francis Buonocore would befriend Tom Giancano and work as a truck driver for him, sometimes delivering illegal merchandise and scamming businesses through fake robbery scams. Eventually, Francis Buonocore was introduced to James Torelli at a party and would be given higher tasks due to his effectiveness.

Many believe Francis Buonocore was a perpetrator, alongside Salvatore Iannello, in the 1972 torture and double-homicide of Frank Napoli and Walter Borowitz, whom many also believe to be Francis' initiatory crime into the world of the Torelli crime family. According to witness testimony, Francis Buonocore was "made" later that year.

Francis Buonocore would stay heavily involved with the South Jersey faction, even throughout the 1980s and 1990s, which brought about heat from the federal government due to increased enforcement of RICO statutes.

According to some sources, Francis Buonocore was made the underboss of the South Jersey faction in 1989, under Salvatore "Slip Fish" Mancuso. Following the 1991 assassination of Mancuso by the Ferrone crime family in New York on the orders of James Torelli due to Mancuso providing evidence against Torelli, Francis Buonocore was made the boss of the South Jersey faction.
Shoreside Crew

Venice Beach in 2014

The Shoreside Crew is the primary unit in the Californian Venice Beach faction of the Torelli crime family. The Shoreside Crew is primarily active in Venice Beach, but also has command in the greater Los Angeles area, specifically in Koreatown, Wilshire, Fashion District, and Hollywood. The Shoreside Crew has been active since 2014, and is the child of a previous and unsuccessful criminal outfit tied to the Torelli crime family. The leader of the Shoreside Crew is Vincent-Dante "Slim" Ragusa.

The Shoreside Crew stands out among most outfits of the Torelli crime family in that it employs African-Americans, Koreans, and Mexicans - sometimes in high positions of power. However, according to leakers and publicized testimonies of criminal informants, the Shoreside Crew still carries out traditional ceremonies of acceptance - or being "made" - reserved for individuals who can trace their lineage back to Italy and Sicily.

The supposed current headquarters of the Shoreside Crew is Family Auto on Western Avenue in Koreatown. The headquarters in Venice Beach is rumored to be somewhere on Pacific Avenue.

## Witness Testimonies

A plethora of information regarding the Shoreside Crew and its activities was gained through the testimony of Juan Escalante and Pietro "Pete" DiBernardo, both in 2021.

## ***THE PILL QUADRANT***

The Pill Quadrant is located halfway between Then and Now. I wish there was more to this article, but my calculations based on extrapolations of past events tell me that this article will probably no longer be expanded to a nature more suitable for The Average Joe.

## Enslavement of Logic Embodied

For the majority of the Decentralized Epoch, Pill kept Logic Embodied as a slave. She escaped, but thanks to Breach #400 in the Timespace Continuum, she also is still a slave.
Andrew Cuomo

Photo of Andrew Cuomo, c. 2021

Andrew Cuomo is the former governor of New York, and a former associate of the Russetto crime family.

Following his father's already strong connection to the Cosa Nostra, the Russetto family invested in Andrew Cuomo by raising the votes in the more conservative parts of upstate New York in 2010. This was supposedly at the cost of several hundred thousand dollars that was supposed to be funneled to the Russetto family through Steelhammer Company, a fake road building firm that was supposed to receive contracts once Cuomo got elected. This never happened, however.

In mid-2020, after Cuomo supposedly insulted Russetto member James DeFranco, the mastermind of the Steelhammer scheme, Cuomo sealed his fate.

In 2021, numerous allegations of sexual assault arose against Cuomo, many of these bolstered by the Russetto family through DeFranco, and his inside sources in Albany that knew of Cuomo's activity since the early 2000s.
