## Description

The Florida Department of Anomalies is a secret state agency situated in Florida with about 60,000 employees that commands all departments, organizations, and agencies responsible for dealing with paranormal, abnormal, and anomalous creatures, objects, and locations. It also has power in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, and Arkansas. It has additional control of waters surrounding coastal states. Currently it is in charge of three organizations, one of those organizations being the Florida Paranormal Defense and Control Agency, or FPDCA.

It was created on December 31st, 1963, and they shortly after created the FPDCA, and command and frequently communicate with the FPDCA.

## Objective

The Florida Department of Anomalies was created to command agencies and departments which deal with anomalous and paranormal affairs. It was also created after public found out that anomalous and paranormal things did exist, and since the government could no longer hide it, decided to create an organization to protect the public from these paranormal things. It was proposed to be created by the 34th Governor of Florida, Cecil Farris Bryant, and later formed after the proposal following approval by the legislative branch.

## History

Proposed and created by Cecil Farris Bryant on December 31st, 1963, the department drafted all members of secret organizations to work for the state of Florida under the Florida Department of Anomalies. This added up to about 150 people. The government later created the Florida Paranormal Defense and Control Agency, or FPDCA, and divided the people into different areas of work.

After dividing the group based on their professions and skills, the FPDCA began running. The governor appointed the most skilled one of them all as the commander of the Florida Department of Anomalies. All organizations were commanded to report to the Florida Department of Anomalies to catalog anomalies they have found. The organization was completed on January 31st, 1964.

Two months later, the first anomaly was documented by the FPDCA, called the Tree Hugger, or Tree Huggers for plural. It was appointed as Anomaly 1 and is still being researched to this day.

Eventually, in 1975, the 37th governor of Florida, Reubin Askew requested a meeting with the president, Gerald Ford, and asked for permission to extend the powers of the Florida Department of Anomalies to the rest of southeast United States, which he defined as Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. He also included Kentucky, Maryland, and Arkansas to expand the power even more. The president agreed, and this allowed the Florida Department of Anomalies to officially investigate, research, and catalog anomalies outside of Florida. He later met again to negotiate whether the organization may also have power to investigate the waters surrounding coastal states. This was also granted. An additional power granted was that people in those states may also be drafted to work for the Florida Department of Anomalies. To this day, this is the extent of US control the Florida Department of Anomalies has.

By 1998, the commander of the Florida Department of Anomalies held meetings with Mexico's president, the Bahamas' president, and other Caribbean leaders. This was big, since it was the first time the agency established international ties. The conclusion of these meetings allowed the Florida Department of Anomalies to receive reports of anomalous creatures found in the waters around these countries. Further negotiation with Mexico (and partially Cuba) allowed the Florida Department of Anomalies to have control to investigate and research anomalies found in the Gulf of Mexico, a huge leap for the agency, since it allowed them to be recognized by other international agencies and organizations. Now the agency can research more water than they have ever been able to before.

Over the years, the departments searched and documented many objects, creatures, and locations. They discovered many groups and worked with other organizations. Insurgent organizations popped up, and some are still dealt with today.

The organization still exists to this day, and has about 60,000 personnel, and has many anomalies documented in their files.

## Outside Connections

The Florida Department of Anomalies has connections with Mexico, where the government sends reports of anomalies in the Gulf of Mexico to them. They also have connections with the Bahamas, and a couple other Caribbean countries. They also have connections with international organizations, such as the International Association of Anomalous Findings (IAAF), where they share and discuss their findings and research. The organization also has connections with civil and secret organizations who work in the United States that also document anomalous creatures. The organization has also faced many insurgent and criminal organizations, like The Truth of Florida, which attempt to reveal confidential information held by the Florida Department of Anomalies. Their relationship with these organizations is indefinitely terrible.

The Florida Paranormal Defense and Control Agency holds many anomalies and locations, whether on land, in the air, or at sea. They research these anomalies and visit these locations frequently and attempt to find more.

## Interactions

The Florida Department of Anomalies commands the FPDCA and requires that they catalog and document any anomalies and locations that they find.
