DRM

The Di Ravello Militia (D.R.M.) was the de facto police force of the Republic of Medici under the rule of General Sebastiano Di Ravello. However, they were little more than thugs wearing ski masks, and they took over all of the former police stations. In 2015, they were dissolved after the overthrow of Di Ravello and Rosa Manuela's accession to the presidency of a democratic Medici.

History[]

General Sebastiano Di Ravello, a violent and insane military strongman in Medici, seized power after the death of President Dante at the same time as elections and a rebellion, and he declared martial law. Di Ravello skipped over the planned elections and seized power for himself, forming the intensely-loyal Di Ravello Militia as a makeshift police force. They were average citizens who were believers in Di Ravello's cult of personality, wearing ski masks with red stripes and red uniforms while dual-wielding handguns or sub-machine guns. The DRM was used to suppress insurrections in the towns and cities, and they were known for their brutality and fanaticism. Rico Rodriguez and the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States arrived on Medici in 2015 to support an uprising on the island, and Rodriguez took over the police stations and towns/cities from the DRM in a series of attacks. The DRM was disbanded after democracy was restored to Medici under Rosa Manuela after Di Ravello's death.
