Name of Nation: The Oculi of Mercier Territories: They are thought to have a base in every continent, even Antarctica. Government Type: The Oculi are a terrorist/freedom fighters' association operating on political, military and economical levels. They are run by 'Senators' on each continent. There is a larger authority, but he, she or it is only known as Cerberus, and is extremely evasive. Military: Oculus operates by pulling off terrorist attacks on countries. They operate in small cells of trained soldiers that faithfully carry out their given tasks. Economy: The Oculi are known to operate banks over the world, which finances their corporation. They have officials in companies and governments, who have been known to embezzle from their superiors. They trade in black market goods, cheaper than most official companies are willing to trade. The Oculi will donate to causes and governments who they support, and embargo those they disapprove of. Foreign Policy: The Oculi will approach governments and offer to ally with them, provided that they abide by the Oculus Constitution. They will attack countries that they believe are in violation of this constitution. History: The Oculi formed in the aftermath of WWIII, when countries collapsed to anarchism and chaos. The several despotic governments that formed in its place pushed people in all walks of life to form an organization dedicated to restoring democracy and human rights. It was begun by Jean-Baptiste Mercier, who was the UN Secretary General at the time. The group was originally called the Restoration of Human Rights, and was primarily focused in France and the USA. Their goal was to impose the Oculus Constitution, which resembled a combination of the United States Constitution and all of the declarations made by the combined Geneva Conventions. Mercier had initial success with large revolts in France to implement this Oculus Constitution, and even forced the infamous Parisian Despot Hugo Bresson (Often called the second coming of Robespierre) to sign over his rulership in favor of a republic governed by the Oculus Constitution. Mercier and his group became famous worldwide, but it was not long before despots around the world began to take notice. The Dictator of Italy, Lucia Dioli, aided in Hugo Bresson's return to France, while Mercier was staying in Paris. Bresson and Dioli's soldiers seized Jean-Baptiste Mercier and executed him, and Bresson took power again. Other officials with the Restoration of Human Rights were hunted down and executed in France and Italy. Rather than accept defeat, the remaining members radicalized. An unknown person took control of the group in Mercier's absence, and turned them into a terrorist organization. They turned their focus around the constitution, and began to be known as "Oculus", or "The Oculi of Mercier" in honor of their fallen founder. Within the year, Hugo Bresson was killed in a car bombing and Lucia Dioli was strangled to death by one of her own bodyguards, an undercover member of The Oculi. Lucia Dioli died seven months ago. Ever since then, The Oculi have been growing in power and prestige as more flock to the idea that only violence will return the rights people had before WWIII. Foes: Dictators and violators of the Oculus Convention (Geneva Convention recognized human rights, American Constitution recognized freedoms) Demographics: They have around 100 cells of strike team soldiers, who are a multinational force of WW3 veterans, mercenaries, and even former criminals. They have thousands of associates, spies, officials and operatives spread out over the world. Other: The Oculi announced it would only disband when every country can claim to have an elected ruler that respects human rights and is not a threat to the welfare of the Earth.
