People's Security Bureau

The People's Security Bureau (Lo'Oi: Garxá Loklé Léoksa), or the PSB, is the domestic police and intelligence force of the United Socialist States of Eldham. It is considered an apparatus underneath the USSE Commission of Justice and is led by the PSB Director. The current PSB Director is Krakhov.

The PSB is further split into four Directorates. The Directorate of Border Security handles immigration. The Directorate of Internal Security maintains domestic peace, prisons, and criminal watch lists. The Directorate of Labor Management handles incarcerated labor. The Directorate of the Military Police engages in domestic special operations that require violent force.

It operates the single largest prison on Stoneworks in Vostroya and may be the single largest intelligence and police agency in the history of Stoneworks as well. It has numerous headquarters, but it is believed its primary headquarter is located in the large Medtermari city of Andromeda.

History
The People's Security Bureau was founded in by General Secretary Chelovek Serebra.

The PSB operated primarily a police force that brought people to court and prison and as a domestic intelligence agency for much of its history. In March of 2023 some of its operations were expanded including controlling incarcerated labor and being permitted to help with domestic militias.

Around this time period it also began building more headquarters including a gigantic headquarters facility in Andromeda in the State of Medtremar. The city remains almost entirely off-limits and is entirely controlled by the PSB.

Heraldry and vexillology
The arms and heraldry of the PSB follows a rather traditional socialist design. It features a red shield in the center that has a Xeroist star (a symbol featured on the USSE flag) with two crossed cyan Shashkas, the national weapon of the USSE, in the foreground. Above the two symbols is 'ONMZON' which is an acronym for 'Oto Nan Má Zi Oto Nok' which translates to 'Our Party Will Make Us Free' in Lo'Oi. The phrase is the name of the USSE's national anthem and is also a common patriotic slogan.

Around the shield is two bundles of wheat wrapped in red ribbons, at the center of this ribbon is written 'PSB' which stands for the People's Security Bureau.The PSB arms can also be placed onto a flag which is typically organized into a tricolor. Cyan and red are both used to represent their meaning on the USSE flag. The black color in the center is meant to represent darkness, with the PSB arms being used to represent light in the face of darkness.
