Political Factions

Political Factions of Modern Myrnia
Unlike the other documents I’ve provided you, this does not need to be burned once you’ve committed it to memory. If any of our adversaries lack this information, they are too ill informed to be a threat to us.

Most of our citizens live their lives in ignorance of all but the few of these factions. As an agent freshly pledged to our organization, it is vital that you learn the key players in Myrnia and their relationships to one another. I’m sure you’ll find this context will be necessary even for your first assignment.

I advise briefly skimming the entire list, and then following up in detail only on those that you are likely to encounter or deal with in the near term. As you find contacts, references, or enclaves of the others you can come back to them and look them up. Much of this will make more sense after you have met their agents and seen them in action.

One word of caution: I would avoid adding notes or comments to the margins or flyleaves. Any of your observations might bring attention to what you are finding worthy of attention, and that might give away your true allegiance. Like the pamphlets on tactics and goals, you’ll need to memorize your findings as you go.

Good luck to you. I’d offer to answer any questions this book may raise, but it is unlikely we will ever meet again.
