Global Confederate and Amity Enforcers
This is somewhat important, because both my ‘protags’ work with G.C in close proximity. Since it is relevant, it obviously, is not set in stone (nothing important ever is, this is an ever-evolving project).
I’d like to share what I have so far.
It echoes of anime, and rank systems stolen from existing militaristic organisations. G.C is a lot of things, being and being an Amity Enforcer (Acer) is a long-haul process.
Hit me up if you’ve had a chance to go through this and have ideas about how I could flesh it out some more.
Details below the cut!

Global Confederate’s motto is: Conscience. Concordance. Cognizance. Their M.O is to try mould their Acers young.
Scattered all over the world (at least one per Region), they have, G.C Academies, that are half/full-Boarding schools. They are highly competitive to get into. One needs excellent mean of their 'Genetic and practical-applicability score’ to make it in.
Usually, G.C academy graduates get (especially those that have done well), get a preferential spot in G.C Universities.
G.C Universities have open call-outs for students all over the world, but those who are not Academy graduates very rarely clear the qualifications examinations and that is if they have the pre-requisites to apply. G.C universities are equipped with the best research labs and offer cutting edge higher education. It is also where Amity Enforcers (should someone choose to be one) are further trained and start interning/practising.
Amity Enforcers, and other staff/S.P.A.C.C company workers get to enjoy the perks of the G.C Facilities, which offer state of the art residences and healthcare access.
More about Amity Enforcers (Acers)
The goal of Amity Enforcers is to: Identify radicals that pose a global threat. Dismantle organised crime and/or resistances that are deemed to be seeding chaos and seem to have no plausible, verifiable, singular cause. Resolving inter-sector conflict and situations. Providing aid in the event of disasters etc. So there is variance between the role and operations of on Acer from another.
Amity Enforcers - Ranking
Passing the initial screening [usually conducted straight out of the academy] puts an Acer at Rank 0 and they hold minimum jurisdiction over civilians. Subsequently, Ranking up comes with its own perks and each Rank holds power over the ones below.
Each rank-up needs an accumulation of 180 credits.
Academic Clearance/Teaching/Research can get a person maximum 90 credits per year. Mission Volunteering can get a candidate another 90 credits per year [This would depends on field and level/area of expertise+Patrol hours.] So, a person can rank up maximum once per year, and this is deemed quite difficult and time consuming.
P.S - I’m mostly focusing on the weapons each rank has access too, and these are not the perks I’m referring to above. I want to make it clear that it is not to diminish the brutality that we as a global community have been dealing with and rightfully protesting against in our current times.
In my fictional world, this access to these weapons is very regulated. Use of the weapons is monitored and always needs to be explained. Apart from that, the focus here is primarily because sometimes I imagine anime-esque battle scenes and its good to know what my characters, or those around them would be wielding based on their ranks or who they are working with.
Rank 0 - Ensigns.
Rank 1 - Recruits. Blunt subduing melee weapons. [Prod-batons/tasers]
Rank 2 - Cadets. Customised sharp subduing melee weapons.
Rank 3 - Officers. Customised non-lethal ranged weapons. [Tranquil darts]

[+6 more years of service as a Senior Council Member] on becomes eligible for Council Leader.
(High ranking S.P.A.N.C.C employees and people in leadership positions are often also part of the council.)
