The totalitarian regime is the oppressive and domineering governmental force of the City which monitors all communication, controls the media and even has policies which include the complete outlawing of smoking and alcohol.

Background

Over time, the government slowly changed from a seemingly peaceful system to Template:W. The City is now monitored by many security cameras and Blues patrolling the City. Some citizens didn't mind the heightened security and restrictions to life, for it allowed them to live more "comfortable" lives. Others went against this, however, and began to protest against the new standards of living ushered in by the totalitarian regime, which eventually lead to the November Riots.

The Runners came into play soon after people began to realize that even the smallest amount of private information was watched by the government as it is passed from one thing to another. The Runners aren't actually fighting this form of government, per se; they are simply going against it and allowing citizens of the City to have their own personal lives.
