[[File:Zhenli ye gon.png|thumb|Zhenli Ye Gon, rumored boss of the National Opium Syndicate]]

One of Daxia's oldest criminal organizations, the Syndicate is rumored to be the group that provided opium to the imperial court during the time of the Qian dynasty and is believed to have existed in some form or another since at least the mid Zhong dynasty period. It reinvented itself from a supplier of drugs solely for the royal elites into a group that sold to all social strata and to foreign markets too. It survived the military crackdowns of [[Qiu Heng]] and his successors in the military regime albeit with its structure much changed by the ordeal of government sponsored bloodletting. From a pyramidal, highly hierarchichal structure, nowadays the group operates with a more flat organizational chart, being made up of many semi-autonomous territorial cells that each have an assigned province to operate in; government contacts and transport fleets are shared by the cells. The syndicate is rumored to be engaged solely in transportation and street level sales of opioids within the Audonian mainland and the southern Cathay, with production shifted to other entities. Security experts believe a man named Zhenli Ye Gon to be the top leader of the organization, its 'General Director'. If he has any actual operational control or is only a puppet that follows directives from the government cannot be ascertained. Zhenli Ye Gon has led the organization since the mid 1990's after carrying out a palace coup against the previous leadership during which older bosses died in a string of car bomb explosions.

====Cao ~~Limited~~ Consortium====

====Cao Trade Consortium====

The Cao Trade Consortium was the alleged name of a drug cartel operating on the island of [[Cao]]. The group had strong ties with the local political and military elites and was purportedly protected by them. The consortium sourced their cocaine from the semi autonomous statelet of [[Chimoche]] where they had arrangements with the royal court to grow and process the coca plant. The cocaine was smuggled and sold in various parts of [[Cusinaut]]. After repeated complaints by [[Urcea]]n authorities, six batallions of [[Bureau of State Protection|BSP]] agents descended on the island and proceeded to dismantle the consortium over a period of two months. In addition to consortium associates, some three hundred members of the police and the local party nomenklatura (including the entire presidium) were fired and arrested as accomplices to a criminal conspiracy. The fall of the consortium was also accelerated by complaints by the [[Xisheng Office of Contentment]] as some of the raw materials used by them were being diverted by [[Chimoche]] to the consortium.

====[[House of the Blessed Brothers|House of Troubles]]====

The wellness movement turned doomsday cult and terrorist group has been dealing with drug use since its earliest days. Zoov's disciples were advised to consume cannabis and cocaine to enter 'a propitious spiritual state', in this manner they could best receive the energy of the earth and absorb the teachings of Zoov. The group reportedly turned to harder drugs when it went underground such as inyecting heroine or cocaine laced with gunpowder, these drugs made the already fanatical members fight with great ferocity under delusions of invincibility. When the movement turned to using child suicide bombers against police targets, defectors of the group recount how Zoov instructed them to lie to the children by telling them that the cocaine they were being given would make their bodies strong enough to survive the explosions. The groups continued existence may be tied to its ability to self fund through the sale of drugs on a micro scale, small enough to go unnoticed by the government and other criminal groups.
