The Novex Power Company
Panguul is currently ruled not by the FBP, but by the Novex Power Company. Novex is basically Shinra.
The reason why Intybus behaves like a trading post is because Novex runs the city like a corporation. While Novex does employ private companies for various reasons, Novex runs pretty much everything in the city, from electrical power to water to sewage to social benefits. The Novex brand is also stamped on everything that is considered 'public'. While Novex is an all-encompassing entity, it is not a stereotypically soulless capitalist dictatorship; it tends to be a benevolent dictatorship, which includes the well-being of its people as a crucial part of its major interests. This does not mean Novex will turn a blind eye to less scrupulous company policy, however...
Novex, being largely private, maintains several departments which act as local governments for various services and districts around Intybus.
In order of highest influence to lowest:
Trade Relations: Above all else, maintaining trade relations with other nations, cities, and interstellar colonies comes first.
Department of Urban Development: This department ensures organization within the city, as well as Novex's other cities across the globe.
Public Maintenance: Despite the name of this division, maintaining public safety is the justification for these stern figures and their stern measures. In short, these guys are secret police.
The Municipal Army: Novex's armed forces for things like natural disasters and the rare invasion attempts. Also, riot control. They don't get along with anybody.
The City Police Force: The local police. Corrupt as hell. A sad excuse for law enforcement.
Waste Disposal: This department is the one responsible for sewage and recycling.
These are just a few of Novex's many control departments, more to come.
