The Ouacan Cartel (Spanish: Cártel de Ouacan), also known as the COP, the Edello-Paso Organization, and the Euronia Cartel, is a large, international organized crime syndicate that specializes in illegal drug trafficking and money laundering. It was established in East Chanchajilla during the late 1980s as one of a various number of subordinate “plazas" operating under a predecessor organization known as the Jaraja Cartel. It is currently headed by Miguel Perez García and is based in the city of Ouacan, with operations in many world regions but primarily in the Chanchajillas. It also has a notable presence in a number of other regions in central Euronia, such as West Chanchajilla, Selle, and Arenacia; as well as in cities across Zamastan. The Zamastanian Intelligence Community generally considers the Ouacan Cartel to be the largest and most powerful drug trafficking organization in the world. It is also frequently referred to by other non-government based media sources as one of the most powerful and feared criminal organizations in the world and indisputably the most powerful in East Chanchajilla. During the leadership of Joaquín Quintero Carrillo, the multi-billion dollar international drug trafficking empire supposedly controlled at least 91% of the world's heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana trade, regularly exporting multi-ton shipments of narcotics to every continent. The organization has also been known to utilize narcosubmarines, boats, ships, trains, helicopters, and cargo planes for their smuggling operations.
According to the ZIS, the Ouacan Cartel is primarily involved in the distribution of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl, cannabis and MDMA. It is currently the majority supplier of illicit fentanyl in Euronia, with most, if not all of the cartel's heroin now also being mixed with fentanyl or related chemical analogues to increase the heroin's “potency” in a more cost-effective manner. As of 2023, the Ouacan Cartel remains East Chanchajilla's most dominant drug cartel.
