The State Police Unit (Narodyn: Підрозділ державної поліції; Pidrozdil derzhavnoyi politsiyi), better known by its Narodyn abbreviation PDP is the principal secret police organisation of the Narozalic Republic, acting as its main security agency and conducting both domestic and foreign intelligence gathering. The PDP is one of Euclea's most active secret police organisations and holds significant influence within Narozalica, and has historically been extremely active in much of central Euclea, particularly in the fallout of the Sostava War.
The PDP was founded in 1931 as an undercover intelligence group operating behind enemy lines in Poliania and Gaullica during the Great War. Successful through its use of espionage and undercover double agents, the PDP was expanded to become Narozalica's primary secret police organisation by Vladislav Pudovkin in 1941, and also participated in the Solarian War against Etruria in the mid-1940s. It was expanded greatly by Gabriel Tozulyak in the 1960s at the height of the Great Game and was extremely active in nations such as Equalist Amathia and Slirnia. During the Sostava War, much of the PDP mutinied to the Partisans, and the organisation continued its work throughout the war, especially in Zalykia. The organisation was again incredibly active in central Euclea after the war, contributing greatly to retention of Narozalic influence in the area.
As one of Euclea's largest intelligence agencies, with an estimated number of personnel of up to 30,000 and an estimated budget of around €10 billion, the PDP continues to maintain an global network of underground resources that are frequently used by Narozalica for foreign intelligence and domestic security purposes.

Assassination of Vilem Gardos
On March 19, 1986, former Narozalic president Vilem Gardos was discovered dead in his seaside house in the city of Bandar-e Inqelab in Zorasan. Gardos had been exiled in Zorasan since he was granted asylum by the county in 1982 after his loss in the Sostava War. Reportedly, he was granted a house on a coast by the Zorasani government, and was initially heavily guarded by both Gardos' personal guard, six of whom had flown over from Narozalica, as well as a small group of soldiers from the Zorasani Irfanic Revolutionary Army. Beginning in late 1983, the guard on the house was lessened and Gardos began making increased public appearances, masquerading his identity with facial hair that had been dyed black. Reportedly Gardos had been using the alias of Nouzar Abbasi, and had been a Zorasani citizen since 1983. The Zorasani Army ceased guarding the property sometime in 1985 and Gardos was left with two night guard on the property for most days.
As Gardos made his way into Bandar-e Inqelab, presumably for grocery shopping and later seen visiting a bank, he was shot in the arm from a short distance with a modified umbrella, containing a mechanism used to propel an engineered pellet containing ricin. Later developing a fever and later severe vomiting and diarrhoea symptoms, Gardos was admitted to hospital on the evening of March 17. Preliminary tests by Zorasani doctors did not rule out the possibility of external poisoning but did not confirm it until Gardos died on March 19, by which it was discovered that he had around 60 micrograms of ricin per kilogram body weight in his body, almost three times the median lethal dose. Gardos was confirmed dead by Zorasani medical officials a day later, by which is it speculated the perpetrating agent had flown back to Narozalica. It was the first high-level assassination carried out by the PDP after the Sostava War and one of the few conducted outside of Euclea. Diplomatic exchanges between Narozalica and Zorasan after the incident led to the eventual degradation of bilateral relations between the countries, which hampered Narozalica's ties with ROSPO, which had been founded later that year.
