The Zacaco Syndicate, also known as the Western Underworld or the Sunset Mob, is a blanket term for the criminal society and its various interdependent organizations operating across the west coast of Zacapican, particularly within the Zacaco Republic. Organized crime in Zacaco is controlled by various street and prison gangs operating together within the same criminal ecosystem dominated by the highly influential Akuitsiurhiri organization and the various gangs that pay tribute to them, collectively referred to as the Opitzome (tr. "street pigs"). The network of Akuitsiurhiri relationships is far from unified. Akuitsiurhiri members are not considered to be part of the Opitzotl gangs or vice versa, while the Opitzome regularly wage war on one another in a near-perpetual internecine conflict that touches most elements of the criminal underworld in Zacapican. However, the western underworld is governed by a code comparable to international law that governs the interactions between groups, including the conduct of violent actions and gang warfare, and is backed by the Tzitzimime hit-squad which acts as the enforcement arm of the Akuitsiurhiri.
