FPCO

The FPCO (Free People of Côte d’Orsainne) is a nationalist terrorist group founded by Silvain Lalande and Gaétan Hémery in 1956 that fights for the separation of Côte d’Orsainne from the rest of New France. They are overall responsible for two of the largest attacks on the New France territory and are known to use vehicles to bomb strategic targets.

Assassination of Gaétan Hémery
On the 13th of October 1987 co-founder of FPCO Gaétan Hémery was making a speech to a group of seven FPCO members in an abandoned house in the Sainte-Sophie district when he was shot in the head by an unknown assassin, causing the FPCO members to take cover and start shooting at a local gang in a shootout that would alert the regional Côte d’Orsainne police. What ensued is a thirty minute shootout between the Blondeau gang, lead by Rémy Blondeau, the FPCO members lead by Evan Boucher, a violent criminal known for rapes and murders all across the city and the Côte d’Orsainne police which ended with the death of Blondeau, two policemen and most of the FPCO members. Boucher and two other members, Jérôme Tixier and Felix Auge, managed to escape the area, however, and would later be involved in a violent terrorist attack on the Tower of Ozenx.

The Kijé Affair
On the 18th of October 2012, Moreizo Kijé, a 14-year-old teen from the Jaron Islands, entered a bank in the Sainte-Sophie district of Côteville-Ville-d’Orsainne carrying an SMG and attempted a mass shooting while screaming Côtenese separatist phrases like "O von batta, mo a Frin" (You will be defeated, death to France), usually associated with the FPCO. Kijé shot a security guard and two employees before being shot by a nearby officer who had heard the shooting, and only managed to kill the security guard, however, the exact motive for Kijé's attack on a bank is still unknown. Following this the Police Côtannaise raided his house where they found 5 kg of cocaine, a small revolver, and a shrine dedicated to "Pa Cotos", the spiritual leader of the Côtenese people, and his mother was later found guilty of having been involved in drug trafficking alongside him. On the day following the attack the leader of the FCPO, Silvain Lalande, claimed the attack and declared Kijé a martyr, before declaring war to the New French Government.
