Lol they call you a gendarme? Thats kind of amusing and also slightly confusing because the gendarmes are basically military police and completely distinct from regular police. Although the RNCP is supposed to be a militia so that could fit, im just really surprised how many french cultural and linguistic pointers the game uses, i remember it really weirded me out when i first played it lol, like “why the hell does everyone have a french accent”
The RCM is literally a remnant of the former ICM, the "Black and White Army" of the Communards, so the line is blurry.
And yeah, Revachol and some other parts of the Insulinde were colonized by Sur-la-Clef/Suresne, a not-so-subtle French analogue and the name itself is inspired by a famous French anarchist.
