Realm Goidel Constabulary

The Realm Goidel Constabulary (Tipsprek: Ryk-Goideliskonstabelerij, RGK) is an interstate that has jurisdiction over the Western Tiperyner provinces of Darimh, Rosraig, and Poc'her. It is planned to takeover municipal policing in these provinces from Tiperyner federal police by 2025, as well as furnish a counter-insurgency investigative branch called the Mounted Division that operates throughout Western Tiperyn.

The agency traces its origins back to 1615 when in the wake of the First Goidelic Secession, Empress Johana decreed that permanent, paid constables must be commissioned to patrol the west's wards and highways. Independent sheriffs, granted warrants from the monarch, self-organized watches over their counties. However, this arrangement was superseded in 1802 by the newly established Goidel Constabulary which was centrally controlled in each of the three Goidel province capitals. But, with the rise of republican unrest in Airgialla, Goidelia's Realm Guard regiments were disbanded by the newly ascended Empress Ingel in 1820, further stoking unrest. This came to a head in 1867, when the militant Sons of Airgialla seized the city of Rosrick and executed its constables. The revolt required the deployment of the Realm Guard and Holy Guard to the archipelago to put down. This episode ultimately led to the dissolution of the Goidel Constabulary in 1868, with law in Western Tiperyn being jointly enforced by the Holy Guard and civil law enforcement agencies of the Secretariat on Jurisprudence.

The Realm Goidel Constabulary was reformed in 2022 in the midst of the Third Goidelic Secession to return some internal policing duties back to the citizens of Western Tiperyn. Military and federal law enforcement resources were then to be focused on counter-insurgency operations against the Soldiers of Goidelia. However, the policy was controversial due to its high-level leadership being entirely ethnically Tiperyner bureaucrats from the Secretariat on Jurisprudence and its recruits being primarily drawn from the province of Poc'her. Poc'her is a primarily Apostolic-practicing province, differentiating it from the hotbeds of the Goidelic insurgency that have a significant underground pagan base. Additionally, Poc'her Goidels have an accent distinct from Darimh and Rosraig Goidels, making them easily distinguishable from the natives they police.
