Golden Rose (Criminal organization)

The Golden Rose (Rose d'Or) is an organized criminal organization that has a predominance in the Atlionese state of Sagesse. The organization is classified as a "Transnational Organized Crime Syndicate" by the International Police, the US federal government, the Atlionese national government, and the European Union. A study by the Nova Genoa Institute revealed that the Golden Rose has operations in most major European and North American cities, with smaller operations in Japan, South Korea, China, Australia, Argentina, and Brazil. The study also estimated that some 475,000 people are members of the organization, most of them concentrated in Sagesse, Quebec, France, Monaco, and Italy.

History
The Golden Rose is derived almost directly from a splinter group of thieves after the capitulation of the Sagessic Thieves Guild soon after Sagesse joined the Republic.
