How would you create a police state?

[Zaroku]

Incrementally, and control curriculum at schools,
Create a false flag operation
Provide security
Disarm your citizens
Control the media
Control food production and water distribution
Give the police more powers to deal with citizens
Control the pulpits and all all religious books
Confiscate property.

So Saudi Arabia, or the UAE then?

Less Monarchy based though. None of that royalty nonsense like they continue to retain.

Also, more tech-y like that Watch Dogs game.
