Multiland

OOC: O.K. this roleplay doesn't have a point to it - any point will be made up as it goes along.
Basically, I want to role-play something a bit like out of a movie, like where there are like spaceships floating around the country keeping watch on everyone and the citizens live in fear of them (or a less extreme version) - basically it's mass surveillance at it's surveillancist.
Anyone can join and be a Citizen of Multiland (Dual Nationality exists you know) or a Refugee (Refugees live in a special area on the borders of Multiland whilst they are waiting for their applications to be processed).
RULES:
This is using Present Technology (but joining two types of technology together - eg. a car that transforms into a motorbike <via technological means only, not sci-fi>) is fine
If you decide not to be a Citizen of Multiland or a Refugee, you can not be someone who has already snuck into the country without being noticed - it's virtually impossible anyway, due to the brilliant Multiland Protection Service. If you do want to sneak in, you must describe how you got past each defence (you can make up a few defences if you want)
The story can go anywhere, as long as it connects. Having a massive storm then suddenly someone starts sunbathing naked is kinda silly (maybe funny, but me no want that on this roleplay).
Things to bear in mind:
Multiland has a massive defence force - the Multiland Protection Service (MPS). This includes fighter jets, helicopters, tranquiliser powder-dropping planes, lethal and non-lethal weapons, a Water Defence Team, a Ground Defence Team (WDT), and Air Defence Team (ADT), vehicles that turn into other vehicles (via technological means only, not sci-fi)... basically, if it CAN logically exist with current technology (regardless of whether it has actually been created in real-life), then it DOES exist in the MPS. The MPS also controls a bomb-shield that forms a half-circle over most of the country - it is made out of special material and is in several sections that lock together.
Most of Multiland's citizens are naked
Virtually all of Multiland's citizens are trained in First Aid
Most of Multiland's citizens are trained in some kind of self-defence or/and Martial Art. Many are trained in boxing as well or instead.
Multiland has a network of Underground Shelters, connected by tunnels. The citizens don't know about these yet, as there has not yet been a need to use them. To access them, there are big metal squares on the floor that must be unlocked (this can be done automatically from a central place, or by hand individually) by a Multiland Official. The citizens believe these squares are to do with some kind of electricity supply or something. Some situations the shelters would be used in: threat of war on Multiland, explosion, tornado (where people have not been able to evacuate for whatever reason). The shelters, as soon as they are opened, would be staffed by Multiland Officials. INFO ON SHELTERS: The shelters are split into many sectors, each one with a central information desk. There is a massive supply of long-lasting food and drink, and there is a kitchen per every 500 matresses. People would sleep on matresses along the floor (families would be put in a special Family Room), and areas in each sector are split into Male, Female, and Mixed (plus of course the Family Room, which has cots available). There is one private shower & toilet facility per every 50 matresses, plus one communal shower facility per every 200 matresses (contains one shower per every 10 people) (including in the mixed area - Multiland accepts nudity remember), plus one Male Urinal Room per every 200 matresses (contains a urinal long enough for 20 people), plus one set of 10 cubicles (USA: stalls) per every 300 mattresses, plus a toilet and shower for every 10 people in the Family Room. There are also urinals dottes along the wall.
The Leader of Multiland cares for his citizens. This is the main reason for all the surveillance.
The Emergency Services (plus the non-emergency police) are merged as one - each still does duties specific to them (for example, their are still ambulances that deal with casualties, still a fire brigade that deals with fires, etc., and all still have "ambulance" or "fire" etc. on their vehicles), but each one has Power of Arrest and has been trained in this to police standards (including restraint techniques) and has "OS" (Office of Safety - this is the organisation they belong to) on the vehicle/uniform)
If you think this will be a rubbish roleplay, please do not post a message saying so - please just ignore it, thanks.
If possible, please try to use British-English, thanks :)

IC: It was only 6pm but it was already dark this Winter. As the citizens tried to go about their business, a craft hovered above them, quite high in the air. Its purpose: to track the citizens, and deal with any trouble-makers. The craft, using its long-range heat-seeking device, spotted an altercation. Within minutes, OS Officers were on the scene. They had been patrolling in civillian clothes, as they do every night (either in different areas or in disguise so that criminals can't be warned who to look out for) and had received a message from the craft.
One of the men had been severely beaten, a well-built, clean-shaven man in his twenties. The other man, also well-built but bearded and around 30 years old, turned on the OS Officers. "Let me deal with this" said the slimmest of the three OS Officers. He could see it hadn't been a fair fight, otherwise he would have left the two men alone if it had been in a private area - the other man hadn't wanted to fight at all.
The bearded man laughed. "I'll crush you, you lanky git!". Annoyed and hurt at being called lanky, the Officer found it difficult to keep his cool. But he managed to, and as the man swung for him, he blocked it and flipped him over with a throw from judo - Tai Otoshi, or Body Drop. The man landed on a patch of grass, so whilst he was hurt badly, he was able to stand up quickly. He aimed another punch, which was blocked by the Officer who followed it up with a headbut to the nose that missed its target. The bearded man stepped back to avoid being gripped and thrown again, and the OS Officer used this opportunity to aim a fast kick to the head, which hit its target, sending the man into a daze. "Be careful," the Officer thought to himself, "he could have grab-". Before he had chance to finish, the bearded man aimed a kick of his own. Finishing off his thoughts with action rather than words, the OS Officer grabbed the man's leg and pulled him to the floor. Using an armlock, he twisted the man over and cuffed his arms behind his back.
The man was walked to a nearby van that had been called out by the craft, which was still hovering in the area, and taken away.
A woman, who had been using illegal drugs, had watched the incident from the shadows. The heat-seeker from the craft couldn't tell what she was doing, but she was still scared. She looked up, and saw the craft begin to turn towards her location. Quickly she slipped away from her hiding place into a nearby pub. "I wonder what they do to them", she thought, wondering about the man who had been aressted. "Do they just arrest people and let them go, or do they keep them there... forever...?"
