The Saints

Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB) * The FIB operates as the primary federal investigative and strategic coordination agency in San Andreas, focused on intelligence gathering, infiltration, and neutralization of high-level threats. Its operation is marked by extreme internal compartmentalization, with specialized divisions operating in parallel and often covertly. Operations prioritize prolonged surveillance, information manipulation, and surgical interventions, avoiding direct exposure whenever possible. Its equipment is geared towards discretion and technology: light and compact weaponry, listening and tracking devices, unmarked vehicles, advanced data interception systems, and limited air support, used more for observation than for open confrontation.

• IAA (International Affairs Agency) The IAA is dedicated to federal operations of an external and interstate nature, operating at the intersection of international intelligence, counterterrorism, and geopolitical influence. Its operations are less visible and even more secretive than those of the FIB, with agents frequently deployed in operations outside the immediate urban territory. The agency prioritizes indirect actions, selective cooperation with foreign forces, and long-range clandestine operations. Its equipment reflects this nature: specialized, easily concealed weaponry, advanced encryption technology, survival and infiltration equipment, as well as access to discreet air transport and global logistical resources, ensuring mobility and absolute secrecy.

Los Santos is a coastal city in the western United States, in the state of San Andreas. The city is overrun by organized crime, mafias, triads, drugs, and private companies, driven by rampant capitalism where corporations are above the state and crime reigns supreme, resulting in constant conflict. The city embodies the American dream with its luxurious, decadently wealthy neighborhoods and, of course, the great American film industry in Vinewood. However, the city is also a den of moral decay, with drugs, prostitutes, and violence everywhere.

Los Santos stretches along the southern coast, shaped by an irregular coastline where wide beaches coexist with cliffs, piers, and industrial ports. The city grows unevenly, with densely built-up areas contrasting with sprawling, low-rise neighborhoods, reflecting decades of rapid expansion and fragmented planning.

In the center, glass and concrete skyscrapers dominate the skyline, forming a compact financial core surrounded by wide avenues and elevated viaducts that distribute traffic in multiple layers. As one moves away from this core, the city fragments into distinct zones: planned residential districts, old suburbs, degraded industrial areas, and irregularly built communities.

The urban fabric is crisscrossed by elevated highways, tunnels, and complex intersections, creating physical barriers between neighborhoods and reinforcing social and economic separation. Wide avenues lined with palm trees coexist with narrow, poorly maintained streets cluttered with overhead wires.
