Lore & Background
The source describes the political system of Amestris as being inspired by early 20th-century Europe and notes that State Alchemists are recruited by the government with code names. It mentions that King Bradley is the leader of Amestris and a homunculus named Wrath, and that higher officials are complicit in Father's plans. While it references a 'government conspiracy' discovered by Maes Hughes, who was subsequently killed by Envy, the text does not identify a specific Military Police Force responsible for these actions or define its jurisdiction. The only military cities mentioned are Central City and Briggs.
In Their Own Story
The source outlines the plot of Fullmetal Alchemist, including Edward and Alphonse's search for the Philosopher's Stone, their encounter with Scar in Resembool, and the murder of Maes Hughes. It details how Lieutenant Maria Ross was framed for Hughes' murder by the homunculus Envy and how Colonel Roy Mustang faked her death to smuggle her out of the country. The text also describes the Elrics' journey to Fort Briggs and their confrontation with Sloth. However, none of these events are attributed to a Military Police Force; the narrative focuses on State Alchemists, Homunculi, and civilian allies like Dr. Marcoh and Winry Rockbell.
Reader's Guide
The source provides details on the Law of Equivalent Exchange, the nature of Human Transmutation, and the existence of the Gate of Truth. It lists specific cities such as Rush Valley for automail manufacturing and Ishbal as a region that suffered genocide during the Civil War. It mentions that Xing uses alkahestry instead of standard alchemy. Despite detailing various factions like the Homunculi (Lust, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Pride) and specific characters like Colonel Roy Mustang and General Olivier Armstrong, the text does not offer a guide to the Military Police Force or its hierarchy.
