Public Division Zero (公安0課 Kouan Zero Ka?) is the Japanese government's underground sector, tasking its shadow enforcers to do jobs bypassing jurisdictional legislations with a "License to Kill". A secret police organization established by the Anglo-Japanese Alliance back during the era of the Greater Japanese Empire, based of from Great Britain's 00 (Double O) series.
Following the transfer of power to the Democratic Party of Japan, the organization was disbanded with most of its main members either executed or exiled. It was re-established In 2012 after the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan regained power. Since then, the organization was subject to the Prime Minister, becoming its super elite forces of legislation while corresponding to national crisis using any means, even if its murder.
