Medwedia is a classic totalitarian dictatorship (actually more totalitarian than any Terran one and to some extent even more totalitarian than the DCP), so it is probably no suprise for you to see this. People who speak out against the government openly (even in private, because children are encouraged to report their parents and microphones are installed in apartments) are quickly arrested, tortured until confessions are given (even though evidence or confessions are not required for a conviction in Medwedia) and then publicily executed, for example by flaying.

Classes do exist in Medwedia, of course. A list of classes can be found on the Medwedia page. The "ecology" between these is quite oppressive - there is no social mobility whatnotever. Each class despises those below it. You can find more information in my essay.

There is no single "secret police", over 30 different organizations fall in this category. They spend a large part of their time spying on eachother but can still effectively crack down on any unlawful or undesirable activity and instill fear in the Medwedian citizenry. Usually, the lower classes can join these "secret polices" as "assistant agents" and are provided small privileges such as an one-time permit to visit the capital touristically in return for regular reports on the behavior of their families, friends and comrades.
