Travel Status Ratings (Histalpol)

Travel Status Ratings is Histalpol's national security alert system. Created in 1972 after the Bloody Friday attack by the Provisional IRA with an attack consisting of 26 bombs killing 11 and injuring more than a hundred, the attack caused Histalpol to create this alert system to avoid an attack like that occurring during the Decades of Suspension in which organised crime groups blackmailed money out of the government and major companies by bombings at government buildings and services as well as stores. It as since been ebbing up and down the scale but has reached it's top level of 5* on 4 occasions: in 1977 after mass bombings killed 164 at station, buses, trains, tunnels and bridges crippling transport, 2001 after the September 11 attacks, 2005 after the 7 July 2005 London bombings and in 2010 after an attack on Bastilia International Airport which killed 16 people.

The system defines 7 levels of threats represented by 5 colours: blue, green, orange, red, red on black. The levels call for specific security measures, including increased police or police/military mixed patrols (defined as authority figures), immediate evacuation of an area and the stopping of suspicious vehicles and searches of persons of suspicious activity. There is a special level that is included which is written as /1. This rating details of no access while no danger is present. Travel is not permitted in the area with /1 rating due to problems with infrastructure or events of unknown specificity to the public, this being such as Summits, Foreign Relations meetings and meetings of influential persons of Histalpol and other countries otherwise mentioned. The explanation then goes on to state that the area does not pose any danger to the traveller or the persons in the immediate area, but official authorities, such as police or military, will deny any access to the site unless stated otherwise.
