Secret Police HQ is a Small Wonder in Civilization III: Conquests. It requires Espionage and only civilizations under Communist government can build it. Changing from Communism will cause the Secret Police HQ bonuses to stop. Functioning somewhat similarly to the Palace, it strongly reduces Corruption and Waste in the city in which it is built, and imparts a similar but more limited benefit to other nearby cities.
Civilopedia entry[]
Totalitarian governments virtually always rely heavily on secret police forces to enforce ideological and political reliability in the populations they govern. Secret police headquarters are often innocuous and bland, and usually contain not just offices and meeting rooms but interrogation and torture facilities, prison cells, execution chambers, and so forth. The Soviet KGB's headquarters was made in the Lubyanka, a tsarist-era office building located over an underground prison complex. Across the street from the Lubyanka was a toy store for children, to take away from the sinister image projected by the building.
