IJAMEA saw it's most significant role during WWII, when it attempted to weaponize several anomalies to assist military forces in the war against the Allies. Rushed planning and insufficient funds, however, resulted in few of these programmes bearing fruit. The IJAMEA was formally disbanded with the Treaty of San Francisco in 1951, and most of its assists were either transferred to GOC control or covertly acquired by the Foundation.
However, imperial loyalist and Japanese nationalists within it kept IJAMEA alive in the post-war years, this time as a clandestine organization, during which its main focus was checking the spread of communist influence in Japan and East Asia. Today, it primarily serves to care for the well-being of Japan's diverse but faltering anomalous ecology, and support various nationalist agendas with its ties to prominent politicians, businesspeople and cultural personalities throughout Japan. It seems to return some political power to the Imperial family and return Japan to great power status, and actively seeks exploit the various anomalies in it's possession for this purpose. The Foundation is seen as a foreign rival at best, and agents are to exercise due caution when interacting with IJAMEA personnel.
Manna Charitable Foundation
Established in 1971 as an interfaith humanitarian relief agency, recovered documents describe the Manna Charitable Foundation's mission as "sharing all of God's miracles with the least of His Children". Funded indirectly through associations with various charitable groups and religious organizations, and on occasion endorsed by wealthy philanthropist or academic institutions, the MCF's primary agenda since it's founding has been the free distribution of anomalous objects, or their by-products, to civilians living in poverty-stricken regions in the Third World or in areas afflicted by warfare, famine, or natural disaster.
The MCF is currently recognized as a non-governmental organization by the United Nations, and is known to operate legally and illegally in several hostile or isolated regions outside the Foundation's sphere of influence. While no SCP objects known to have been distributed by the MCF to date have caused international harm to human beings or communities (and detained MCF operatives tend to demonstrate strong pacifist beliefs), containment breaches associated with the group have often resulted in human casualties or severe threats to the global status que due to unforseen consequences of the objects release from containment, and/or a zeal to distribute potentially "helpful" objects immediately without rigorous scientific study of their long-term behavior.
Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd.
A "club" based in London, England. Catering to the super-rich and withe extensive political and financial ties worldwide, this group has caused extensive problems for the Foundation. Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. is known for collecting rare and obscure items, along with providing it's members the most exclusive, expensive, and rare experiences available.
These activities have resulted in conflict with the Foundation on numerous occasions. The group is not known for the use of force; they prefer to apply extreme financial and political pressure to achieve their goals. When forced to use more direct means, Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. employs outside agents, and it is very difficult to connect said agents to the organization.
Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. has caused several SCP containment breaches, primarily through the use of money or social pressure. Several reports, records, and even items, have been leaked by Foundation personnel who had been approached with large amounts of money, or threats of extensive jail time or torture. Notably, two containment sites were almost brought to public attention after the Foundation refused access to members of Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd.
Information pertaining to Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. , such as the name of the director or even a list of members, has proven very difficult to acquire. Agents encountering members of this group are advised to maintain a cover story and not, for any reason, reveal Foundation ties or SCP information.
Medician Academy of Occult Art
One of the most ancient and renowned academic institutions in the anomalous world, the Medician Academy of Occult Art (in Italian: Medicea Academia dell'Arte Occulta) is a GOI based in Florence, Italy. Founded in the late 15th century by Lorenzo de' Medici, lord of Florence and patron of arts; during the Renaissance, the Academy was able to spread it's influence across most nations of Europe and the courts of the Old Continent. The activities promoted by the Academy includes teachings art techniques and the recollection of old anomalous artifacts from ancient cultures.
From the mid 18th century, after going through a brief period of decadence, the Academy was able to recover and create new branches in new countries across new continents. The institution oriented it's activity towards the recovery and restoration of artistical items, developing a peculiar taste for the arts. This led to hostile relations with the AWCY? movement, which is considered the main rival for the Academy.
All this information is sourced from the official archives of the Italian Branch of the Foundation.
"Nobody"
Little is currently known about the person, entity, or group known as "Nobody". First sighted in 1954, they have had numerous appearances since. There has only been one person seen at any given time, typically described as a male caucasian dressed in a grey suit and a fedora. If asked his identity, he replies that he's "Nobody". However, it is not known if this is the work of a single person or multiple agents of a single, unknown agency. Their agenda is currently unknown, sometimes helping the Foundation, sometimes hindering it. Caution is recommended if any field agents encountered an operative identifying themselves a "Nobody".
