At the link http://www.copwatch.zinelibrary.info/DOGO.JPG (and a little later, here) you will find a graphic of downtown Olympia.

There, in the graphic, are little white and red intersections. Red means trains, and Federal involvement. White means City of Olympia and local police involvement (if one is blocking these intersections).
It's your choice how you will treat pieces which land in either kind of intersection when the police surround them.

The hardest part of the game are the rules:
YOU write the rules. (It's harder than you think)
I only ask that you be realistic about how pieces move, where pieces "land" and how fast they can really move from place to place. If you actually use the rules of "go" you can just place the pieces down, never moving any of them, and every few turns see if a "Train" or "Convoy" of military vehicles can get into, or out of, the Port of Olympia (at the top) to one of six exits, marked in red along the bottom and sides.

Or, if you want to you can assume they are coming inbound from the exits, toward the Port.

Most important rule: HAVE FUN AND PLAY!

I had to think about what this was

But, here are the actual rules of Go, which I think Drew is encouraging you to adapt for this game.

You forgot

 To factor in annoyed citizens who just want to get to work, and don't give a rat's posterior about a protest

Drew already thought of that.

Those people will congregate in the "blue" and "green" sectors, and try to build up a big enough cavalry to win back Kamchatka. If they lose, they will have to go back to "home" and start around the board again. Or, they always have the option of performing an "en-passant", although that is a traffic violation (which would make them no better than the anarchist criminals).

 sneaking through the sewers?

Jumbo squid are an entirely different beast.

I thought that was Rocky Mountain Squid.

I thought

 All the Rockies had were oysters?
