Hi Ivan! Thanks for your questions. We're going to address 1 and 2 together and then answer 3.

The entire world and colonies are all governed by the same government, and as such operate under the same law. Personal firearms are completely illegal. Police officers and members of the military undergo extensive training before they are allowed to use any weapons, with PD officers rarely carrying except in emergency situations or for specific operations, and only while on active duty. They also undergo thorough investigation if their firearm is discharged.

If you would like for Eren to have a weapon, he would either have to look into the criminal organizations in the city in order to gain access to the black market, or he could have picked one up during the August event and hidden it so it was not taken from him on entering the new safehouse.

We do have to note that characters unfortunately cannot have backgrounds in the police or military as part of their fake in-world history, as Morningstar are not be able to alter or create those records in a way which will hold up under scrutiny. Characters who would want to go this route will have to start from scratch. Unfortunately working in private security would need some existing background, so Eren may want to consider starting as a bouncer and working his way up that way, if not joining the police force.

For your third question, Africa and Madagascar have lost a lot of their current coastline to the rising oceans, but are not entirely underwater. However, the effects of climate change meant that much of the continent was uninhabitable for a long period of time due to extreme heat. While the atmospheric stabilization grid has mitigated some of this, most of the continent is unpopulated, with a relatively small amount (in comparison to elsewhere) of quite "young" mega cities situated in the most habitable areas.
