Commonwealth Government

Part of the government series of articles.

SECURITY THREAT: LOW

An attack is highly unlikely at this time. This is because there are very few people who want to cause harm to Vekllei, and there is little means to conduct an attack on this country.

There are very few violent extremists with the intention to conduct an attack onshore, and the risk factors of an attack have been reduced. You do not need to change your daily behaviour or activities.

SECURITY THREAT: MODERATE

An attack is possible, but not likely. This is because there are a few people in Vekllei and overseas who want to cause this country harm, and may pose a risk to public safety.

The threat from scandinationalists and religious extremists has moderated. The ability for these groups to attack Vekllei have been substantially degraded, and support for these groups has declined. You do not need to change your daily behaviour or activities.

SECURITY THREAT: SUBSTANTIAL

An attack is likely. This is because extremists, including scandinationalists and religious fundamentalists, have support in Vekllei and overseas and may attempt to attack this country.

Rising anti-government sentiment and anti-Vekllei extremist beliefs can create conditions for an attack. It is important that Vekllei people remain aware of their surroundings in busy public places and report suspicious activity.

SECURITY THREAT: SEVERE

An attack is highly likely. This is because Noshem is aware of extremists in Vekllei and overseas who intend to attack this country. The risk of danger to Vekllei people is considerable.

In these conditions, support for extremist beliefs are a serious risk to public safety. Vekllei people should reconsider their need for travel and be aware of their surroundings in public places. All suspicious activity should be reported.

SECURITY THREAT: CERTAIN

An attack is imminent. Noshem are aware of a plan to attack this country. Danger is certain and Vekllei people may need to act immediately to save lives.

Extremists are planning to commit an act of terror against Vekllei and the public may be in danger. Vekllei people should stay away from all public places, cancel plans to travel and shelter in place. All suspicious activity should be reported.

The Commonwealth Intelligence Service (National Intelligence, or Noshem) is the secret service of Vekllei and the Commonwealth’s primary covert intelligence apparatus abroad. It is concerned with intelligence gathering, surveillance and operations external to the Commonwealth, operating through 40 semiautonomous sections organised into six regional bureaus.

Noshem’s sophisticated intelligence network and broad mandate contribute to its reputation abroad, and conspiracies about its presence exist in almost every country. The service is unique in its recruitment of foreigners, many of whom are promised citizenship and residency in Vekllei. Many Noshem sections recruit locally and manage foreign assets through Vekllei-born supervisors.

The service operates under direction of the Security Parliament and reports to the Commonwealth Directory. Its operations range from conventional intelligence gathering to covert action, counter-espionage and support for democratic movements abroad. Noshem maintains close but informal relationships with various non-state actors including labour movements, independence organisations and dissident groups across multiple continents.

Structure

Department of Analysis coordinates intelligence assessment and policy recommendations. The Office of General Policy provides strategic guidance whilst the Office of Threat Assessment evaluates security risks to Commonwealth interests.

Department of Espionage manages counter-intelligence operations through the General Office of Counter-Espionage and conducts risk mitigation for Commonwealth personnel and facilities abroad.

Department of Intelligence Sections oversees the 40 operational sections through the Sections Council, provides training through the General Training Section and coordinates activities through the Office of Section Coordination.

Department of Finance handles operational funding, payments to foreign assets and financial intelligence through the General Office of Accounts & Payments.

Department of Control Authority manages information security through the Office of Secrets, maintains operational security through the Office of Personnel & Culture, coordinates with Commonwealth media through the Office of the Intelligence Press and exercises oversight through the Office of Control Authority.

Department of Government Intelligence liaises with military and civilian leadership through dedicated offices serving the Armed Forces, Security Cabinet and Security Parliament.
