Bureau of National Intelligence for the Emberleaf Republic
The Bureau of National Intelligence (BNI) is the Emberleaf Republic's civilian foreign intelligence service. It is roughly analogous to the real-world Central Intelligence Agency of the United States in scale and mission; the BNI is tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from all over Boesia. The bureau's original purview was just that-- information & logistics related to national security. However, the last decade has seen the BNI's mandate expand to include covert actions, paramilitary operations, and counter-terrorism in addition to their traditional human-intelligence duties.
Structure
The BNI is a federal agency under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Its overall leader is the Director of the BNI. The bureau itself has a main executive office (overseen by the director and their staff), as well as a number of Secretariat Divisions (overseen by Division Secretaries) that specialise for the agency's many mandates.
History
Originally, the military was responsible for all foreign intelligence operations. However, as the Emberleaf Republic grew in influence and its intelligence needs became more vast, it made more sense to restructure the intelligence apparatus. The BNI serves as the civilian foreign intelligence service, and is the logistical hub that connects all other ELR intelligence offices (such as the offices of military intelligence and the Domestic Security Service)
