The Federal Intelligence Agency (FIA) serves as the primary intelligence agency of the Oceanykan Federation, a sprawling yet hidden apparatus designed to navigate the treacherous landscape of Oceanykan power politics. Established in the aftermath of the Oceanykan Civil War, the Agency was born from the necessity of maintaining a unified front in a continent defined by independent statelets, ambitious men, and the competing interests of Earth's superpowers. Unlike traditional intelligence bodies that rely on a central monopoly of violence, the FIA functions on the principle of information as the ultimate currency, exerting a soft power that is essential in a nation where the central government’s physical reach is often restricted to the capital of Cestlep. The Agency’s true strength lies in its ability to manipulate the board through selective surveillance, blackmail, and strategic disinformation, ensuring that while a warlord may ignore federal law, they cannot ignore the skeletons in their closet that, coincidentally, the FIA knows of. While it remains primarily an internal security organism tasked with preserving the fragile federal union, the FIA is known to maintain clandestine cells abroad, monitoring defectors and foreign intelligence operations.
While the FIA prefers to exert soft power and manipulate its opponents into submitting to The Oceanykan Constitution, often times they will find a target too obtuse or too overconfident. For these particular cases, the Federal Enforcement Division is reserved, a special forces unit of unparalleled capacity for violence.
