Intelligence Community of the Empire of Daitō

   The Intelligence Community of the Empire of Daitō is a group of separate Imperial Daitōjin government agencies and subordinate organizations which work both separately and collectively to conduct intelligence activities which support the foreign policy and national security interests of the Empire of Daitō. Member organizations of the "IC" include intelligence agencies, military intelligence, and civilian intelligence and analysis offices within Imperial ministries. The Intelligence Community is formally overseen by the Office of the Minister of National Intelligence, or "OMNI", which is headed by the Minister of National Intelligence ("MNI"), who in turn reports directly to the Prime Minister of the Empire of Daitō. While there are numerous different agencies which fall under the Office's jurisdiction, in this post, only the three most prominent member-agencies will be discussed.

CIRA - The Central Intelligence Research Agency

Director: Ichirō Nakamura
Employees: 23,700 (estimate)

   Perhaps the most famous (or infamous, depending on ones' disposition) member of the Daitōjin Intelligence Community, the Central Intelligence Research Agency (CIRA), also known "the Company" in parlance, was established in 1947 following the Great War. Initially an outgrowth of the Tokubetsu Kōtō Keisatsuchō, or "Tokkō" as it is more frequently referred to, CIRA effectively took on said agency's mission with regards to foreign intelligence gathering, processing, and analysis. CIRA is an independent agency of the Imperial Daitōjin government, reporting directly to the Minister of National Intelligence, and it is tasked with providing intelligence for the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. Unlike the Tokkō, which is a domestic security service, CIRA has no law enforcement function and is mainly focused on overseas intelligence gathering, with only limited domestic intelligence collection. CIRA serves as the national manager for HUMINT (human intelligence), coordinating activities across the IC. It also carries out covert action at the behest of the Prime Minister. The agency also exerts foreign political influence through its paramilitary operations units, such as the Special Activities Group (SAG). It has also provided support to several foreign political groups and governments, including planning, coordinating, training in torture, and technical support. CIRA has, on numerous occasions, been alleged to have been involved in many regime changes and in carrying out both terrorist attacks and in assassinating—or planning to assassinate—world leaders. In recent years, the agency has come to be the subject of numerous controversies, ranging from human rights violations and digital wiretapping to spreading propaganda and allegedly becoming involved in drug trafficking. At the end of the day, however, none of these charges have been able to be definitively pinned on CIRA.

DTS - The Daihon'ei Tokumu Sōkan-bu

Director: LTG Heisuke Kirijo
Employees: 18,150 (estimate)

   The Daihon'ei Tokumu Sōkan-bu, or "General Intelligence Agency of the Imperial Military Headquarters", is an intelligence agency combat support agency of the Imperial Daitōjin Ministry of War which specializes in defense and military intelligence. As a component of the Ministry of War and the Intelligence Community, the DTS informs national civilian and defense policymakers about the military intentions and capabilities of foreign governments and non-state actors. It also provides intelligence assistance, integration and coordination across uniformed military service intelligence components, which remain structurally separate from the DTS. The agency's role encompasses the collection and analysis of military-related foreign political, economic, industrial, geographic, and medical and health intelligence. The DTS was formally established in 1958 and often works in partnership with CIRA in areas where their operations intersect.

TKK - The Special Higher Police Agency

Director: Jin Hiraishi
Employees: ~26,000 (estimate)

   The Special Higher Police Agency, or Tokubetsu Kōtō Keisatsuchō but more often known as the Tokkō, is the domestic intelligence and security service of the Empire of Daitō and is one of its principal national law enforcement agencies alongside the Kempeitai, the National Gendarmerie. Initially established within the Home Ministry for the purpose of carrying out high policing, domestic criminal investigations, and control of political groups and ideologies deemed to threaten the public order of the Empire of Daitō, from 1937 until the late '50s, the Tokkō came to be given the moniker of the "thought police", tasked with rooting out those ideologically opposed to the YFD and its political system. After the fall of the Yokusan system in the early 60s, however, the powers of the Special Higher Police were greatly pulled back, with its ideological controls entirely done away with the agency being retasked with counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal investigations.

The Imperial Household Law

   The Imperial Household Law of 1947 (皇室典範, Kōshitsu Tenpan) is a Fusanese law that governs the line of imperial succession, the membership of the imperial family, and several other matters pertaining to the administration of the Imperial Household. Passed during the Kunan era on February 11th, 1947, the law superseded the Imperial Household Law of 1889, which had enjoyed co-equal status with the Constitution of the Empire of Fusan and could only be amended by the Emperor. The current law, on the other hand, while maintaining co-equal status with the Constitution, requires the consent of the Diet to modify, however, changes are not proposed by the Diet, but rather by the Imperial House Council. The law can be read in its entirety here.
