Does your nation spy on other nations?

[Vanale]

No..

[Etzopia]

Yes, we blew the pipelines of -REDACTED- and have also attempted to start revolutions in Van--Redacted-a-REDACTED=l

[Grand Eurasian Union]

Yes. We spy on {REDACTED} and {REDACTED}

[United Earthlings]

Certain questions only beget more questions.

That question just so happens to be one of those questions.

Whose, answer is entirely dependent on a multitude of questions, some of which are not listed below for the sake of brevity.

Are you now or likely to be in the future, a threat or potential threat to the security of the Commonwealth?

Has your national government and/or private companies international policies brought you at any point now or in the future into conflict with those policies of the Commonwealth?

Does your national government support and/or condone any rogue elements whether within your own national borders or within the borders of other sovereign nations that in some way conflict with the national and international policies of the Commonwealth?

Is your nation allied to, friendly with or hostile against {enemies with} any nations that meet the above criteria?

If your nation or any of its citizens were to truthfully answer any of those basic questions above and their response was deemed unsatisfactorily, you have your answer.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Minoa's spying powers is depends on whether it is in the public interest to do so and if the regime in question, whatever it may be, is a threat to Minoa's existence or democratic society.

[Fatatatutti]

Are you now or likely to be in the future, a threat or potential threat to the security of the Commonwealth?

If you condone slavery, genocide, torture, etc., then yes, we are a definite threat to you. You'd be well-advised to stay off of our oceans.

Your spies might be interested to know that Fatatatutti Intelligence is having an Open House this week. The first three secrets are free but you'll have to make an effort to find the rest. The special in the cafeteria is bacon-wrapped lasagna.

[Union of Sovereign Socialist Republics]

Maybee.

[Yukonastan]

That is a very good question.

Which unfortunately only poses more questions. Questions that could jeopardize national security... or an independent reporter's neck.
Hence, Yukonastan will neither confirm nor deny any allegations of espionage, attempts thereat, whether successful or not, or raids on hostile safehouses, or suspected hostile safehouses, attempts thereat, whether successful or not, or banning of espionage, or attempts thereat, whether successful or not, or acts of sabotage, attempts thereat, whether successful or not, in past, present, and future tenses, by anyone.

That is all.

[Fillicia]

The Fillician Herd keeps its eyes open for potential aggressors, so the answer is yes.

[The Flood]

Of course. We must, if we are to ascertain their weaknesses, and plot out our course of conquest, and the best way to convert their wicked citizens to the glory of the Flood.

[The Saint James Islands]

In most cases, no. The Commonwealth Bureau of Security and Intelligence only does this to countries deemed rogue states and countries with a known record of militarism, as these would be the seedy types that would threaten our Islands.

[Liyasan]

In most cases we do not spy on other national entities. However, we do spy on nations that have been considered as threats to our national sovereignty, be it through presumed economic imperialism to even sponsoring religious extremism.

[Arlenton]

We would never do such a thing.

[Vox Columbia]

most of the information about our spy network is strictly classified, but Columbia have one of the greatest spy networks in the world so ...careful what you say.

[Urran]

Of course we do. If anyone near us starts any type of nuclear program or has different political views or goals we want to know everything

[Doperland]

We don't spy on other nations, we *cough*, 'Politely ask' our allies and our enemies alike for information about their countries.

[Guerro]

Only nations that we have hostile relations with, such as Wraland.

[Need a Name]

Yes, we do. Not that anyone in the government would admit it.

[Valkalan]

The government actively conducts surveillance operations on hostile nations throughout the globe. The wide export of our IT products has been immensely helpful...

[Republic of Minerva]

No we do not, constitution limits spying.

[Margno]

Yes, extensively. It's one of the ways we get away with not having a military.

[Qorchelia]

Maybe...

[Fatatatutti]

The Takeapenny Arsenal has what we believe to be one of the most complete collections of small arms in the world; the goal is to have a sample of every weapon manufactured anywhere on NS Earth. Some of these weapons have been obtained legally, others through more clandestine means - i.e. by our intelligence agencies.

For more complex weapons systems such as armoured vehicles, aircraft and ships, of course it is not practical to obtain physical specimens but we do try to get the blueprints.

We also have an extensive collection of evaluation reports by the foreign armed forces who use those weapons.

The bulk of our intelligence-gatherng activities, however, is concentrated on trying to guess the intentions of our potential enemies.
