NO SERIOUS THREATS IS NATIONAL SECURITY REPORT
 
ODERVELD - LEUCHTFEUER
 
Interior Ministry, December 19, 5662: ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER has learned the Interior Ministry has prepared its annual security report with input from the Buro fur Innere Sicherheit ( BIS) which handles internal security including counterintelligence, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) which carries out espionage externally, the regular police, the criminal investigation division, the border guard and the special capital police.  Information from military intelligence including the Soteria Air Defense System is provided by the Defence Ministry while the Foreign Office has provided its insight from contact with the international community.
 
It appears that no actual threat of military action currently exists against the Bundesrepublik.  The long time allies of the Bundesrepublik in the   Humanitarian Alliance are pretty much in isolation so that alliance can be said to be largely moribund.  On the other hand, ties with the Dorvish Government of the King and Kaiser have been renewed together with military cooperation.
 
The long game policy of the Foreign Office of pursuing free trade and non aggression pacts has to a large extent meant very few enemies. The attack by the depraved one time rulers of the backward nation of Kirlawa long ago is one of the few exceptions.
 
The international landscape has changed a great deal over the centuries and the Bundesrepublik’s parliamentary democracy is no longer a  typical style of government among the more powerful nations with monarchy again becoming a prominent feature. Some are democratic none the less, some considerably less so.
 
This leaves the Bundesrepublik out of much of the international interaction of the truly powerful.  The Foreign Office has consistently over the centuries preferred and pursued interaction with nations that treat their own citizens well and are trustworthy regardless of the particular form of government.  This has been followed even though occasional isolationist tendencies show up in some parties from time to time.
 
Internally, the Bundesrepublik has had and still has quite a diverse spectrum of political opinion particularly around to what extent religious bodies should be allowed at all or have any influence and whether the means of production should be publicly or privately owned.
 
What has been resolved is those questions will be resolved by the Bundestag as will other issues. The BIS does not find any serious organized effort to overthrow the authority of the Bundestag.
 
Yes there  are Metzists at universities who talk about revolution and a few students listen. And there are clusters of middle aged passed over field grade officers talking to each other over drink after drink about how it would be better if the military ran everything.  We know who they are and know they are currently harmless.
 
And there are some monarchists but they are monarchists in a general sort of way with no identifiable  dynasty to rally around. The vast majority of military personnel believe they have a stake in the modernizing of the Bundeswehr and its ongoing professionalism whether politically they tend to be conservative, monarchist, Metzist, religious zealot or whatever.
 
The report thus does not anticipate immediate threats whether internal or external, but vigilance should not be relaxed nonetheless.
