The National Salvation Council (NSC) is the ruling military junta of Oportia established following the 1744 Oportian coup d'état. Formed on 19.XII.1744 AN, the Council seized power from the democratically elected government of Federal Representative Marcel Vermeuil in the aftermath of the Corsair Resurgence.
Led by Commodore Joseph Fouche, the Council suspended the Constitution of Oportia, dissolved the Federal Congress of Oportia, and established military rule, effectively ending the Second Oportian Republic. In the Port de Huile Declaration, the NSC justified its actions by citing the Vermeuil administration's suppression of intelligence that could have prevented the Corsair Resurgence, deception regarding the fate of captured Admiral Henri Boulanger, corruption in reconstruction contracts, and violation of constitutional procedures following a no-confidence vote in the Chamber of Deputies.
The Council operates according to the "Four Pillars" policy outlined in the Port de Huile Declaration: limited duration of military rule, protection of fundamental citizen rights, maintenance of international commitments (particularly to the Concord Alliance), and transparent governance. While the NSC has promised eventual elections and a return to civilian rule, it has not established a specific timeline for this transition. The Council's leadership structure is dominated by military officers, with Fouche serving as Chairman and Head of State, supported by Vice Admiral Camille Dufort as Vice Chairman and Defense Secretary Marcus Reynard as Secretary-General. The NSC has received mixed international reactions, with cautious responses from Concord Alliance partners and varying degrees of recognition from other nations. Domestically, the Council enjoys substantial public support due to Fouche's popularity following his naval victories against the Confederacy of the Dispossessed, though opposition has emerged among urban intellectuals, civil society organizations, and supporters of the deposed government.
