Ransenari Security Service
The Ransenari Security Service (RSS) is the national intelligence agency of Ransenar. It is one of the main entities in the Ransenari intelligence community, along with the military intelligence elements of the Ransenari military, the Office for Internal Security, and the Office for Coast and Riverine Intelligence.
The RSS is responsible for intelligence collection, covert operations, and counterterrorism. It is policy for the organization to be separate from Ransenar's democratic institutions. Due to its lack of statutory foundations (no laws specify its structure and purpose), its objectives, roles, missions, powers, or budget are largely considered outside of the normal budget and governmental processes. The Ransenari Congress does have a secret Intelligence Committee that provides very close oversight and has a full view of the operations of the organization, but these processes are highly classified and contained.
The RSS is led by a Director, who is appointed by and answerable to the Lord High Steward. Its annual budget is estimated to be around $1.5 billion Ransenari erb. It is estimated the agency employs around 5,000 people directly.
