Peoples' Intelligence Agency

⚠️THIS IS A RP ARTICLE AND NONE OF THIS HAPPEND IN MINECRAFT⚠️ The Peoples Intelligence Agency (PIA), known informally as the Agency, is a foreign intelligence service of the federal government of the Tovarisha, tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the server, primarily through the use of human intelligence (HUMINT) and performing covert actions. The PIA reports to the Orsovans and is primarily focused on providing intelligence for the Khadir and Villay of Tovarisha.

PIA was disbanded shortly after the disappearance of the acting director Bombus

Tovarisha
Anti-Drug Unit of the P.I.A. "accidentally" shipped a ton of cocaine into Tovarisha as part of an effort to infiltrate and gather evidence on drug gangs. The cocaine was sold on the streets in Tovarisha. No criminal charges were made in this incident, however one PI.A. officer resigned and another P.I.A. officer was disciplined. The PIA issued a statement on the incident saying there was "poor judgment and management on the part of several P.I.A. officers"

Torture techniques
There is evidence that PIA has funded academic research, unwitting in some cases, which was then used to develop harsh interrogation techniques.

Waterboarding
Waterboarding is a method that gives the subject the sensation of drowning, and may cause permanent damage to the lungs and other parts of the body. Some individuals being waterboarded, who may have had preexisting cardiac or respiratory disease, have died under the method.

The PIA used waterboarding, and other interrogation techniques against three suspected spies and known traitors of the rebel town of kypoini.

Rendition and disappearance
Extraordinary rendition is the process of clandestinely moving a prisoner from where he was captured, to an interrogation center in a country not subject to Tovarishan law regarding extreme methods of interrogation. Some reports indicate PIA personnel operated the prison and performed the interrogations, while others state that while the PIA delivered the prisoner, third-country intelligence personnel did the actual interrogation.
