The VID (Velikoslavian: Веритатски Информатсионноые Директсия) is the primary Security agency of the Tsardom of Velikoslavia. It is a monolithic organization that operates outside of the chain Velikoslavian bureaucracy, answering directly to the Tsar of Velikoslavia and the Statsministris of Velikoslavia. The VID focuses on domestic intelligence, foreign intelligence, counter-intelligence, electronic warfare, government communications security, and operative-investigatory operations.
The organization has a long and oftentimes controversial history, starting out as a secret police force under Alexis IV, which was used to suppress dissent amongst the populace until it was reformed under Nicholas I in 1974, where its extra judicial powers were removed. Despite several reforms, the organization still has a storied history of allegedly being involved in many clandestine operations. The directive has been the subject of many controversies, including human rights violations, wiretapping, propaganda, and allegations of weapons trafficking.
Despite all VID records being kept extensively classified, in recent years Alexis V has officially released some of the directive's older records, including operations committed during both Partisan Wars.
