ODP

The Oficz Dziefięce Statu (Office for the Defense of the State) is the national intelligence agency of the Republic of the Two Crowns. It was founded in 1972, when it replaced the Śrewica Siekiertacie Noconalej (National Security Service, ŚSN). Originally founded as a department of the Ministry of Interior, the ODP was transformed into a separate government agency under the direct supervision of the chancellor in 1989. It is responsible for intelligence, counterintelligence and government electronic security, including telephone wiretaps.

The ODP regularly makes it to the news headlines, most notably in 2006, when Roman Kościołany, who had been head of the organization since 1989, died in Japan under mysterious circumstances.
