Control Centre Espionage Association (CCEA)

The Control Centre Espionage Association [CCEA]; Ez: Seksjuunespionaazche vi Errantouszaal [SSEZ], (24th January 2020 - 1st January 2021), commonly referred to by its English acronym of CCEA, was the official state intelligence and counter-terrorism agency of Emando. Created near the establishment of the 2020 Directorial Federation Constitution, the CCEA was tasked with the informational logging and referring to Emando leadership on activity that aimed to destabilise the sovereignty of Easway and delegitimise the right of the Easwegian people to self-governance, as well as countering threats to national security. The CCEA operated both online and offline. The organisation was superseded by the Defence Corps (Eschgau-Emando) - now named Home Corps - on the 1st January 2021.

## History

The intelligence service, from the 19th December 2017 election of Emizerri as head of Easway, was originally led by the Control Centre of Emando, which contained the Chief Curator and Grand Marshal, later the Chief Curator and President. With the disestablishment of the Provisional Government on the 14th January 2020, through the ratified constitution, Easway required a new intelligence agency. Members of the Easwegian Government saw delegitimisation and anti-Easwegian messaging had grew among foreign forces, due to increased promotion by the ECLC (Easwegian Committee for Language and Culture) of the Ezerryen Easwegian Language.

The CCEA was created in joint co-operation between founders Csyeigo, Emizerri, Neicou and Samme. Csyeigo, as Senior Director of the National Directorate, served as its primary leader and operated much of the day to day operations of the organisation. It embodied the values of the Directorial Federation and is remembered for helping stabilise Easway during the trials and errors of the current constitution, during 2020.

The CCEA supressed the political organisation known as *1925 (*sometimes calling themselves by *Kingdom)*; the year Norway claimed official sovereignty over the entirety of Svalbard, including territories encompassing Easway, through the Svalbard Act. 1925 espoused anti-Easwegianist beliefs, including denouncements of the Easwegian nation as a non-identity, or a conspiracy. Referring to Easwegians by the slur 'Ezzies', coming from the Ezerryen Easwegian word for Easway, 'Ezerrye', 1925 occasionally called for 'extreme measures' to be taken and their official dogwhistle to storming the capital was *7410*, which contains digits of the Government Palace. Easway often denounced Easwegian leaders, including Emizerri and the 1st head of Urdport municipality, Wighammer, who is of Norwegian descent. 1925 was also conspiracist, claiming that the Easwegian Government controlled Guillemot birds and that the aim of the Easwegians was to radicalise people towards Nordic communism.

### CCEA Administration During the Great Silence

Multiple threats to the security of the sovereign Easwegian state and to Emizerri, by 1925 and other suspected affiliated entities led him to begin to directly manage affairs of the national militia and, for his own safety, between the 13th and 29th of April, administer affairs from the Control Centre, based in the south of the country. This period is named the Second Great Silence by Easwegians, due to it being the second period of absence of Emizerri from public life (the first being from June to September 2019).

The Directorial Federation Constitution stipulated that a Regent could be chosen in the Chief Curator's stead, to lead as head of state, although Emizerri did not select one. Therefore the CCEA assumed acting head of state status and showed ability to protect the Easwegian populace and the state. Specifically, the organisation worked round the clock to liaison with officials to ensure the safety of Emizerri for the future to come and make sure he was alive and well, without failure.

During this period where Emizerri directly administered affairs of the national militia, Emizerri also often pondered on possible additions to the constitution, sometimes in long thinking during isolation, which he described as a spiritual endeavor.

Through the advice of the CCEA to choose a Regent, on the 10th May 2020, the Governor of Boriopa Aleksou Meizchernei Desourrë was chosen by Emizerri and the government as the Regent of Boriopa.

### CCEA Funding of the Communist Ouroboros Party of Easway

Records have shown that the CCEA funded and helped establish the Communist Ouroboros Party of Easway (C.O.P.E.), to help combat 1925's operations. By the establishment of the federal Council on the 25th May 2020, 1925's operations had been successfully diminished.
