Question: What is the equivalent of the agency that appoints members of the public company accounting oversight board in the country that had the most conflicts from 1500s to mid 20th century?

<P0-S0> Two Board members must be Certified Public Accountants. <P0-S1> The PCAOB has five Board members, including a Chairman, each of whom is appointed by the SEC, after consultation with the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Secretary of the Treasury. <P0-S2> If the PCAOB Chairman is one of them, he or she may not have been a practicing CPA for at least five years prior to being appointed to the board. <P0-S3> Each member serves full - time, for staggered five - year terms. <P0-S4> The Board's budget, approved by the SEC each year, is funded by fees paid by the companies and broker - dealers who rely on the audit firms overseen by the Board. <P0-S5> The organization has a staff of about 800 and offices in 11 states in addition to its headquarters in Washington. <SEP> <P1-S0> A number also have names based on Financial Authority, such as the Financial Services Authority of the UK or Financial Supervisory Authority (Sweden) or variations such as the Financial Services Agency (Japan). <P1-S1> There is no common name for securities commission or financial regulatory agency in each country. <P1-S2> Naming has become more complicated as some governments have consolidated or merged organisations and given them a wider remit. <P1-S3> They sometimes contain the term securities and commission. <P1-S4> Such as the Securities and Exchange Commission of the US or Securities and Futures Commission (Hong Kong). <SEP> <P2-S0> in terms of ship categories, greek companies have 22.6% of the world's tankers and 16.1% of the world's bulk carriers (in dwt). <P2-S1> an additional equivalent of 27.45% of the world's tanker dwt is on order, with another 12.7% of bulk carriers also on order. <P2-S2> shipping accounts for an estimated 6% of greek gdp, employs about 160,000 people (4% of the workforce), and represents 1/3 of the country's trade deficit. <P2-S3> earnings from shipping amounted to €14.1 billion in 2011, while between 2000 and 2010 greek shipping contributed a total of €140 billion (half of the country's public debt in 2009 and 3.5 times the receipts from the european union in the period 2000–2013). <P2-S4> the 2011 ecsa report showed that there are approximately 750 greek shipping companies in operation. <SEP> <P3-S0> Referring to great power relations pre-1960, Joshua Baron highlights that starting from around the 16th century and the rise of several European great powers, military conflicts and confrontations was the defining characteristic of diplomacy and relations between such powers. <P3-S1> "Between 1500 and 1953, there were 64 wars in which at least one great power was opposed to another, and they averaged little more than five years in length. <P3-S2> In fact, Joshua Baron points out that, in terms of militarized conflicts or confrontations, the UK led the way in this period with nineteen such instances against; Russia (8), France (5), Germany/Prussia (5) and Italy (1). <P3-S3> In approximately a 450-year time frame, on average at least two great powers were fighting one another in each and every year." <P3-S4> Even during the period of Pax Britannica (or "the British Peace") between 1815 and 1914, war and military confrontations among the great powers was still a frequent occurrence. <SEP> <P4-S0> the first european to colonize what is now the federative republic of brazil on the continent of south america was pedro álvares cabral (c. 1467 / 1468 - c. 1520) on april 22, 1500 under the sponsorship of the kingdom of portugal. <P4-S1> from the 16th to the early 19th century, brazil was a colony and a part of the portuguese empire. <P4-S2> the country expanded south along the coast and west along the amazon and other inland rivers from the original 15 donatary captaincy colonies established on the northeast atlantic coast east of the tordesillas line of 1494 (approximately the 46th meridian west) that divided the portuguese domain to the east from the spanish domain to the west. <P4-S3> the country's borders were only finalized in the early 20th century.
