To; Director of the Committee of State Security, Kundang Karpo
From; Bureau of Ideological Analysis
Subject; Nadiya, and a review of the Kerisian General Operation in relation to Stagnant Ascendancy.
---------------------------
The Nadiyan Confederation (Nadiya) remains an ideological anomaly within the world, and yet equally, a valuable player in the world stage, most especially within Keris. Originally, Nadiya was excluded from the Kerisian General Operation (KGO) and Operation Stagnant Ascendancy because of the fiercely independent All-Nadiyan Communist Party (ANCP), and the country's very strict laws in political financing, thus making any forms of influencing near impossible. However, recent events within Nadiya have warranted that we take a look at the country once again, as one of the country's 5 (6) constituant republics, has recently become a Soviet Socialist Republic. This effectively means that the internal balance of power has shifted, as previously, only the Lesnovian Soviet Socialist Republic (L-SSR/LSSR) remained the only properly left wing republic in the Confederation. It is worth noting that the Nadiyan Confederation, on a federal level at least, operates under neoliberal laissez-faire trade policies, but befitting it's status as a global anomaly, operates an almost socialized economy internally. This year, another republic joined Lesnov, with the Radin Soviet Socialist Republic forming (R-SSR/RSSR). There is pressure from both republics for the other three republics to convert to a similar model.

This is an immense opportunity, as a red Nadiya would boost connections immensely for Xsampa. Nadiya is functionally a trade hub for the far north, and as such, a friendly Nadiya would allow connections, and allow the CSS to re-enter Majatra, something which remains functionally impossible due to a total lack of connections and assets within Majatra. This would also have the side effect of boosting the credentials of global socialism, as only three socialist states exist in the world at the moment. Xsampa, Utaristan and Tukarali. Despite the contentious relationship with Utaristan, another socialist state could perhaps add pressure to Utaristan, and force them to adopt a more conciliatory outlook. Idealistically, this could also allow for the reformation of SocIntern (Socialist International). Even with a fiercely independent ANCP, the objective could switch from influencing to supporting the ANCP in gaining electoral gains in federal elections.

However, this would be an operation of significant difficult. Due to the incredibly strict financing laws within Nadiya, we would lack the capacity to provide funding to the ANCP, and give them support. This leaves of course, organizational methods of assistance, but this is more difficult due to the almost labyrinth complexity of Nadiyan federal law. This leaves little room for support. Traditional means of support, such as think tank contributions and party organization meetings are also more difficult, due to the rather ambivalent relations between the ANCP and currently applicable party's within Xsampa. Furthermore, and arguably the most pressing issue, a lack of assets within Nadiya. Even with proper ties with the L-SSR, operations in all of Nadiya will be particularly difficult and it will take considerable time to establish a coherent network. Time that may not exist, as the current pressure movement may fizzle out within that time, and may not emerge again.

It will be an incredibly risky operation, and beyond potentially losing assets, we can very much see relations between Nadiya and Xsampa damaged, or in the worst case scenario, relations with the Kerisian Empire (of which, Nadiya is a member of) damaged, which will inadvertently hurt our efforts in Egelion. This can also see trade warfare, as Nadiya is the biggest trade partner in Keris for Xsampa, and losing them could be a significant blow. An upsetting one.

As such, this operation will be, ultimately up to the CSS for evaluation on whether it is worth it or not. If Operation Polar Sunset is enacted, then the goal is to simply establish a network and maintain every protocol possible to avoid detection, or ensure plausible deniability. Traditional means will need to be foregoed. If anything seems amiss, the Operation will be voided, and the plug will be pulled and all assets will be instructed to leave as soon as possible. Because of the incredibly lax immigration laws that Nadiya holds however, getting assets into Nadiya will be easy, and due to trade relations, we have a basic set up to work with. All assets, and the assigned spy master will need to exercise incredible caution. Mistakes are acceptable elsewhere. But not in Nadiya.
