Ministry of the Churat (Napoleon's World)

The Churat, the common word for the Ministry of the Churat (Ministrie de Churat), is the primary vehicle of state security and foreign intelligence in the French Empire. The modern Churat's roots go all the way back to the shadowy 19th century organization from which it draws it's name, although the modern Churat is in fact a moslty public-realm entity, despite occasional evidence that there is still a secret arm.

The Churat is responsible for collecting public intelligence overseas, covert operations both foreign and domestic, and for the security of the French Empire at the national level. It is the largest single-entity governmental employer in the world, employing over 3,500,000 people in the Empire proper, its colonies and in embassies (official statistic).
