[b][u]Concerning State Secrets and Information Security[/u][/b]

[list=1][*]Certain government activities and documents require secrecy to be effective. For this reason we are hereby establishing a system by which activities and documents are to be categorized, classified, and given clearance.
[*]There will be five (5) levels of categorization. These levels are to be (in descending order):
[list=a][*]Top Secret
[*]Secret
[*]Confidential
[*]Controlled Unclassified
[*]Unclassified[/list]
[*]Categorization will be determined based on certain criteria. The criteria will be:
[list=a][*][u]Top Secret[/u] - Information that which whose release is liable to cause considerable loss of life, international diplomatic incidents, or severely impact ongoing intelligence operations.
[*][u]Secret[/u] - Information whose side-effects may be life-threatening, disruptive to public order or detrimental to diplomatic relations with friendly nations.
[*][u]Confidential[/u] - Information that includes considerable infringement on personal liberties, material damage to diplomatic relations, or to seriously disrupt day-to-day life in the country.
[*][u]Controlled Unclassified[/u] - Information that will have effects such as distress to individuals, adversely affecting the effectiveness of military operations, to compromise law enforcement, cause financial loss or improper gain, prejudice the investigation or facilitate the commission of a crime or disadvantage government in commercial or policy negotiations with others.
[*][u]Unclassified[/u] - Information that will have either extremely limited or no detrimental effects to state security, law enforcement, or military operations.[/list]
[*]Each level will have special restrictions placed upon them regarding access. These restrictions will be based on an individual's security clearance. Security clearance is to be determined by a range of tests. Each level will have a special test that an individual must pass in order to obtain the new security clearance. In order to obtain a higher clearance an individual must have passed the tests for the level(s) below the new level. The tests and clearances are as follows:
[list=a][*][u]Access Level[/u] - Grants access to areas where sensitive materials may be housed. Does not permit the viewing of sensitive materials. Must pass the Access Test which is to verify the applicant's identity and personal associations. An applicant would fail this test if the applicant were using a false identity or was determined to have associations with organizations the government has deemed counter-revolutionary or terrorist in nature. May also fail for associations with foreign intelligence services.
[*][u]Basic Level[/u] - Grants access to Controlled Unclassified and lower classified documents and information. On occasion this level will grant an individual supervised access to Confidential information as their work duties require. Must pass the Basic Access Test (BAT) which is to verify the applicant's identity, personal associations, previous employment/education, and residence. An applicant would fail this test if the applicant were using a false identity, was determined to have associations with organizations the government has deemed counter-revolutionary or terrorist in nature, was employed at or educated in a questionable institution, does not have valid residency in Kirkland, or falsified their residency information. May also fail for associations with foreign intelligence services.
[*][u]Intermediate Level[/u] - Grants access to Confidential and lower documents and information. On occasion this level will grant an individual supervised access to Secret information as their work duties require. Must pass the Intermediate Access Test (IAC) which will check the criminal record of the applicant, check with the Committee on State Security, and perform an interview of the applicant. An applicant would fail this test if the applicant were to have a criminal record, show up in a CSS check as a suspicious individual, or fail the interview.
[*][u]Advanced Level[/u] - Grants access to Secret and lower documents and information. On occasion this level will grant an individual supervised access to Top Secret information as their work duties require. Must pass the Advanced Access Test (AAT) which will check the criminal record of the applicant, check with the Committee on State Security, perform an interview of those close to the applicant to discern their character, and perform an interview of the applicant. An applicant would fail this test in the applicant were to have a criminal record, show up in a CSS check as a suspicious individual, be determined to have negative personality qualities, or fail the interview.
[*][u]Full Access Level[/u] - Grants access to Top Secret and lower documents and information. Must pass the Full Access Test (FAT) which will check the criminal record of the applicant, check with the Committee on State Security, perform an interview of those close to the applicant to discern their character, and perform an interview of the applicant. This test will have a much more stringent standard than that used in the AAT. An applicant would fail this test in the applicant were to have a criminal record, show up in a CSS check as a suspicious individual, be determined to have negative personality qualities, or fail the interview.
