My personal thoughts are that intelligence and military should be separate portfolios. Particularly in GCRs, intelligence concerns are far greater than merely provision of battle related information to the military. I've always regarded militaries as capable of conducting their own intelligence operations without the need for them to have a separate intelligence department. But if everyone else disagrees with that, and thinks the two divisions are good like this, I don't particularly mind. I will say I find this whole hierarchy to be something of a mess. Delegate > Field Commander > The two division heads > Everyone else. I would have suggested simply: Delegate (CinC) > The divison heads, War Lord (or whatever) and Spymaster. Otherwise we have this elaborate chain of command that has as far as I can tell little purpose. I suppose the problem with this would be intel would no longer be subject to the appointed commander though, which I guess was the whole point of the bill, so I don't know. It's just my opinion that the whole thing is messy - no other military I can think of has such a convoluted command structure. My final point would be I dislike the PM appointing the Commander. Partially because I don't like the PM office as noted elsewhere, and more importantly because I think the military head should always be appointed or at the very least confirmed by the Delegate, since they must remain CinC. A final note; betrayal of information is just treason, I don't think it qualifies as high treason. The latter is usually reserved for absolutely colossal betrayals.

SAT=Stupid-Ass Test. It's basically a gigantic test you have to take in High School, and your grade is one of the most important factors in determining if you can get into college and, if so, what kind of college you go to. Grading scale is out of 2400. Generally, it's agreed to be absolutely f*cking idiotic because its English sections fail to have any bearing on whether or not you'll be successful, the essay is based on questions you'll never need to answer in your professional career, it's easy to game by using a few strategies (Which helps to entrench cross-generational income inequality because this means that those that score highest are typically the ones whose parents can afford hundred-dollar tutors who know all the tricks to arbitrarily increase your percentage without teaching you anything you'll need in college or that's useful in life), and it has significant cultural biases that have been shown to be generally harder for minorities to answer the questions. But, luckily, it's supposed to stop sucking any minute now.
