JIAN THREAT ASSESSMENT INDEX
In order to monitor and assess its geopolitical situation and security outlook, the JIAN monitors active and passive threats to the Jade Empire using the Ventrant-Constantine Scale of National Threat Assessment. This is a codified threat rating system developed by the Union of Worlds in the Ancerious Galaxy.
The Ventrant-Constantine Scale measures 5 metrics on a common scale; Military, Strategic, Economic, Political and Ideological threat. These measure the quality and projection abilities of their armed forces, their strategic weapon reserves, their economic strength and influence, their political influence and the existential threat posed by their ideology.
These metrics are constantly monitored and updated by the JIAN in conjunction with other government services such as the Kokubusho and the Foreign Office. A threat must rate Very High or higher in at least two metrics to validate the deployment of JIAN field assets. However, any threat can be remotely monitored by analysts and can be the subject of indirect operations such as |
