That is until now, with the SDLS government announcing the creation of the NZS, a bill creating the NZS is soon to pass congress and many within government circles are enthousiastic about its creation.
The bill describes the responsibilites of the new NZS and the authority it has over certain issues. It shall be led by a director that is appointed by the Grand Governor and can also be dismissed by him at any given time. The NZS will also gain a budget of more then 2 billion DTE a year to operate and shall have responsibilities like protecting the Grand Governor, defending the people of Deltaria through covert means, and acquiring information that is critical to the security of Deltaria.
Some activists fear that the NZS could also be used for many other things including toppling foreign governments and spying on Deltaria's own citizens. The government has denied this however stating that the NZS will merely be created to make Deltaria "a bit safer" and ensure its leaders are well protected.
In addition to the creation of the NZS the Grand Governor, Jakub Mrázek, also announced that his government is working on a plan to update and expand the armed forces and that a bill doing so will be proposed within the next few months. However according to government sources the Governor and cabinet ministers want to have their major overhaul passed first and ensure a stable economy is present before making radical and expensive changes to the armed forces.
