====== Integrated National Overwatch Council (INOC) ======
An international organization created to organize counter-intelligence and counter-terrorist efforts between states allied against the [[polemos:8th_age:factions:usc|USC]]. Charter membership included the [[polemos:8th_age:factions:ufpf|UFPF]], [[polemos:8th_age:factions:anthegalia|Anthegalia]], [[polemos:8th_age:factions:touyou|Touyou]], [[polemos:8th_age:factions:drakontas|Drakontas]], [[polemos:8th_age:factions:sildari|Sildari]], the [[polemos:8th_age:factions:umere|Emirite of Umere]], the [[polemos:8th_age:factions:herin|Commonwealth of Herin]], and [[polemos:8th_age:factions:lae_shina|Lae'Shina Federation]]. State membership was designed to be independent of the [[polemos:8th_age:factions:lida|Liberty and Independence Defense Alliance]] though overlap was significant and [[polemos:8th_age:philosophies:unionism|unionist]] participation was mostly ambivalent and informal.

INOC was headquartered in a leased government office in downtown [[polemos:8th_age:locations:agalos_city|Agalos City]], with a training campus southwest of [[polemos:8th_age:locations:dolmapolis|Dolmapolis]].
