National Bureau of Investigation

The National Bureau of Investigation (srb. Narodni istražni biro) is the domestic intelligence and security service of the United Provinces and the nation's prime law enforcement agency. It is one of the most renowned and most feared agencies throughout Antarctica as it is very effective and strict in its job, and is led with an iron fist by the brutal director James Edward Humphrey, often shortened to J. Ed Humphrey, who has been the agency's director since November 2013 and remains so until his death in February 2045 at the age of 80.

History
It was founded in 1905 as the Bureau of Investigation. In 1947 it was turned by President Julien Lawrence into the National Bureau of Investigation as Snowiny effectively became a fascist police state. In 2003 after the end of the civil war and a Republican victory the NBI became an independent organization, and under J. Ed Humphrey it became more powerful than ever before in its history, so much that President Simon McClark once said he himself is afraid of the NBI's growing influence in the country's politics.
