Line 277:
In the 21st century, Mexregiona’s primary strategic focuses have been on ensuring reliable access for trade in the High Rotantic and in intelligence gathering. Both of these aims are furthered by Mexregiona’s membership in the [[Conference for Amity and Cooperation]], a pact of four Novaran countries designed for military cooperation, intelligence sharing, and the mutual furtherance of other shared goals.
 
The Mexregionan intelligence service, MF, (''Meksrídzeionai Felderítés'', “Mexregionan Reconnaissance”) is legally organized as a sector of the Army, but for all intents and purposes is administered separately. The Director of Intelligence reports directly to the President, not to the Chief of Staff of the Army, though in times of declared war the Army Chief of Staff can legally override the Director of Intelligence in some matters. MF enjoys broad latitude under the law to act clandestinely overseas, though is significantly tempered in what it can do within the borders of the country. In 2020, the last year statistics are available, the top-line amount of funds allocated to MF was SHD $446,880,110 compared to a total budget for the entire federal government of SHD $24.8 billion—about 1.8% of the entire budget. Under the National Security Act of 2001, MF is exempt from nearly all budgetary reporting requirements except for the top-line figure of total allocation for the entire agency. Since 20042001, the ratio of intelligence spending to the total budget has remained within 1.75% and 1.9%, peaking in 2004. The federal government does not comment on what its intelligence gathering priorities are, nor does it confirm or deny any alleged MF actions overseas.
