Surveillance and censorship in Packilvania

Surveillance and censorship in Packilvania refer to the policies, institutions, systems and devices used to monitor citizens and control information in Packilvania. The Department of State Security is the government agency responsible for advising the government on and coordinating the implementation of surveillance and censorship policies. However, other organisations indirectly participate in the development and enforcement of surveillance and censorship policies throughout the nation such as the Packilvania Police Service, the Packilvanian State Security Agency, the Judiciary of Packilvania etc. This can include the interception of telecommunications, regulations on media content, the use of a nationwide camera surveillance system etc. Due to its heavy restrictions on the Internet and media and use of propaganda, Packilvania is often ranked poorly in metrics of media freedom and freedom of speech and thought. Government authorities such as Prime Minister Prince Luwadeen a-Harim Bedon have justified these policies as necessary to maintain public order and national security.
