Schwerdtan Defense Council
From Scandia
The Schwerdtan Defense Council (Schwerdter Verteidigungsrat or SVR in Teuvian) is a senior executive level advisory group in the Schwerdtan Government. Chief among its responsibilities, in peace time the SVR takes decisions on all measures for the preparation of the national defense. To this end, the SVR considers matters of foreign policy, military issues, and the security situation across Scandia, around the region, and within Schwerdt.
Although less well known to average Schwerdtans than the Schwerdtan Cabinet, the SVR exercises considerable influence over governmental affairs. The SVR generally meets each weekday and when called by the Chancellor.
