I acquired a little free program somewhere, though I no longer remember where, into which you input the following info about spies:
1) Country Employing
2) Name
3) Location
4) Focus (Either spying, or counter-spy)
5) Skill level (1-6)
Then you click the nice little button, and it rolls dice and adds skills and checks counterspies....and spits out a report.
This shows you for each spy whether they report or not, and how accurate their report should be. There's a chance, if there's an active counter-spy in the area, that they'll be supressed, preventing them from sending a report that round. Or even killed (which also prevents sending a report). For the counter-spy, there's a report of whether he detected any spies, and if so, it may or may not identify who the spy was he supressed/killed and who they worked for.
I say all this to ask....is there enough interest for it to be worthwhile for me to volunteer to take a list of the above info from each person interested, put it all into the system, and periodically request the data found by spies from the spied upon party and send it to the party doing the spying?
If there's enough interest, I would be willing to act as a clearing house for this. Thoughts?

To do this we would need an email address to contact you?
Stagonia is of course interested in this . . . it sounds vaguely nefarious . . . not completely vile . . . but Stagonia regularly sends out people of low moral character to gather information.
They are able to do this because virtually the entire vile lot of them are of low moral character.
Of course they are interested.

We would be most interested to participate in this most Byzantine occupation of courtly intrigue.

You bet! Please include Stollena and Zichenau. Contact me for any additional details you might need.
Best Regards,

Frankszonia would also be interested, however, our spies would be much more interested in industrial and commercial spying than military and political!
LOL
Either way, I'd be glad to participate just to add more quirks to the game ...
besides when some foo ... uh .. FRIEND decides to VOLUNTEER to undertake some drudgery to make the game more fun, I'm always glad to exploi ... uh ... utilize their generous offer ...

SO YOU NEED VERY THICK WALLS?
Precisely, the Presipality of Monte-Cristo has the immense pleasure to announce that, after full refection, the famous thermal baths are again open to the discerning visitors. Traditional water cures using the hot thermal springs are now complemented by a whole range of nursings using the sea water and its products : exotic massages with sea mud, immersion in warm seaweed…what the modern doctors call ‘thalassotherapy’. And no healing sojourn in Monte-Cristo would be complete without an abundant consumption of our famous ‘MC Green’, a very strong liqueur and medecine, requiring 3 years of maturation (and at least 80% alcohol) following a recipe elaborated a millenium ago by holly monks devoted to the welfare of humankind. The range of ilnness cured is incredibly wide, and besides it is renowned as a sovereign help to digest heavy meals or disturbing surprises.
The heavenly weather of Monte-Cristo makes it the Pearl of the Cote d’Azur; the local specialities of candied fruits, pralines and nougat, accompanied by our typical Anised Absinth long drink and our bubbly rosé, provide an important contribution to the pleasure of our guests. All in all, foreigners discover how much this little paradise is propitious to relaxed conversations and peaceful, unpassionate debate. Tension, aggressivity soon disappear here. No surprise that the Constitution of Presipality takes up only two short articles : -art.1 : Do no harm to your fellow man, -art.2 : This fairly understood, live as you wish.
Totally renovated, the Paris H. (pronounce : Parish) Palace Hotel had been rebuilt according to the best local tradition to keep unclement weather and annoying noises from disturbing our guests, i.e. with inner walls as extremely thick as the outer ones. Numerous boudoirs, smoking rooms and lounges (with free marquisetta, punch or sangria according to the day) are at the disposal of our guests, all with several padded double doors opening in different corridors. The staff is chosen by the Presipality for its total discretion, ‘deaf and mute’ being its motto.
The Presipapal Bank for Sustainable Development and Constantly Increasing Profit is fully characerized by two keywords : security and secrecy. A complex system of multiple passages and double stairs insures that within the building you’ll only meet (and be seen by) employees of guaranteed total discretion. Additionally, a system of underground passages allows, if wished, to enter and leave the Bank from several innocent shops nearby.
A note of warning : according to the Law of Monte-Cristo « ugliness rather than nudity being obscene », young and faily built people can go all naked (though most still wear shoes, and some form of head protection against the sun at its hottest) ; it became the traditional costume of the youth, weather permitting. Reciprocally, the whole year around people can wear masks as during the Venice carnival, nobody would even notice it (by the way, the Mardi Gras parade on Monte-Cristo Bourbon Street is not to be missed).
While discretion obviously forbides to mention names, more than thirty-seven Personages of High Breeding and Influence, coming from more than twenty-two Uropean Courts, are announced for the Opening of the Baths Season. Philosophs of insatiable curiosity such as Lady Pettygree, the Chevalier d’Eon and Milady de Winter a rumored to appear soon. It is hoped that such characters who, for professional reasons, tend to act and meet with great difficulty in remote points of our planet such as the Bahamas, will find how much more convenient it will be to go no further than Monte-Cristo.
In the name of the Country and the People, Louys, by heirdom and election POPP (Prince Ovationné par le Peuple comme Président = Prince Ovationned as President by the People) of Monte-Cristo, warmly welcomes our visitors.

We would be most interested to participate in this most Byzantine occupation of courtly intrigue.
And how eagerly all historians and philosophers of werstern Urope are wishing for some knowledge of BobXXII's so mysterious Empire!
The Soweiter League will be delighted to send ambassadors.
The Batrachian Empire will send its agents as well.
I would be most interested in this
I think that was from a satellite of Imagine Image (the folks who make Game Mapper). The link I have for it is:
