They are a country surrounded by countries that either dislike them or want them wiped from the face of the earth. It only makes sense that they have a significant intelligence and spying industry.

The genocide they're undertaking does place that industry in a whole new light, of course.

Worth note their leaders and allies are bereft of morality.

We might run their history in a slow motion since the year of inception, and then see who is trying to do all the wiping.
