The Pacitalian Central Intelligence Commission (PCIC) is one of the Pacitalian government's foreign intelligence agencies, responsible for obtaining and analysing information about foreign governments, corporations, and individuals, and reporting such information to the various branches of the Pacitalian government. The agency is headed by Nicolae Teodor Costica and has its main office in Timiocato, with secondary offices in other major Pacitalian cities. The agency maintains offices in countries worldwide, such as safehouses or tertiary bureaus.

The agency was most important in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s when it acted as a neutral diffuser to the cold conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. Nowadays, it ranks as the second largest intelligence agency behind the US' Central Intelligence Agency and still does carry some importance for Pacitalian foreign policy, but not to the effect of the CIA.
