The Ministry of State and Education is a branch whose responsibilities govern external diplomacy with foreign powers and the management of controlled worlds, acting as the state emissaries of the Imperium. Additionally, they oversee the educational prospects of the Realm. The Ministry of State, Education, and Commerce governs the internal affairs, primarily maintenance and conservation, of life within the Imperium. The current ministry is under the direction of His Honor, Chancellor Fo'nodow, Lord Chamberlain to the Emperor, High Councillor, and Minister of State and Education.
Role of the Ministry
For the eventual resurgence of the Imperium, resources are required for future conquest and rule. As such, the Ministry of the Interior is focused upon:
- The amassing of credits for expenditure by the Imperium for its collective good
- The identification and/or acquisition of material resources for both military and civilian betterment
- The maintaining of civil order within the borders of the Imperium.
The latter-most of these qualities does not grant this ministry extralegal or even legal authority to deal with those who disrupt such order, but it is instead among their responsibilities to instill cohesion within the population and loyalty to the imperial family and the Imperium, and signs of disloyalty or treason must be brought and will be brought to the Ministry of Law.
(OOC-wise: Ministry of the Interior levies fees, taxes and tariffs as needed to fund guild expansion and activities Ministry of Interior could also direct crafters in the guild to produce specific items as needed by the Imperium)
