Seals

Each branch of government (Executive Branch, Administrative Branch, and the Judicial Branch) has an official seal as does every Department, Major position (such as the Major Executive, Minor Executive, Executives without a department seal, and the Speaker of the Administration), Agency, and the Triumvirate as a whole. Seals are the official symbol of these institutions and documents or proclamations issued by them are considered marked by these seals. The original Triumvirate seals that were drawn were all designed and created by Head of Intelligence Ascencia, many of the digital ones were put together by General Media and Head of Media Pembrook.

The Seal of the Universal Triumvirate is the national seal for the entire Universal Triumvirate. It is composed of a black and white color scheme (the national colors of the Triumvirate). The center of the seal contains a Great Horned Owl, the national animal of the Triumvirate, carrying the flag of the Union. Nine stars fly above the owl, three for each branch of government, three for each founding Executive, and three for each founding ideal. The words "THE UNIVERSAL TRIUMVIRATE" adorn the top of the seal while the phrase "FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE, WE RISE" adorn the bottom, a play on Zerouh's original statement during his debut: "For the sake of Justice, I rise".

## Branches of Government

### Executive

The Executive Branch seal is a bold emblem with a gray and dark blue color scheme displaying seven individuals at a table, Executives, representing the seven original Executive positions. At the head of the table on one end is the Major Executive, and at the bottom is the flag of the Triumvirate. The words "The Executive Branch of the Universal Triumvirate" adorn the top of the seal while the bottom states "INTELLIGENCE", a reference to the founding principle of Intelligence that the Executive Branch embodies.

### Administrative

The Administrative Branch has a seal which, plainly so, shows a large discussion chamber. This is to show the masses and the populace. On the top of the seal the words "The Administrative Branch of the Universal Triumvirate" are shown. Below them, the phrase "ORDER" is presented. This is a reference to the founding ideal of order which the Administrative Branch embodies.

### Judicial

The Judicial Branch seal is composed in a brown color scheme with a judicial building representing the strength and equality of the judicial branch. There are five stars, one for each Justice on the Supreme Court, with a large one to symbolize the Chief Justice. The words on the upper portion of the seal are "Judicial Branch of the Universal Triumvirate" and the text on the bottom states "JUSTICE", a reference to the founding principle of Justice that the judiciary and the courts embody.

### Underspeaker of the Administration

The Seal of the Underspeaker of the Administration is similar to that of the Speaker of the Administration in that it depicts a man speaking into a microphone, but he is speaking from the side rather than from the center (unlike the Speaker's seal, which is more central and more direct) to symbolize the fact that the Underspeaker represents the minority rather than the majority. The words "Universal Triumvirate" and "Office of the Underspeaker of the Administration" adorn the outside of the seal.
