Ministry of State and Education

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 Isatri Dominion. 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 Isatri Dominion. 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 Isatri Dominion, resources are required for future conquest and rule. As such, the Ministry of the Interior is focused upon:

1. The amassing of credits for expenditure by the Isatri Dominion for its collective good
2. The identification and/or acquisition of material resources for both military and civilian betterment
3. The maintaining of civil order within the borders of the Isatri Dominion.

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 Isatri Dominion, and signs of disloyalty or treason must be brought and will be brought to the Ministry of Law.

(OOC-wise: Ministry of State deals with fees, taxes and tariffs as needed to fund guild expansion and activities Ministry of State could also direct crafters in the guild to produce specific items as needed by the Isatri Dominion)
