The Ministry is an organization founded by Albert Graff after the infamous 10 Years of Anarchy. Deciding to move on with a brand new life, Graff decided to create a safe haven for his loved ones and followers, creating a place that can be described as a 'paradise' on Earth.

## Laws, Economy, Government

The current head of the Ministry is Albert Graff, founder and brain behind the whole idea. He governs in a mixture of a monarchy with the Ancient Rome Republic senator system. The leader also displays four senators that act as viceroy's and administrate the place if Graff is unavailable. They are known as the Elite 4. The current Elite 4 is composed of second in command of the Ministry Illyricus, along with senators Cookie, Kuro and Bernice.

The Ministry is overall a very peaceful place where the inhabitants of the habitable dimensions live their daily lives unbothered and happy. One is always free to leave if they wish too, and will always be welcomed to return.

The Ministry holds good relationships with a lot of countries and cities on Earth. It draws their main economy from negotiating and trading with these countries and helping them if they are in need. Ministry often serves as a 3rd party which offers fair judgement or presides over events in case of possible conflict. Ministry on political scene avoids from having favorite candidates or influencing the elections and government of other nations for their favor, a lesson which Graff took both from pre-Apocalypse past and his contemporary times as a Ice Tyrant. Despite this, the Ministry hides a dark side, and is willing to cooperate with criminals and perform underhanded experiments if they’re for the greater good.

## Military

The military of the Ministry is a varied bunch. On one hand, you have a small army composed of soldiers personally trained by the best warriors of the place. A single Ministry soldier is as brave and strong as 10 common soldiers, as they’re trained since little to be as fierce and loyal as possible. They are called the Blessed Ones, and are the elite of the whole organization, only deployed in circumstances of crisis. There are about 700 Blessed Ones in the Ministry at the time this is written.

They mainly carry swords and wear a full blown suit that hides their appearance completely.

        Both their sword and suits were done in a collaboration project between Illyricus and chief scientist Damon, who decided that uniting their genius with the technology both possessed would allow for a better result. Though not divine, they come close to it. They are personally commanded by Graff himself.

However, the bulk of the army is made by mechanical automaton soldiers designed by Illyricus. These soldiers are stronger than a common human, but can be beaten by any decently powerful being, divine or not. Their strength resides in their numbers and how cheap they are to make, also being implacable soldiers that never get tired, fight till they are completely destroyed and can fly. The Automaton Army’s signature weapon is a mechanical spear they can form out of their bodies. This army is commanded by the first of the Seven Fake Heavenly Maids, Obsidian.

Additionally, the Elite 4 itself can also act as a military unit in cases of crisis, being granted a personal army and the permission to go to the battlefield.

## Headquarters

Contrary to what some believe, the Ministry isn’t situated in any country or land mass. Rather, the entirety of it is situated inside a floating golden Cube. The cube is a spatial fortress created by Illyricus himself. It reflects normal attacks, being practically invulnerable and only able to be damaged by god level weapons of great power.

The Cube moves freely through the Earth and can travel through dimensions, being able to even reach Heaven and Hell.

The Cube has the size of a very small country (around 61,2 km²), but inside it there is a complex system of pocket dimensions connected to both each other and to real world places (created too by Illyricus), each one for a different purpose. It’s estimated the Ministry holds inside it at least 30 dimensions currently. The size of the dimensions range depending on the purpose. Some only contain a single location, while others have the size of the Earth.

It is possible to travel from one dimension to another if you get permission for that. However, some dimensions are forbidden for the common population due the hostile environments placed in them, and can only be visited by the higher ups and members considered strong enough for that. The dimensions can be repaired if they’re damaged, and are checked and guarded daily by Illyricus and his Maids.

## Relationships

**Earth:** Ministry and Earth have the best relationship out of 3 realms. Due to both Albert's fondness for it and charitable policy. Many Ministry members come from this realm which certainly had shaped their perspective positively. The Chancellor of Security Council is friendly with Ministry although not all world leaders are as enthusiastic, some temporarily ally themselves due to benefits Ministry gave them, some hide their distaste for Ministry, others are openly antagonistic and are for breaking the treaty with Ministry.

**Valhalla:** Initially it had been positive relationship but after Hadamas and Shen Solomon Grewlwind joined it soured the relationship, though there are attempts at fixing the bridge. Pleiades
are well liked amongst the common people especially Electra, Maia and Alcyone due to their service during turbulent times and great rule, even some Angels respect them. Though majority of higher-ranking Angels and current nobility seems to abhor them either due to marring with human, either out of jealousy or to gain approval amongst high-society. There's other reason much more honest, Pleiades are Royalty with legitimate claim. Although there are other alive noble families, none are as prestigious. They are direct descendants of Titans, who hidden their true identity to preserve their life and avoid being wed to unwanted suitors. Coupled with fact that Pleiades are rather well liked in Valhalla could subvert the current order, if they or their children wanted to take the rule there, even if Albert Graff wasn't a god, he was a powerful warrior and transcendent being which put him on par with other gods.

**Helheim:** It is most disliked dimension and one which Ministry has no contact with since founding, since Asmadias assassination attempt on Sterope during concert, had destroyed any hope of bettering relationship.
