**The Administration** is an expansive political-military network. Headquartered in Ground One, it is the successor of the Old Administration following the Administration Failure. Unlike its predecessor, however, the Administration's existence is much less secretive and is in fact an outright major governmental entity that ordinary citizens know and can interact with.

## Description

The Administration accredits TASKFORCE companies with the goal of combating interdimensional corruption. The Administration controls the Ground One City Management alert system, and classifies Counterside Effects by their level. It has access to satellite data to better document on the ground corrupted objects and help redirect TASKFORCE companies towards locations where they're wanted. The Administration Executive command is responsible for the assigning of Free Contact missions towards TASKFORCE companies.

Counters are rated by the Administration Counter standards and given a ranking based on their CRF output. The Administration used to only call up Grade C counters as reserves, but due to a serious manpower shortage, even Grade D counters are being considered for active duty.

## Command

#### Executives

* Supreme Administrator
* Class 2 Administrators (also known as Seniors) — They have the authority to access the Administrations most sensitive secrets and command it's troops. There are six Class 2 Administrators, one for each Administration Direct-Control City.

#### Guidance Squads

The Administration keeps guidance squads in place to make sure new rookies do not die to Shadow attacks on their first mission as they "reek" of the Normalside. Its extremely dangerous for rookies to venture in the Counterside without a high-ranking counter.

#### Investigation Corps

The Administration has the ability to conduct detailed investigations.

## Administration Direct Control Cities

The Administration is the authority government of at least six major cities around the globe, called Administration Direct Control Cities (ADC). They are also sometimes called as Administration-Rebuilt Cities, implying they were derelict cities destroyed by corruption disasters rebuilt by the Administration. Theses cities are equipped with anti-Corruption defense facilities.

## Trivia

* It sometimes gives out plaques of appreciation for jobs well done.

Hilde: It's because FNGs like you and those ALT kids reek of the Normalside.

Joo Shiyoon: That's also why the death rate is so high for Counters during their first dive mission.

Joo Shiyoon: The Administration has guidance squads for this reason.
