Makkada government

The government of Makkada has a strong, centralized monarchy, led by a sultan, and a large bureaucracy separated into ten agencies, each led by a vizier. Term limits on the sultan prevent them from serving more than ten consecutive years. Each decade, the council of viziers elects a new sultan, generally one of their own.

## Agencies

### Coin

The vizier of coin is responsible for the four pillars of the economy: gross domestic product, quality of life, currency worth, and net exports. Coin is split into two branches: data and analytics and monetary policy. The most important cadres of D&A are the **administration of statistics** (AS), which is separated into long-run and short-run statistics (LRAS and SRAS, respectively) and **administration of derivation** (AD), which collect statistics monthly, yearly, and by the decade and publish them for citizens, the sultan, and business owners. The cadres in MP are the:

* A**dministration for currency** (AFC), which monitors and publishes exchange rates daily
* **Ministry of coin** (MC), which handles printing and destroying Makkadi money
* **Open market operations** (OMO), which buys and sells bonds and private debt
* **Ministry for monitoring trade** (MMT), which supports merchants
* **Chamber of Pecuniary Institutions** (CPI), which regulates Makkadi banks
* **Monopoly Regulation** (MR), which monitors industrial organization and market power to prevent monopolies and oligopolies from forming
* **Ministry of Utility** (MU), which organizes education and outreach to inform citizens of their rights and helps connect them to the economic resources they need to improve their quality of life

The vizier of coin is general a detail-oriented policy wonk who relies on either a big-picture deputy or, more likely, the sultan for guidance and direction. Coin handles by far the most data of any department.

### Development

Development ensures that all government workers have the resources they need to operate efficiently. It also oversees the examinations and takes seriously its responsibility to prevent cheating and corruption. Its four cadres are:

* Government culture
* Ministry of continuing education
* Worker utility data and analytics
* Ministry of exams

### Health

The vizier of health is generally a spiromancer with a focus on healing and many employees are also spiros, with a variety of specialties. Health has two branches: preparedness and response. The response branch includes:

* **Administration of medical infrastructure** (AMI), which supports private hospitals, manages public ones, and projects the future needs of the Makkadi population
* **Administration of doctors** (AD), which certifies doctors and their schools and monitors their performance
* **Healthcare data and analytics** (HDA), which collects data on outcomes, experimental treatments, and prices

The preparedness branch includes:

* **Help and assistance to providers in emergencies** (HAPE), which is responsible for mobilizing standby resources and getting them to hospitals and other places of need during disasters
* **Ministry of disaster data** (MDD), which collects data on previous disasters to model the effects of future disasters
* **Holistic simulation and emergency exercise preparation** (HSEEP), which uses data from MDD to design exercises that will prepare provincial governments for future disasters

### Infrastructure

Infrastructure maintains Makkada's dams, roads, farmland, irrigation systems, and cities and plans new projects. It works closely with Health's preparedness branch to ensure Makkadi infrastructure is robust and resilient to disaster and create regulations for private structures, and with Coin during recessions, when Infrastructure acts as an employer of last resort. It has two branches: maintenance and future projects, broken into lifelines:

* Food
* Water
* Healthcare
* Safety
* Shelter
* Education
* Religion

While each ministry has its own secretary—for instance, the secretary of food iInfrastructure maintenance, or the secretary of future healthcare infrastructure projects—they work closely with one another and generally share staff.

### Religion

The vizier of religion is an elai by tradition and the department only focuses on non-Sudhas in Makkada in order to tax them. The five cadres in Religion are the:

* **Department of temples** (DOT), which maintains temples all across Makkada,
* **Department of the holy and sacred** (DHS), which protects sacred relics and locations, such as the three mesas
* **Department of proselytization** (DOP), which spreads Sudhaism to other lands
* **Department of celebration** (DOC), which organizes holidays and celebrations
* **Department of education** (DOE), which educates elai and the public about the word of God

### Scholarship and Art

The vizier of scholarship and art oversees a wide range of grants and scholarships meant to encourage creativity and cultural activities throughout Makkada. In recent years, S&A viziers have also used their position to increase equality between across ethnic groups and clans in Makkada. S&A is separated into two branches: scholarship and art, with no sub-departments.

### Spiral

Spiral is separated into two branches: internal and diplomatic. Internal duties are mainly protecting the spiral tower, though in times of crisis, the vizier may be called upon to temporarily shut down access to the spiral. Diplomatic duties include maintaining a strong relationship with the spiral guard, Kuan-Seprum army, and Seprum silver hand.

### Spiromancy

Spiromancy is separated into two branches: education and maintenance. The education branch facilitates the spread of magical knowledge across Makkada and includes a department dedicated to excavating and understanding old scripts left in the spiral. The maintenance branch oversees routine, day-to-day operations, including tattooing new citizens and certifying mage specialties. The newest department in Spiromancy focuses on ciphra techniques and how to block them.

### Trade

Trade is separated into three branches: diplomacy, spice paths, and Forest management. The diplomacy branch places ambassadors in important cities across the Empire, greets and houses foreign diplomats to Makkada, and works with Coin to maintain and update trade deals. The spice paths branch ensures all Makkadi trade routes remain safe for travelers, which includes keeping statistics of deaths in the Forest and interviewing survivors after a disaster. Forest management is an esoteric department that studies a wide range of data to try and find patterns of death or calamity in the Forest, understand its movements, and develop up-to-date maps.

### War

War is generally considered to be the weakest of the agencies as the sultan has control over the only standing army in Makkada: the harem guard. The vizier of war interfaces with leaders in the Kuan-Seprum army and may consult with Trade and other agencies when their expertise is required.
