Ministry Information
The Ministry of the Census
The Ministry of the Census is the center of citizen management for the region. The ministry manages citizenship applications and citizenship verification for Union Elections. On the forum, the ministry manages the "Citizenship Counter" subboard. We verify nation eligibility and process applications as they come in. Due to the nature of the ministry's work, we do require that those involved with the ministry are not involved in partisan affairs (as we do deal with election material). The MoCensus has also taken over the duties of the defunct Ministry of Education is the information safe-house of the region, providing and maintaining the array of information the region has, including but not limited to; the members of past & current administrations, informative/educational texts on NationStates and the regional laws (past and current). This furthers the aims of the Ministry by informing and educating Citizens and Residents alike on the many trial and tribulations of the region, times the whole region holds dear in its collective history, and so much more. The Ministry is run by the Minister of Education, who is currently Phoenix who ordains the assistance of Scholars, and Historians to assist him in the daily operations of the Ministry who are lead by a Junior Minister. Scholars are expected to handle global functions of the regional information, such as; creating, modifying, and maintaining unassigned topics of information. Scholars are also expected to answer questions and direct citizens and residents to appropriate topics. Historians are expected to maintain assigned topics of information, they are prohibited from creating, modifying or maintaining anything outside of their assigned topics. Historians are also expected to answer questions and direct citizens and residents to appropriate topics as well as teach classes on regional and NS affairs.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs deals with all foreign matters for the government. The ministry works in concert with the Prime Minister to make decisions that affect the region's relationship with other regions. The ministry is based upon a strict hierarchical structure wherein the Prime Minister is at the top as Chief Diplomat, The Minister of Foreign Affairs is directly below them as leader of the Ministry, any Deputy Ministers are below the Minister, and finally, ambassadors are below the Deputy Ministers and report to them. Service in the Ministry begins at the bottom as an Ambassador. Ambassadors are sent to regions where they fill out a diplomatic visa and fill our regional consulate with information. Ambassadors watch over their assigned region(s) and write monthly status reports. Serving as an ambassador is a prestigious position and it certainly helps propel aspiring players up the political latter. Ambassadors will be required to post foreign messages whenever a monthly report is made available by the Minister. Next, an ambassador may be promoted to Deputy Minister. A Deputy Minister watches over a portfolio of regions that we have relations with and they ensure that assignments are completed. Finally, one day, a member of the ministry may decide to take on the tough position of minister. The position requires a keen perception of foreign affairs. It requires leadership ability and decision-making skills. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a very fun Ministry to participate in and you are certainly guaranteed to make a new friend or two in your travels across NationStates as a representative of the Union.

The Ministry of Culture
The Ministry of Culture is designed to provide an enjoyable experience to all members of the region, though one does not have to be a citizen to gain membership. The MoC contains two subdivisions; Minecraft and Roleplay. Since both aforementioned subdivisions are separate within the ministry, it is entirely possible to have two different experiences once joining. Our Minecraft subdivision consists of a server (on Minecraft) called Unioncraft, where citizens and residents of the UDS can spend time together away from NationStates. Our roleplay server is a place where anyone interested can roleplay as a nation. The server has been around for a while and is currently in its third generation, with the first lasting for nearly three years. The second generation lasted briefly with a reset to 1920/1940s before a third reset took it to 2016. Though the current server is more UN-oriented than it was before, members do not need to have experience with UN roleplay. There are no requirements to join either section of the MoC as a member, any person wishing to become staff are expected to be fairly active. Prior experience with moderation in any roleplay is not required to apply but will result in a greater chance of being accepted.
