Royal Ministries of Franerre
Rail and Highway Administration (RHA)
The Rail and Highway Administration, originally simply the Franch Rail Administration, is the Ministry tasked with setting standards for road and rail infrastructure, setting safety regulations, preventing accidents, and the maintenance and expansion of Franerre's land infrastructure.
Franch Aviation Administration (FAA)
The Franch Aviation Administration is the Ministry tasked with the safety of Franch civilian airspace by way of accident prevention, aircraft regulation, and, in conjunction with the BFGP, the screening of individuals and goods entering and exiting Franerre via air.
Ministry of Education (MoE)
The Ministry of Education is tasked with the public education of all Franch children all the way up to 10th grade, at which point children are free to join a private high school or college (which offer high school level classes) or enter the workforce.
Royal Institute of Progress (RIP)
The Royal Institute of Progress is unique among Franch Ministries, as it only one of two Ministries not based in Pareau, instead based in Alcasse. It is tasked with all forms of government research as well as partnerships with the private sector for research purposes. In addition, all government scholarships for higher education go through the RIP.
Ministry of Labor and Welfare (MLF)
The Ministry of Labor and Welfare is the newest, as well as the smallest of Franerre's ministries. Born out of the many compromises between the SNF and LPP, on paper, the MLF is tasked with the unemployment payments, welfare payments, and the investigations of safety conditions in Franerre's many industries, but in practice it is only capable of handling the last one with a startling degree of inefficiency.
Ministry of Justice (MoJ)
The Ministry of Justice is tasked with the domestic safety of Franerre's people via police and courts. The highest authority in the MoJ, the High Mandats, are appointed by the King of Franerre himself to serve for life, forming the High Council, containing 5 Mandats. Below them are the Major Mandats, appointed to each Barony of Franerre by their respective Baron who form the Major Councils, again with 5 Mandats, and below them are the Minor Mandats who preside over local jurisdictions and are either appointed by a city or town's mayor, or are voted on by the people directly, depending on the area, and who preside over cases by themselves. One interesting facet of the MoJ is the fact that there is one seat on the High Council reserved specifically for women, a tradition dating back several centuries into Franerre's history with the introduction of Queen Logale's law code. Though this is legally only required on the High Council, the tradition is often upheld in many of the lesser Councils. The current High Mandats are Duchess Camille Nohreau, Duke Phillip Ferroges, Duke Alexandre Dion, Duke Maxime Lyjon, and Duke Victor Brieppe. Another side effect of Queen Logale's impact on Franch law is the degree of influence the Queen has on the Mandat's decisions, often being called "the sixth Mandat," though legally the Queen holds no power in the Ministry of Justice.
Bureau of Foreign Goods and People (BFGP)
The Bureau of Foreign Goods and People is concerned with everything to do with Franerre's borders: immigration, customs, anti-smuggling operations, and other such tasks all fall under their purview. The BFGP collaborates with many of Franerre's other ministries, including the FAA concerning air travel, the MoJ on the prevention of land-based operations, and CWA on naval operations.
Ministry of Industrial Land Management (MILM)
The Ministry of Industrial Land Management is Franerre's largest civilian ministry, dealing with issues from a wide variety of sectors such as agriculture, forestry, mining, fishing, and another other large-scale use of Franerre's natural resources. The main purpose of the MILM is to ensure the health of Franerre's land via the prevention of overuse, the regulation of industrial waste, and the conservation of natural parks.
Royal Franch Military (RFM)
The largest ministry in Franerre, the Royal Franch Military encompasses the entirety of Franerre's army, navy and air force. On paper, the RFM is headquartered in Pareau, but in practice, most of the administration of the army and air force are headquartered in Setange, with the navy being the only department to be headquartered in Pareau itself.
Ministry of Commerce and Prosperity (MCP)
The Ministry of Commerce and Prosperity is Franerre's largest civilian ministry, only narrowly being beaten out by the RFM. The duties of the MCP are extremely varied, as it seems to have a hand in almost every pie in the country. The MCP subsidizes the construction of many new railways and airports, duties one might ascribe to the RHA and FAA. The MCP runs many government trade schools, picking up where the MoE leaves off, and deepening the understanding of said trades without the need of the RIP. The task of investigating labor disputes and the payment of unemployment and welfare were done by the MCP before the creation of the MLF. Though the MILM deals with the conservation of natural parks themselves, the MCP gets to determine what lands are national parks, with the MILM only able to give suggestions. Though the regulation of civilian crafts fall under the purview of the CWA, the regulation of industrial ships, such as international trading vessels and large fishing ships, are the duty of the MCP. In addition to all ascribed above, the MCP also sets tariffs for incoming goods, one of the few tasks that no other ministry could lay claim to.
Civilian Waters Administration (CWA)
The Civilian Waters Administration deals with the non-industrial applications of Franerre's waters, namely regulations involving shipbuilding practices and the safety of Franerre's waters, including naval anti-crime operations, mostly in tandem with the BFGP, and the rescue of civilians in any aquatic accidents. The CWA boasts a 50-vessel strong fleet consisting of small patrol boats.
Franch Foreign Affairs Administration (FFAA)
The FFAA is the ministry tasked with the creation and maintaining of Franerre's diplomatic relations abroad.
Franch Royal Gendarmerie (FRG)
Rail and Highway Administration (RHA)
The Rail and Highway Administration, originally simply the Franch Rail Administration, is the Ministry tasked with setting standards for road and rail infrastructure, setting safety regulations, preventing accidents, and the maintenance and expansion of Franerre's land infrastructure.

The FFAA is the ministry tasked with the creation and maintaining of Franerre's diplomatic relations abroad.
Franch Royal Gendarmerie (FRG)
The Franch Roayl Gendarmerie is Franerre's foremost intelligence service, dealing with both domestic and international intelligence threats to Franerre and it is only one of two of Franerre's Ministries not to be based in Pareau, instead based in Setange.
Franch Royal Gendarmerie Abroad (FRGA)
Although technically a branch of the FRG, the FRGA may as well be its own organization, as it has very little to due with its sister organization, only retaining the name and the same directors running the show. Whereas the other various branches of the FRG deal with domestic intelligence, the FRGA, as the name implies, deals with foreign intelligence gathering with both allies and enemies of Franerre.
