I felt it necessary to produce a guide as to how exactly the Universal Union runs things on Blim Co. So... here you go.
Command Structure
On Blim Co, the Universal Union's workers (CWU), police force (MPF), and special police force (OTA) mostly serve independent from one another. They are centralized by the creatively named Central Government, which consists of the Ministers, Overseer, and Administrator/Advisers. The Central Government have three main purposes: They create laws, control the legal system (they reside over the JURY MPF division), and issue orders to the police forces.
Central Government's Branches
The Central Government is composed of various ministries, all dictated by a single minister. The ministries are:
- Security: Managed by the Minster of Security; has control over who is accepted into the MPF, issues orders to the MPF, and has authority over anything pertaining to the security of the State, such as the legal system.
- Property: Managed by the Minister of Property; has control over housing, stores, building usage, and anything else regarding the State's property.
- Information: Managed by the Minister of Information; manages the flow of information throughout the state, has usage of State Broadcasts, and has complete jurisdiction regarding the censoring of information. Usually works alongside the Minister of Security.
- Labor: Managed by the Minister of Labor; represents the Civil Workers' Union in the Central Government, and, accordingly, controls the distribution of goods throughout the state.
Note: Ministries are always subject to change.
The Overseer
The Overseer serves as the centralizing factor to the Ministers, and reports only to the Administrator of Earth and to the Advisers. The Overseer has jurisdiction over the appointing of all Ministers, and can overrule a minister's decision with permission from the Advisers. The main purpose of the Overseer is to ensure the Ministers do not engage in internal conflict, do nothing to destabilize Universal Union control, and to carry out the will of the Administrator of Earth. The Overseer also has symbolic meaning, intended to serve as a character to be glorified and be seen as a role model; he also is a figure designed to be feared by those who question the Union's authority.
