This page discusses the classifications and gradings of offices within the Lein Dynasty Imperial Government.
The bureaucracy evolved by the Lein Dynasty to manage its vast and now centralised empire was, as the empire itself, organised on a level of multiple tiers. Unlike previous geographically-divided agencies, though, the administration was now functionally divided, with each ministry maintaining representatives in the provinces.
Ministry or Ordained Office
Articles: Six Ministries of the Lein Dynasty, Lein Imperial Office for the Outer Kingdoms, Lein Imperial Office for the Palace
The Ministry (Itrani Dasabo), of which there are six within the government, as well as the so-called Ordained Offices (Itrani Teinel Sabo), make up the top tier of Lein government. Amongst them, the Ministries are headed by a Sagare, or Minister, while the two Ordained Offices are each led by a Sagor ne-Tein, or Ordained Official. These men are by law of First Rank, Proper Precedence.
Office
Ministries are in turn subdivided into Offices, or Sabonon. Each office was responsible for a certain area of responsibility within its ministry, related to the overall sphere of influence of the ministry itself; their powers were often great but highly restricted to their own respective areas. They are led by Overseers, or Sirtenon (singular Sirte); but there are less restrictions on the rank of officials holding such posts. Most officials with a rank of Fourth Rank, Proper Precedence or above are eligible to be thus appointed.
Section
The smallest division of administration, and often a fluid one with new sections being set up or disbanded as needed, the sections or "Durinon" are responsible for most of the field work of their offices. The representatives of ministries in distant provinces, or certain local administrative branches, are often known as sections since they do not fit the functional scope of an office.
