i- introduction

So far, we've seen that governments have a President and a Senate. But one of the most interesting positions you can have in the government is that of minister. While different countries use different names and varying attributions, there are some standard departments. Later on, we will explore, with the help of some leading experts, the direction theses ministries can take to achieve their goal.

ii- organisation

Typically, a department or ministry is represented by an organisation, the minister being granted access to it upon entering her functions. The ministry also traditionally has other members, including under-minister, department spokesman and apprentice. Their attributions vary according to the department. All the ministries make up the cabinet which is picked by the prime minister.

iii- finance

The department of finance acts as a budgetary office, allocating funds to other departments. If the government decides to have control over the currency rates, the finance department will traditionally own a national or central bank.

iv- industry

The role of an department of industry is to ensure the country has a stable market, and can also provide business loans, in conjunction with the finance department. Typically, its most important job is to make sure government owned companies run smoothly, that is not exceed planned budget too much.

The foreign affairs department is concerned with diplomacy regarding foreign powers. There attributions include negotiating with hostile or conflicting countries and keeping diplomatic ties well diplomatic.

vi- culture

The department of culture is usually run with the goal of educating new citizens, and to attempt to stimulate population growth through eYoungsters retention.
