Policies and procedures for State administrators are given in this section.

At present, this Handbook assumes that States will have at the minimum a Chancellor and an Exchequer.

In the traditional feudal system, different States could have differing systems of administration, and the flexibility of feudalism is one of its attractions for our purposes——therefore, certain States might conceivably not have these Offices such as they are conceived of here.

Nevertheless, the policies and procedures should be relatively portable in such situations.

Administrators are Ministers of the State, that is, exercise Office on behalf of the Rulers. It is important to emphasise that this exercise is in trust, and that therefore right of establishing policies and procedures belongs to the Rulers, not the Ministers, though they should of course be established taking account of the wise advice of the Ministers in question, as it is they who actually do the job.
