Imperial Civil Service

The Civil Service shall serve The Throne and the people, and be bound in oaths of loyalty to the Empire. They will be civil in their dealings and treat each citizen by their virtues, without prejudice or favour regardless of wealth, nationality or title. They will choose amongst them those who will serve as magistrates, to ensure the law is a friend to no-one but instead the servant and the master of all.

From the Imperial Constitution

The Imperial Civil Service was founded in its current form in the reign of Emperor Giovanni.

Members of the Service are IC oath-bound, and the crew who play them are bound OOC, to the impartiality and neutrality that are the finest traditions of the Service.

As such, they do not vote in any elections, as that would undermine the reality that they are neutral supporters of the Empire.
