| <ic>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.

| __TOC__
| |
| The Imperial Civil Service was founded in its current form in the reign of [[Imperial_history#.2822_YE_-_34_YE.29_Reign_of_Emperor_Giovanni_the_Peacemaker|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 [[Game_overview#The_Civil_Service_and_magistrates|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.
| |
| | |
| The Civil Servants who attend Anvil are generally based at the Civil Service Hub, located roughly at the centre of Anvil. However, their work takes them across various parts of Anvil, as is outlined [[Event schedule|here]].
| |
| | |
| Civil Servants are all NPCs played by crew. Their job is to allow the game to run effectively in character - preventing players from being bogged down in administration or bureaucracy. The roles are designed on in OC level to be incorruptible - PD will ''never'' run plot in Empire involving the corruption of Civil Servants, including Magistrates.
| |
| | |
| ==Institutional Civil Servants==
| |
| These civil servants are linked to specific Imperial Institutions to ensure their smooth operation, and can be found at Anvil performing their respective roles over the course of each summit.

| | |
| The [[Scrutiny#Constitutional_Court|Constitutional Court]] is composed of a number of magistrates and Civil Servants whose job is to ensure that the motions passed by the [[Imperial Senate]] can be implemented in accordance with the Imperial Constitution. Members of the Court have a number of their own responsibilities, particularly the Auditor of the Imperial Treasury, who is responsible for ensuring the [[Master of the Imperial Mint]] receives a report on the accounts of the Imperial Treasury each summit. These Civil Servants sometimes attend sessions of the Senate to provide important further context on the opportunities and powers available to it.

Other bodies of the Civil Service also employ Prognosticators within their own areas.
| |
|
