I merged some of Ken’s notes with work I am doing to layout the overall structure of the Reich in 2065. I am not sure how much of this will actually appear in the final work of the book (if there is one) but it is an interesting endeavor all the same. This is a work in progress.

The Foreign Ministry is responsible for maintaining diplomatic relations with the Empire of Nippon, and the RSI, as well as the various colonies of the solar system. All Reichs ambassadors report to this office. The Foreign Minister may also meet with foreign heads of state on behalf of the Führer.
Reich Ministry of Interior (Rudolf Biel)
This ministry is responsible for the appointment of Gauleiters (party leader of a regional branch of the NSDAP), as well as control and inspection of public utilities, housing, engineering and construction. It also theoretically controls the Kriminal Polizei (Kripo) and the Ordnungs Polizei (Orpo: regular city, rural, and border police), although in actuality these are subject to the SS. Civil Service jobs relating to the Interior Ministry include: housing, construction,and utilities inspectors; civil engineers; construction workers; Kriminal or Order Police,and immigration officers.
Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda (Markus Wirz)
This powerful office controls all forms of printed and broadcast media, aswell as all forms of art and entertainment. The Ministry also runs the official news agency DNB (Deutsche Nachrichtenburo) , which in turn regulates all other news coverage. Civil Service jobs relating to this Ministry include: news coverage and broadcast personnel; arts and entertainment inspectors; and editors.
Reich Ministry Of Post And Communications
This Ministry operates the postal service and regulates all public communications companies, such as Siemens Telefunken, and AEG Telefunken. By controlling this organ it is a simple matter for
2 / 8 government agencies to spy on its citizens. It is the Ministry behind the development of the Netz and the conversion of all communication mediums to it.
Commission of Public Netz Management (Malte Schwefel)
A special branch of the Ministry Of Post And Communications, this branch is in charge of the levels of security, and who can access those levels of the Netz.

Reich Ministry of Finance (??)
The Ministry of Finance is responsible for the collection of taxes and other revenue for the Reich. The main offices of the Ministry are as follows:
RFA (Reichsfinanzamt)
The notorious tax collection office. RFA agents are well known for their thoroughness and ruthless methods of dealing with fraudulent or delinquent tax payers, and have even been known to conduct armed raids on occasion.
RZD (Reichszolldienst)
The Reichs Customs Service inspects transports and cargo entering or exiting all Reichs territories. They even have a fleet of small System patrol craft for boarding and searching starships in space. In cases of a national emergency the Führer may assign control of these RZD vessels and personnel to the OKN (Naval High Command).
Geldshutzpolizei
Geldshutzpolizei are special uniformed police responsible for the guarding and transfer of currency and precious minerals for the Reich. This also includes shipments from the Reichsbank to other banks, which actually overlaps with the Ministry of Economics.
Reich Ministry of Economics (??)
Coordination of businesses, banking, government loans, and the production of currency are responsibilities of the Ministry of Economics. Its primary offices are:
The Reichsbank
3 / 8 The Reichsbank is the central bank for the Third Reich. It handles a mixture of both government and private financial affairs including: the printing of currency; control of foreign exchange; manipulation of rates and tariffs; financing for government Ministries; commercial and mortgage loans; maintaining accounts for the military, SS, and other government offices; storage of the nation’s gold reserves; and regulation of all private and savings banks.
In 1939, all commercial and mortgage banks were nationalized and placed under the direct control of the Reichsbank. Those banks which only offer personal loans and savings accounts were left in private hands, but still regulated by the government.The Reichsbank’s gold reserves increased dramatically during the War of Unification, as billions of Reichsmarks in gold was looted from occupied territories. Most of the reserves from the Bank of England, and other nations vanished in the chaos and found its way to Berlin. Bars were melted down and re-cast to bear the Reichsbank imprint and the retroactive date 1938. However, rumors still abound of a missing portion of the gold from Fort Knox, that was hidden away by the Americans shortly before the occupation.

This council is made up of selected representatives of the more importantbanks and businesses in the Third Reich. Its function is to advise the FUhrer and Minister of Economics on economic policy.

The Ministry of Colonial Development coordinates the activities of government, business, and private citizens in the exploration, settlement and exploitation of newly discovered worlds. It also handles many of the other Ministries duties, until local offices and government can be established. Some of the more important offices are:
Reichskommission flur Erforschung und Erweiterung (RKEE)
