    Default Naming help

    Hello guys I need a bit of creative help from someone who (preferrably) speaks native english.

    Im looking english translations to certain names or entities of my rp and currently am not satisfied of a certain name.

    So guys any good ideas how to rename a government ministry/bureau etc big place which handles the internal affairs of the country.

    This place is lead by a Minister of .... and it's divided to several departments like Department of Public Security, Department of Private Properties, Department of Department of Employment etc etc.

    The country is highly bureaucratic and lead by single absolute power political party that everyone should (must) agree with.

    So any good ideas for naming this whole pakcage?

    Ministry of the Interior - your home office, responsible for the internal workings of your country
    Bureau of Agriculture
    Bureau of Civil Service - coordinates the hiring and support of civil servants
    Central Purchasing Service - bulk supplies, building purchases, office rentals.
    Bureau of Energy - managing power plants
    National Intelligence Service - counter-intelligence and internal security
    Protection Service - bodyguards for VIPs.
    Fire Service
    Forestry Service
    Labor and Safety Bureau
    Children Services
    Disability Services
    Employment Services
    Unemployment Office
    Health and Safety Service
    Pensions Bureau
    Public Works Service (water)
    Canals Department
    Sewers Department
    Sanitation Department
    Transportation Service
    Road Bureau
    Vehicular Investigation Service
    Ministry of Foreign Affairs - your state department that maintains diplomatic relations
    Diplomatic Service (Embassies and related civil service)
    Foreign Intelligence Service - your spies that collect Human Intelligence
    Ministry of Defense - military forces
    Bureau of the Army
    Bureau of the Navy
    Submarine Service
    Bureau of the Marines
    Bureau of the Air Corps
    Defense Intelligence Service
    Bureau of Military Justice
    Military Investigation Service
    Military Prison Service
    Ministry of Justice - police and judiciary
    Police Service
    Forensic Investigation Service
    Prison Service
    Criminal Investigative Service (responsible for investigating cases that the police cannot handle, either spanning large areas of the nation or international crime)
    Ministry of Finance - your treasury and the tax people
    Bureau of Printing and Engraving - the people who produce the nation's currency
    General Accounting Office - The group that makes sure the books balance.
    Ministry of Health - runs hospitals and certifies doctors and nurses.
    National Health Service
    Ambulance Service
    National Records Service - Births, Deaths, etc.
    Ministry of Education - the people who run the schools and certify colleges and universities

    Ministers are in charge of the top level, reporting to the Prime Minister/head of government as part of their cabinet.

    Secretaries manage the services and bureaus, reporting to the minister above them.

    Undersecretaries manage departments within the services and bureaus, reporting to the secretary above them.

    Directors manage offices/regions within the various ministries, services, and bureaus. So if you had a Public Security Office #9 under the Ministry of the Interior, National Intelligence Service, then its head would be a director.

    One thing about bureaucracies - they like to fight among themselves. So having multiple ministries with different services they're responsible for will help push the bureaucratic feel.

    Does this help?

    Note: Anyone has suggestions for completing this list?
