The '''Department of Public Affairs''' ('''DPA''') is an executive [[department]] within the Commonwealth of [[Redmont]]. It is tasked with organizing and hosting server community events and contests, facilitating media grants, and managing private events. As a highly significant force in community outreach, the DPA serves as the primary bridge between the government and the player base. The department is currently headed by Secretary Spyders_crypt.
The '''Department of Justice (DOJ)''', formerly known as the '''Department of Legal Affairs (DLA)''' and originally the '''Office of the Attorney General (OAG)''', is the executive department tasked with '''defending the national legal interest''', and '''investigating and prosecuting crimes''' on behalf of the federal government. The department exists to protect the government and keep the country safe.


== History and Purpose ==
== History ==
The DPA was founded to act as the central hub for server-wide community outreach and entertainment. Through hosting events, promoting the server on social media, and managing public relations, the department maintains an active and engaged player base.
The Department of Justice was created in '''July 2020''' as the '''Office of the Attorney General (OAG)'''. During its early history, the Attorney General was not considered a department Secretary. In mid-2022, the OAG was rebranded to the '''Department of Legal Affairs''' before eventually receiving its current name. The Department of Justice remains the primary workplace for those interested in '''criminal law'''.


Historically, the department has been responsible for creating some of Redmont's most beloved traditions. Notable historical contributions include:
== Duties and responsibilities ==
* The creation of the traditional '''Presidential Roast'''.
The Department of Justice holds several key responsibilities:
* The development of '''DCTV'''.
* The implementation of seasonal events, such as the annual '''Haunted House'''.
* The spearheading of '''Red vs Blue''', the first server-wide event designed to be completely free of timezone restrictions.


== Leadership and Secretaries ==
* '''Defending the government''' and its national security interests
The Department of Public Affairs is led by the Secretary of Public Affairs, who oversees all operations, manages the department's budget, and sits on the President's Cabinet.
* '''Conducting criminal prosecutions''' on behalf of the state
* '''Handling litigation''' for ordinary prosecution and defence cases
* '''Upholding the law''' across all federal jurisdictions


* '''Current Secretary:''' Spyders_crypt (also known in the community as Soy Beer) is currently operating as the department's acting Secretary and nominee, though his initial nomination faced delays in the Senate due to a lack of quorum.
== Structure and operations ==
* '''Former Leadership:''' Former notable figures include KukkiNeko, who served as acting secretary in early 2026, taking the position on 14 March before a nomination hearing on 25 March. SnoWhitebeard is also heavily recognized for her foundational work and contributions to shaping the modern DPA. ''(Note: A complete historical list of every former secretary is currently unavailable in the public records).''
The Department of Justice operates through a structured hierarchy that includes distinct leadership roles and specialised operational units.


== Structure and Positions ==
=== Leadership ===
The DPA features a structured hierarchy with multiple specialized roles to divide its creative and administrative workload:
The following roles comprise the executive management of the DOJ:


; Secretary
* '''Attorney General''' The head of the department, serving simultaneously as the Department Secretary.
: Manages overarching department operations, fulfills Cabinet duties, and implements policy adjustments.
* '''Solicitor General''' Serves as the Deputy Secretary. In addition to acting as the second-in-command, this role oversees the Appellate Unit.
; Deputy Secretary for Media and Archives
* '''Lead Attorney''' Leads the Litigation Unit and directly supervises all prosecutors within the department.
: Assists the Secretary in leadership, with a central focus on overseeing the archives and media operations.
* '''RBI Director''' Leads the investigative branch known as the RBI.
; Media Manager
: Acts as a subteam leader. Assists in leading Media Advisors, votes on employee applications, and manages assigned media subteams.
; Event Coordinator
: Responsible for brainstorming, planning, and hosting official government events and community contests.
; Media Advisor
: Creative experts responsible for producing visual media content to promote the server.


== Daily Duties of Department Staff ==
=== Litigation and appellate units ===
For the lower-level and entry-level employees in the department, day-to-day work is highly creative, collaborative, and interactive.
The Litigation Unit handles ordinary prosecution and defence cases, while the Appellate Unit handles appeals. Both units share the following employment ranks:


=== Media Advisors ===
* '''Senior Prosecutor'''
Media Advisors are divided into specific subteams: Marketing, Photography, Videography, and Graphic Design. They are required to submit some form of visual media at least once every other week. On a daily or weekly basis, they:
* '''Prosecutor'''
* Attend government and community events to take photographs or record video footage.
* '''Trainee Prosecutor'''
* Fulfill inter-departmental requests for visual designs, logos, and event graphics.
* Brainstorm, record, and edit short-form videos (such as TikToks, trailers, or skits) to promote the server.
* Run in-game and Discord advertisements and discuss strategies to boost social media engagement.


=== Event Coordinators ===
=== Redmont Bureau of Investigations ===
Event Coordinators act as the logistical backbone of the DPA's public gatherings. They spend their time:
The RBI operates as the primary investigative force for the department and uses the following ranks:
* Planning the logistics, rules, schedules, and prizes for upcoming server events and contests.
* Collaborating directly with Media Advisors to request promotional graphics and advertisements for their events.
* Actively hosting events in-game, managing private event requests, and ensuring smooth operations and moderation during community gatherings.
