The Department of Public Affairs (DPA) is an executive department within the Commonwealth of Redmont. It is tasked with organising 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.

History and purpose

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.

Historically, the department has been responsible for creating some of Redmont's most beloved traditions. Notable historical contributions include:

  • The creation of the traditional Presidential Roast.
  • 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 time zone restrictions.

Leadership and secretaries

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.

  • 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.
  • 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 recognised 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).

Structure and positions

The DPA features a structured hierarchy with multiple specialised roles to divide its creative and administrative workload:

  • Secretary
    • Manages overarching department operations, fulfils Cabinet duties, and implements policy adjustments.
  • Deputy Secretary for Media and Archives
    • Assists the Secretary in leadership, with a central focus on overseeing the archives and media operations.
  • 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

For the lower-level and entry-level employees in the department, day-to-day work is highly creative, collaborative, and interactive.

Media advisors

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:

  • Attend government and community events to take photographs or record video footage.
  • Fulfil 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

Event Coordinators act as the logistical backbone of the DPA's public gatherings. They spend their time:

  • 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.
