There are six primary departments within the central government of the confederation.
There are six primary departments within the central government of the confederation. The Ministry of State handles external diplomacy, including relations with [[Urcea]] and the other [[NSTA]] members. The Ministry of Internal Affairs manages a broad portfolio of issue, including internal security and policing, managing the small number of national parks, and oversees internal improvements (such as roads and bridges) in the Rectory of New Harren itself. The Ministry of Realm Relations is a ministry fully staffed to manage relations between the constituent parts of New Harren as well as the national government's political relations with the various indigenous constituent parts of the Kingdom. Practically speaking, the Ministry also serves as primary intermediary between [[Urcea]] and the indigenous governments within the Kingdom. Realm Relations also serves as functional clearinghouse for the other ministries in their dealings with the constituencies. The Ministry of Trade and Travel regulates, as the name might suggest, trade and travel regulations within the Kingdom. It is responsible for helping the constituent states draft and enforce laws which ensure open economic lines between the constituent states. The Ministry of Agriculture works to assist the constituent states, and their citizens, to adopt and maintain modern agricultural production methods. This ministry offers technical assistance and best practices to the constituent governments and farmers as part of a national initiative to make New Harren a major breadbasket of the Nysdra. The newest Ministry, the Ministry of Defense, is responsible for overseeing the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] and providing for its administrative needs. The Ministry of Defense also coordinates with the indigenous constituent states for the provision of manpower and any other type of army necessity that would require local authorization under the Statutory Charter.

The Grand Council of the Kingdom of New Harren serves as the primary legislative body for the realm. It is comprised of three representatives from each of the constituent parts of the Kingdom elected every five years, on the same cycle as elections in [[Urcea]]. The Grand Council's thirty six members have a relatively limited mandate of governance due to the expansive rights reserved for the Kingdom's constituent parts, but it does have a major role in terms of regulating trade between the constituent units and the Kingdom's external trade policy. In practice, the Council serves primarily as an economic planning body, where the twelve constituencies gather and vote on large confederation-wide economic plans to be implemented within each of the constituent units. The Grand Council has extremely limited oversight of the Governor-General or the executive agencies.
