MPs are also organized onto Boards and Committees depending on their respective interests or backgrounds. This is the responsibility of the Deputy Minister, as part of their portfolio is the management of the day-to-day conduct of governance. They see to Internal Affairs, and while subordinate to the will and direction of the Prime Minister, generally have a high level of autonomy when compared to other nation's equivalents. The Prime Minister however, will focus on foreign affairs, macro-level political machinations and plans, as well as assigning and management of Ministers and federal-level organizations versus the Parliament's functioning itself.

=== Governates ===
Arcerion's governates form the largest political bureaucratic level below the federal government. Characterized by their different economies and geography, but shared language and beliefs, the governates all have representatives, best described as liaisons that are additional seats in the Confederate Parliament.

Nothlea is the most populous province in Arcerion, and also geographically the largest. It also is partially home to the capital, Kurst, although it falls into its own quasi-governater area known as the Kurst Capital Region (KCR). The provincial capital, Kinnaird, is the largest city in Arcerion and is the cultural capital of the Cronan nation. It was the original Carnish settlement that started Arcerion, and was the ''de facto'' capital up until the country's full independence from Carna before the Great War. Northlea has several smaller provinces, from the highly urbanized centres around Kinnaird and its suburbs in the Greater Kinnaird Urban Area (GKUA) to the rural communities in the far reaches of Northlea along the border with Titechaxha. Northlea is known for not only its vast agricultural outputs, but also the old financial institutions in Kinnaird such as the banks and investment centres that compete regularly with their counterparts in Kurst for who is the true financial capital of the nation.

The Arcer military, while primarily geared for national defense and domestic operational support to civil authorities, also has an extensive expeditionary focus that covers a broad spectrum of operational activities, including foreign internal defense, peacekeeping, and natural disaster relief operations. While expeditionary warfighting is a core capability of the nation's armed forces, these tasks are generally undertaken by ASOC, with support from the Arcer Air Force and Navy. The Navy's emphasis on green-water operations, those being in the Malentine and Songun seas have left it under-equipped for extended blue-water operations or for long-distance patrolling, aside from show-of-force or single frigates or destroyers patrolling. To note, the Arcer Navy's only standing expeditionary deployment group in the Northern Polynesian Sea (Standing Maritime Patrol Group 1, SMPG1) regularly requires the addition of auxiliary and logistical support elements to maintain roughly a dozen ships of varying sizes and classes past the Cape. ASOC however has an extremely foreign focus for operations, with both officially acknowledged operations and undisclosed operations across Ixnay occurring regularly. For example, in the Committee on Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (CSOLIC) in the Confederate Parliament, ASOC staff acknowledged that in 2024 alone ASOC had 3 deployed task forces, with smaller bespoke forces conducting short-term operations in support of the national interest.
