The '''Ministry of Commerce''', formally titled '''His Most Christian Majesty's Ministry of Commerce''', is the [[Concilium Purpaidá|Purpaidá]] Ministry that advises the [[Government of Urcea]] and leads the nation in transportation, labor and trade policy issues. Until budget cuts and the "Redundancy Elimination Act of 1985", a separate Ministry of Transportation managed the nation's transportation infrastructure. The Minister of Commerce, rather than the [[Ministry of State (Urcea)|Minister of State]], manages Urcea's relationship with the [[Levantine Union]] due to the importance of trade and the common market created by the [[Levantine Union]].
The '''Provost-General of the League of Nations''' is the chief administrative officer of the [[League of Nations]] and also serves as president of the [[League of Nations General Assembly]]. As chief administrative officer, the Provost-General is responsible for oversight of the League's administrative authorities and commissions (collectively referred to as "League agencies") as well as nominating the heads of said commissions. The Provost-General is also responsible for nomination of the members of the [[International Justice Court]].
 
==Selection and term of office==
== Office for Trade Development ==
The Office of Provost-General was, for most of its history, an annually elected position held in the General Assembly of the League of Nations. Election for PG is a simple majority vote, with preemptive rounds of voting winnowing out smaller candidates if more than two countries are nominated to fill the role. In 2019, an amendment of the Code of the League of Nations extended terms to two years; in both cases, the term is Jan 1st to Dec 31st. An individual may be Provost-General for two terms, totaling four years.  
The Office for Trade Development and Excise Dues and its managing Commissioner are responsible for Urcea's global trade relationships as well as the day to day oversight of Urcean trade. The Commissioner also oversees the Superintendent for Levantine Affairs, which is the government office directly responsible for interaction with the [[Levantine Union]] on a day-to-day level. Until 2016 and the creation of the [[Ministry of National Security (Urcea)|Ministry of National Security]], this Office was known as the Office for Trade Development and Excise Dues and oversaw the collection of tariffs, but those responsibilities became part of the new Office for Travel and Excise Dues.
 
=== Agency for Trade Relations ===
The Agency for Trade Relations is responsible for identifying potential trade partners, formulating trade policy proposals, and managing current trade agreements, including ensuring that they are fair and functioning properly. The Superintendent for Trade Relations works very closely with the [[Ministry of State (Urcea)|Ministry of State]], and especially with the [[Ministry_of_State_(Urcea)#Office_for_Foreign_Policymaking|Commissioner for Foreign Policymaking]] during the course of crafting proposals. The Agency for Trade Relations is responsible for presenting trade agreements to the [[Gildertach]] for approval.
 
=== Agency for Levantine Affairs ===
The Agency for Levantine Affairs serves as the liaison between the [[Government of Urcea]] and the [[Levantine Union]], especially in regards to any issues arising from the common market or [[Talerzone]].
 
=== Agency for Cronan Economic Development ===
The Agency for Cronan Economic Development (known popularly as ''ACED'') is responsible for creating and implementing a policy of economic development in [[Crona]] and particularly within [[NSTA]] members, intended to strengthen the economic institutions of NSTA member nations. It was created alongside the [[Ministry_of_State_(Urcea)#Department_of_National_and_Institutional_Development|Department of Institutional and National Development]] (DNID) by the [[Concilium Daoni]]'s "Democratic Investment Act of 2024", which was passed in the wake of the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. The two bodies are close collaborators and work together to solve specific problems or challenges within [[Crona|Cronan]] nations with the specific intent of the Act stating the role of both agencies to provide the holistic economic and political independence envisioned by the Act. In addition to serving as economic advisors to developing nations, it also collaborates with the [[Royal Bank of Urcea]] to obtain [[Levantine banking and finance|interest-free loans]] to the states of NSTA. ACED also works with the Royal Bank to provide a {{wp|microcredit}} program to the residents of the member states of [[NSTA]] and also residents of [[Varshan]]. The Agency is also responsible for ensuring the lessening of trade and customs barriers between NSTA members by providing analysis and specific policy advice.
 
== Office for Guild and Workforce Affairs ==
The Office for Guild and Workforce Affairs is responsible for the relationships between the [[Government of Urcea]] and the [[Guilds (Urcea)|guilds]]. It is also responsible for workforce development initiatives, and works with the [[Ministry of Administration of the Realm (Urcea)|Ministry of Administration of the Realm]] to coordinate unemployment and job placement programs, while working with the [[Collegium Scientificum]] to develop job training programs as well as connections from schools to employers.
 
=== Agency for Guild Membership ===
The Agency for Guild Membership is responsible for ensuring that all businesses are part of their respective guild. Upon the formation of a firm or business, it conducts an investigation of the type of services the firm renders and then assigns it to membership within a specific guild based on the [[Guilds (Urcea)#Industries%20defined%20by%20the%20Guild%20Law|industries defined under the guild law]]. In the event that a firm can be categorized within two or more different industrial sectors according to the guild law, the Agency will give the firm discretion to choose which guild to join, provided that the Agency does not discern that doing so would irreparably harm the guild of choice.
 
=== Agency for Guild Enforcement and Mediation ===
The Agency for Guild Enforcement and Mediation is responsible for enforcing the binding decisions of guilds on its members when the guild's internal efforts to do so have failed. These enforcements typically take the form of non-compliant firms or sections of workers still striking despite an internal guild decision ending such incidents. The Agency works with the [[Ministry of Justice (Urcea)|Ministry of Justice]] to issue requests for compliance, and failures to comply are referred for judicial action by the Agency. The Agency is also responsible for mediating disputes between separate guilds. In the event of a potential strike or work shutdown, when disputes within [[Guilds (Urcea)|guilds]] lead to more than thirty days of gridlock, the Agency has the automatic ability to implement a temporary arbitrated settlement which lasts for 90 days. This ability, rarely used, is intended to prevent strikes or protracted gridlock between capital and labor.


=== Agency for Economic Access ===
==Powers and duties==
The Agency for Economic Access is responsible for ensuring guilds do not put undue pressure on new entrants to the market. It specifically monitors guild activities and decision-making to proactively protect against discrimination against new firms by internal guild policies, both in the general sense but also in the case of specific new firms.
The Provost-General oversees the affairs of the General Assembly, which includes presenting resolutions and bills, keeping order, tallying and reporting vote counts, and ensuring that the Code is followed appropriately. Outside of the General Assembly, the PG awards member nations with appointments to the various League agencies and commissions during their term. The PG appoints three members to serve on the Codes Committee (until 2026, the Codes Committee was composed of the runner-up for PG and two members appointed by the PG), as well as nominating three nations to occupy seats on the International Justice Court. Court nominations, unlike appointments, are ratified by the Assembly. The Provost-General also has veto power over Security Council selections made by the head of the SC, which rotates between [[Urcea]], [[Caphiria]], and [[Kiravia]].


=== Agency for Workforce Development ===
==League agencies==
===Environmental Conservation Commission===
The ECC is responsible for the maintenance of international nature reserves, the enforcement of minimum standards of environmental preservation, and the assistance of developing economies to minimize the time required for them to improve their industry past the most destructive phases of industrialization.

===Human Justice Commission===
The representative appointed to the HJC is responsible for bringing cases concerning human rights violations to the International Justice Court, where he or she acts as the prosecutor.

The Provost-General oversees the affairs of the General Assembly, which includes presenting resolutions and bills, keeping order, tallying and reporting vote counts, and ensuring that the Code is followed appropriately. Outside of the General Assembly, the PG awards member nations with appointments to the various League agencies and commissions during their term. The PG appoints three members to serve on the Codes Committee (until 2026, the Codes Committee was composed of the runner-up for PG and two members appointed by the PG), as well as nominating three nations to occupy seats on the International Justice Court.
