| The nuts and bolts of government of the UGH are tightened by the Administrative Chambers. These are a series of large government departments manned by vast numbers of officials, ranking from Level-1 (Apprentice Menials) to Level 50 (Grand Director of the Chamber). Each of the Chambers has its own jurisdictions and they each are extremely jealous of their turf. Employment in the Chambers is theoretically open to everyone (starting at Leve-1 of course) but in practice, rising above level 4 or 5 is nearly impossible to anyone whose parent was not at least a level 15. The chambers are thus practically bureaucratic trade guilds. It would not be profitable to list each of the Chambers, but below are some of the ones more likely to be encountered by the players. | The nuts and bolts of government of the UGH are tightened by the Administrative Chambers.

A Chamber's Director can propose a change in regulation, but the change must be approved by a majority of the other Chambers and then confirmed by the Central Assembly. | Each Chamber is in charge of a hefty volume of complex regulations which they must enforce to the letter.
