Infrastructure is a very complex state. Its government has a vast number of institutions employed in a wide variety of functions from shipbuilding to education to expanding and maintaining sewer networks. Though the power of the Central Committee in Infrastructure is absolute and they are far more capable at multitasking than humans are, there are only twenty six of them. As such to administrate and coordinate these efforts, Infrastructure has developed a sophisticated Bureaucracy.While there are exceptions, members of the Infrastructural Bureaucracy are for the most part selected by competitive examinations, usually held twice every year around garrisons. These exams study mathematical skill, organizational skill, understanding of protocol and infrastructure's official ideology (described in the Book of Infrastructure) and include a number of written and non written exercise. Technically any Infrastructural Citizen who has not committed any major crimes can apply to take the exams. Though to take the examination one must be literate. However a disproportionate of the applicants and graduates are female due to the policy of Educational Triage employed in rural areas. This has led to their being a greater number of literate women in Infrastructure than literate men (though more schools are being built to educate more people). As their is a disproportionate number of literate women there is a disproportionate number of female applicants for examinations. By 35 IA about 70% of all of Infrastructure's Bureaucrats are female. The fact that administration is handled mostly by females is considered to be extremely unusual among a state who's population is mainly human.Those who pass the exam are then assigned to various clerical posts in certain departments. Promotions are granted by a complicated process. Many junior Bureaucrats of exceptional performance are promoted after being recommended by their superiors, by inspection and a few are even immediately promoted by a Central Committee Member, though a second tier of examinations is also available. The Bureaucracy is expanding at a considerable rate. Low Ranking Bureaucrats can fairly easily switch from department to department and often do, but the process is much rarer for higher ranking Bureaucrats.By 35 IA Infrastructural Bureaucracy is mostly focused around urban cities, in particular Dalatyr, The Yards and in the new Garrison Cities. Even though some 90% of Infrastructure's population is rural, more than half of all Bureaucrats operate from cities. Rural areas by contrast will usually have a Bureaucrat stationed in a Hub Town, while having a few mobile Bureaucrats as inspectors making rounds around specific areas, as well as heavily mechanized operations such as mines or detentional facilities. In terms of the numerous state run Industries of Infrastructure, Bureaucrats are generally part of a triad of administration with Foremen and Engineers. The affairs of a factory's workforce are handled by the factory's Foreman and his subordinate overseers, usually promoted from the ranks of experienced laborers and technicians. Engineers oversee the factory's machines and the products that they produce. Bureaucrats file the appropriate paperwork to keep things functioning smoothly in the factory and acting as the link between the factory and the rest of Infrastructure which it is intended to support. A few Bureaucrats are posted abroad to serve as ambassadors.Infrastructural Bureaucrats are provided with a uniform, some variations exist for winter and (given the establishment of the colony) hot climates. Depending on the rank of the Bureaucrat in quetion, the style of 'Learned Bureaucrat' or 'Enlightened Bureaucrat' may be used when addressing an Infrastructural Bureaucrat. Bureaucrats are well paid and carry a fair bit of respect in most areas of Infrastructure. Most of Infrastructure's Core Radius (the highest ranking human officials in Infrastructure) is composed of Bureaucrats. In 35 AT, there were about 6,500 Bureaucrats, a number which was expanding meaning that there was plenty of room for advancement. Like the military, dishonorable discharge from the Infrastructural Bureaucracy involves a degradation ritual in which the offender has her/his uniform stripped off in public.

Infrastructure's Bureaucracy has gained the attention of those beyond it's borders, both positive and negative. Their is plenty of academic interest in the way that Infrastructure operates in general. There have been a fair number of people who have praised this system for it's efficiency, an opinion which has become common among the Order of Keepers as well as several monarchs and some Dwarves. That said, there have been some disapproval from this. In general this comes from those with a more conservative inclination and in particular from the established noble classes, who are dismissive of the idea of allowing mere commoners without breeding or grooming the ability to rise to positions of power. In the more Patriarchal cultures the fact that women are not only allowed to achieve power, but have done so in greater numbers than men is seen negatively. While the High Elves have no objections to the gender aspect of the Infrastructural Bureaucracy, they generally don't approve of it for not being dynastic feudalism.
