Government and Science Departments

GOVERNMENT DIVISIONS
Finance and Environment
Responsible for the regulation of barter, bean-counting, and the local ecology. This division tracks nettle yield, mushroom inflation, and moonlight tax-though few pay it. Maintains the communal compost pile and once fined a heron for overfishing.

GOVERNMENT DIVISIONS
Health and Justice
Healers, midwives, and the Keeper of Bandages share this office with the village mediator and the Council of Fair Disputes. Remedies may include elderflower syrup, community service, or reciting one-grievance under the full moon.

GOVERNMENT DIVISIONS
Tourism and Education
Organises guided walks that never go the same way twice and maintains the Memory Trail plaques (some of which are intentionally wrong). Oversees Orla’s unofficial lessons and sponsors guest lectures from passing clouds.

SCIENCE DIVISIONS
Energy and Investigations
Studies the invisible stuff: currents, intuition sparks, leftover thunder. Also responsible for unexplained phenomena-cracks in time, humming stones, and cows that vanish then return wiser. The lab runs mostly on guesswork and borrowed lanterns.

Biology and Geoscience
SCIENCE DIVISIONS
Keeps records of village flora, fauna, fungi, and fossil stories. Recently discovered a lichen that recites poetry at dawn. Staffed by one expert and three enthusiastic hedgehogs. Official motto: “Observe gently, name nothing too quickly."
