Central Bureaucracy

The Central Bureaucracy is the main headquarters of the organization of the same name. It is located in New New York. It was first established in 2159. Many bureaucrats work within the building, and it seems that each business (at least in NNY) is assigned a bureaucrat to handle financial, legal, and other business matters.

The bureaucrats use a numerical ranking system, where lower numbers outrank higher ones. It is unclear if more than one bureaucrat is allowed to have the same number, or if promotions are only through vacancies or displacements (i.e., going up a rank forces the former owner of the number to go down a rank). Number 1.0 is the highest rank seen, though the decimal place implies that there may be ranks above his.

The bureaucrats communicate by pneumatic tubes, which run not only throughout the complex, but have terminals at their assigned businesses so they can receive communiques. At the center of the building is the master in-pile, where most incoming messages are deposited for later sorting. The bureaucracy is so inefficient that the pile has been backed up for ages, leaving a mountainous pile of messages. It takes an inhuman sorting machine to get through the pile.
