The Civil Service oversees the Civil Guard, which serves as Ostrozava's national guard and Prime law enforcement, as well as a plethora of agencies intended to coordinate the nation on the Prime level, such as the Cosmos Exploration Agency, Disaster Response Agency, Engineering Corps, and more.

The Ministry of Infrastructure typically delegates construction crews to the Civil Service's Engineering Corps. Though officially a volunteer organization, many Ostrozavan businesses, unions, and Subprimes have Civil Service requirements for public office or higher-level job promotions; as such, it is estimated that approximately 40% of the Ostrozavan population has spent at least a year in the Civil Service working at least part time. As the largest service organization operating under the Prime Defense Council, the Civil Service has over six million paid members, sharing much of Ostrozava's publicly-owned industry responsibility with the executive branch.

Passenger rail transport in Menghe is the largest and busiest passenger rail transportation network in Septentrion, measured in terms of ridership and distance of track. The national rail monopoly, Menghe Railways, recorded 1.5 billion passenger trips in 2019, an average of 2.9 per Menghean citizen. This does not count trips on municipal rapid transit systems; Donggyŏng alone exceeded 3 billion metro passenger trips in the same year. Menghe also has the longest high-speed rail network in Septentrion, with over 21,000 kilometers of track operating at the end of 2020. Rail directions in Menghe designate routes as either "up" (상행 / 上行, sanghaeng) or "down" (하행 / 下行, hahaeng), depending on the approximate direction of travel. These do not directly correspond to altitudes or compass directions. Rather, "up" describes routes moving toward Baekjin at Menghe's northeast corner, and "down" describes routes moving toward Samtay at Menghe's southwest corner. This practice originated when Federal Railways finished re-gauging the line from Baekiin to Sunju, which ran diagonally across the country. (See more...)
