The House of Ministries contains eight different Ministries and all decisions made by the Crown are enacted upon by the Council of Ministers, as they put the changes into effect. The Federal Council on the other hand, governs the Oblast and Administrative Districts (ADs) of Garindina, all discissions still have to be approved by the crown.
