Senate Information Bureau

In order for the Senators to do their best work in advising the King, they require prompt and accurate information. It is the responsibility of the Senate Information Bureau to provide them with any and all information they may need in the service of the Kingdom. All Senators have an equal access to its services, but those who are members of permanent committees receive a priority in the processing of their requests.

The Bureau prides itself in its ability to provide prompt and accurate information, and has been given several special rights and privileges to further this aim. For example, government agencies must comply with demands for information from the Bureau, provided the information requested isn't classified. Non-Governmental Organizations must also comply with Bureau requests for information, and providing false information is a crime.

If the above frightens you, don't worry. The Senate Information Bureau is restricted to obtaining information that is either already public, or information that should reasonably be made public. The Bureau also is restricted from asking citizens and subjects for information. Senators who abuse the Bureau's services for personal or illegal reasons are subject to harsh penalties.
