Readiness status
The Principality of the Pillow Fortress uses a system of tiered readiness statuses in the preparation and management of emergencies and other crises which pose serious existential risk to the continued existence of the state. The change from one level to another in a readiness status results in new logistic, strategic, and tactical postures across the domain that readiness status is responsible for. Both civilian and military organs use readiness statuses, and the system's standards are maintained by the Emergency Management Organization, though it does not set readiness levels itself. Readiness levels can be set independently of each other, and may be geographically limited to specific areas depending on circumstance. Currently there are four readiness statuses, CIVSTAT, DEFSTAT, GALSTAT, and POPSTAT.
CIVSTAT
Civilian readiness status (CIVSTAT) is concerned with maintaining the civilian government of the Principality operational at all times.

| CIVSTAT 4 | Increased readiness, additional safety and emergency drills | |
| CIVSTAT 3 | Emergency facilities at secure locations brought up to operational levels | |
| CIVSTAT 2 | Transfer of key personnel to secure locations | |
| CIVSTAT 1 | Shift to operational control of civilian government from secure locations | |
