the Exterior Bureau (note that "the" in "the Exterior Bureau" is always lowercase, even at the start of a sentence) manages relations between the Pillow Fortress and foreign states on behalf of the Princess. At some point in the past it was the Department of the Exterior but was transferred to the Office of the Princess as the Constitution grants the Princess the exclusive power to engage in diplomacy, a power which is then delegated to the bureau.
