Imperial Census

The Imperial Census is a small department of the Thousand Scales, tasked with tracking population trends and demographics in the Realm. The Census normally did little in terms of gathering data, instead drawing information from the Humble And Honest Assessors Of The Imperial Tax and the Keepers of Records and Notable Events to produce reports for various Scales departments (predominantly the Honorable and Humble Caretakers of the Common Folk, to which it is subordinate, and the Deliberative).

In recent years, the Census has had its budget slashed and its staff reduced to its minister and two clerks. The time it takes for demographic reports to be fulfilled is now six years rrather than the single season it was once under the rule of the Empress.
