MACUSA 2 - The Structure of MACUSA

Today we will be moving onto the second part of our MACUSA lesson - the structure of MACUSA.

MACUSA is made up of numerous departments and is overseen by a singular president. There are 12 known departments:

The Body for Protection of Magical Species

The Department of Aurors

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement

The Department of No-Maj Misinformation

The Department of Unidentifiable Magical Objects

The Department for Confiscated Items

The Federal Bureau of Covert Vigilance and No-Maj Obliviation

The MACUSA Surveillance Wizarding Resources Department

The Magical Cleaning Department

The Major Investigation Department

The Office for Magic Relations and Education

The Wizarding Resources Department

I will be discussing 5 of these departments with you in today's lesson:

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement

This is the largest department in MACUSA and is responsible for upholding magical laws in America. For comparison, it is said to be a mixture of the British Ministry's Department of Magical Law Enforcement and their Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophe's

The Office for Magic Relations and Education

This department is assumed to have at least some jurisdiction over Ilvermorny, but its main job is to give out cultural and educational information.

The Major Investigations Department

This department answers to the Director of Magical Security and is in charge of capturing wanted criminals and preventing the exposure of the wizarding world to No-Majs.

The Department of Aurors

This department is specifically tasked with catching dangerous criminals. To again compare the department with its British counterpart, the American Aurors are more militarised with ranks such as 'captain' and 'chief' which the British Aurors don't have.

The Wizarding Resources Department

This department is located on Level 101 and is tasked with answering questions and reporting incidents.

Now to finish your lesson, it's onto your assignments.

MACUSA 2 - The Structure of MACUSA: About Me

ASSIGNMENTS

Answer the following questions:

1 - How many known departments are there within MACUSA?

2 - Which department is located on Level 101?

3 - MACUSA has a Department of Magical Law Enforcement, an Auror Department and a Major Investigations Department. Do you think three separate departments are needed or should they be merged into one department?

And choose either option 1 or 2:

1 - There are many departments within MACUSA. However, it is unknown as to which floor these departments reside on, for each known department tell me which floor you think they would be on and why.

2 - Create your own MACUSA department. As there are at least 101 levels yet only 12 known departments, that means there must be at least 89 unknown departments. Is there one you think is missing? Create it and tell me about it. What would it cover? Why is it needed? Where in MACUSA would it be based?
