"A civil servant or public servant is a person employed in the public sector employed for a government department or agency."
Sometimes described as "unelected officials," the civil service is the army of bureaucrats, regulators, clerks, inspectors, lawyers, postmen, policemen, pencil-pushers and other employees of the government apparatus in your nation.
The size, extent and efficiency of the civil service corps can vary widely depending on the nation. In some nations, the civil service is a distinguished career path requiring personal connections to even be considered for employment. In others, it is a byzantine bureaucracy inhabited by inefficient workers, redundant departments and endless red tape. Odds are, your nation falls somewhere between the two extremes.
