The Bureau of Statistics is the combination internal police force and intelligence arm of the Grand Commonwealth. Thought of a secretive and mysterious agency, the Bureau operates within a cloak of obscuring Royal laws and powerful magickal protections to act - typically behind the scenes and shrouded by great secrecy - against threats to the Commonwealth and its stability.

The Bureau answers only to the High Sovereign, and updates on its activities are presented to the monarch regularly. Reports of its activities and matters of interest are also provided to the Privy Council, as well as to the heads of the Army and Armada. Relevant information is also passed on to the ministers as needed or requested. Likewise, because of their status as heir apparent, the current Prince (or Princess) of Beverneau is likewise provided regular updates on their work.

The Bureau is led by an official known only as the Director. Its field operatives are known simply as agents. While their numbers and disposition are classified, it is known that their headquarters is in the Hall of Royal Register, in the capital city of Morvista.
