Governmental Organization
A government or state agency, sometimes an appointed commission, is a permanent or semi-permanent organization in the machinery of government that is responsible for the oversight and administration of specific functions, such as an administration. There is a notable variety of agency types.

A government agency may be established by either a national government or a state government within a federal system. Agencies can be established by legislation or by executive powers.
