See main article on governance
Central administration is also a key part of the civil service in many countries, in the UK for example – the department supports the chief executive’s office and other key areas. In the United States, many arms of government have a central administration department for example in correctional facilities the office of the director is under its tutelage. It plays a role in the function of various arms of state, in India it plays a pivotal role in the functioning of the civil service. The department also plays a key role in making critical decisions for many countries, in Pakistan (which borders India) for example there has been a discussion about whether the government should bring rebellious minded tribal areas under tighter control of central administration.

Famous quotes containing the word government:
“Whenever the society is dissolved, it is certain the government of that society cannot remain ... that being as impossible, as for the frame of a house to subsist when the materials of it are scattered and dissipated by a whirlwind, or jumbled into a confused heap by an earthquake.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“And having looked to government for bread, on the very first scarcity they will turn and bite the hand that fed them. To avoid that evil, government will redouble the causes of it; and then it will become inveterate and incurable.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“The government will support you to the utmost of its ability, which is neither more nor less than it has done and will do for all commanders.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
