	Assuming the entire Liminal State framework has been thoroughly and completely mapped out and is ready for real world use, the first step in creating a new instance in the real world would be to register the voters. How this happens in practice will most likely vary widely based on the existing/previous government in place and the relationship the citizens have with that government. Another factor to consider is if this would be the very first iteration of the Liminal State or if there are other Liminal States in existence that can serve as a model.

	Despite all this, there will certainly be some commonalities to anticipate, such as the need for publicity/citizen education and initial citizen involvement. Despite the heavy reliance on web-based enrollment, there will need ~~to be people~~ on the streets to search out those people that are frequently underrepresented within the government and to aid anyone without the ability or equipment to complete the web-based enrollment process.

	All of this will be accomplished in conjunction with a census and should be completed within the first three years.		All of this will be accomplished in conjunction with a census and should be completed within the first three years.

	The International Affairs Branch is in charge of maintaining relationships with foreign countries and entities. This ''Branch'' is special in that a three member ''Ambassador Unit'' represents the Liminal State to every nation, with each member serving 12 year terms, staggered every 4 years. The ''Branch Officials'' of the International Affairs Branch appoints the members of the ''Ambassador Units'' using ''Proportional Rank Choice Voting'' from among the qualified and willing candidates.

The ''Branch Officials'' of the International Affairs Branch appoints the members of the ''Ambassador Units'' using ''Proportional Rank Choice Voting'' from among the qualified and willing candidates.

	Candidates for an ''Ambassador Unit'' must have 8 years of experience within the ''Branch'', including at least four years of relevant work specific to the nation they would be assigned to, and be 52 ~~or younger~~ at the start of their assignment.		Candidates for an ''Ambassador Unit'' must have 8 years of experience within the ''Branch'', including at least four years of relevant work specific to the nation they would be assigned to, and be between the ages of 31 and 52 at the start of their assignment.

	The objective of these ''Ambassador Units'' is to serve the interests of the ''Citizens'' of the Liminal State via that relationship with the other state. These ''Ambassador Units'' function similar to ''Branch Officials'', where the vote among them decides minor decisions, such as staffing requirements at the foreign embassies. For major decisions, those which impact the entire Liminal State, the ''Ambassador Unit'' reports directly to the ''Executive Group'' and are charged with educating all the members of the important factors concerning that relationship so the ''Executive Group'' can make the best decision. The ''Executive Group'' are the only ones authorized to make decisions regarding international relationships that affect the entire Liminal State, so the ambassadors are to err on the side of caution in their decisions and bring all important matters to the ''Executive Group''.

	The Infrastructure Branch is in charge of the built environment within the Liminal State. From ensuring fiber optic internet connections reach every rural community and fast charging stations are ubiquitous and standardized, the Infrastructure Branch is always looking to the future so the ''Citizens''' needs are accounted for delivered upon. This means that this ''Branch'' heads up new infrastructure builds while existing infrastructure is maintained and modernized.

	The ''Infrastructure Branch'' will work with many ''Lateral Branches'' to accomplish it's purpose, for example with the Environment and Progress Lateral Branches to take advantage of wind and solar resources, along with the buildout of battery backups to increase the reliability and robustness of the electrical grid.

	A physically and mentally healthy population is good for the people and good for the Liminal State, so this Branch works to promote healthy lifestyles, prevent avoidable health challenges, and provide appropriate care to any Citizen in need. It ensures children start life off right to become healthy and well adjusted adults, mothers and fathers are set up for success, and the aging population is in in excellent mental and physical shape to enjoy retirement without expensive and time consuming care.

	The Environment Branch is special in that its focus isn't specifically on promoting the needs of current ''Citizens'', but instead prioritizes the environment first. This is necessary because the current ''Citizens'' may want to use the environment in such a way that eliminates future ''Citizens''' ability to use it. Or some uses may impact people beyond the borders. This doesn't mean that the entire environment must be left pristine, for none to use, but that resource use must be considered with a wide perspective.

	The Environment Branch weighs the needs of the current and future ''Citizens'' (commercial, recreational, and natural use), wildlife habitats, resource rejuvenation possibilities, non-restorable damage, cross-border contamination, etc. These are complicated, and often conflicting considerations, so this ''Branch'' is charged with making the tough choices to protect the environment in such a way as to ensure the environment is available and usable far into the future. Additionally, all uses are weighed against the ~~potentiail~~ long term health consequences of the ''Citizens''.

	Using the example of the ''Neighborhood'', consider an apartment building housing many families. Those families will someday move on, so that means that the highest priority is taking care of the building itself, not ensuring that the happiness is maximized of each family currently living in the apartment. When there are other families already living in the unit and future families that will someday move in, the current families will have to make compromises, like not being allowed to knock down a wall to create a bigger living room or setting up a temporary swimming pool indoors that will leak into the units below.
