Trivia

 * The joint-longest serving Ministers were John Rocker and King CJC, who were both in charge of the Ministry of Babel Fish for 9 Months (April 08-December 08 and April 09-December 09).
 * Keishii and Pourquoi are the only people to reclaim the same Minister spot twice (Keishii: January 2008 - March 2008 then again in October 2008) (Pourquoi: August 2009 and then again in December 2009 - February 2009).
 * The Ministries were formed around the primary departments (Bank, MHAcademy, Diplomats, Public Relations, War) of the out-going government system and therefore the original Ministers were mostly the pre-existing Department Heads of those departments.
