The Department of Exterior Affairs’ branch code has been changed by the Royal Office from ‘EXT’ to ‘XTR’ at the request of Royal Officer Daniel Gomez.

What are branch codes?

Branch codes are assigned to every branch of government and public body within the State of Hokoria, as according to the Act of Government (2023).

• ROY – Royal Office
• INT – Department of the Interior
• XTR – Department of Exterior Affairs
• HEIA – Hokorian Enforcement and Investigative Agency

Branch codes are used internally within the Royal Government of Hokoria and are used to organise information and resources. Outside of the Royal Government of Hokoria, the codes are used to refer to branches of government and public bodies in a quick and efficient manner. This is the first time a branch code has been changed by the government.

How does this effect me?

This code is mainly used internally, and will not effect anyone who isn’t part of the government’s staff. However, when locating the Department of Exterior Affairs’ resources on the GOVHOK website, users may notice that the pages are located at govhok.uk/government/xtr now.
