The Administration

This article is about the organization. For the episode, see The Administration (episode).
“The Administration isn't a police force. They're a bureaucracy. Lying doesn't require a license or a permit so they don't care. In fact, they lie too... tons.”

The Administration is a bureaucratic organization stationed within the Land of Madness, composed of hundreds of Administration Agents and the departments they manage; all under the control of the Administrator.

History

History[]

Background[]

Before the Merge, the Administration existed as a region in the former Realm of Madness, where their corporate work was mostly done with gross incompetence and arduous complexity. It had functioned presumably for ages as waiting lines within the Administration would take years to process; with whole families that date back by several generations would often inherit the same respective place in line. During his time in the Realm of Madness, Lord Garmadon became aware of it.[1]

After the Merge, however, they emerged as the central hub of all bureaucratic activities in the Merged Realms, where they took their self-appointed role of superintending all the combined realms with a degree of seriousness. The Administration would later comprised a group of dedicated denizens from across the realms known as Administration Agents, who diligently worked to ensure that everyone and everything within the Merged Realms remained in line and functioned smoothly.[2]

Dragons Rising, Season 1[]

The Administration[]

The Administration first appears when Arin and Lloyd went through the same portal after an agent decided to destroy one of the Dragon Cores. Walking through the building, the two ran into Roderick and Underwood together as they were nearly caught until Zane (unknown at that time) gave them fake permission slips to spare Arin and Lloyd.

Before that, the agents arrested Zane for numerous failed portal activation and has him work at the mail sorting room due to his nature as a nindroid.

After finding Zane and freeing him, the Ninja went to scramble for the Dragon Core where Arin learns that the Administration is responsible for realm reassignment and barely misses Jay working there.

With the Dragon Core secured, Zane hurriedly filled a form in triplicate to gain a Level 3 Portal Access Punch Card to enable the Ninja to escape the Administration.

Dragons Rising, Season 2[]

The Shape of Motion[]

Arin and Sora snuck into The Administration to enter the Department of Reassignment in order to find information on Arin's parents. However, Jay's disappearance had left a mass amount of unfinished data, meaning their mission was unsuccessful. They were then ambushed by Administration Agents, but used a smoke bomb to make their escape.

Dragons Rising, Season 3[]

The Shatter Dragon[]

Not knowing that it was all part of Jay's plan to get them free by distracting Agent Etha, use Agent Leopold's gym shorts to gas the entire building, and tricking the agents to a birthday so they can enter the Land of Lee. After they left, the Spectral Dragonians attack the Administration.

  • One of the Administration Agents referred to Zane as "a form genius" for filling out Forms A1022 and C1101 in a few seconds' time.
  • The Administration does not consider Nindroids to be people and classify any who work for them as "equipment, not personnel."[6][7]
  • The Administration has handbooks, some of which are present in the Mailroom, which contain detailed descriptions of their forms and regulations. Zane used this to acquire his "vast knowledge" of the Administration's procedures.[6]

    • Regulation 78-34B (the specifics of this regulation are unknown, although it has something to do with detainment).[2]
