The Bureau of I.R.E serves as Regalia's defence against fraud and tax evasion since the charter's conception in 307AC. Under the command of the Secretary of Finance, the I.R.E is steadfast in making sure every lawful noble and citizen pays their rightly dues to the state on time. Utilizing its rights, the Bureau aims to solve issues diplomatically while also righteously prosecuting those who fail to cooperate peacefully. The duties of the Bureau include the drafting and issuing of Tax forms, the monitoring of a taxpayer's credit, and the maintenance of a registry of all the merchant's guilds and businesses that interact with the Regalian Empire.
In addition, the Bureau supports the endeavors of the Secretary of Finance, including but not limited to issuing financial bonds, lobbying for privately funded incentives and investing in businesses and merchants to support the economy of the Regalian Empire at the behest of the Secretary.
Under the authorization of the Lord Chancellor, the Bureau of I.R.E. has been granted these legally guaranteed rights as a chartered organization of the Crown.

Under the authorization of the Lord Chancellor, the Bureau of I.R.E. has been granted these legally guaranteed rights as a chartered organization of the Crown.
- The right to enforce all Laws related to Finances in the name of the State.
- The right to apprehend, arrest and imprison those in breach of the Laws listed above.
- The right to collect taxes from taxpaying entities in the name of the State.
- The right to audit taxpaying entities to investigate unnecessary or unscrupulous spending
- The right to manage a charter of which 10 maximum members per task may bear blunt weapons and leather armor, to be utilized by the Secretary for the Finances to detain and punish taxpayers who commit tax evasion or financial fraud and forgery.
The I.R.E. operates as a special charter that more actively pursues the financial laws of Regalia. It is a charter with especially strong ties to the Regalian Secretary of Finance, responsible for supporting the flow of finances to the state, often choosing the legal approach to settle matters in court, but with the possibility of enforcing payment from taxpayers if this is needed.
As the I.R.E. entertains multiple facets of roleplay, there are multiple divisions to accommodate it. These different ranks have roles that are listed below, and are meant to complement each other where enforcement and judiciary work overlap. In addition, the I.R.E. works with other entities where the law is only enforceable outside of the bounds of the I.R.E. As such, the charter accepts members of the Judiciary and members of the Vigilant Shield and other state charters to aid in both capacities where applicable.
The I.R.E primarily uses Discord for communication, keeping track of charter enforcement neatly through tabs. Along with that discord is essential for rallying and general communication. While working under the I.R.E all members are expected to wear their respective uniforms.
