Adeptus Administratum

The Adeptus Administratum, often referred to simply as the Administratum, is the administrative and bureaucratic division of the Adeptus Terra, the heart of the gigantic bureaucracy that controls the government of the Imperium of Man, consisting of untold billions of clerks, scribes and administrative staff constantly working to manage the Imperium at every level, from assembling war fleets to levying taxes. It is the largest of the departments comprising the Adeptus Terra, and billions of Administratum adepts work in the Imperial Palace complex on Terra alone. Its billions of officials on Holy Terra and throughout the galaxy are constantly carrying out population censuses, working out Imperial Tithes, recording and archiving information, and the million other things that are necessary for the running of the Imperium.
