Historical ministries
Mursland had a 'minister of population' from 1894 until 1959 (Ambrosius Plovina). Their function was heading the demographic department of Bureau of Statistics and had the responsibility for getting data on population in each residentsí, poverty and unemployment rates, ethnicity and language spoken in households, among other things. The position is historically loaded with elitism and racism, as it was not uncommon for the data to be modified to promote certain political believes. During Martin Is reign (1922-1955), the post was used for propagating the king's ideals. Soon after his death, the post would be abandoned as 'advances in information technology has enabled the institute to acquire data quicker and more precise than ever before.'
