The shape of the state
The apparatus of the Bangladesh state, mapped into a single registry: from the ministries that set policy to the city corporations and union parishads that deliver it. Every body is a tracked entity with a recorded name, acronym, and mandate, never a name guess, so a missing entry is preferred to a wrong one.
By kind of body
The cabinet-level portfolios of the executive.
Secretariat units within ministries.
Line agencies that deliver services.
Self-governing public institutions.
Created by, and answerable to, specific Acts.
Commercial entities the state owns.
Standing committees that scrutinise ministries.
Sector watchdogs with rule-making powers.
Offices established by the Constitution itself.
City corporations, municipalities, and union parishads.
974 bodies across these kinds, part of the 974 tracked in the registry. Local government bodies are the largest class because the figure counts city corporations, municipalities, and union parishads individually. Source: BDPolicyLab GovTwin, /api/govtwin/stats.
Established by the Constitution

Method and sources
The registry becomes a twin when its bodies connect. Each entity carries a recorded name, acronym, legal basis, and mandate; each parent-to-child link is built from a body's declared parent reference, resolved only where the parent is itself a tracked body. Links that cannot be verified are left undrawn. Counts are drawn live from the GovTwin registry.
