The Department of State and Foreign Affairs is an executive department of the U.S. Federal government responsible for the Union’s foreign policy and international relations. The Department is also responsible for the Union’s intergovernmental relations, that is relations with the respective States that comprise the Union. In its function relative to the former, the Department of State and Foreign Affairs is equivalent to the ministry of foreign affairs of other nations, and in this capacity its primary duties are advising the U.S. Governor-General, administering diplomatic missions, negotiating international treaties and agreements, and representing the U.S. at the United Nations. In its functions relative to the latter, the Department of State and Foreign Affairs is equivalent to the ministry of intergovernmental affairs that may be found in some federal or quasi-federal nations; and in this capacity its primary duties are advising the U.S. Governor-General on Federal government matters that may affect the States, in and for each State representing the Governor-General to the State Governor, administering the various United States Offices in each of the twenty-eight States, negotiating intergovernmental treaties and agreements with the various States, representing the Governor-General at the certain configurations of the Federal Council, and representing the States severally at the United Nations. The Department is headquartered in the XXXX Building, in the Fort Mason neighborhood of the Fœderal Capital Territory; “Fort Mason” is thus sometimes used as a metonym.

The Department of State and Foreign Affairs is headed by an United States Secretary for State and Foreign Affairs, usually shortened as “Secretary of State”, and sometimes referred to as the “Secretary-General of the United States”, who is the “the principal assistant to the Governor-General in all matters relating to the Department of State and Foreign Affairs.”
