The top departments have individualized roles where they focus on a specific dimension of PRT activities, whether it's overall administration (New York), branding (LA), or training (Houston). - [https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/45tbrf/wormpossible_spoilersdoes_the_protectorate_ever/d0171sf/?context=3 reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref> Not only does Los Angeles have the largest branding department, it also serves and administrates countless other branding departments and offices across the [[United States]].
