The United States of Quentin Department of State (QUEDOS), commonly referred to in the United States of Quentin as the Department of State, is a Quentinian federal executive department tasked with enforcing federal laws and policies in the states, and possibly even suing the states if they do not comply. The Department of State, though it has not done so in a while, can also change the territory and jurisdictions of states and territories, as well as create new ones if new land is acquired, and settle disputes between the states. The last time the Department of State did this was in 1895, when Long Beach Island was accepted as a state, and the Kumar Area's territory was restricted to the mainland.
The Department of State is headed by the Secretary of State, a Cupboard-level employee who is appointed by the President of the USQ, with an approval needed from the House of Bureaucrats. The current Secretary of State, Stephen Parr, was appointed by President Kyle Lovestington upon his election in January 2010, and the appointment was approved by the Bureaucrats in February. The Secretary of State is currently third in the line of succession, meaning that if the President, GTNEC, and Secretary of Foreign Affairs all are unfit to serve, the Secretary of State will take over as President.
The Quentinian Department of State is headquartered in Mechanicsburg, the nation's capital, at the Chip Rodriguez Executive Building, just 4 buildings down from 777 Cupboard Place at 773 Cupboard Place. Most of the workers and day-to-day operations are handled at the building, and though the Secretary of State lives at 777 Cupboard Place, he spends most of the day at 773.
