Ministry of the Interior | Kingdom of Eyehasseen
📘 Overview
The Geological Survey Office (GSO) is the Kingdom of Eyehasseen’s official scientific body responsible for the study, mapping, and monitoring of the nation’s geological structure, mineral resources, and natural hazards. Operating under the Ministry of the Interior, the GSO provides critical data and analysis that inform everything from construction and land use to emergency planning, resource conservation, and educational initiatives.
The GSO was formally established in 1958, following the discovery of subterranean caverns beneath the Central District that caused several mild but poetic sinkholes. Since then, it has served as the authoritative source of geological knowledge and strategy across the Realm.
