n Oceania, the government is divided into four ministries: the Ministry of Truth, the Ministry of Peace, the Ministry of Love, and the Ministry of Plenty. Each of these four divisions are tasked with a certain part of societies necessities. But the ministries are ironic because their names contradict what their jobs actually entail.
