    * Adrenal Glands: The Defense Ministry - Handles stress responses and prepares the body for action.
    * Pancreas: The Agriculture and Supply Ministry - Manages blood sugar levels.
    * Ovaries/Testes: The Population Ministry - Responsible for reproduction.
  * The Communication Hubs (Glands)

    * Thyroid Gland: Regulates the overall energy levels of the city.
    * Adrenal Glands: Handles emergency situations, acting as the city's rapid response team.
    * Pancreas: Manages the city's sugar supply.
    * Ovaries/Testes: Oversee the city's growth and development.
