How come the World Assembly does not have one?

It is known that in RL, the General Secretariat is largely a symbolic post, yielding no actual power.

OOC: In the old UN, some players RPed a 'General Secretariat' as consisting of the sum of all UN agencies, committees and staff established by resolutions. Some also included the moderators in this, although I personally disliked that.

The introduction to this article (http://nswiki.net/index.php?title=Catherine_Gratwick) is also relevant.

Holy Prophet Z'rquon!
The W.A. General Secretariat must be a very stressful job! I'd be afraid to meet The Hon. Madam in a dark alley.

Yes?

Divine Being! Please, I beg Your Most Serene Prophetship to answer me:

Did the Bureaucracy-That-Must-Not-Be-Named dissapear because someone did discover the meaning of The QUESTION, and instead of the Universe exploding, the Bureaucracy was replaced by something even more strange?

If positive... What does The QUESTION mean???

Mme Gratwick was carried off by a bunch of attache-wielding real-life-UN lawyers to a Tunisian prison, (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13886536&postcount=9) was unjustly charged with copyright violations and remains in durance vile even to this very day, but continues ruling the WA in absentia with an iron hand and a velvet thumbscrew.

One of the few events that lighten her dismal fate is the receipt, via Red Cross parcels, of regular WA reports that allow her to sustain her motherly interest in delegates' pets. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13733065&postcount=3)

I am instructed to say that no proof whatsoever has been offered for the appalling allegations of her connection with an insurance scam that were current at the time of the regrettable Conflagration.
