		<cmns-av:explanatoryNote>In the Commonwealth of Nations, the word government is also used more narrowly to refer to the collective group of people that exercises executive authority in a state. This usage is analogous to what is called an &apos;administration&apos; in American English. Furthermore, especially in American English, the concepts of the state and the government may be used synonymously to refer to the person or group of people exercising authority over a politically organized territory.</cmns-av:explanatoryNote>

Although usage differs, a government agency is normally distinct both from a department or ministry, and other types of public body established by government. The functions of an agency are normally executive in character, since different types of organizations (such as commissions) are most often constituted in an advisory role; this distinction is often blurred in practice however.</cmns-av:explanatoryNote>

		<cmns-av:explanatoryNote>An instrumentality is a non-governmental agency that acts independently but whose obligations are backed by a government because of its role in providing a public service. Many instrumentalities are private companies, and some are chartered directly by government. Instrumentalities are subject to a unique set of laws that shape their activities. Certain organizations, such as Sallie Mae in the United States, may be considered instrumentalities from some perspectives but not others. Sallie Mae&apos;s status was changed in 2004, when it was privatized, and since that time it is no longer considered a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE).</cmns-av:explanatoryNote>
