Hi Annie!
Bureau 1 was created by the dinosaurs to devise ways of keeping space rocks from hitting the Earth. They disbanded when the Tyrannosaurus rex leader ate the Stegosaurus leader.
Also…Oops? Also… Minions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minions_%28film%29) and Voth (http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Distant_Origin_%28episode%29)
No records are known to exist of Bureaus 4 through 20, though they exist in legend.
Dark Ages, huh?
Three ships were sent west to find a quick route to Asia, but two good-sized continents stood in the way.
Bureaus 24 and 25 were organized by the British and the American colonists, respectively. Bureau 24 discouraged the colonists from rebelling. Bureau 25 encouraged them to rebel. Bureau 25 was more successful.
Bureau 31 was organized to enforce Prohibition. It was touted as a great success until the head of the Bureau was caught taking a bribe from Al Capone.
Bureau 35 was organized to combat Communism. It was disbanded after the Soviet Union was found to be a financial contributor.
Utopia ensued — and there were no more Bureaus.
And here I thought that Bureau 40 would be the Utopian Peace Keepers. The one with Andrus from Season 4.
Cute one!
