Aier includes the Oberate management of the Ralch's own administration in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Mhren as well as the exercise of the Reichsaufaichter the autonomous administration of the Protectorates.The authority available to the Deutachen Steatsainister for this purpose is called "Deuteches Steataninisteriun für Böhmen und Mühren".
