The Office of Racial Policy, officially the Office for Enlightenment on Population Policy and Racial Welfare, is a department of the National Social Unity Party of Hæland (HNSEP) that was founded for "unifying and supervising all indoctrination and propaganda work in the field of population and racial politics". It began in 1940 and took inspiration from eugenics programs in Nazi Germany. The main role of the office is to oversee the production and maintenance of propaganda regarding the ethnic consciousness of the Nordic Race.
All party racial information requires the approval of the office before publication. The department deals with all measures concerning the field of population and racial policies in cooperation with other HNSEP or SA agencies. The office checks and passes all party press releases on issues of race. It also provides input for drafting legislation regarding racial issue.
The office produces Nye Mennesker (New People), a monthly magazine aimed at a general readership rather than towards a specialized audience. While containing articles on topics such as travel tips, its central theme is the promotion of eugenics and ethnic consciousness. Other publications created by the office included a guided plan to marriage. The guidelines, rather than focusing on love, stress the ideal criteria for marriage in Hæland, and the consideration of race and health. The pamphlet urges investigation of the ancestry of potential mates, and that the hereditarily fit should not remain single, concluding with the injunction to hope for many children. The office is authorized to nominate candidates for the Cross of Honour of the Hælish Mother, which is awarded for ‘exemplary motherhood’.
The office also creates traveling exhibitions that present the ideal Nordic type as unchanging in contrast to other types. In its first year, the office had published 20 pamphlets for racial education. The office had also established and hosted a series of intensive training courses to create ethnic educators. More than a thousand SA personnel and recent medical school graduates are indoctrinated each year on HNSEP racial topics.
