The social processes which specifically or peculiarly belong to the statal complex are characterized by von Wiese as consisting in *Herrschaft* (rule or domination) and *Dienst* (obedience or service).⁵ The relations between the superiors and the subordinates, the command, the nomination, the delegation, the status of officials, the protocol, the notification, the statute, the titles and so forth constitute the paraphernalia of statal relations. Among the numerous symbols of the state are noted the throne, the flag, the coat of arms, the uniforms, arms, office-buildings, the navy, the court of justice, and so on.
