Tegucigalpa is the political and administrative center of Honduras.  It is also the seat of government of the Francisco Morazán department.  All three branches of the national government as well as their immediate divisions—including the 16 departments of the Executive Branch, the National Congress, the Supreme Court of Justice, the Armed Forces and National Police headquarters—are located in the city.  Most public agencies and state-owned companies are headquartered in the capital as well.
