In the USA the USPS Postal Service is actually ‘in charge’ of the *street level reality* of… streets, and addresses and such. Because they’re in charge of one of the oldest requirements of modern civilisation and government; communication. Because they have to know exactly where the mailbox is to put mail in it. (I once moved into a house that had no address, and had to see the local PO to get one.)
