When it is known that a name or phrase represents a body exercising all the powers (or group of powers) of the government, apply the first sentence of footnote 9 and establish only the heading for the government.

Example A

If this fact cannot be known or confidently assumed,

1. establish the name as one of the agencies of the government if the name sounds like an agency name of that government

2. establish only the heading for the government if the name does not sound like an agency name of the government.
