The National Park Service, abbreviated NPS, is a Lovian federal governmental institution under the Ministry of Environment (formerly the Department of Energy and Environment). It is founded under the National Parks and Monuments Act in the Federal Law. The Service manages all National Parks, in order to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. The NPS is directly run by the department.
All states with the sole exception of Clymene have at least one National Park. The state which has most National Parks is Oceana, which has three, including the only aquatic National Park, Oceana Reef National Park, and the only National Park which is situated in two states, Emerald Highlands National Park (shared with Sylvania). The NPS works closely with local authorities, such as the Oceana State Department of Environmental Affairs.

National Parks
This text is literally taken from the Federal Law, Article 2:
- National Parks are natural or geological areas, usually, but not always declared and owned by the federal government, protected from most human development and pollution. A National Park can simply be designated after a request from the Service and after the owner's acceptance.
- A National Park is controlled, managed and protected by the National Park Service. The Chairman of the NPS is chosen by the Secretary of Energy and Environment. Park rangers are people charged with protecting and preserving the National Parks. Every person working in a National Park (except for strictly commercial goals) is a park ranger.
