Governmentally

/ˌɡʌvərn.ment.ə.li/ adverb

Definition

In a way that relates to or is done by the government, or in terms of how government works.

Etymology

From 'governmental' (adjective form of government) plus the adverb suffix '-ly'. This creates an adverb that modifies how an action occurs at the governmental level.

Kelly Says

Adverbs ending in '-ally' are English's way of turning concepts into descriptions of *how* things happen—'governmentally' tells us the scope or authority level of an action.
