| The Department of Based (DoB), more commonly known as '''the Based Department''', is a federal agency of the American government that is responsible for national based policy<ref>[http://www.based.gov/our-agency/about-based-department https://www.based.gov/our-agency/about-based-department]</ref>, including the cataloguing of based posts. Under the Public Based Act, it is a strictly a descriptivist authority rather than a prescriptivist one<ref>https://www.based.gov/our-agency/laws-and-regulations</ref>, in that it describes what is based instead of deciding what is based<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Based_Department#Organization</ref>. Contrary to popular belief, the Based Department is also charged with the responsibility for cataloguing cringe posts.

| During 2020-1, the word "based" itself increasingly began to be seen as cringe due to its rising popularity among [[Reddit|Redditors]] and [[Twitter]] users in a trend that also gave rise to proposed replacements such as [[keyed]]. Throughout 2021, calls mounted for the Based Department to find "based" cringe, but the organisation has so far been unwilling to do this<ref>https://www.based.gov/article/news-79353531</ref> as it would essentially amount to calling itself cringe.
