A bit of a weird ask but Im specifically looking for a book is primarily about exploring, explaining, and/or exploiting, the bureaucracy of a fictional system. SciFi/Fantasy/etc. Doesnt matter I want to read 100-1000 pages of navigating the world of fictional permits, zoning, and other esoterica! Ive heard some of the discworld books are like this so they are already on my list (but really what Pratchet books arent?) but I hope their are other and weirder examples!
(bonus points if it doesnt really have action scenes)

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots – the bureaucracy of the superhero system by someone in the accounting department with an anti-hero bias.
On the sci-fi side, perhaps have a look at Tuf Voyaging by George RR Martin. It’s not action heavy and features the MC exploring different planets trying to help solve their problems. He has to deal with their various bureaucracies.
