The German ministry for data protection and information security aka BfDI (yeah, it's a mouth full) has one https://social.bund.de/

So has the Dutch government: https://social.overheid.nl/

And the EU has an official one too https://social.network.europa.eu

Dunno if there are more. Maybe the French, Italians and Spanish do too. Maybe a list of governmental mastodon instances would be nice.
