I'm pretty sure that people like being called to vote in a Senate rather than in an Administration Council and I would much prefer to be a Minister than a Head. Corporations already play a large part of what we do here as without them we are left with no ship designs to build, so I think that the effects of businesses is already large enough without our rubbing it in the faces of the people.

I will second this and we may vote on this.

Dear Ministers and Senators
While we still call ourselves a democracy, it is well-known that we only own our current position due to the support of various corporations and that most of our time is spend trying to further the interest of our true corporate masters.
Until know, it has been more convenient to respect the form of a republic, if only to prevent unrest, but the recent defeat of the dreade "Red Sickle" combined with new trans-newtonian riot gear allow us to ignore the public entirely. Who would dare to protests if we can destroy any sindle demonstration from orbit?
With this problem gone, I think it would be more convenient to re-brand ourselves as a real corporation, displaying our corporate affiliation and generally be more open about who our backers are.
As thus I propose the following change to terminalogy:
The Senate will become the Administration Council
The Capinet will become the Board of Directors
The President will become the CEO.
As for the various ministers they'll be Head of their respective Department.
As for the company's name proper, we must decided what it'll be. My best marketing consultant are already working on it. Given that it is mostly a Industrial company, I'd go for General Industries.
