After much consideration (literally months ), I think Amerion's suggestion is, as-is, already quite excellent. My biggest suggested change would be to the Fudgetopia Government Center - I'd radically cut out all front-facing forums there. Announcements from government institutions would just reside in the Announcements forum. However, the back end institution forums would reside within the Fudgetopia Government Center, and only be visible for those for whom it's relevant. That gives a nice lean overview and means that people who belong to an institution can quickly, from the front-page, find what they need.
