Yes it is however all the past Minister's since Kris all planned out what they would do and each had their strengths however each has had severe shortcomings in some aspects, they should all accept that. I have and will always do so. You can read about being Minister, you can be in the AC and be a Deputy but until you actually become Minister you have no real idea how difficult it really is. No amount of planning can prepare you for all the different branches of RA.

"Integration" and promoting regional activities are fundamentally the same thing in practice. Our regional media and trying to promote the region abroad should be highly intertwined. This is just a couple simple examples, you can call them separate but the aspects of MoRA are simply too intertwined to split like that.

EDIT: Also building on this, the workload is exactly why MoRAs have typically appointed deputies to delegate. No minister can or should do all this work, they use a staff to manage everything else.

I disagree. Promoting regional activity is to keep players in TSP and to make the region a fun place to be. What about Integration in terms of a new player who has no idea about what to do? You can't just promote regional activities to make that player remain in the game let alone region. What about players who would like to get stuck in but don't know where to start or are maybe just too nervous to start? That is not "fundamentally the same thing in practice" it is completely different. The Cultural side of RA is to make the region a fun place to be, the integration side of RA is to help new players understand the game and region and then get involved they are two very different roles.

Yes I agree with that point but at the end of the day the Minister still has to be in charge. They still have to do some planning, they do still have to show leadership, they do need to work in all areas when they may really only want to work on some areas. That also can lead to people not knowing who to contact, if they should contact the Minister or Deputy or AC member or whoever. Another benefit of splitting the Ministries is that you would get a more streamlined system that would lead to better management.
