Omega's involved splitting MoRA into the Ministry of Engagement and the Ministry of Culture with having Media and Graphics as Departments. The Departments would be outside the Ministrial system while having the same Cabinet vote as a Ministry. They would be under the supervision of the PM and have to be reconfirmed each Ministry election cycle.
This could work - I wouldn’t make Graphics its own department though. That could easily go under Engagement.
That would solve the odd number of votes that would happen if a Cabinet vote was ever conducted. It would be six, PM, MoMA, MoFA, MoE, MoC, and Media rather than seven. I would also recommend changing the name 'Engagement' to 'Integration' for consistancy.
We could give the OWL secretary a vote, then. Or, alternatively, we could separately let the LC appoint a gameside representative to the Cabinet (something we should do anyway!)
Giving OWL representation would give us an odd number, the LC representative is a bad idea right now considering that we're trying to give the LC full independence while still having their laws compliant with the Charter,
and giving OWL representation is another discussion entirely.
The Departments idea would have Media under the authority and supervision of the PM, while having a Director to govern and organize the Department itself. However, Qwert described it as some sort of ad-hoc thing which only churns out stuff when they are requested to. This could work with Graphics, but Media is another thing as I want TSJs being produced regularly without having to be reminded of it. Qwert's description "[t]he public utilities would provide staff/consultancy for (temporary) teams, that are formed to perform specific tasks as requested by elected officials". Media would format and make press releases if requested by the Ministries, as done by Qwert's job description, but they would still continue on their production of individual projects such as TSJs. Since press releases aren't done constantly, but rather done at odd intervals with about no fewer than a couple per month, the work load wouldn't be that much of a substantial increase. By the way, the whole concept of "temporary" teams is out the window as Graphics would be like the SPSF Tidal Force: they only get called to do something when they are needed, but they are still there. Media would have a more productive, on-the-clock, work force as churning and editing TSJs, and the occasional Ministerial request, wouldn't be something that can be done quickly as graphics can be made (for comparison).
I also think that Graphics should be its own Department and not apart of MoE, since they would be making graphics for all the Ministries if requested.
