Renaming Ministries |
I received some (unexpectedly) positive initial feedback after suggesting on Discord that we rename our ministries to avoid confusion as to whether "MoX" refers to "ministry of X" or "minister of X." Since it seems people are open to the idea, I figured it's worth discussing in a proper thread.
What titles would people prefer? I'm not overly attached to any particular titles, but I'll throw out a few that I pulled out from Wikipedia in case it serves as an inspiration to anyone: Ministry: Department, Secretariat, Office, Directorate Minister: Secretary, Director We could also keep either 'Ministry' or 'Minister' and replace the other, of course, while still avoiding any confusion arising from two similar entities starting with M.
I'd prefer "Minister" and "Department".

Should be under PM's discretion to name the formal positions and title of the people they've appointed.

I would think that the PM would be sensible enough not to restructure the entire executive every term, especially considering how most of the ministries already have established infrastructure.

You give people too much credit. I restructured and rebranded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every time I got elected. When I was elected PM, I restructured the entire Cabinet!

You could leave it blanked ''Cabinet Member {1; 2; 3...}'' and allow for the PM to title them themselves. If not, I suggest the terms ''Cabinet'' for the position and ''Cabinet Member'' for title.

Minister and Department or Secretary and Department would work imo
