You know, nasty thoughts are bubbling up over this.  I just finished
reading
"War of Honor" again yesterday; using an email environment you can run
the
government as separate to the admirals.

Say with 4 players per side, each player is a fleet admiral or
subordinate
for the actual combats.  Between them, they also divide up the roles of:
President, Minister of the Exchequer, Minister of War (Admiralty),
Minister
for Trade.

El Presidente directs policy "Take this system; build more ships".
Treasurer directs funds "200 MCr for shipbuilding, 10 MCr for security,
100
MCr for my pockets"
Admiralty directs ship dispositions "3 battleships to Yeltsin, 50
destroyers
to Grendelsbane"
Trade minister juggles the building priorities "Construct 1 battleship &
3
cruisers this month, so we can build a superdreadnought next month".

It all depends on the background detail outside actual fleet operations
I
suppose (and fairly dedicated players).
