The game is an agent because it has ways of getting its component agents
and officers to do things for it.

I guess this would give the game the power to vote, make proposals, etc.
That might be interesting and I can see why you are nervous about it.
Perhaps declaring the game to be an agent might be a bad thing after all.

I will propose some sort of Bank, to own things for us, and perhaps also
do things like pay officer salaries, etc.
