I'm not quite parsing this... what's NewWorld?

In the World itself? Can it make a World that makes a Rule that amends
the main rules?

That's a tough thing to judge... If it has nothing to do with B Nomic,
then it could just as easily be a random Internet activity that really
does have nothing to do with B Nomic.

This isn't well defined... A minister only has the power to update
Public Displays.

They can already make a subgame of more than 5 rules, since a proposal
can contain any number of changes to the game state.

I don't really see what this does that the standard proposal system
doesn't let players do... Maybe you could make your intent a little
more clear, 'cause I'm just not getting this right now.
