The challenge is to have a sovereign state somewhere in the world reject the standard parliamentary or presidential forms of government and decide to run its government like a corporation. And when I say “like a corporation”, I mean that the government is run by a Board of Directors who hires the chief executive and other top officials, and can fire them at will. How this board of directors is chosen is up to you, but the Board of directors should be no larger than 30, and the hired officials should not be members of the board and should at least be theoretically nonpartisan technocrats - otherwise this would just be a standard parliamentary system.

This might sound odd, but this form of government already exists at the city-level in America. It’s called the council-manager system. The challenge is to get it implemented at the national level.
