Can anyone think of a good name? Something that embodies this Ministry's mission.

Also, I hope they house it in a large white pyramid shaped building.

You're right. How about "Department of Truth"?

Ministry of Truth is at least traditional.

Tradition is over rated. Maybe someone can think up a new compact way to describe it, as part of a new way of speaking. Then we'd really be somewhere.

I don't recall the US government having a "Ministry of" anything, it's all "Department of".
