I guess we who are not Smith and Jones already agreed on having a plebiscite to sort these things out.

If the government wouldn' like said foundation, they hopefully rather shrug and mind their government business instead of feeling tickled into causing a pretty efficient collapse.

Well, if hosting the official domains of Talossa or providing a building in which the Parliament meets or running a parliament canteen would be done by means of private enterprise, and if the entrepreneurs would be high ranks of the government, and if they had passed a law that makes compulsory to by the service of their enterprise, this would be a construction that surely stinks.
But if, say, the President would buy himself an ice cream truck and would begin to sell ice cream in the Greater Talossan Area to earn himself a living, this would probably not be a shady deal, especially since there is no monetary reward for his governmental job. But then, if he would buy the ice cream truck only for the purpose of tricking our Republic (that doesn't pay their officials a single rusty groat for their efforts) in shame, this might be seen as some sublime case of political blackmail... which had to be examined by our massively underemployed juridical branch.
Oh well, life is difficult in these days.
