Summary: hard to define "government"

In article <5321@utzoo.UUCP> henry@utzoo.UUCP (Henry Spencer) writes:
||Actually, far from providing sinecures for decrepit politicians...
||Consider the implications of a law requiring that no politician or
||civil servant could work for the government longer than 10 years.
||No exceptions.
||
||There is obviously a problem in that places like the NRC, who are
||technically civil servants, need permanent staff.

Apart from the unfairness in certain contexts, which Henry
recognizes, how do you define "government" for this purpose?
Does it include Crown corporations? What about corporations
which are controlled, but not totally owned, by the Crown?
