Okay, no buzzwords ( because I don't know that many ), but I thought about it for some time, and here's a follow up on how our corporation/government could work on multinational level.
I think I ought to explain from bottom-up instead of top-down, it just makes sense.
The lowest level of organization is a district. Now, it's a really non-indicative name, meaning actually whatever: a district can be a small town, a part of a bigger one or a town and a few hundred square kilometers surrounding it. The size of the territory doesn't matter, but a number of Gucas does, ideally, we are looking at a team of three to six Magical Girls who are, if not besties, at least can stand each other and work together as a team. Each such team should provide a representative whose formal responsibilities would be greeting new arrivals, helping to arrange their accommodations and assigning someone on the team to follow Kyubey when he contracts someone to explain the situation if we can convince the little shit to cooperate. Ideally, the team could work as a local branch of our organization, earning money by getting contracts from the local companies and officials. Like, healing of terminally ill patients, construction jobs, etc.
The thing I'd want to try here is that the money earned gets split between the Meguca who did the job and the shared fund of the team. Unlike real corporations, our goal isn't turning profit, it's making sure that Megucas' lives are not complete shit. So, depending on accommodations, their shared fund would only need to be dipped into just for the fees to the assigned therapists and social workers, ( or forwarded upstairs, I will discuss it a little later ) the maintenance fees, taxes and a billion other small things, lol. But, the important part is, we are not trying to earn billions, we are trying to get Megucas employment and make it self-sustainable. There are a couple other ideas for the emergency fund, like helping out the newly Contracted or their members to pay for college or some shit, but I have no clue on how that would work aside from generalities.
With me so far?
Okay, the next level is a county. A county is a city with several Guca teams or several small towns relatively close to each other. Depending on the circumstances, a county could be composed of something like twenty to thirty Megucas. Yes, that's right, that's the level we are on at the moment.
Now, every district has a representative, but a county has an elected executive. An elected executive is chosen by all Megucas in the county, and their job is to organize the shared funds and if needed Megucapower on really big shit, basically pulling the resources of districts together on, I dunno, stuff. Hiring a legal team? Paying bills for therapy? Organizing a response taskforce on sudden Witch influx/local government giving them shit/a criminal organization that decided to kidnap one of the members and hold her for ransom? That's the level these things are usually decided on. The executive probably should have an office with a team of non-Meguca members helping her out to run day-to-day operations, but I dunno what would be better: paying the, directly from the pooled funds or sending the money further upstream to formalize it across the country.
Another job of the executive is to sit on the Council. A council runs a state, which is anything from a megalopolis like Tokyo to a small country with its capital. The figure we are looking at here is, again, like Tokyo, a hundred Megucas. Now, a state could act like a larger county with Megucas electing Councilors instead of an executive or it could be a point of contact with the government. Judicial authority, representing Meguca rights,assassinating fuckers would exploit teenage girls suing into the ground fuckers who would exploit teenage girls or dealing with the entire criminal organizations whose local franchise decided to hold a Meguca for ransom, for example, that's what is decided here.
A state is a largely separate autonomous entity with their own authority with an understanding that Councils from the same country should coordinate their responses together and maybe elect someone to serve as point of contact with the government from their number.
If we do get to the level of organizing several states with their councils together, the collective entity could be called a Union of five hundred to two thousand Megucas, depending on the country/several countries in question. The Unions are the entities we, the central organization would interact with on regular basis, and it's more of a directional thing. A South African Union? Organizing relief efforts across the country, maybe lobbying for funding and subsidies on behalf of the countries in the geographical region. The USA Union?Discreetly running the country from behind the curtain, coordinating efforts with other corporations to, I dunno, cure cancer? Help out with improving the ecological situation? Actually turning a profit so that the corporations we work with would have a reason to do it? Maybe.
This is the pre-first draft, feel free to bust my balls about it and suggest ideas.
Why am I doing this right now, or like, at all? While I'm pretty sure our quest won't ever end up on that level ( or at least I would die from old age long before that while someone uploads Firnagzen to continue generating new content about a vintage Magical Girl quest for the twenty third century history buffs ) we still want to present an idea to Hitomi's father to indicate that we thought about that and how funding us would help to better not only the Megucas, but all humanity. And maybe earn him some money.
Now, I'm pretty sure most of the profits on the initial stage would be from cut expenses. Like, Meguca might be not cheap individually, but if we get them proper certification and the city actually accepts that a Meguca who is able to make ideally square granite blocks to pull off kickass attacks with them ( for example ) could be employed as a local contractor, that could save hundreds of thousand of dollars to the company who could manage to snag a contract with her first. We probably need to organize a portfolio with non-specific specifics of what girls in our group could do with proper certifications and education, and what they can do already, like heal people faster and easier than modern medicine. Actually, most of them would probably get snagged on medical contracts.
Whew. I'm a little bit tired atm, maybe I'll continue speculating tomorrow morning when I'm fresh. Now, excuse me, gonna watch SAO Abridged for the twentieth time or have a dinner or some shit. Have a look at this, someone, and tell me if it looks alright.
Also, someone who has actual university education in business management coming up with their own plan would be great, thanks.

Let's not worry about the logistical challenge of designing unique logos for every city/magical-girl group in Japan/Za Worldo when our number of constituent cities can be counted on both hands. Odds are that by the time we reach the stage where such logos become obselete, The Constellation will have evolved into something totally new, or even been superceded by another body. Alternatively, local groups might design their own logos that take the common Constellation imagery (mage-ery?) and does something new with it.
