To avoid committing fraud I hereby specify that the document I am
attempting to ratify is inaccurate to the extent that no such agency

to that ratification and intend to, without objection, ratify this:
As others have mentioned, this kind of ratification has problems. The
system is designed to ratify _old documents_ with _simulated
retroactivity_ - not a _new_ document containing _retroactive claims_. I
see at least two issues:
(1) The impossibility of rule changes, that others have mentioned.
(2) It is really not obvious what
"the gamestate is modified to what it would be
if, at the time the ratified document was published, the
gamestate had been minimally modified to make the ratified
document as true and accurate as possible"
means - what is a minimal change _at the time of publishing_ in
order to achieve a retroactive claim _much earlier_?
In your case, the minimality in (2) might plausibly mean that it simply
changes "now" the state of the agency itself - but _none_ of the
intermediate side effects on other game state that are your real reason
for wanting to save it.
