Ministers?

You can increase the Racial points allowed, then add your race, then edit it down to use fewer points, and then lower the game settings.

Personally, I tend to create new races from scratch for each game.
Since individual games Last quite a while, creating empires is still pretty rare for me.

Once the game has started you can't change the minister style. You can edit the minister itself, though (dangerous if you're not the only player using it )

For the empire file just make a game with high race points and then add your previously created empire (in the players window). Then select the race and press 'edit'. Make any changes you want, create empire, and then press 'Save to File' and save the empire.

Also, most people have multiple Versions of an empire saved (like Terran 2000, and Terran 5000) according to racial points spent. It saves time.
