Ruler name and title ?
I just remeber we forgot something... How will our ruler be called ?
As presidents will change over the terms, I suppose we won't name the ruler of our Civ "Trip" or "The Banana" (well, one of these options could win  )
I don't know what the title should be. King or Queen sound lame, but I have no other good idea (maybe Enlightened, Holy Leader, People's Voice, Supreme Banana...).
This is a brainstorming thread which to prepare a poll soon. Could you people bring ideas ?

the word "Viceroy" or "Provost" or "Chairman" would work for me, but i'm open for anything.

President, for sure. It's a democracy. Or what about Chancellor?

If you haven't notice, people are running for PRESIDENT, NOT chancellor or anything else.

Fine, but what about the name ? We can't call our leader by the name of the first president (because the official ruler name won't change in the entire game)
Just imagine President UberKrux welcoming Catherine, and she says "You're very generous Trip ! Thank you !". Well, granted, it could be fun

How about President Banana?

It sounds good to me, but we will drive a great empire; I would so prefere something like Great Chancellor or Supreme Chancellor.

As the Apolytonian Empire, I was hoping we might come up against the Banana Republic - but it'll more than likely be those pesky Germans.

It seems Banana is a valid choice.
I'm on the verge of posting a poll with 2 choices :
- Banana
- Other (explain)
I'd do this because it seems Banana will have absolute majority. Do you think it's right, or undemocratic (=wrong) ?

The above example of Cathy saying: "You're very generous of Apolytonia! Thank you!" sounds pretty ridiculous. Well, my proposal "You're very generous Polybananicus! Thank you!" sounds ridiculous too, oh well... .

LOL!!!!! 
APOLON sounds pretty cool too....
BTW: when we vote, let's have seperate votes for Name and Title, with as many chioces as possible (even if they were only mentioned once).

If you did the poll with just banana and other I think people would get pretty confused

The title, to be consistent with Foreign Minister, etc....is Prime Minister, the title for leader in many democracies.
As for name....
Prime Minister B. Banana (B. stands for Banana), now imagine he knocks on your door, you say "Whose There?" he responds in that gravelly voice of his, "Banana", in terror you ask "Banana Who!?"....his reply "Banana Banana".
or something like that.

I had another idea to make a democratic poll : A name or title suggested in this thread must have at least 3 supports, to make it in the poll.
For example, if Zarg propose "Apolon", and Timeline + someone else find it sounds good, "Apolon" will be one of the competitors against Banana.
I'm sorry, but I don't know how to manage this hole thing. And Moral was right : it's not possible to make a poll with "Banana" and "other"
