How shall we call our government

[Gilgamensch]

Dear 'whatever' (should have been the name of our nationality)

As you might be aware, WE are trying to evolve our own future. WE are supposed to bring light into the world and enlighten our neighbours as well, so please consider your duty as important.

WE have to make sure that our neighbours will understand our principles, therefore WE should discuss, before WE will decide, how our elected leaders should be named.

Some of our citizens already brought up some suggestions, those I am proud to present as a starter for fertile discussions.

Suggestions for the moment are (from top to bottom):

1.)
Grand Apolyton (short GA)
High Lemur
Great Leader
President

2.)
Petit Apolyton(s) (short PA)
Minister of XXXX (MoX)

3.)
Supreme Commander (SC)
Minister of Defense (MoD)

Feel free, dear '***********', to participate.

PS: keep editing for having all suggestions on top

"High Lemur"

[Gilgamensch]

Turambar, I guess you refer to the top-position?

[Turambar]

Yep.

[Pedrunn]

"Great Leader"

I think the leader names should evolve overtime, depending on government and age.

For example: High priest for Theocracy, King for Monarchy etc.

[Pedrunn]

Thats ok and even agree with you if for the president. but it will get crazy if we do it for the ministers.

Agreed

[Immortal Wombat]

The great leader should be named the Apolyton, as in the Succession Game. It sounds cool, and it means Ultimate in greek, so it's even accurate.

First Apolyton of Lemuria

The country has the Lemur reference, let's not go overboard

[Martin Gühmann]

Apolyton in the name is always fine, therefore:

The Great Apolyton

for our leader.

"High Lemur"

I like that more.

Good idea. We can make it a combination. The leader will always be called High Lemur, and will have another title according to the present form of government. E.g: King Blah, High Lemur of Apolytonia (or is it Lemuria?). Makes the title sound pompous and too long - the way it should be

Btw, can we have a poll on this one?

Post one if you think one is needed.
