[quote=@TheSovereignGrave] Huh, I never realized how difficult it was to think up a title for a Head of State for a Republic that isn't 'President' or 'Prime Minister'. [/quote] [quote=@Hael] "Chancellor", if you're looking for something realistic. If you want something that sounds more outlandish, than you could probably just make up some official sounding name. The Law-keeper. The Lawful. Primus. Civilian Commander. Centralist. Prime Centralist. Central Federalist. Prime Federalist. Central Republican or Prime Republican. I like Prime Federalist. [/quote] For me, a lot of it comes down to civilization theme. If you know sprinklings of other languages or if you study history at various eras, you can get a LOT of inspiration. Potentate is one I like a lot for my warrior race of lizard people (Ila bless Zaqir); it works well for a republic if that republic has dictatorship-like leanings. Chairman/Chairwoman is always good. I'm using Exemplar here because the Exemplar is literally meant to exemplify the will of the people. If you like an inkling of monarchy, then "Prince" works for a trade republic. And don't forget that Rome - which was a republic - had an Emperor at its head. And really, you can always make something that isn't normally leadership related and turn it into a title. The new Master of Orion game uses fairly unique names for its rulers: Controller, Khan, Skylord (for a theocratic avian dictatorship), Hierarch, Hindmost (They really are playing the Darloks differently than I expected), and the Keystone are the ones that stand out most.
