[OOC] The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

[Sigma]

@Cyclone Caesar maybe?

[Gig]

In slightly unrelated news, I'm wondering what would be a good title for the Commonwealth's leader. Majordomo makes sense, but then again it also just sounds odd

Maybe Archon? Perhaps even Kaiser, taking on the title of a monarch rather than a democratically elected leader?

In any case I think the lower level officials (governors) will be called Imperators.

@Cyclone

Shah you do seem to be going for a Persian theme or possibly even go all in and claim the title Shah an Shah (King of Kings or Sovereign of Sovereigns) your government does claim descent from the first great empire, though other may disprove of your claims.

[Brink_]

Would it be possible to control a dual monarchy? If so, I present to you the Mont-Levan Commonwealth.

@Gig

Not really; I already did a really heavy Middle-Eastern theme for my nation in the previous RP.

Does Majordomo actually sound that strange though? Perhaps I'm overthinking it and should just go with that; Majordomo is a word that means something like a guide, leader, or patriarch of a house. Similar to what Hitler's title of Fuhrer meant in Germany.

I might just go with Caesar if it does sound too odd.

Caesar or Majordomo can work, o whatever else there is. Really depends what calls to you the most.

[Gig]

How about Taikun it a leader who rules without anykind of imperial lineage en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taikun

@Brink_

A diarchy, or two nations?

Also I feel like me and Volt are going to end up fighting with you over that little bit of coastline XD.

That said, I think we both can give you some coastline there if you want, colonies don't matter that much border wise.

@Cyclone

Make it Führer or whatever is the equivalent of "Leader" or anything along those lines would be called in your language.
Albeit calling your lower ranks Imperator makes no sense, that's pretty much the original word for the Emperor.
If anything call your glorious leader as Imperator.
Unlike the word it birthed Imperator is pretty much the Latin equivalent of "director". Which would make sense for your leader, too.
He is no emperor, he's the Imperator! That's totally different!

@Willy Vereb

You're wrong; an imperator was originally a Roman official. Usually a commander =P

Or at least that's how it was at first. You're right in that eventually it was for the emperor, but then it was for the emperor's family. In any case, calling them imperator both denotes their position of power over the military and symbolically calls them brothers to the ruler.

I think I will go with option d) all of the above and just give the guy a ton of titles.

If anyone manages to find all the shit and references I put into that long ass title, I will grant them a reward after they tell me.

[Sigma]

@ClocktowerEchos Oh, also to let you know, I've did a slight name change for my nation. Just changed it from dominion to shogunate. If that's alright.

@Isotope

I was thinking something along the lines of Austria-Hungary, so a pair of separate states ruled under a single monarch.

[Isotope]

Up to volt, but I don't see why not.

@Sigma

That's actually more than welcomed. Its like the Boshin war all over again XD

Also, I can only imagine what our fights would be like. One second its infantry advancing under cover of machine guns and artillery, the next, they draw swords and produce polearms and go medieval on each other's asses. I'd love to see some foreign soldiers or officers's faces as they attempt to figure out why the fighting went back a good 500-ish years. Any offers? xP

Also, Sigma, I'm loving the way your NS is coming along, I'm getting Fuso-vibes from your stuff but its more unique and traditional in a way. Love the pictures for the Ashigaru and the Samurai!

[Sigma]

@ClocktowerEchos Glad you like it :)

And I do look forward to see the fighting :D

Edit: And happy your loving the NS. :)

I just checked, this name would be almost as long as my prime minister's full name in Old Elvish.
