In Barmenia, were we have recently introduced a heredity monarchy, we call our combined HoS/HoG "Potentate". Other replacements for President could be "Consul" (that's a really fine one), "Chancellor", "Tribune", "Director General", "Administrator", "Steward", "Lord/Lady", "Guardian", "Warden", "Governor", "Jarl", "Vizier", "Grand Magister/Magistrix", "Doux" etc. etc. etc. Why does it in so many cases have to be "President", followed by a "Prime minister". Use your imagination and we'll get a lot more cultural activity, and excellent opportunities for RP.
And why does everyone needs to even have a HoG in a republic? The two posts are better merged together.
This is why Lodamun can't have nice things...
http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=388167I make a proposal where we would be Particracy's first official parliamentary republic (where there is an HoG elected by the parliament, and no HoS, so either the legislature or the HoG takes over HoS duties). Someone jumps up and says that he'll only tolerate 2 systems:
1) A directly-elected President as HoS, and a Prime Minister as HoG elected by the legislature
2) A directly-elected President who is both HoS and HoG
Both these systems, in my opinion, are overused. If the HoS and HoG are the same person, does the title have to be President? We have the ability to be creative, yet all we can do is rip off existing concepts.
