Precisely. Just look as the new Kalopia. "Federal republic", and the national motto is the same as the IRL American one. Couldn't they have named it "Republican Dominion of Kalopia" or something, just to add some diversity?Afrocentric wrote:But seriously, I agree that we need more originality in Particracy, not just with the titles. There are so many generic republics, that it gets boring after awhile. At least if you're going to be a generic republic, do something that sets you apart from the rest.

And I've always hated "Republics," and the push for hyper-realistic titles and nations.
In Al'Badara, there used to be a player that insisted we have a President and Prime Minister, despite our culture and language and all that jazz.
It got me so huffy, I mockingly proposed this bill:

I agree though, and there is another forum post somewhere that expresses this same sentiment.
In naming our Governments and Titles, we can be as creative as we want, and we should be. A prime example of doing this well would be Malivia.
