| Message | Mussolini was called Il Duce, we wouldn' t like people to think we are building a fascist regime here.Dux is Latin, latin being a dead language, it's kinda neutral. |

| Message | We are huge fans or the Latin language, but Dux is an extremely silly word. We propose any of the following alternatives: Pater (father) Avus (grandfather) Auriga (driver) Tyrannus (tyrant) Vermis (worm) Scortum (whore) Granted, some of those are pretty facetious, and if you have any other alternatives feel free to suggest them. Personally, we are leaning very strongly towards Auriga. It both sounds awesome and means something we want it to mean - he is the driver, this man is simply the nation's chauffeur, taking orders from the more important people in the back of the car, but making the small decisions on which route to take in order to arrive at the requested destination. Plus it sounds awesome, did I mention that? |

| Message | Probably the best word for this would be Princeps, which means Chieftain, Prince, or, literally, "first among equals". Dux is a word that just means leader and is very generic and Consul is a better name for a HOG, ie Head of Government, than a Head of State. |
