| Message | Caliph would be a great title for the HoS, but historicly it is a hereditary titel. I dont know if anyone wants a monarchy? We could always change Caliph into a elected title. |

| Message | I like Caliph. Not quite sure about a monarchy but we could always just use the title as a democratic official other than a hereditary title. |

| Message | Hello, Well good to see the nation returning back to what it was, may I suggest you change the name back also to fir with the Islamic culture. You caught my attention with the Caliph and I am sorry to barge in, but as one of the IML leaders I have to do my part. There is currently a Caliph in Bar. and traditionaly Al'Badara (If I remember right) has been a Sultanate or a Emirate, recognizing the Caliph who at time has choosen this nation to be his base. I would urge you to consider a monarch, and return the Sultan to the throne in this nation. One it would be neutral and thus belong to no party allowing you all to work for the HoG position which would hold all the true power, and would make the nation one of the few Arabic nations in Terra again. However there are other titles or options (all can be republic style, but I would recommend them as monarchs. However you could do an elected monarchy which means you pick the succesor to the monarch when they die. Means you have to keep up with the monarch, but would be different. See Cambodia or President for life on wiki for the two ways this could work) Sultan Emir Malik Sheikh These fit your culture. The UAE does have a President and Prime Minister, but they are choosen from the ruleing families of the Emirates. Best of luck, -Duke Matthus IML leader |

| Message | The IRPP thanks the IML for its contribution to this discussion, but we also have to note that this is a internal Badaran matter. We like the idea of returning to the Caliphate, but the IRPP is the only party in Badara, or al'Badara as it was once called, that is in favour of that idea. In the case of the name of Badara, the IRPP suggests that after the Provinces are renamed to Emirates the name of Badara should be changed in to something like "United Emirates of al'Badara' or United Badaran Emirates'. (OOC: i dont know the word 'the' should be in front of the proposed names.) We think that the title of Sheikh, meaning 'Elder' in arabic, would be a good name for the HoS for the time being, so the citizens of Badara can adjust to the reintroduction of the original Majatran culture in Badara. |
