| Message | Stadhouder or stadtholder - meaning: representitive for the land's owner (the people of Malivia) Grand Duke, Magnus Dux or Groherzog- depending on what language looks best to you. Taoiseach-(OOC: irish PM) |

| Message | what's wrong with President? though if we're looking for exotic terms, there's always Executor of God's Grace. USP can give you the full title. |
| Date | 17:28:14, May 23, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Party | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | Well can't remember the full title as it doesn't really translate very well into english but something like "Executor (King) of gods grace and the will of the people" would work... I'd vote in favor anyway |
| Date | 05:06:24, May 24, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | We are wary of placing a reference to a supreme being in the title. But could like something else along those lines. Executor of the Will of the People, Defender of the Constitution of Malivia, King of Itaki, Duke of Walkunia, Prince of Polkana, etc, etc... OOC: since I am in the US, president links HoS ans HoG too much for my tastes. So would like anything else really. And my tastes have always been to make it different from what is out there already. |

| Message | OOC: just have it up to see what it looks like, don't take it as a final draft. |

| Message | OOC: that looks hilarious, PP. I may vote for it. |
| Date | 11:15:09, May 24, 2005 CET | From | LibCom Party | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | The first bit sounds good (well, the first two bits), but I'm not so keen on the monarchical/aristocratic titles. |
| Date | 11:24:03, May 24, 2005 CET | From | LibCom Party | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | How about Comrade? (With a capital C to distinguish from everyone else, who are comrades with a lower-case c.) Or Citizen, if Comrade sounds too pinko for your tastes? |
| Date | 19:52:32, May 24, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | We were using the titles more as placeholders then anything else, we would like to avoid them as well. |
| Date | 20:24:07, May 24, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | How about these...(see above) |
| Date | 10:32:57, May 25, 2005 CET | From | Free Reform Coalition (FRP) | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | I thought everyone was equal in a communist country such as ours, if we're going to call our leader comrade, we must use a lower case c, like everyone else. hehehehe but seriously, how about Grand Imperator of the Malivian Central Empire? sounds cool to me. :) |

| Date | 09:05:33, June 01, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Party | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | Executor of the Will of the People, Defender of the Constitution of Malivia, those would do, I think the title just gets ridicilously long when more titles are added. |
| Date | 18:13:10, June 04, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | How about this change Speaker for Malivia, Executor of the Will of the People, Defender of the Constitution of the Federation |
| Date | 05:33:00, June 06, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | In the interest of the upcoming elections wewill move this to a vote. Hope it was changed to something people like. |
| Date | 05:36:00, June 06, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | forgot the elections are no longer in Feb so could have waited a few more months. |
| Date | 11:28:41, June 06, 2005 CET | From | LibCom Party | To | Debating the HoS revisited |
| Message | Still too grandiose for my liking, comrade. |
