But the best full title is "Former Vice President of the United States of America, Member of the 'Vice Presidential Action Rangers', Inventor of the Environment and First Emperor of the Moon."

It would be a headache to remember all that, same way North Korea likes to be called Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The best title would be The Man.

But my Mum said I'm the man. =(

I reckon actually it would be easy if we had one enormous government called the People's Delegation or something, One guy in complete and unfaltering rule, no opposition and no one to run against him, until death when he decides a successor, he has a group of select and very close representatives and helpers. Also one Universal written language, Newspeak of course. And we all talk in Spanish or English or Mandarin.

If in the future humanity needs to tie diplomatic relations with alien races, they'll need to unite under one banner for human interests.

Let's all just speak Latin again, that's such a cool language.

"Supreme Military Commander, President-for-Life, and King of Kings of the Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya."

Glorious Leader of United Communist Planet Earth & Luna.

...Capitalist Union of Mars & Satellites.

STM 03-01-2011 02:19 AM

Earth and Luna, English and Latin, it would be a consistent title at the least,

Leader of the United Planetary Empire of Terra and Luna (or simply Terra Luna)

Delegates of the Union of Mars and it's satellite planetary bodies.

The Outpost satellites of Io, Titan and Ganymede or something.

Dixanadu 03-01-2011 07:14 AM

United Socialist Interests of Uranus.

MeechMunchie 03-01-2011 09:07 AM

Protectors for the Inhabitants of Uranus.

Also, I want to be Omnissiah. That's a good title.

Dixanadu 03-01-2011 10:02 AM

I know, right?

I always wanted to know what the DPR meant, and...well...

...there it is.

STM 03-01-2011 12:13 PM

Democratic, the 'D' should stand for...dumb. For allowing Kimmy Kim Kim to stay ro rong in rower ro so rong!

Dixanadu 03-01-2011 01:18 PM

Lol, Kimmy.

He's my favourite communist boi for his outlandish achievements and abilities.

He claims he can change the weather! How cool is that?

Oh, and he scored a hole in one in golf...on his first try!

Now that's setting an example.

STM 03-02-2011 03:50 AM

Tis indeed, he's a big softy deep down, a big nuclear softy. He's only mad coz he's ro ronry!

Dixanadu 03-02-2011 07:58 AM

Someone has been watching too much Team America.

Can he even speak English? I've never seen him speak at all, just look grumpy, occasionally grinning like an idiot, and waving at parades of war machines.

STM 03-02-2011 08:04 AM

That's all he releases to us, all we know is 2/3 of the country is starving and he apparently never leaves the province his palace is situated in.

Dixanadu 03-02-2011 10:31 AM

Yet the people love him for it.

Weird.

STM 03-02-2011 11:51 AM

Do they, America (hmm, not to reliable) say that in fact there's an underground rebellion going on suppressed by the government as is Goldstein in 1984.

Dixanadu 03-02-2011 03:32 PM

America says many things.

STM 03-03-2011 03:49 AM

Indeed it does, America says it's a democracy (to bring this thing back on topic) pfft!

Dixanadu 03-03-2011 05:11 AM

Supreme Overlord of Democratic North America

(Canada got annexed) -.-

STM 03-03-2011 07:37 AM

I see your Fallout reference. ¬_¬ Don't do it again.

Dixanadu 03-03-2011 08:06 AM

Oh, you got me. You big mustard man.

STM 03-03-2011 08:18 AM

Ehem, http://www.timesmiter.com/pics/Fark-Mustard-Man.jpg This is what you think of me? I need comfort food.
