Well I like Supreme Goddess myself, it was a self-imposed nickname in high school, but that is so _eighties_ now. How about ā€œyour highnessty.ā€ Or would it be spelled highnesty? Iā€™ve always liked the sound of that. ---

Guided by countless S/F novels as a child, Iā€™d probably go with something along the lines of Supreme Terran Chancellor. Simple and to the point, and fits nicely on an embroidered polo shirt. ---

Feuhrer The Grand Puhba of Scrumtralecense Great One or just plain HIM! This is a good thread. It gives you all a chance to practice addressing your future ruler.

Iā€™d cook up a ridiculously long list of titles, and force the entire popluation to memorize all of them. Whoever refused, or changed some of the titles would be slowly whipped to death with scented bootlaces. (Shamelessly stolen from Terry Pratchett in one of his earliest Discworld books) ---

Praetor. Itā€™s an old Roman title, not one of particular power so far as I know, but I like how it looks and how it sounds. Plus, itā€™s the title of the sovereign of the Romulan Star Empire and since Iā€™m such a Rihannsu fanboy, I would want that to be my title. šŸ˜ƒ ---
