I think I’d like to be known as “Curmudgeon in Chief”. I do however plan to be a benevolent dictator. I’ll be open to persuasion, but when people question my leadership they’d better have their facts together or they’ll be banned from my presence. Muck up really bad and I’ll ban you to the other side of the Earth. Since I’ll be supreme ruler and travelling all the time, this may entail some inconvenience. The other side of the Earth may not be the same place (or even the same hemisphere) from day to day. You’re welcome. –SSgtBaloo, Curmudgeon in Chief ---

Obviously, I’d be known as “The Dread Pirate” Sunshine and Smiles or “The Baron de Sunshine” or possibly “Czar of Awesomeness,” Sunshine and Smiles ---

His Magnificence the Supreme Leader, commonly known as “our Beloved Leader.” Or, Lord Emperor, Son of Heaven, Sire of the Sun, Refuge of the Repentant, Font of Honor and Glory, Sustainer of Order, Holder of the Universe, Supreme Commander, Guardian of the People, Sole Sovereign Monarch over all Peoples.

My formal title would simply be “Comrade.” If someone were to address me directly, however, they would refer to me as “Your Sublimity.” Or “King of Town.” ---

For **SanguineSpider** , I suggest The Arachnocrat. Personally, I like the classic Mikado. To use the full title (with as many secondary and courtesy titles as I can think of): The Supremely Exalted **Scuba\_Ben** , Mikado of Earth, Emperor of the United States, Protector of Mexico, Maharaja, Earl Marshal, Grand Duke of Pfennig Ha’pfennig, Prince of Egypt, _Nasi shel Y’rushlayim_, Baronet of Ruddigore, KCB, KCVO, KE3OM, QRT.
