The word you want is Duchy. A duchy, however, is a relitivly small territory, like Luxemborg or Monaco. for a nation like the US, you need a monarch, either a King/Queen or a Empeor/Empress depending on how you wish to be seen. In the fudal ranks, a Duchess is inferior to a Monarch as, typicaly, a Monarch is head of state, to whom all others owe allegienceGrandAdmiralPrawn wrote:As I have said in the past, when Marina runs for Dictator of America, I will vote for her even without a gun in my ear.
BTW, if a king has a kingdom and an emperor has an empire, what does a duchess have? A Duchovny?
There are some pretty big Duchies - Silesia, for instance, or Milan - the later of which was usually independent and wielded notable influence. The USA would not need an Emperor or a King. The position of President will simply become hereditary, and by virtue of our great power, imitated. "President" will eventually be the equivlant of "Uber-Emperor"! Muwahahaha! *grins* After all, "Imperator" is just a Roman Republican military title, and "Prince" is just a corruption of the latin for "First Citizen"....Stuart Mackey wrote:The word you want is Duchy.

Why not? After all, Augustus Caesar was offically the Tribune of the People, a title which had existed almost since Rome was a republic. He just made the term limit perpetual.GrandAdmiralPrawn wrote:Listen Marina, you can't go calling yourself something as vanilla as President. Neither can you deliver your proclamations wearing simple business attire. You need to call yourself Grand High Imperatrix, and stomp around in a uniform that makes the Nazis look like sloppy dressers!
I think you must have forgotten about that castration thing she likes to do to men. Under her rule, it would be best to keep both heads down.Coyote wrote:"Won't you be my Imperatrix"?
Remember, I'm Minister of Defense, 'kay?
When did she say she liked castration? If so, then someone else can be Postmaster General.Darth Wong wrote:I think you must have forgotten about that castration thing she likes to do to men. Under her rule, it would be best to keep both heads down.Coyote wrote:"Won't you be my Imperatrix"?

No, don't choose him to deal with other countries. Choose a foreigner who's actually lived outside of US and understands the anti-US sentiment, as well as other things about international politics.RedImperator wrote:You're going to need a Minister of Foreign Affairs, my Imperatrix, at least while there's still foreign countries.
Who cares about anti-US sentiment? They get pissy, we send them plutonium care packages to brighten (get it? BRIGHTEN?

And if I don't know anything about international politics, then I've wasted $80,000--shit, I had a full year of Russian politics all by itself.
Excellent, a foreign relations policy that consists of demonstration nuclear strikes, I like that. Of course this means we'll have to start building up our arsenal again, we wouldn't want to run out of nukes now would we?RedImperator wrote:Who cares about anti-US sentiment?
