[Idea] Leader Description?

Postby Perrytopia » Sat Apr 18, 2015 7:53 am

Now I know that this may come off as a tad petty, but would it perhaps be possible to change the description "...ruled by @@LEADER@@..." to "...led by @@LEADER@@..." on the general description page of democratic nations or nations ranked highly in civil and political liberties? While I might be mistaken, I've never heard of a democratically elected leader referred to as the "ruler" of his or her nation. The phrase just doesn't seem to fit the type of nation that it is describing.
Nothing to see here, folks. Please move along...
What's up with all these folks nowadays making nations that don't use NS stats? It's always "Multiversal Soul-Snatchers" this or "Tier Infinity Poly-Galactic Mercs" that. I mean, stats are the whole point, right? You know, the thing that makes this different from your run-of-the-mill role-playing forum? Yeah, they're flawed, but its the ridiculousness that makes this game absolutely FANTASTIC
And copying taking creative liberties with Warhammer 40K or Eldritch nonsense doesn't make you as unique as you think...

I really really like that idea. Infact it would be really nice if we were allowed to say, add more bits about the government on our pages. It'd be nice to have more custom fields.

IIRC, allowing you to edit your nations page, the mods would see it as a easy way for others to insult folks and broadcast political opinions about your government that are not debatable. My sources would say, no.

What I'm trying to get at is... For example 'Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme.' relating to one of my issues- What if I didn't have a parliament but a soviet congress or something... Or possibly if you have a collection of republics within your nation, maybe you could be able to put something relating to that there. For example.. If I were to have 50 states let's say. You could have an option to have your page reflect that, so people don't have to dig in your factbook. Ofcourse that's where you'd put more detailed info. but it'd be something such as.. 'Cannidarsa is comprised of 50 states, each administered by a governor'

Thanks for the bump guys. While it would be nice to be able to name your own legislative body, I feel that that wouldn't fly so well. I doubt that the current staff would be willing to spend that much time rewriting a great deal of code. I mean, let's be realistic here; most if not all of them are volunteers.
