Does my national motto have to be attributed to my nation's leader?
If your nation has addressed an Issue that led you to set a Leader, then on your Rift nation page, your National Motto gets attributed to that person. This isn't ideal for many nations, it seems, so we will look at removing that.
I don't think that the motto's attributed person should be removed, but as (I can't remember, it was a few pages back) said, there should be a column in the settings, to choose a name for what you want there instead of the leader.
