The form of address for the Duke of Tmezestos is generally "(my) Lord" (Stòs), sometimes with the first name of the individual added for good measure. This term is used in a number of contexts, though many Cmostun people will take any chance to name them by their full title.
The full title of the Duke of Tmezestos is (in English and Cmosto:)
Duke [Ròstu Tfëlaxas], Duke of Tmezestos and Prince of the City, Holder of the Chains, Patrician of [Tfëlaxas], Master of the Waves, Highest Lord and Greatest Patrician of this fine city, the lands, the people and the Beautiful Republic.
Cxèulis [Ròstu Tfëlaxas], Cxèulis Tmèzestosca en Pëòlos Nufausca, Hwufos Measpas, Meascacŋ Fiëpfos [Tfëlaxasca], Ŋuòfos Sepëispas, Stòs Tnelè en Meascacŋ Fiëpfos Nèilè Nufaustca Spil, Pmaistesca, Cmòstutnca en Tawatsesca Xivaël.
Duke/Cxèulis
The title of Duke is quite a long and storied one in Tmezestian culture. It comes directly from the word cxèu, meaning 'to rule', and thus is in a way synonymous with ruler. There are numerous ducal titles within Tmezestos, though most of these are hereditary. This use of the title of Duke is descended from the First Era. The first ever Duke was Cxeulis Miscelu I ni Cxïlis, who ruled as Cxeulis of Cxïltses from 1E 206 to 1E 230. Prior to that point, the King held the title of ruler (Cxèulis - we will go into this further later), and Miscelu's brother Nèswisu ni Cxïlis ruled as Peolos Tsesto (hereditary, landed prince) of Cxïlaxas. Their father had been the ill-fated Prince Tòlësu Swiolaos ni Meres, who had fought against Tfirisu the Usurper in the Brothers' War, but had been killed, alongside his uncle Nuswïlu, in an act that has gone down in history as the Black Star-Fall, considered a major dishonour. Nèswisu had been one of the individuals who had been offered lands after the war, King Causu II giving him the castle and princely lands of Cxïlaxas. However, rather than moving to be with his family in their new seat (as was tradition), Miscelu and his wife stayed in the capital. Almost every day, he bemoaned the indignity of growing up without a father, and the dishonour having been done him by Tfirisu. So vehemently did he protest that Causu II eventually gave him the recently created castle of Avuos. In a most unfortunate and not at all suspicious set of events, Nèswisu and his son died, leaving their castle of Cxïlaxas also to Miscelu. Tradition dictated that the lands be split upon succession, but given their proximity to the Royal House and Causu's soft spot for Miscelu, he granted him the title of Cxeulis - Duke - the first Duchy in Tmezestian history. The rights of a Duke were broader than those of a Prince, being fully permitted to declare lesser lords Princes too, and acting almost as the King would in their own domains. In the later First Era and far into the Second and Third, Dukes comprised the most extensive landholders in Tmezestos, with the absence of any kind of King, and the title of Duke was usually a hereditary one.
Duke of Tmezestos/Cxèulis Tmèzestosca
The Duke of Tmezestos, however, has a different history than most other Dukes. As the word Cxeulis is so closely related to that of "ruler", the title of Duke was one of the titles that the ancient Kings of Tmezestos held ever since the days of Oscwisu I. While the word "King" (Ŋiswos) referred to the divine ruler of the nation, the word "Duke" more referred to ruler over the vassal princes that comprised Tmezestos. When the term Cxèulis was adopted into a part of the nobility in 206, the King did not relinquish the title of Duke, and it remained a part of the Kingly vernacular until the end of the First Era. With the absence of the role of King, the role of Duke also fell absent. Claiming descent (and continuity) from the line of Kings, the Blue Council elected a lord to the role of Duke of Tmezestos, and declared that it was to be an elective position by the Lords of the Blue Council. This continued up until the Third Era, where the Patrician Crisis and the Tmezestian Civil War led to the role gaining its current succession laws. Instead of the Blue Council electing the Duke, now the Patrician Council elects the Duke of Tmezestos, with the Blue Council merely confirming the election as a rubber stamp. This has been the case all the way through the Third Era and to the present.
Prince of the City/Pëòlos Nufausca
This was another role held by the ancient Kings of Tmezestos that was passed down through the Blue Council and their elective procedures. If "King" indicated ruler of the nation, and "Duke" indicated lordship over the direct vassals, then "Prince" indicated direct rulership over the City (sometimes called Tmezestos, Nufaus Tmezestos or Nufaustos) in much the same way that any other landed prince would. Princes arose as a lordly title by the fact that they were almost always descended from a royal prince or princess. The first royal princess granted a title was Peolosia Sciësia Swiolaos ni Meres, who was granted the Peolotses (Principality) of Lus in 1E 23, and became the maternal progenitor of the Lusic Dynasty and the House of Lus.
Holder of the Chains/Hwufos Measpas
When the Patrician Council was in its infancy, the Patricians elected a Holder of the Chains (chains being the symbol of trading authority in Tmezestos since the First Era and the slave-markets of the Starry Plaza) as the leader of the Patrician Council. When the Patrician Council took over electing the Duke of Tmezestos, the role of Holder of the Chains transferred to the Duke, with them now as the dedicated leader of the Council. A second role, the Chamberlain, which also has ancient relation to trade rights, now acts as the de facto leader of the Patrician Council.
Patrician of [Tfëlaxas]/Meascacŋ Fiëpfos [Tfëlaxasca]
A Patrician is simply the head of a patrician family. The term "Meascacŋ Fiëpfos" comes from the Cmosto meas, meaning 'chain' and fiëpfos, meaning 'patron', thus translating the term roughly to "chained patron". The patrician family Tfëlaxas is one of the newer patrician families in Tmezestos, with Ròstu being the first Patrician of that house to rule as Duke. There are many patrician houses in Tmezestos, and most hold extensive land in the city and close-by surrounding lands, as well as in the harbour.
Master of the Waves/Ŋuòfos Sepëispas
Given the trading nature of Tmezestian patricians, a Master of the Waves was usually selected as a form of harbourmaster-meets-weatherman, in charge of the various ships moving in and out of port. Due to the prestige and sway of the title, many (though by no means all) Holders of the Chains also served as Masters of the Waves. The prestige of the post never really waned, so much so that, when technology improved so much that individuals with fairly little training could tell the weather, and thus Masters of the Waves became all but obsolete, the title was rolled in with that of the Head of State.
Highest Lord and Greatest Patrician/Stòs Tnelè en Meascacŋ Fiëpfos Nèilè
This part is fairly self-evident, though it has a somewhat interesting history. See, when the Interregnum occurred, lacking a King, the entire nation of Tmezestos completely fell apart. Central power all but vanished, and even the Blue Council curried little power. A Duke of the city of Tmezestos was not considered massively above any other Duke in terms of prestige. As the Second Era dragged on, save for the increasing trade power that Tmezestos was accruing thanks to its Patricians, Tmezestos was not all that powerful, but as the Dukes of the Third Era began to gain more power for the nation and subjugate many of the disparate Dukes, many felt a distinction needed to be made on why one Duke was able to vassalise another. The solution, many felt, was to make official the fact that the Duke of Tmezestos is the Highest Lord of the realm, especially as there could be no King of Tmezestos by sacred law. The addition of Greatest Patrician was, in many ways, a jab by one patrician family against another in history, and despite being a fairly petty mark, it has stuck ever since.
TL:DR; Cmostuns and Tmezestians like titles...

The position for the Head of State and the Head of the Government is separated in the Aquaria.
For the Head of State, the full title is the President of the Socialist Federal Republic of the Aquaria, or Présidenta déla Républik fédérati soçialistika de Aquaria in Aqua Language. Similar to Germany, they are just your average virtual head of state, who does nothing but appoint the Chancellor elected, and go around the world for diplomatic events.
For the Head of the Government, the full title is the Chancellor of the Socialist Federal Republic of the Aquaria, or Chancélää déla Républik fédérati soçialistika de Aquaria in Aqua Language. They are the true leader of the country, who do all the political stuffs.

*Insert Name here*, President of the Separatist Federal Republic of Cascadia and the bioregion of *insert Bioregion here* and the State of *Insert State here.*
so in Nathan Connors sake, it's: Nathan Connors, President of the Separatist Federal Republic of Cascadia, and of the bioregion and state of Oregon.
In terms of Tribal affiliations, a president with that background, would be addressed as President of the Separatist Federal Republic of Cascadia, and the recognized tribal nation of *Inset Tribe Name Here*
Explanations:
Since Cascadia is a massively decentralized nation, Cascadia is split among lines of Bioregions to individual States in the Union. So to properly address the president of the nation, you begin with Cascadian identity (Since it's the national identity), then the Bioregion and finally ending with the state. Since Oregon is a Bioregion and a state, they are addressed as one.

The full title of the leader of Walnajamu is Raisa Milele Yabuddheyu (originally Hakimatu). However, in all official meetings, it is considered formal to simply refer to the current leader as Raisa Milele Fahra, Fahra being the first name of the current leader. Now, "Raisa Milele" and "Yabuddheyu" probably sound like gibberish even to the people who speak the languages Walnajamu derives from. So, here's a brief explanation of both parts of the title.
Raisa Milele
Rasia Milele roughly translates to "Chief of the Immortals." While this title might sound really badass, it is actually a rather humble title with context. The official pretitle of Walnajamu is the Immortal Republic, with 'immortals' being a demonym for civilians of the Republic (though this is considered antiquated and most use 'Walnajamu'). As such, "Chief of the Immortals" is more of a 'first among equals'-esc title, as it implies a much more 'simple' status as compared to 'King' and a more secular status compared to 'Imam.'
Yabuddheyu
Yabuddheyu is a more modern term replacing Hakimatu, but both roughly have the same meaning - "wise one." Yabuddheyu takes on a more "secular" meaning, however, and thus replaced the "Islamic" Hakimatu in 1976. The reason for the title is one of formality, as the Raisa Milele leads both the elected lower house and the unelected upper house. However, the upper house consists entirely of Religious figures, 12 Imams, 1 Catholic Priest, and 1 Hindu Pujari. As such, Yabuddheyu acts as a title for an 'unordained' religious leader, forgoing religious responsibility whilst still allowing the Raisa Milele to organize the Upper House.
Edit: I am going to answer every question here thsufar... later. I'll put it in a spoiler so that I don't spam
