Government Ranks and Titles

In addition to any other titles a player may have, they are also assigned a title based on their government and how highly they rank among players with that government. In general, numerous unique titles exist for each government. There are exceptions, however, and circumstances in which a government rank-related title will be overridden. We will deal with these first.

In all ranks an X is used to designate the player's name; ordered lists are used where possible. Where a female variation of a title exists, the title will be listed in the format Male/Female. Titles placed in an unordered list are either the last title in the government's hierarchy (such as Comrade for Communists), or their rank among the titles is unknown.

Unique Titles

As of 8 May 2007, there are two non-government-related titles that override the government title. They are Farmer and Chief Inspector. These titles effectively take the place of the government title, preceding the player's name on the scoreboard.

Anarchy

Anarchy, appropriately has no government ranks. On the scoreboard, Anarchist players will be identified simply by their name.

Syndicalism

It seems fairly certain that there is only one Syndicalist government title:

  • Citizen X

Communism

Communists only have two government ranks.

  1. Chairman/Chairwoman X
    • Comrade X

Bureaucracy

  1. Ultraviolet Troubleshooter X
  2. Violet Troubleshooter X

Theocracy

Similar to Fascism, Theocrat government titles based on rank are divided into subsets, but Theocracy has three subsets, not two, based on the player's chosen religion (Christianity, Islam, or Buddhism).

Buddhism

  1. Dalai Lama X
  2. Panchen Lama X
  3. Karmapa X
  4. Shamarpa X
  5. Tai Situpa X

  7. Unknown
  8. X the Abbot/Abbess

Islam

  1. Caliph X
    • Ayatollah X
    • Imam
      • While confirmation is difficult, it seems likely that this title changes depending on vassal status, and is the final title in the Islamic list. Confirmed sightings of the title follow.
      • 4 vassals, 6th-ranked Theocrat: Imam X the Jewel of the Believers
