This topic has been on my Nations forum for nearly 5 months with no changes.
I offer it here now. No internal objections have been made. (Yet)

I want to know EXACTLY what you all think of the rank names used in Cillicia
So Far I have,
Archon = King/Queen
Chancellor = Wisdom
Count = High Lord /High Lady
Warrior = Corsair
Only King has been found during my research.
In the time of this game the Greek style of government was used in Cillicia also.
However, we are NOT Hellenes, so I looked to the religion....that we have now...History suggest Cillicia worshippped Mithras. In Zoroastrianism the search for truths is key. So I went toward wisemen and took the gender neutral term WISDOMS.
The Greek (since 300BC Cillician gov't mimiced Greek) Democratic system was fond of votes by land owners , and counts ARE Land Lords, so I chose High Lords.
Because of the Piracy history and the sea affiliation of this tribe I chose a more favorable term( I think) for our warriors, not Pirate but another term from the Mrditerranean, CORSAIRS.
Does Anyone have other Titles they would like to see used? And yes, I am avoiding the Persian Empirial title Satrap. Those Satraps were vassals, we are not following ANYONE but our own choices in this game. We can use the term though if you think it makes better sense.
What do you all think?
