Just the First Citizen	comment	This is a variation of The Emperor. Maybe he's a dictator who controls half the universe with an iron fist, whom no one dares to oppose. Maybe he can order a planet destroyed and no one will so much as try to object. You will probably expect his title to be three pages of Badass Boast, probably ending with something pompous like "The Magnificent." Or maybe he is a Reasonable Authority Figure who recognizes that blatant displays of power, even just by holding the title "Emperor", may cause unnecessary complications in the affairs of state. Either way, his title is short, simple, and unpretentious, quite possibly little more than a job descriptor. His authority doesn't come from his title; it comes from himself. Also, it's a perfect way to escape responsibility. You don't rule anything, after all; you're "just a citizen." It can demonstrate how well you've stayed attuned to the common people and their needs, or shameless propaganda to present such an image. It may also be necessary to not violate tradition, the constitution or both. Say your country has a century old aversion to having a king. Well, if you are just the "hereditary first citizen" you are not a king, are you? Or your country's constitution has term limits on the presidency. Surely there Ain't No Rule against being "head of the national guard" forever? The pretense that he is just a Permanent Elected Official is common. May preside over a Hereditary Republic. This is Truth in Television, Older Than Feudalism, and much more common in Real Life than in fiction. See also Modest Royalty and Reasonable Authority Figure. Contrast The Magnificent, I Have Many Names and Authority in Name Only. Often found ruling a People's Republic of Tyranny.

Kwak does this when he creates a National Crows Party and uses it to seize power in Great Waterland, in a clear satire of the rise and fall of Nazism. Like Hitler's FÃ¼hrer, he demands that others refer to him exclusively as "The President" or "President Dolf". Note that he does this in a country that has apparently been a monarchy for many hundreds if not more years, and where this title doesn't seem to have been widely if at all used prior to Dolf's adoption of it.

Just the First Citizen / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: The Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, whose title simply means "member of a political family". The fact the Patricianship tended to be limited to certain families for some time blunts that it was technically an elected office: in Night Watch it's mentioned that the guilds elect him, and the Patrician has an official residence. But one man, one vote... he's the man, so he gets the vote. The Archchancellor of Unseen University likes to describe his position as being "first among equals". Though he puts more emphasis on the "first." Ponder Stibbons, who wields more-or-less absolute power over the University by virtue of being the only one who ever does any work, doesn't actually have a title at all - at least not one that explains his power. His power ultimately stems from holding seventeen staff positions simultaneously, each of which has an unimportant title associated with it, each of which gives him a council vote. By giving him more positions than the other members of the council combined they turned him into a majority voting block and quorum all by himself. This went completely unnoticed until he called attention to it to stop a wizard civil war from igniting in an emotionally charged moment, and afterwards the wizards decided something needed to be done to reduce his power... so they asked Ponder to deal with it. Goes further than most with Granny Weatherwax, who doesn't even have a title. Witches don't have leaders, and while there are many idiosyncratic reasons for that one of the big ones is that Granny wouldn't approve of such a thing. She's also referred to as one of the most respected leaders they don't have. The dwarfs' word for their King literally translates to "senior mining engineer" — an understated gesture of authority, given the vast network of mining communities that constitutes the dwarf homeland. Kings are elected by the senior mining leaders and are the final word in dispute resolution.

Just the First Citizen / int_49a88442	comment	In Final Fantasy XIV, the Crystal Exarch's epithet is a result of his refusal to be called a "king" despite earning himself unquestioned authority over the Crystarium. The people wound up calling him the Crystal Exarch for his ties to the Crystal Tower and his leadership. His real name, G'raha Tia, could be said to count as well. Seeker of the Sun naming conventions label males as "Nunh" if they are in a position of leadership, or "Tia" if they are not. Y'shtola (also a Seeker herself) observes that, as leader of the Crystarium, he would be perfectly justified in calling himself "G'raha Nunh" if he wished, but he continues to introduce himself as Tia.

Nonetheless, all superhumans in her faction, including herself, are merely called "citizen." This actually has a gameplay effect; if you're unlucky enough to flip her card to the Nigh-Invulnerable side, she'll only flip back once enough citizens are in play - which is one fewer than the card would have you believe, because she counts as one.

After being dethroned, he becomes supreme leader of the Central Powers while using the mere title of "Graf" (Count in German), though he is technically outranked by Kaiser Wilhelm II, Emperor Franz-Joseph, Sultan Mehmed V and Tsar Ferdinand, therefore is a Dragon-in-Chief.

He and his priest friend really run the empire and their four other friends (formerly the other members of their evil adventuring party) run two other empires, making them the de-facto rulers of a third of the continent altogether. The empress being a particularly dimwitted dragon helps with that charade, and they kill anyone who is too close to finding out that Tarquin has more powers than "just a general" should.

Yet, his official title is that of Jarl (the ruler of a single hold) instead of High King.

Then he goes on to be in charge of Special Operations FOXHOUND and a large military fortress on the southern tip of Africa known as Outer Heaven, and then his own nation of Zanzibar Land. Throughout all of this he takes no military or political rank, simply being known as Big Boss. Revolver/Liquid Ocelot himself manages to become the most powerful man in the world by taking control of every weapon in the world using his GoP system.

Although being a member of one of the Great Houses confers significant opportunities for and possession of power as a matter of course, there are no titles that automatically come with it (and even the titles one gains from taking actual positions in government are fairly humble; Senator, Satrap, Minister, etc.). The heads of each House are some of the most powerful people in the Realm, but are known merely by their personal names.

The highest leadership position is Acting First Advisor; the position of First Advisor is reserved for their founder, who is still officially missing in action and has never been formally declared Legally Dead even centuries past his natural lifespan. (And it's none-too-subtly suggested that there might be more to this than sentimental reverence.) Position is obtained purely by merit, and the ability to get people to follow suggestions.

However, this is an Enforced Trope — one of the founders of Thera summoned several massive earth elementals to create a Sphinx statue that would sit outside the First Governor's palace, watching him for signs of corruption (including making Thera into an empire), and would go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge at its discretion. Not taking up the Name of Emperor is a safeguard against that, even though Thera essentially HAS become The Empire. They also make sure to make the expansive First Governor's Mansion is mostly invisible from the outside, though it's unlikely such a powerful magical construct would be fooled.

You see, Stoick the Vast of Berk is the chief of a small Norse tribe in the Hebrides, not some distant and aloof king surrounded by protocol. He's but a village headman in touch with his populace... except that he has an air force. His son and heir, the polymath, is leaving the underpinnings of the 11th century Eurasian economy curled up in the corner crying for their mothers. He has not only conquered southern Ireland after an unprovoked attack but also seized London by force and handed the thrones of England-Denmark to a claimant of his choosing. Unsurprisingly, it remains a low-key running gag that everyone outside of his immediate circle switches to more exalted terms of address when he is out of earshot.

Oddly enough, while the title fits, she makes it very clear that she is the leader (more clear than it seems she actually is - she says autocratic rule is absolutely necessary for a government to function, yet she can be overruled by a Council).

However, it becomes clear to the Courier that they respect and fear him in equal measure to the point where if he told them to "Jump", they would have done so immediately without bothering to ask "How high?"

Some seventy years later in The Legend of Korra, Kuvira commands a massive army and is effectively the military dictator of the self-same nation - now the Earth Empire - but does not appear to hold any official rank whatsoever. She is referred to as the "Great Uniter", is addressed occasionally as "your Eminence", and Mako refers to her as "your emperor" in a conversation with one of her lieutenants, but those are just aliases/compliments, not actual titles. One benevolent example is Suyin Beifong: as the founder and leader of Zaofu, she doesn't seem to have an official title, though her seniority is clearly acknowledged by others.

Just the First Citizen / int_73d7930f	comment	Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: After Gul Dukat takes over the Cardassian government, he retains the title Gul, roughly equivalent to a colonel or navy captain: The Terok Nor novels suggest that, having served under a succession of Legates who are little more than Obstructive Bureaucrats, he's developed something of a grudge against the position. Dukat's former protege Damar and successor as the head of Cardassian government clearly didn't feel the same way; he jumped straight from Glinn (roughly equivalent to a major) to Legate, skipping the rank of Gul entirely. As Sisko noted in the quote above, Dukat did hold the rank of Legate once, an award for supporting the Detapa Council's coup over the Central Command. Dukat lost that title, though, when he brought Ziyal back with him. A half-Bajoran daughter didn't exactly play over well, even with the civilian government, and he was demoted to freighter duty, and ultimately left to fight the Klingons on his own.

Just the First Citizen / int_7443be26	comment	Streets of Rogue is an odd case, possibly being an aversion in-universe but certainly appearing to play this trope straight by real world expectations. The city has a mayor like any other and the mayor goes by their title of mayor, nothing unusual there. However, the mayor in this setting is effectively an omnipotent dictator with complete authority to decree anything on a whim and who has an army of police willing to kill anyone on command. Due to the intentional ambiguity of the setting it's anyone's guess whether they should have a more impressive title and are just sticking with "mayor" to downplay their position or if that is just the average expected level of power for any given mayor in that world.

Just the First Citizen / int_745711f9	comment	In Look to the West, Rodrigus Alfarus, the de facto leader of the Societist Combine in its early years, has the title of "Kapud", commander of the Celatores (which looks a lot like an army, but Societism teaches that war is always wrong, so it can't be), and is outranked by the Zonal Rejes, except that he's the one that appoints them. Combine diplomats claim bewilderment when countries negotiating with them ask for confirmation by such a minor civil servant, although this is probably an affectation. This comes back to bite him when the Danubian Societists — who follow a heterodox version of Societism, and appointed their own Rej unilaterally — also pretend to believe he's a minor civil servant.

Just the First Citizen / int_7d8c61a2	comment	Star Wars: The Old Republic: Darth Marr is only one of approximately a dozen Lords of the Dark Council at any given time, but is their de facto leader, which in turn makes him essentially the regent of the entire Sith Empire when Emperor Vitiate is silent. The reason for this is that he does his level best to stay out of the chronic backstabbing of Sith politics and focuses on keeping the Empire itself intact, which means the other Lords of the Council mostly trust that he isn't secretly trying to undermine them. With the death of the Emperor's current host body in the Jedi Knight storyline, he becomes even more powerful, and forms a Big Bad Duumvirate with the Sith Inquisitor PC after Rise of the Hutt Cartel, which lasts until his death in Knights of the Fallen Empire. Despite being a Sith Lord, Lana Beniko goes by her full name rather than a Sith title/name. Occasionally she'll be referred to as "Lord Beniko" or "Minister Beniko" but more often than not everyone just calls her Lana.

Just the First Citizen / int_7fc78282	comment	The Lord of the Rings: Though the Stewards of Gondor aren't kings, they control the nation with the same authority the now-defunct line of kings had. Aragorn would have a harder time claiming the long-vacant kingship if not for the suicide of Denethor, the last Ruling Steward, the death in battle of his first son Boromir and near-death of his second son Faramir, although it turned out the second was fine with handing over control to Aragorn. (It probably helped in the latter case that Aragorn clearly intended to spend a good chunk of time in the north reestablishing Arnor as a kingdom, leaving his Gondorian Steward—i.e. Faramir—to run things in the south while he was away.) The Lady Galadriel of LothlÃ³rien controls everything that happens and can read the minds of intruders into her realm, keeps her people safe from Sauron, and is one of the oldest beings in the world, but is simply called the Lady or the White Lady. Though this is at least partially because her name itself is considered a Badass Boast among elves. Elrond, while "mighty among Elves and Men" and fairly powerful, is simply called "Master Elrond". Elves barely have any concept of "rank"; while they attach prestige to lineage, an individual's actual power mostly derives solely from other elves being willing to follow him (though if a given leader doesn't make many mistakes, other Elves will tend to prefer status quo to revolution). Their political model is basically, in anthropological terms, a pre-chiefdom tribal one, like that of the Sioux or Apache. (Which makes sense, since most of the time they have no need for an order of succession.) Mind you, the Elves do have more traditional sophisticated monarchies, and in ages past there were many Elf kingdoms,note The First Age had more than you can realistically count, while Gil-galad ran a decent-sized kingdom in the Second Age. but in the Third Age the only proper kingdoms of Elves remaining in Middle-Earth are that of Thranduil at the northern end of Mirkwood (Legolas's people) and LothlÃ³rien (of which Galadriel styles herself "Lady" but everyone recognizes her as a queen in all but name). The other remaining Elven kingdoms are in Valinor.

His sense of egalitarianism seems especially odd, since as a rule he's not exactly humble. Word of God is that the title is Oberon's attempt at humility, and he does consider himself to be humble - he's just too arrogant to be any good at it. The rest of the Third Race puts up with him because their previous ruler, Oberon's mother Queen Mab, was The Caligula outright, and even Oberon looks good next to her. He was also actually pretty reasonable compared to Titania, originally; her being a Royal Brat led him to divorce her and exile the whole race from Avalon for several centuries. However, the centuries among mortals caused her to mellow and develop while he remained the same because he didn't think he had any lessons to learn.

Just the First Citizen / int_86c3beca	comment	Girl Genius: Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Despite reluctantly controlling most of Central and Eastern Europe, Klaus Wulfenbach seems content with the lowly title of Baron. For those of you unfamiliar with noble titles, this is like the Chief of Naval Operations insisting on being called Lieutenant; in most systems of nobility it's not the absolute lowest title, but it's close. He also uses this to rub everyone's noses in the fact that yes, they're princes and dukes and whatnot, and according to their rules of succession he wasn't eligible to assume the title even of Baron Wulfenbach (due to being the patched-together and reanimated remains of three Wulfenbach brothers killed in a lab accident), but an illegitimate heir to a minor house was the one who ended the Long War which was destroying Europa. Would-be king of Europa Martellus claims that this was the Baron's biggest mistake, saying that if he had crowned himself Emperor, all of the nobles would have gladly followed him. Refusing the title was refusing to play the game, an insult the noble houses couldn't forgive. It's unclear if he's right, but it turns out that Klaus had a plan for that too—his son is Skifander royalty, on his mother's side. The von Mekkans are seneschals of Heterodyne Lords, and this responsibility includes running the city of Mechanicsburg. They are heads of the shadow government since Wulfenbach conquered the city, but their only official title is "Doom Bell Ringer." To give an idea of just how humble this title is, the Doom Bell is automated. (This is not to mention that it never rings when there's no Heterodyne in residence.) Vanamonde, the current Seneschal, doesn't even seem to have an office, as he prefers to do all of his work at his favorite coffee shop.

Just the First Citizen / int_90f18253	comment	Many of the leadership titles in Battletech are somewhat modest for rulers who hold executive power over dozens and sometimes hundreds of worlds and billions of citizens. While the Lyran "Archon", the FedSun "First Prince" and the "Captain-General" of the Free Worlds League are somewhat impressive, the Draconis Combine is ruled by a "Coordinator" and the rulers of the Capellan Confederation are simply referred to as "Chancellor" (both are military dictatorships where the ruler holds absolute power). Inverted with the "Lord Protector" of the Taurian Concordat, as the protector only has power over the Concordat's protection through the Taurian armed forces and the Taurian constitution (and a very powerful legislative and judicial system) heavily limits their power over civilian life. The title of "First Lord of the Star League" started out that way: A news broadcast graphic during the intro cutscene of the most recent game adaptation even outright describes him as "first among equals". Although despite the fact that the setting had been a Feudal Future for two hundred years at that point, the post didn't become a truly straight example until much later; initially there was a council of "High Lords" made up of the rulers of what would go on to become the Successor States, and the First Lord's ability to overrule them was greatly limited. The day when that ceased to be true is generally agreed to be the point when the Star League started to fall apart.

Just the First Citizen / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 The Tau apparently have a dozen words for variations on "First among equals". The Ethereals especially are just one of five equal castes, and definitely not a ruling class of any kind. Also, the Emperor of Mankind. Even though his soul is literally crafted from the human sacrifices of thousands of psychics, deep down he's just another human who has his seriously dickish moments. He established himself as the Be-All-End-All messiah of Mankind while explicitly declaring that he was NOT God, that a God of Humanity NEVER existed, and that the reason why he is in charge is because he's the most powerful human in the galaxy, period. Unfortunately, this goes horribly wrong, especially when it came to his overly-religious son Lorgar. 10,000 years later, the inverse has happened; everybody worships him as a god, so he now has the power of one, but he's also dying. His "son" Roboute Guilliman took the title of "Lord Commander of the Imperium" following the Emperor being placed in the Golden Throne, and effectively ruled the Imperium as a second emperor for a time until he was fatally wounded in battle. He reclaimed the position after being revived 10,000 years later.

And interestingly enough, it's only when he does that that Kramer Associates decide he's gone too far and engineer a coup to bring him down. Vincent Mercator later does this several different ways — first, after the Military Coup he engineers following the chaos of the Global War, he has his nominal superior Field Marshal Garcia rule as a Puppet King. Then, after a few years, he takes direct power but doesn't promote himself past his normal rank of Colonel. And finally, when he eventually sets up a facade of democracy, he doesn't get himself elected President, but rather settles for the position of Secretary of War (while the newly elected President is another Puppet King).

Just the First Citizen / int_e817aba1	comment	The title of "First Lord of the Star League" started out that way: A news broadcast graphic during the intro cutscene of the most recent game adaptation even outright describes him as "first among equals". Although despite the fact that the setting had been a Feudal Future for two hundred years at that point, the post didn't become a truly straight example until much later; initially there was a council of "High Lords" made up of the rulers of what would go on to become the Successor States, and the First Lord's ability to overrule them was greatly limited. The day when that ceased to be true is generally agreed to be the point when the Star League started to fall apart.

Prime Minister of the United States of Europe (before he - intentionally - loses reelection), a mere general among many in the army of Gustav Adolph of Sweden - the people however only refer to him as "the Prince of Germany" - a funny title for an erstwhile Union organizer from Appalachia. Prince also directly derives from the Latin Word princeps, the title the Trope Namer Augusts wanted to be referred to; it's no accident that the German word for it, FÃ¼rst, sounds like "first".

Despite this, he's obviously the de facto leader of the Anarchs in downtown L.A., since they all look to him for leadership and follow his advice. Of course, given how the anarchs operate, he didn't exactly pick his role or take the position by free will, and is instead thrust into his position through respect from the other anarchs in Los Angeles. For a bit of contrast, we do have Isaac, the Baron of Hollywood, and he doesn't hold nearly as much authority over the Anarchs as Nines does, even with a title.
