In name only... should we remain known as the Sovereign Natopian Empire.... or go back to the Sovereign Imperial Kingdom of Natopia? I expect beside the name, the only other thing to change would be my title... so also consider how you would like to address me... Emperor or King?

Actually we've never been the Sovereign Imperal Kingdom of Natopia, I thought it was Sovereign Natopian Kingdom before, but I felt the Imperial name would be more compatible with the original culture of the republic.

Crap is fun... as you would have seen on the last "Monday Night Raw." Perhaps I need to express that better: "Kingdoms are more fun than Empires to participate in." Yes, I know it's ESSENCIALLY pointless, but I just... always hated the Empire thing. From a VERY early age I thought the Japanese "Emperor" was tacky. Natopia wasn't asian themed last time I checked... although the weed green would have you think so

Natopia's current political system is looooosely based off the Holy Roman Empire... what with elected emperors and having kingdoms and duchies with considerable power....
and yet its not based on the HRE... because power is consolidated in the emperor.
When i hear "emperor" or "empire" I automaticall think all things Roman.

Oh... well then that works, but then you would be Caesar (or czar/tsar if you wanted to )

Brian Capelle, Emperors existed in Europe before the Japanese shoguns where EVER called Emperor. And Caesar and Czar are simply better ways to say Emperor.

Once again, keeping things the way they are are not always the best thing, but at this point it does not matter.
Actually I hate "Czar" and prefer "Tsar" but Caesar is the coolest, and it would be new for micronations, but all of them beat Emperor.
And obviously me talking about Rome makes me know Empires predate Japan.
In fact... the Holy Roman EMpire (Charlemagne) had a King...
