User talk:Francis Schonken/List of fictional rulers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is this supposed to be a list of fictional leaders of the whole world, like a dictator of Earth? Or a list of fictional leaders of different countries? Would this better be titled "List of fictional rulers?" Also, the Patrician isn't even on Earth, he rules in another Universe completely.

[edit] The Others

I was looking at the "Other" section, and I think we need to make some rules as to who qualifies as a ruler. Grand Fenwick and Borogravia are sovereign duchies, but Sto Helit has fealty to the crown of Sto Lat, so Mort and Susan don't count. Similarly, it's my understanding that a Prime Minister in a monarchy, such as Allen Summervale isn't a ruler, he's the representative of the people and head of government, but the monarch is head of state. (I haven't read the Honor Harrington books (yet - they're on my list), so this may work differently in the Star Kingdom of Manticore.)

And do all the demons need to be there?

I still haven't read Honor Harrington, but I've looked at the Manticore entry and the political set up seems pretty much the same as the UK's.

[edit] Satan is fictional

Why do you include Satan in the list of FICTIONAL rulers?? I thought we have NPOV. Christians believe that Satan exists, so we cannot call him "fictional."
