[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#13805) Patch: Suggested change of default ruler titles

["Daniel Markstedt" <himasaram@xxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=13805 >

This patch applies on /data/default/governments.ruleset and alters the 
default ruler titles.

- Despotism becomes King/Queen.
- Monarchy becomes Emperor/Empress
- Anarchy becomes Citizen/Citizen

In the current ruleset, moving from Despotism (Emperor) to Monarchy 
(King) feels like a degradation. Linguistically, that is. In reality, 
an emperor is ruling a much more advanced form of government, where he 
may have several vassal kings below him. In short, King is a weaker 
title than Emperor.

The titles for Anarchy is inspired by the French Revolution, where 
kings and noblemen suddenly all became "citizens" and equal with 
everybody else. This is of course not analogous with the situation in 
the game, but I find it quite fitting.
