Yes, that why i think that the number of cities and the year under
control of the player all play a role. This could trigger a different
version of despotism govnmt.. so if you want more realism with
government titles, you need more governments.

"Chieftain" is fine for early times but later one the equivalent is
"Captain" or so. Of course in a way this ends up as a complete mess,
so you'd have to allow the player to choose his title. Like in real
life (Monaco, Liechtenstein have a monarch with the title prince)
