Wouldn't you want to be the emperor of race cars or rainbows instead?

Emperor of rainbows, really?

The Emperor of Rainbows is rich with all that leprechaun gold.

The government's families tsar or back-to-work tsar has just resigned over massive fraud (I think, I'm not really following the story).

Why do we only use the Russian version for this?  I think a Welfare Kaiser or a Poverty Caesar would work quite well :mellow:

Well you already have dukes and kings and stuff.  I think "Tycoon" has a similar meaning.  Maybe you can dust off the term "Raja"
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I increasingly notice in my daily life I encounter two types of Japanese.
One, which is under 50, does not speak English. When faced with a foreigner they panic, mutter "No English" and fail at communication.
The other, which is over 50, does not speak English however is seemingly unaware of the fact that there are different languages in the world or that foreigners might not speak Japanese. They take their best guesses at what you're trying to say and keep communicating.

The second sort rules.

That's how a culturally confident people does it.
