Re: Historical Government Dream Team

Joseph II of Austria or Charles V Holy Roman Emperor
The first one a visionary, the latter was a very clever ruler.
One should be the Monarch, the other the prime minister. I'm not sure who I want on what position though.

Foreign Affairs Minister - Paul-Henri Spaak or Leopold II
the first one's one of the main architects of the European Union in every aspect, the latter one was a master diplomat that got him Congo, just for himself.

Defence Minister - Alexander Farnese
One of the world's most brilliant Generals. He's not that well known, but that has nothing to do with his accomplishments though.

Home Secretary - Metternich
He stabilised and pacified the Empire of the Habsburg dynasty in a world that was really changing.

PR Minister - Pieter Paul Rubens
Perhaps one of the odder choices. Baroque art  was aiming to get rid of the religious struggles in this region. It worked brilliantly, and his work is still inspiring and intimidating people today!

Re: Historical Government Dream Team

Monarch/Head of State - Me
What?

Prime Minister/President - Obama
He's pro NHS and he's not the companies' bitch.

Foreign Affairs Minister - Yeltsin
The man knew how to party, and he'd make my country appear much less threatening.

Defence Minister - Kruschev
Mr 9000 nukes himself; Don't mess.

Knew what needed to be done to fix his country. Yeah, I know it all went to cock afterwards, but at least he tried.

That man could spin like a Neutron Star. Seriously.

"So, it's defeat for you, is it? Someday I must meet a similar fate..."

Re: Historical Government Dream Team

I add Decimus as my minister of gas chambers.

Re: Historical Government Dream Team

and IA as minister of gas supply optimization.

Slave laborers have to fart into a tube and collect all those tubes into a bigger tube and so on till they have enough to gas one of those slaves as an example and a prisoner.

While Decimus adds the slaves and prisoners, Justinian runs the project with an iron hand and brutal efficiency.

Re: Historical Government Dream Team

i approve!
