OR, if we are working with our Roman Empire map, we could have a Caesar. He would not control any nation but he would have ultimate authority and be able to control plausibility levels. It would be the exact same thing as a United Nations head. The person would have power to postpone the game, or postpone only the one person's moves and call the 'council' or 'meeting' together and see if the move wasn't plausible

And, are you suggesting fusing ideas? Like having every nation still have a back-up person, but the back-up person only be able to control random events?
