Some new titles
At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not concerned with finding the right names for things. People whose job title is "Peon" are not likely to give effort above and beyond the bare minimum. The retail industry has long been aware of this, and has started calling its employees "associates" or "team members." Since the inception of the local GPD office system we have referred to the people who run them simply as "local GPD officers," but we have noticed that the title breeds a lack of initiative. When we combine this fact with the decline of all things comital, the answer seems obvious. We are hereby official renaming the area served by a local GPD office from a "local region" to a "county" which allows us then to name the officer in charge of the local office a Count or Countess. We do not expect any substantial changes beyond the extra expense of printing new business cards, but we are looking forward to greater efficiency as our local officers strive to be worthy of their new titles! (Besides, now when they have multiple people in line at their office doors they can count them and cause flashes of lightning when they laugh!)
