In terms of the ranks of Authority Tropes, the tropes that are equal are The Good Chancellor, Evil Chancellor, Standard Royal Court and Deadly Decadent Court. Named for what is probably history's best known whack-job, Roman emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known as Caligula ( Little Boots, his childhood nickname), a reference to the child-sized "caliga" warrior's sandals he wore as a small child when his father took him to watch a war remembered for talking to statues, locking granaries, declaring war on Poseidon (and "winning", afterwards commanding his soldiers to collect seashells as war-prizes), making his horse a consul, and boning his sisters. Lawful Evil Caligulas are possible (though rare enough to be almost unheard of) as any alignment is subject to insanity and Lawful Evil characters do enjoy establishing cruel laws and seeing their minions enforce them.
The canonical alignment for many Caligulas is Chaotic Evil of the Type 4 variety, though some Neutral Evil examples exist. Also see President Evil for when this guy is actually voted into office See Royally Screwed-Up for when the this type of character becomes a recurring family problem. Modern psychology has shown that the corporate business structure, if emphasizing financial profit to the detriment of anything else, can be especially prone to the appearances of individuals displaying at least a majority if not all of The Caligula's traits (so long as the person seeking profits is a psychopath at least, which is what the book seems to be saying.) The Caligula can be anyone wielding great power within an organization while being completely nuts. This is not limited to sovereign heads of state. If he's a Glory Hound, he has an advantage over most: he can start wars. permanently.Īnd while all of this is going on, the land over which the Caligula rules is rapidly going down the drain due to his neglect. With any luck, thanks to The Starscream/ Reliable Traitor/ La Résistance, a conspiracy will eventually develop to remove the crazy sovereign from his post. The Caligula is very definitely a Bad Boss. Due to their continuing close proximity to the Caligula, members of the Court ( decadent or otherwise) will be the primary targets of his fits of rage. Of course, this could also happen to those who have not done anything at all. To do anything the Caligula finds displeasing is to inevitably be dragged off to a grisly death or worse. He may indulge in renaming cities or even the entire country after himself. The Caligula will be wildly irrational, violently moody, very intolerant of being told anything he doesn't want to hear, and probably afflicted with a god complex.

Yet, despite the sovereign's obvious insanity, he is still given the full power and support of the State, with inevitably disastrous consequences.
It could be the lead plumbing (or complete lack thereof), the immortality elixirs (which all make use of mercury) or it's genetic ( in which case you're in some deep trouble). The downside of any hereditary monarchy is that every so often the throne is inherited by someone completely out of his gourd. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
