Metternich for Diplomacy. Talleyrand was probably more skillful, but he is not someone to trust.

He was one of the greatest practical philosophers ever. He would cure many societal problems.

bump

Id go as far as to say they don't deserve to live.

Rosalind Franklin

Harem:
Cleopatra
Joan of Arc
Dorothy Dandridge

Ministers:
Prime Minister: Abraham Lincoln
Health: Mary Seacole
Education: Zeno of Citium
Interior: Confucius
Business/Industry: Edmund Heckler and
Theodore Koch
Military: Sun Tzu
Art: Vincent van Gogh

You know how to have fun, I respect that.
Not sure about Caesar and Bonaparte though.

I would clone Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord and have him run everything.

Who?

i should have realized this thread was summer when all the names were famous generals and shit.

I post an actual famous statesman and you dont even have the fucking sense to google it before you look retarded

>Get upset because not everybody on this board is focused on French history

The user literally asked who, calm your loins. He doesn't look retarded from this, only you do.

>that user
>he looks it up and then pretends to be another person

you literally cant make this shit up

fuck off summer

Your paranoia is hilarious, but No.3107493 wasn't my post, and yes, I'm a Summerfag, but at least I'm not a belligerent cunt.

Nice autism you got there.

keep digging that hole retard, you dont even realize that threads track how many unique people post, otherwise you wouldnt try to lie.

You and the rest of you idiots that dont know anything about history should go back to /v/ or /tv/ or wherever the hell you came from. These "please list some famous names for me so I can look smart for my friends" threads are obvious.

In fact, just stay in these threads. Stay away from actual discussions, or better yet, read a book.

Sorry, faggot, you're just an ass.

Inb4

>Phoneposting

It's comfy

Retard, because I don't know an obscure French politician from the ass end of history?
It's people like you that are the reason so few people care for history anymore.
Also, it's Veeky Forums not /tv/.
/v/ are actual autists, so don't compare me to them
Lastly, I will go thoroughbred Veeky Forums neckbeard on you if you don't calm down.

thats a lot of effort to get off your computer, find the thread on your phone, and then pretend to be another person.

If you put half that much effort into actually reading history you might have known who the most famous statesman of the napoleonic era was, the literal bismarck or churchill of his time, thats how uncultured you are.

>obsure French politician
>Talleyrand
>still only knows what he scanned from wikipedia

youre adorable. you should leave Veeky Forums

>I know history more than anybody else here because I know a French statesmen

Honestly, I prefer the people here for fun and learning over the wanna-be elitists. Your like tend to add nothing of value yet shit up threads with this arrogant bs.

>Autism
Sorry, my focus in history is in antiquity and thalassocrocies/maritime republics. That tends not to include France.

And before you spout
>Summer!!!!!
>Samefaggg

Here are my current posts, faggot

Uncultured? because I don't know some obscure French politician from the ass end of history?
Seriously, calm your tits, you're worse than the furries back when they tried to claim warhammer wednsdays on be, may the bitch 'flare' long burn in the 9th circle of hell.

>responding to an obvious troll

Talleyrand very well known if you study French history, or really that time period. But that is besides the fact. This guys just a faggot who wants to feel smart on an Tibetan photoshop website.

Scipio was a good choice, but Sun Tzu is still better.

Sorry, I just want to give his life a little purpose

Probably, but the Punic wars are just one of my favorite topics, so had to include him.

this thread deserves to burn for attracting plebs like flies to a lantern.

Actually, if we could let them all in and then burn it down, that might be the best solution.

You only see threads like this in the summer. Filled with absolute retards who dont know who Talleyrand is. Adorable.

Have fun plebs

Either way, I'm standing by my choices.
Except maybe Dandridge, that was a spur of the moment thing.

>muh punic wars

so are you trying to sound like "babby's first Veeky Forums post" or does that just come naturally to you?

Oh my God! He was a fucking troll, how could I have been so blind? I've never seen that shit on Veeky Forums before. The shock and horror of it all!

Rommel is infamous for his capability as a general and utter failure as a field marshal, why the pick?

Ironic, considering it actually is my first Veeky Forums post, and I'm still proud of it, no matter what you and your ilk say.

lol

this thread is literally cancer. All of your lists are pleb shit. Like youre desperately just listing every historical figure you know
>caesar
>napoelon
>scipio
>hannibal
>fucking abraham lincoln

I think im the one getting trolled if you guys are serious

What's wrong with liking the Punic wars? I'm into Phoenicia and Carthage so obviously I'm going to study the Punic Wars.

Huh? That was my post m8

>Ignoring Hannibal's effectiveness as a statesmen

K

No, it's just your trolling bouncing off of us and back onto you.

just stop. saying "im interested in the punic wars" is like saying "i like -insert top40 artist- and trying to have a discussion about it on /mu/, or making a cowboy bebop thread on /a/ or a game of thrones thread on /tv/

lurk more, read some books, this is pathetic. Start with talleyrand, guy was top notch

Sorry, thought it was his n00bish attempt at trolling.

i love how you bounce your retardation off each other and calm each other down, some good retard teamwork right here.

and Mary Seacole and zeno of Citium weren't.
We could either sit down and discuss these things, or we could keep on bitching and whining until we ruin the thread for everyone.

when the thread is this shitty the latter seems preferrable. Id enjoy talking to you guys about history about as much as Id enjoy hearing a homeless bum what he thinks of the real estate market.

Like I said, interested in antiquity and thalassocrocies, so going to stick with this over periods and countries I really have no interest in.

Sorry I happen to also like something popular, not everything has to be niche or obscure (Talleyrand obviously isn't, but you get my point).

>Read a book
Currently reading The Phoenicians and the West. I'd recommend it if that period is your thing

You're really not helping yourself

If you don't stop bitching and whining, I will spam this thread with porn, Courtesy of /s/, /b/ and Veeky Forums.
Or you could discuss this in a civilised fashion and use the thread as intended.

I would vastly prefer a discussion, but it's your choice.

WAIT NO! I don't want Sun Tzu as my minister for war, I want raving mad Jack Churchill!

I think he meant the other kind

Realistically speaking, having ministers from another era would do you no good: The whole reason that they would be capable ministers is because they actually know what the fuck is going on. Although I would appoint Jesus Christ to be my chief evangelist (my pet celebrity who I would parade around giving speeches to motivate people into loyalty)

My cabinet would be a dominated by educated elites, Ph.Ds in their field and my empire would be heavily decentralized governing districts: the goal would be a system which is constantly scaling up and integrating lessons learned at the local level. It would be promotion through peer-reviewed meritocracy with two tribunes; a capital tribune and a labor tribune, one elected through popular vote, the other only eligible to property holders, who hold the power to veto legislation.

Wife: I'm not a NEET with a waifu complex so I would leave this position vacant so that I could use it to secure a political alliance at a later date.

Harem: I'm not paying for a warehouse full of women to sit around waiting for me to fuck them. What I will do, however, is exercise the right of the first night, deflowering a different woman every night. Any woman who gets pregnant will be granted a state pension, and the bastard given good schooling and allowed to lead a normal life.

>Educated elite pH.d and no harem
This is a terrible society

Harems are a waste of money. I'd turn it into a huge social honor for a woman to have "dear leader" inside of them.

And the educated elite's first order of business will be the large scale repression of idiot culture. My empire would not be a place where people are proud of being slack jawed imbeciles.

There's more to intelligence than a college degree. You'll be limiting your pool of options to a bunch of autists essentially.

And yet, the military requires its officers to have a college degree and will even pay for a candidate to go to college just so they can put them in OCS.

Bubba Jo the middle manager at a midwestern corporation which manufactures and sells metering electronics to utility companies will be summoned when dear leader has a question about meters. When he has a question about international affairs he'll turn to the guy who studies international affairs as his full time job.

And mustangs make much better officers than the ones straight out of college. Education can be a good supplement, but relying on that is pointless. Experience is what is necessary
